When powerful Allied aircraft such as the P-38 ''Lightning'', F6F ''Hellcat'' and F4U ''Corsair'' were fielded, the A6M - with its low powered engine - had difficulty competing. Regardless, it was developed further into variants such as the [[Type 52 Zero Fighter|A6M5 Type 0 Model 52]] and [[Type 62 Zero Fighter-bomber|A6M7 Type 0 Model 62]]. The Zero was believed to be a copy of Vought's V-143 fighter, but ultimately such claims were discredited.
