Its just what many nations do.
Heck the GCAP or for Japan F-3 is gonna be nicknamed Reppu in a nod to the successor of the Zero its still being discussed but its a possibility.

There is a huge gap between animals / felines and predators dominating their specific environment.
The adding of the well-known nicknames to German tanks (above Pz III/IV) was actually a quite effective propaganda tool. Following these traditions after WW 2 is logical too - they are very powerful names and using them as additional marketing tools is logical.
If you compare this with naming of tanks after more or less famous generals or Roman references you might get the point.
This sounds like you have no idea how military procurement and subsequent adding of (legacy) names works and you try to use basic marketing knowledge suited to be useful opening a restaurant without actually replying to the OP.
None of your points is relevant for the question addressed in the OP - and none of them is even remotely related to military procurement processes.
I guess is because some national pride, Zero is the most famous things that Japan made and f westerner up

Considering that the Japs were running low on basic resources in 1941… yeah, I don’t think the F-16 is winning WWII.
Unless
Pretty sure that was the F-14s job
Sorry mate, I don’t think you lot are winning WWIII either. Last time Japan and Korea teamed up, they kinda lost the war.
Well, the Americans must have used the Farkours from the Kingdom of Persia. I don’t think the AIM 54s would have been too useful.
some alternate reality xD they probably won
Classic things never changes:
- Go into WT playing with “the best aircrafts in the world”
- Destryoed by Zero because game is not easy and for good results you need skills
- Doing conclusion that Japanese planes is bias and overbuffed and made not historical (only historical knowledge of this guy is wiki pages and Francillon books)

meanwhile players who are good/know how to play something has to suffer the wrath of gaijin, because some players think they are the main character
No bro, America won the war with like the best planes, so like Japan lost, so that means they should be 12.0 and nerfed to absolutely nothing!
Is that actually true? Would be really cool.
