In my first pbem I went 2,5c,8 with Sam on the way.
I prioritised armour and firepower over range as drop tanks give the escorts the range they need.
If it’s PDU Off, the A6M8!
Currently playing my first PBEM, no house rules Scenario 1 as IJ.

I'm on Scenario 28, which is Scenario 1 except Refineries do not produce supply. As such, in #28 supply preservation is a high priority. Toward that end, I am probably going with A6M5 and stop, with a large research effort on the A7M for late war.

Getting the A6M5 is cheap; 4 factories, and that's also all I'll need for production.

Researching the A6M8 I think requires more factories than that.
