Auto Credit Based on EnigmaSP's A5M4

The Mitsubishi A5M, formal Japanese Navy designation Mitsubishi Navy Type 96 Carrier-based Fighter, experimental Navy designation Mitsubishi Navy Experimental 9-Shi Carrier Fighter, company designation Mitsubishi Ka-14, was a WWII-era Japanese carrier-based fighter aircraft. The Type number is from the last two digits of the Japanese imperial year 2596 (1936) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy.

It was the world's first low-wing monoplane shipboard fighter to enter service and the predecessor of the famous Mitsubishi A6M "Zero". The Allied reporting name was Claude.


It's been a while!
First ever (public) build on PC. This was built upon the request of Ayanon.
Expect Iowa-class New Jersey (BB-62) next...

in around 5 years lmao

Do note that the cockpit is NOT entirely accurate, I only cut corners just because I wanted to resume building NJ again. Throttle sticks are intentionally disabled but you can modify it if you want to.
