Oh god its retarded.

Here is best plane. Most aces, most combat time. Sure the landing gear was bad. But the early version destroyed their contemporaries.

well then call me gay and fuck me in the ass

>>34809104
Well thats because of gook pilots. The zero was objectively better than the wildcat in every way except rigidity and durability. If it was so fantastic why were they so concerned with replacing it?

>The zero was objectively better than the wildcat in every way except rigidity and durability

high speed maneuverability, dive, high alt speed

If the zero was so good then why were the japs so concerned with replacing and upgrading it?

>>34809150
Go back to War thunder fag.

>>34809139
Are you mentally slow? You replace old shit with new shit.

>>34809158
The zero was not designed for high altitude, and dog fights did not happen at high attitude in the pacific.
The zero was good, until planes like the f6f and f4u started entering the fold, and then the leadership felt as though they needed a faster plane.

All of this is irrelevant though, as I said, because were talking about gooks.

The United States had so many advantages by 1942 onwards, that any analysis of the combat and machinery between the Japanese and Americans is laughable.

>>34809169
Yeah you upgrade planes throughout the war. Great point, I never considered that.

Here is what I actually was contending so you can not make a strawman: Why compare the 1939 a6m zero to the plane purpose built to destroy the zero in 1943? That is not an argument.

>>34809162
Cant. They killed the game even though they had something so good in the beginning.

Feels fuckin bad.

>>34809231
Yeah I stopped playing War Thunder 2 years ago. I have come the conclusion that Russians are just terrible people, full stop. Every game I have played developed by Russians has the worst customer service, and business model I have ever encountered. And their heads are so far up their asses, they cannot listen to criticism.

>>34809223
Because the Zero couldn't even manage to beat the fucking Wildcat.

>>34809144
>design carrier fighter
>can't land on carriers
What an amazing aircraft

>>34809248
Except it could, and did, when flown by competent pilots. Again gooks and all other factors I named. The gooks could have had spitfire mk v's and they would still get shit on by the American Air force at that point of the war.

>>34809249
>have 4 20mm cannons and 2 double wasps
damn straight it's an amazing aircraft

>>34809247
>so far up their asses, they cannot listen to criticism.
>based il2 series is a shell of its former self thanks to 777 taking over and their "play it our way or not at all" mentality

Oleg was half slav which may have been why il2 was so good

>>34809249
Well, to be fair it could land on carriers just fine... Midway Class carriers.
