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 so i respect what your saying about wanting it. We all have our own choices.

Cool! I have that album. Good Stuff. I'm also a HUGE Jellyfish fan. Saw them 3 times in concert before they broke-up...
