I'll disagree with "fundamentally"
, errors and simplifications are possible on individual level but fundamentally G model is as good as it gets for an old game.

Something is fundamentally wrong with the G Limits of these two aircraft, the A6M5b is way too strong and the F6F is way too weak... not living up to its name as the "Iron Works"...
Don't know about the Zero limits, but I am absolutely sure that F6Fs didn't take airframe stress damages during instantaneous maneuvers @ 7.6Gs, and willing to bet money that the Iron Works didn't fall apart @ 11.4Gs.
Please recheck G Limits of all aircraft.

In general, most of fighter planes are using 8/12 G Limits. Small differences are possible due to weight of fuel and ammo.
Apart from global G Limits model there are individual parameters for each plane and it is possible to tweak each of them if you have RL references.
I don't have exact data for F6F but I have it for some other USA planes and current F6F G model is in a ballpark.
A6M were built with 7/12,6 Limits, I can check its current limits in game and tweak model if necessary although I don't think that this will make much difference in combat, considering high control forces which prevent hard maneuvering with Zero.
