| Requirements of the ''Type 9'' specification were a top speed of 350 km/h at 3,000 m with the capability of climbing to 5,000 m in 6.5 min, and the Ka-14's performance greatly surpassed all requirements, with a maximum speed of 450 km/h while being quite maneuverable. An aerodynamically revised design with conventional wings was ordered into production as the Mitsubishi ''A5M''. | | Requirements of the ''Type 9'' specification were a top speed of 350 km/h at 3,000 m with the capability of climbing to 5,000 m in 6.5 min, and the Ka-14's performance greatly surpassed all requirements, with a maximum speed of 450 km/h while being quite maneuverable.

− | It was introduced in 1936 and entered service in early 1937 as the A5M1 armed with twin 7.7 mm machine guns, soon facing combat at the start of the second Sino-Japanese war. Contempoary opponents such as the Boeing P-26C ("Peashooters") and the Curtiss Hawk Ⅲ, were poorly matched against the A5M, which proved effective and resistant to damage. A5Ms also served as escorts for the Mitsubishi G3M bombers. | + | It was introduced in 1936 and entered service in early 1937 as the A5M1 armed with twin 7.7 mm machine guns, soon facing combat at the start of the second Sino-Japanese war.

− | Mitsubishi's development team continued to improve the A5M up to the final A5M4, with improvements such as a more powerful engine, additional drop-fuel-tank, and closed cockpits. Altogether 1,083 A5Ms were manufactured by Mitsubishi, Watanabe, and Naval Ohmura Arsenal, including 103 two-seat trainers. | + | Mitsubishi's development team continued to improve the A5M up to the final A5M4, with improvements such as a more powerful engine, additional drop fuel tank, and closed cockpits.

| The A5M series continued in service after 1941, but had been replaced by the A6M as the standard fighter of first-line carriers. The last battle of the A5Ms as fighters was the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. As World War II came to a close, most remaining A5Ms were repurposed as kamikaze aircraft. | | The A5M series continued in service after 1941, but had been replaced by the A6M as the standard fighter of first-line carriers.
