Zigrat,
A6M2 is the Zero.

You're thinking of the B5N2 "Kate" and the B6N2 Tenzan "Jill" which was on my list.

The B5N2 would be useless in the current plane set.  Once the mid-late war set is finished, things like the B5N should be added.

My choice would be the H8K2 "Emily".

Zigrat,
The A6M2 is different than the A6M5 in the exact same way that a Spitfire MkI is different than a Spitfire MkIX, they're just different versions of the Zero.

A = Carrier based fighter.
6 = Sixth carrier based fighter.
M = Mitsubishi was the designer.
2 = Second major version of the fighter.

A = Carrier based fighter.
6 = Sixth carrier based fighter.
M = Mitsubishi was the designer.
5 = Fifth major version of the fighter.
b = Third minor version of the fifth major version of the fighter.
