Me first:

P-51D at just over 500ft ASL, 100% fuel, .01 burn rate, 6 guns and full ammo, it would be a bit faster with less fuel. I accelerated to this speed using WEP instead of doing a quicker, but less precise deceleration test:

Karnak, thats what HTC chart shows also. That under 5K the pony will be around 370. On the other hand the speed quoted by Bosco post puts the 55 at Maximum speed: 385 mph (620 km/h) at 23,026 ft (7,000 m). the pony at that alt will be running at 425 easy, a substantial number over the top speed of the 55. The 55 on the deck wouldn't get much over 300.

Yup. I was just calling BS on his "Pony does 350" claim.

The G.55 isn't going to be outrunning Spitfire Mk VIIIs, Mk XVIs or Ki-84s, let alone P-51s.

Actually G.55's top speed is 630km/hr at 8000m and more maneuverable than P51. Fire power and climb rate also better.If you guys cared speed so much, Re.2005 could reach 678km/hr at 2000m and 7000m. G.56 is also a good choice for perk.

I think G.55 can against Ki84,Spitfire VIII or IX well because its' excellent all around maneuverability,and has good chance to fight with P51. In official history, the fastest plane shot down by G.55 is P38. Sorry for my bad English.

more information about G.55

Oh don't get me wrong, I think a G 55 would be a great addition (as well as the P39), but its not faster than a pony, nor more nimble than a spit as stated above.

I have been asking for the Fiat G55/II since I started playing the origanl Aces High. Hopefully, one day we will see it. Maybe it will make it when Combat tour comes out. LOL

Anyway, it would make a good addition, but it is in no way an uber plane, nor would it justify being perked.

Some of you people and your ridiculous tendencies, I just don't know sometimes.

Have you jst read what I posted earlier

have you looked at the mph gauge in flight at low alt.

im not a 21000 feet there sir, now I know I was off by ten mph realy 350 is a guesstimate to the indicated speed.

Never did I say the the G55 was nimbler than the spit its close but not the same, the spit could still outtur almost anything in the game.

Closer to 20mph and you claimed the P-51 topped out at 350mph while comparing that to the G.55's speed at 21,000ft. The natural assumption was to think you were comparing apples to apples and not apples to oranges.

Using your tactic I can demonstrate that almost every fighter in AH is faster than the P-51.

Bosco123 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 01, 2007, 11:55:51 AM »

I realy don't want to fight I just want to see this airplane put into the game. Agree?

Karnak · « **Reply #27 on:** November 01, 2007, 01:15:29 PM »

Actually, no. The C.205 (~250 made) and N1K2-J (412 made) were downright common in comparison.

I can think of dozens of planes that should be added before it, including other Italian aircraft.

Bosco123 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 01, 2007, 04:09:19 PM »

The G.55 was a faster aircraft and tun even better at high alt. In comparison to the 205 it has a slight chance a low alt, but no chance at high.
and 30mm's souns good to me. I have a model of the airplane and I think that it flys great. It's very stabil in the air and a little hard to land. And if you tell me that its a model, well then you are wrong, models are exact replicas to the model. The only thing that is diffrent about them is that the model is a whole lot faster to scale speed, but would make it alot squirler than the actual airplane and If I already like the way it flies then it is going to be even better at scale speed.

is this the G55?? and looks like C205
