The C-205...Under-rated?
« on: December 31, 2008, 03:57:14 PM »
I fly it like its a P-38 that turns a bit better. It climbs very well, holds a dive fairly well, turns good enough, and the guns on it are great.

I think maybe I'll start spending more time in one. Comments? Tips? From the dedicated 205 lovers??

The C.205 has similar performance to the Bf.109G-6, although it doesn't turn or climb quite as well. It may be a bit closer to the Bf.109G-2 with gondolas. So, it's about on par with other aircraft from it's time period. It's a fun aircraft for sure (as is the C.202).

I, myself, prefer the armament, performance, and canopy framing of a 109, but this is not far removed from one- IMO it's an 'Italian 109', just as the Ki61 is a 'Japanese 109'. Hell I like anything with a Daimler Benz DB60x. :)

I can't wait for it to be updated...

The 205 is a pig.

Now the 202.  There is an airplane.

I don't like the .205
forward view isn't that great and it's realll unstable. The .202 is an amazing plane however

If it turns better than a 38, the 38 is doing something wrong.

1.) Ki-67 is a bomber

2.) ok....Ki-84 is NOT under rated by any means

Oh, I your sig was referencing  my Italian G6 skins. :lol


The Ki84... is a Japanese Spitfire.


By the way, the Ki61, C.202, and the Bf.109E/F all use the DB601 engine (or a else a copy of it), thus why they look and perform so similarly. The DB60x engines produce very distinctive (and sexy) lines in the aircraft that use them.
