Mitsubishi A6M8 mod.64 Zero

25.3k Mikan  5.0 years ago

History
The last Zero of the war. By the end of the war, the Zero was still produced, albeit unlike 4 years ago, it took on the role as a fighter bomber and as a special attack craft. The A6M8 variant switched out the Sakae engine for the new Kinsei, increasing performance. Another 13.2mm gun was added, and the outboard ones were replaced with 20mm. Fuel tank switched from being centreline to wing carried, where which now carries a 500kg bomb.

Operation
AG1 to detach fuel tank (85 gal)
AG5 to conduct carrier operation (landing hook)
AG7 to bail out
AG8 to activate cannons.

Variants
A6M2
A6M2-N
A6M3
A6M3 Kou
A6M5 Ko
A6M5 Hei

Notes
I have been experimenting lately with machineguns, drag and engine. Things should be more realistic now.

    The shape is really good and it flies wonderfully too! It feels a little empty though. Some more details and decal would make it perfect
