add to that list: Macross Zero
It stands for their percent chance at winning WWII
Technically true, I don’t see my Viper Zero winning WWII anytime soon

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.
currently it’s still the F-3 from my knowledge
Depends on the period and whose calling it.
In WW2 Allied soldiers and airmen often called(or misidentified ) every Japanese plane a “zero” sort of how in the ETO they called every german tank a “tiger”.
IN modern times its part PR and part fandom from militaria fans
This also happened when the war just began

Having F-16 during WWII definitely won’t help Japan win the war, the problems they face is not about the air superiority but the leadership of the military and government. The leadership they have is just a bunch of idiot and retarded with some genius, and the good news (or bad news to the Imperial Japan) is the one who got the power the stupid and retarded ones. So having some “Wonder weapon” won’t really help them turn the tide.
I strongly recommend to do some research before you continue with this imho flat out wrong narrative.
The 1940 US oil embargo forced JP to decide between a slow death due to running out of oil or an “all-in” attempt by trying to get a negotiated peace after crippling the US Pacific fleet. The main reason for JPs campaigns (beside some imperialist goals) was to conquer alternative oil resources.
U don’t have to trust me - just check out some data about oil producing countries, market shares and strategig goals of JPs military.
They were fully aware that the US economy is able to outproduce them by a substantial margin. And hardware becomes irrelevant if you have no fuel/oil to use it.
In no alternate reality there was a chance to win a prolonged war - that is the main reason why some guys appreciated the war and did not prevent it - it was a gigantic boost for the US economy.

I thought they named equipment after the Imperial year - so the D3A “Type 99” was named after Year 2599 (1939), and the Zero came about in year 2600 (1940) - so “00” = Zero, not a sequential number after 99.
