After the delivery of the 65th aircraft, a further change was worked into the production lines, which introduced folding wingtips to allow them to fit on aircraft carriers. The resulting Model 21 would become one of the most produced versions early in the war. A feature was the improved range with 520 l (140 US gal) wing tank and 320 l (85 US gal) drop tank. When the lines switched to updated models, 740 Model 21s had been completed by Mitsubishi, and another 800 by Nakajima. Two other versions of the Model 21 were built in small numbers, the Nakajima-built A6M2-N "Rufe" floatplane (based on the Model 11 with a slightly modified tail), and the A6M2-K two-seat trainer of which a total of 508 were built by Hitachi and the Sasebo Naval Air Arsenal.

    Look at this and just be happy that I at least tampered with something after being gone for... 1 month?

    Doesn’t matter, practically nothing changed, then you didn’t give credit and presented it as your own @ThatKindaWeeb

    @Mage2IsTriggered well, Mitsubishi has a branch called Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the brach is responsible for the creation of the Zero

    What did you change and what does that RX-7 or Mitsubish Starion or whatever that car is have to do with this?

    @HellouUnt well yea, but I initially wanted to stop or 'prevent' the plane from gaining so much energy in a dive and keeping it for so long I ended up changing the speed that it turns and pitches.
