Survivability and armour

The suitability of the A6M3 mod.22ko is not high. Since it is a zero one bullet is enough to set you on fire but if your lucky you might fly away with a few holes and the only time this plane really shines is when your in a dog fight or managed to sneak up on somebody

Armaments

Offensive armament

With this plane you get two 7.7mm type 97 guns and two 20mm type 99 model 2 cannons. Although the 20mm can go quick if you use the wrong rounds. Stealth would be the best option for both weapons.

Suspended armament

The only suspended armament you get with this plane is two 60 kg bombs with a explosive mass of 23 kg and a penetration of 78mm.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
