nice video as usual !! I thought A6M5 HEI is a really terrible plane before I watched this video. It maybe becomes a semi-dogfight semi-energy fighter? Moreover, hope you can cover some twin-engine heavy fighter such as KI-83 they are sooo underrated!
4:45 nice work on that P-47, very detailed. This Zero is way too slow for its BR, it faces speed demons, while being only able to go 420 kph in a straight line (the 540 kph top speed is a lie, its impossible unless we're in a dive)
Battle ratings aside, it's performance is (mostly) historically accurate. The additional weapons, armor and equipment increased the plane's weight by over 700 lbs. With no increase in engine power over earlier A6M5 variants, it was typically reserved for intercepting bombers and "special attack" missions.
@@JamesPolymer true. This Zero was used right up to 1945, severely outclassed by everything it faced. Just as it is in-game, which is a bit unfair if we see the treatment of early Zeroes (that should've been up against tier 2 opponents historically) being put in tier 3. Zero players are always put in a disadvantage in this game.
@@reggiekoestoer1511 Damn right they are. I remember back when the A6M3 Mod. 22 Ko received a 0.7 BR increase just because it had slightly (emphasis on _slightly_ ) better guns than the other A6M3s. O_o
Love the explanations/logic behind what you do. Awesome video.

Your channel gonna blow up soon. Really enjoyable content
Nice content maybe next up a late 109? 🤔
Agreed. I’d prefer a g-10.
Cool video! love the gameplay and explanations!
Miss the days when most of the A6M5s were 4.7

What's with the high speed? you could have gotten higher if you climbed slower.
The A6M5 Hei takes so long to reach the battle at best climb speed that getting more than one kill without rushing in is rare.
@@Renta352 thx, that's something to remember when I get my hands on zeros.
