Unless for some reason, they added a Pacific theater map, with an American Wildcat or something, then no the Zero shouldn't be in BoP. It would look out of place with the European setting. Though they could add an American Wildcat, and have you flying off the USS Ranger in North Africa or something like that.

Also@: Goalie- Japanese planes aren't so bad, it's just that most of the Zeros, Oscars, and other Japanese planes had their fuel takes close to the fuselage in the wings; and with the lack of self sealing tanks (which added some weight) and lack of armor (which would have made the Japanese planes TERRIBLE to fly) they easy burst into flames. But if you haven't read SAMURAI by Saburo Sakai (read it like 5 times, great account too.) then you'll see that Japanese planes aren't so bad when handled and known well by their pilot etc.

In 1946, I used to fly the Zero from time to time on the Chinese and Pacific Maps, and did well against those flying Wildcats, Hellcats, and other planes that outgunned me. And if Japanese planes are copies of American planes, then I'd say the Japanese got it right because they are some of the best well known handling, maneuverable, fast, and all around agile planes in WW2.
