Pretty good plane, almost is like the 109, but flys better. Same guns little bit more speed though. Just wondering if HTC could model this along with all of the other fetures in the upcoming update.

I thought the Centauro was slower and less maneuverable than the Gustav 2? Either way Id like to see it...

Gustav=109G. Every series has a name... 109E=Emil, 109F=Freidrich, 109G=Gustav, and 109K=Kurfurst. The C and D were Caeser and Dora IIRC. Dont remember what the B was, but the A was Anton.

This is why they should have the Fiat G.55 Centuaro...

Type: single-seat fighter and torpedo-bomber

Powerplant: one 1100-kW (1,475-hp.) Fiat RA 1050 Tifone (Daimler-Benz BD 605A) inverted V12 liquid-cooled piston engine.

Maximum speed: 391mph

Range: 744 miles.

Service Ceiling: 41,700ft.

Armament: three 20mm Mauser MG 151/20e cannon and two fuselage-mounted Breda SAFAT 12.7-mm (.50 caliber) machine-guns, plus two 160-kg (352-lb.) bombs on underwing racks, and a 2,000lbs torpedo

The G.55 would be great for high altitude fights and for intercepting HQ raids aswell as hitting CV's. HTC please add this plane!!!

Wasn't the P-40N actually a good fighter?? I think I had seen stuff on the Military channel about it.
