A6m6c
« on: April 17, 2014, 11:48:07 AM »
A6M6C   with thicker armored glass in the cabin's windshield (5.5 cm/2.2 in) and armor plate behind the pilot's seat. The wing skinning was further thickened in localized areas to allow for a further increase in dive speed. This version also had a modified armament fit of three 13.2 mm (.51 in) Type 3 machine guns (one in the forward fuselage, and one in each wing with a rate of fire of 800 rpm), twin 20 mm Type 99-II guns and an additional fuel tank with a capacity of 367 L (97 US gal), often replaced by a 250 kg bomb. with self-sealing wing tanks and a Nakajima Sakae 31a engine featuring water-methanol engine boost.


Please HTC.. I dont mind if it has a  Eny of 10

Sadly this is the case.  Im pretty sure the m6 never saw combat or deployment to operational units but I could be wrong.

If it at least saw combat, I believe this is sufficient according to HTC.  If I can ever find the thread where he stated this, I'd quote it. :headscratch:

I dunno..  I'm cool with more dive speed, but I think the armor and other extras would detract from the Zeke's overall performance.  Besides I like that it takes big brass balls to fly that kite...

According to this book, A6M Zero in Action, only one A6M6c Model 53c was produced.  It was considered to be a disappointment because the engine used on the A6M6c, the Sakae 31a engine, produced less power than previous models and the water-methanol boost was prone to malfunction.
