best plane

[mondo]

The A6M was a good plane. It was probably the best thing in the pacific until 1943. The F4F wasn't bad either, just the tactics employed when using them was bad. The USN then listened to Chenault on tactics that works on a slower but superior turning aircraft.

true but the A6M's slow roll cut away half its advantage plus if it did a vertical dive the wings were at risk of coming off

bigger picture really- the zeros major plus point was its big range for such a small plane (in it's day)- that and the japs stripped it bare to save weight-including safety features- good for maneouvres-bad for keeping your good pilots alive...
