Zeroes...... Bacofoil and Balsawood death traps. They are the true one hit wonders, though the rest of the Japanses WW2 aircraft wasn't any better.

Having flown them in Battle Stations Midway and Pacific, all I can say is that they're OK until hit and then they fall apart quicker than a Chinese motorcycle.

They were also only able to out perform the US P-40 and F4-F fighters.

Though the Zero could out turn the P-40 Warhawk, F4-F Wildcat, F3-A Corsair and F4-U Corsair, they could not out turn the F2-A Buffalo or F6-F Hellcat.

Remember that the Zero has no self sealing fuel tanks, no armour and a weak magnesium airframe as the costs for nimbleness and agility. The engine isn't that powerful when compared to Allied aircraft in 1941 either.

Nope, I'd rather the Westland Whirlwind and P-38 be added into BOP.

Why would the whirlwind be better? It wasn't really an iconic aircraft such as the wooden wonder.

BUT - its what we want as individuals mate :D so i respect what your saying about wanting it. We all have our own choices.
