| This page is about the Japanese fighter A6M6c. For other versions, see A6M (Family). |
Contents
Description
The A6M6c is a premium gift rank IV Japanese fighter with a battle rating of 5.0 (AB/RB) and 4.7 (SB). It was introduced during Update "Red Skies" as a reward for Battle Pass: Season IV, "Fearless Voltigeur".
General info
Flight performance
With the new Sakae 31a engine, the A6M6c has a water-methanol injection that makes the WEP slightly stronger than previous models, and doesn't overheat the engine as much in trade-off with having only limited WEP.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The A6M6c is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons, wing-mounted (125 rpg = 250 total)
- 1 x 13.2 mm Type 3 machine gun, nose-mounted (230 rpg)
- 2 x 13.2 mm Type 3 machine guns, wing-mounted (240 rpg = 480 total)
Suspended armament
The A6M6c can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 60 kg Navy Type 97 Number 6 bombs (120 kg total)
- 1 x 250 kg Navy Type Number 25 Model 2 bomb (250 kg total)
- 10 x Type 3 No.1 Mod.28 Mk.1 rockets
- 2 x Type 3 No.6 Mod.27 Mk.1 rockets
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft 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).

The Zero's manual engine controls are simple to learn. The propeller pitch should be kept at 95% at all times. The radiators both should be kept between 5 and 15% depending if you are on a hot or cold map. The second supercharger gear should be activated at 3,500 m and above.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Powerful armament with good ammo count, the 13 mm MGs are effective
- Retains some of the famous manoeuvrability of the A6M series, still a capable dogfighter
- Has some armour, combined with better guns it makes the plane capable for bomber hunting
- Can carry effective rockets
- Stronger WEP than earlier Zeros
Cons:
- Worse turning than other A6Ms
- Still vulnerable to incendiary rounds
- Very slow top speed
- Not performant at high altitude
- Limited WEP mode
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
