The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" is a long-range fighter aircraft manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter, or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the "Reisen" (zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was "Zeke", although the use of the name "Zero" was later adopted by the Allies as well.

In this SP version though, the plane isn't really that fast, only achieving 300+kmh at most at level flight at low altitude, but it can turn relatively similar to the actual thing, but it will bleed out the speed quickly, however it can regain it as quick as it loses it, the plane is technically armed with 4 machine guns but they had the properties of the actual armament of the aircraft, the guns on the engine cowling had 600 RPM fire rate and the ones on the wings had 520 RPM, they also had their respective accurate muzzle velocity, also the landing is easier on this one, maintain a speed of 166-171km/h on final approach, the plane would began to stall at 130km/h so it's best to not let the plane fall beyond 146km/h to be safe, upon landing avoid braking fully as soon as you touch the ground, but rather brake it around halfway and let the tail touch the ground, after that apply 70% brake, if the tail lifts off from the ground take the brake off to avoid flipping over, after around 15-10km/h it is safe to fully brake.

Also, it had an arresting hook as the plane was intended to operate from carriers, but I haven't tried landing it on either the Tiny not the Beast yet, so good luck if you want to do so (be wary while landing on the Tiny though, I don't think the runway has enough distance to cover the plane's minimum braking distance)
