Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Jason_Williams Posted July 26, 2023 Executive Producer Skystreak Productions Share Posted July 26, 2023 Quote DD 01 Dear Pilots, Welcome to our very first Developer Diary for Combat Pilot! We hope this will be the first of many to come as we continue to build our initial prototype and get ready to take flight. Today we want to share some images of our early work which includes the legendary Mitsubishi A6M2 Type 0 Model 21 flown by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Allies assigned it the code name Zeke, but most remember it as simply the Zero. To Japanese pilots it was known as the Rei-sen. The A6M was extremely successful in the early months of the Pacific War and was superior to its American and Allied opponents like the F4F Wildcat and F2A Buffalo. It was built in large numbers throughout the war and several different variants were produced. The A6M2 Model 21 saw action in all the important early Pacific battles such as Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea and Midway and the A6M in all it's various forms continued to see service throughout the war. The Zero has become possibly the most recognizable icon of the Pacific War. We are building a flyable A6M2 to be featured in Combat Pilot and as you can see work is progressing and its beginning to take its very famous shape. It’s a long way from completion still, but you can be assured we will keep you informed of its progress. We also plan to have a Japanese aircraft carrier ready for her to operate from when our prototype is ready. Full Developer Diary is HERE!

Docjonel Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Are you going to be doing the Pacific Theater next? Sorry! Old habit left over from the IL-2 forums! So glad to see your people getting into the actual modeling process. You have an enormous amount of work ahead of you all but it will be worth it. Thanks for the first of many updates. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IckyAtlas Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 This was the first angular stone on which all will be built upon. An historical moment. And the Zeke is indeed the symbol. Excellent start.
