At their peak, the ANR had about 150 G.55s in service. I'm fairly sure that just over 300 were delivered, with some destroyed at the factory in bombing and as many as 35 being built when the factory was captured.

My regards,

Widewing

Thanks for the info Widewing.

Seems it was more common than the C.205 then.

Weren't P39s owned by real fighters and, as a result, were relegated to mainly ground attack roles? And explain to me how a buffalo wouldn't be as big a flying sacrificial target as an F4F or the early P40? There are already plenty of pig rides (of which the P39 would be one). And bombers?? Flying bombers is like watching paint dry. We have pleny of bombers to go around. Any added bombers would be just making more interesting targets for the interceptors. From what I understand, Some of the late Jap planes were real monsters. So, as far as this vote is concerned I'd have to say G55, and one of the late jap planes, KI-44 or 43. 100 would be neat too.

That said, I'd still like to see the little Poli I-16 as an emotional favorite.

Don't look at me! I didn't put him up to it!

I say why make us decide? Add them all!

Krusty · « **Reply #336 on:** March 23, 2007, 09:38:57 PM »

Yeah... sure! Add them all!

But... uh.. which one first?

Personally,I think we need another good strike-bomber.
So I`m going for the B-25 and P-39.
We already have a lot of Attack Planes that are japanese and have horrible payloads.
If anybody out there bombs as much as I do they will probably also say the same.

Thanks,
Cory (Jr.falcon23)

Love to see a PBY Catalina......For dropping mines......A troop transport for taking bases....but most for picking up down pilots with a incentive so the down pilot doesn't lose perks or soemthing else?

Best new plane might be a Sub!........or simple add more spawn points for gv's pt's and lets have multiple flat tops in a task force not just one!

What would really be a hoot is a replay of the Dolittle raids on Tokyo. I suppose for that we'd need 25s.

What about a Gloster Gladiator?

The Finn's used that too

Bi-plane would be cool. Btw Swedish volunteers used Gladiator. Finally a real plane for Wilbuz!

I-15 would be also a good choice.
