The Allies commonly referred to it as the 'Zero', despite this nickname being frequently misapplied to other Japanese fighters, such as the Nakajima Ki-43, and also given various codenames and nicknames including 'Zeke', 'Hamp', and 'Hap'. When introduced at the start of World War II, the Zero was the world's best carrier-based fighter, boasting excellent maneuverability and an extremely long range. In early combat operations, the Zero earned a legendary reputation as a skilled dogfighter, achieving an impressive kill ratio of 12 to 1. However, by 1942, new tactics and better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on more equal terms. The Imperial Japanese Naval Air Service also frequently used this type as a land-based fighter. By 1943, inherent design weaknesses and the lack of powerful engines meant that the Zero became less effective against newer enemy fighters with greater firepower, armor, speed, and maneuverability. Although the Mitsubishi A6M was outdated by 1944, it never lost its place in Japanese aircraft types. During the final years of the War in the Pacific, the Zero was used in kamikaze operations.
