Their are some other people here that are much better at flying the Zeke then I'm...but that said, here are a few things I have picked up along the way:

The zeke is better at medium & low elevation. The zeke performs better at medium to low velocity (speed). The zeke is a great turning aerocraft, however in an early war scenario is might have a speed advantage over some aerocraft...so you can use a hit & run tactic. That said, ALWAYS turn into an attacking aerocraft-never run. The A6M was designed with offensive tactics in mind so always attack. Attack, attack, attack... As far as the engine settings go: I set prop pitch at 90 & radiator at 6. You "can" leave it their all day...

I assume that you have read "ND's aircraft reference guide"

Thanks man. If thats the guide that comes with IL-2 1946, i've read it. I don't think it says anything about prop pitch and such though. Or optimum Rpm.

I'm just fine as far as tactics and what its capable of.

I really just want to see how far i can push it in terms of performance.

I know optimum speed for combat is around 350kph. But i also know from reading real life combat reports that i should be able to have less trouble keeping up with P-39's than i'm used to, for instance.
