The Japanese A6M2-N floatplane version of the Zero did fairly well, suffering only a smal loss in its legendary maneuverability. Top speed was somewhat affected, however, and the aircraft's relatively light armament was a detriment. This aircraft was operated by the Japanese "R" Area Air Force during the Guadalcanal campaign.
