Country:  | Also I would like you to explain how the Zero was better than the P-38, P-51, Fw-190A, Fw-190D, Spitfire, Typhoon and P-47s.

As it was stated, Zeros DID rule for a short period. BTW some of us have spent more time on the toilet then you been born so we know a little more than you. Listen to Les, don't triple post and read some of the data you might lean something...

Liking something the best and being the best are 2 different things. My favorite is the Bf-109G but you will never see me kidding myself saying that it was the best fighter of WW2.

However, it was slow straight and level, and could be outdove by almost anything else in the air. Later models, like the A6M5 attempted to rectify this, and sharply diminished her greatest attitribute - maneuverability.
Most influential Japanese fighter - yes, I'll give you that.
Best Japanese fighter, no way. There were several very capable designs that took to the sky, but Japanese industry wasn't able to meet the task. The Ki-84, mentioned by Gnomey, was a much more capable design.

Country:  | Hi guys, just a quick comment in favour of Okha. He is a young member and as such he has not had the time to research every single WW2 aircraft make and model as you have.
Please cut Okha a little slack and try to encourage the younger members of the site so that they can give a valued contribution to WW2aircraft forums.
I would say that the "Zeke" was a very capable aircraft in the PTO but it did not have the publicity of the "Zero" and as such could be in the running for the sixth or seventh place for best aircraft of WW2. | |

With that said - Zeke - Zero? The Zeke was an A6M5, the last model of the A6M (Type O model 52 to be exact) - It's was the same aircraft! Oh and by the way, still shot down in numerous quantities...
