On April 1st 1939, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero made its first flight. This plane became the most widely produced Japanese aircraft during World War II. At the beginning of the war, its incredible maneuverability was unrivaled, and coupled with its powerful armament, ensured Japan achieved many aerial victories.

The A6M2 (USA) and A6M5 Ko are temporarily available for Golden Eagles!

These two fighters are available for 1,300 and 3,850 Golden Eagles respectively.

When: From March 31st (12:00 GMT) until April 4th (12:00 GMT).

Where: USA / Japan > Aviation > Premium vehicles.

The A6M2 (rank III, USA) was produced since 1940. In June 1942, one of these aircraft crash landed in Alaska, allowing the USAF to capture and inspect it. This highly maneuverable fighter is armed with two 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannons with 120 rounds in total and two 7.7 mm machine guns.

The A6M5 Ko (rank IV, Japan) was a modified variant of the aircraft carried out in late 1942. It received two 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons with 250 rounds in total. The speed and climb rate were also improved and a 250 kg bomb was added.

Captured planes usually have a higher price tag. The german Tempest MK V was 7100 GE when you could still get it at rank 4.

One of the best fighters(dogfighters even) in the game, both with premium bonuses.
What’s not to like? Anyone that enjoys turn fighting in props of those BRs/tiers/Eras should be happy to see this opportunity to pick up a couple good ones . . . quite fun . . .
(And as much as you might want to, don’t go head on with them, not what they were made for . . . pro tip) 😘

I wonder if either of these will get a marketplace skin someday… There are some darn good WT Live skins for them out there, it’s a pity we keep getting skins for recent event vehicles and top-tier stuff instead :L
