– A6M2, A6M2 mod. 11: These planes benefit from MEC over AEC with better radiator management and Infi-WEP. These planes do not gain additional cooling from high speed, they actually get slightly warmer at high-speed including dives.Time wear: (-0/-1°C) / 10min and then (-0/-18°C) @ 16min for a total of (-0/-19°C) @ 16min. Fuel: 30min. Engine hp drop: 3900m.
*Engine off with (30sec) in white, then back on, usually resolves (Per color) overheat wear.
*Yellow overheat = (1:30min)
*Orange overheat = (3min).
*MEC chart settings allow Infi-WEP.
*Prop97 keeps engine much cooler, allows for Infi-WEP and has same performance as Prop100 under 3900m. Prop97 can be used to 3900m Then Prop100 should be used.

– Ki-100-II: This plane benefits from MEC over AEC with better radiator management. The radiator on this plane stays completely closed with WEP which is why it is the same value as 0Rad. MEC settings allow for Infi-WEP. This plane does not gain additional cooling from high speed, airspeed makes little to no difference in cooling. Engine gets slightly warmer at higher speeds. Time wear: None / 16min. Fuel: 30min. Engine hp drop:7600m.
*MEC chart settings allow Infi-WEP
*Prop94 can be used for extra speed (+2/+2kph) up to 7600m with same climb rate as Prop100. Prop94 can be used to 7600m Then Prop100 should be used .

– J2M4 Kai: Refer to J2M2, J2M3, J2M4 Kai, J2M5 section earlier in guide.
