Seems like most of this match was a dog fight with that Model 81A-1. Also if you play World of Warplanes, just FYI, the new Japanese line of aircraft is set to come out this week, as well as a new game mode. The A6M2 was actually the first production model, as the A6M1 were prototypes for testing. The design was ordered by the Japanese Navy as a replacement for their carrier based A5M. Unlike previous navy planes, the Zero featured a closed cockpit and retractable landing gears making it more aerodynamic, helping it's speed and maneuverability. To make the aircraft as light as possible, no armor was used for the Pilot or critical components. This made the aircraft fast but vulnerable. Another weight saving technique was to creation of a new experimental alloy called Extra Super Duralumin, which was lighter and stronger then standard aluminium alloy. This new metal was coated in an anti-corrosive coating post manufacturing. The popular "Zero" name comes from pilots giving it this unofficial name. According to the Japanese the A6M and it's variants was officially referred to as "Type 0". Because of this, some Japanese came to call the aircraft Rei-sen or Zero-sen, loosely translating into "Fighter Zero". The allied naming convention gave the aircraft the official designation of "Zeke", although too many Americans would come to know the aircraft simply as "Zero".
