EAW - New A6M5 Model 52 Zero - based at Rabaul in 1944. PACIFIC TIDE 2 VERSION

The model is for the most numerous version of the A6M5. This was the Model 52 which had a shortened wing to improve speed and roll rate while eliminating the folding wingtips, combined with a more powerful engine and new cowling design. It improved top speed to 351 mph, a 20 mph increase over the A6M2. It still retained the same armament of 2 x 7.7mm cowl machine guns and 2 x 20mm wing guns, but with longer cannon barrels giving improved accuracy at longer ranges.


The 3DZ development - from my earlier A6M2 model - and skin are my work. The cockpit and wingview are by Claudio.

To use place ALL of the contents of the folders into your EAW Pacific Tide 2 folder. The model is specifically intended for the Pacific Tide 2 Campaign Zero 52 in the FW190D slot.
