Fiat G50???
Please no!!
pzvg, don't let HTC waste time with the Fiat G50: it was as good as useless as fighter.
Better to model the Macchi Mc200: it was used in larger number than the G50 and was an excellent fighter (think the Macchi C202 and C205 were the evolutions of that airframe).
And the Fiat Cr42 would be definitely another good choice for the Mediterranean/North Africa/Malta teather.

VeeTwin I wish I could influence what HTC makes  

I wish for all aircraftr. NOt just because I enjoy WWII era fighter aircraft but I like having a large choice of aircraft for scenarios - be they late, mid or early war period.

I'll vote fo the MC200 too!!

What G50 is a waste of time?

Think our finland friends can remember Olli Puhakka 3/LeLev.26 that used the Fiat G.50 and his score was 42 kills.

Hope to see the G50 too. :-)

The best period was ETO winter 43/44, that's the plane set I'm hoping for.

Visconti, although Puhakka flew G.50 he also got many kills with 109G-2 & 109G-6.
16 kills with 109G-2
13 kills with Fiat
 9 kills with 109G-6
 4 kills with Fokker D.XXI

Oiva Tuominen (LeLv 26, LeLv 34) got 23 kills with Fiat (more than any other (with Fiat) in Finland?).
It sure would be nice to see all those great not-so-uberplanes too.
I-16's, Fokker's, Buffalo's.....Blenheim's

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the CR.42 a biplane?  If you want an uber-biplane, check out the Polikarpov I-153.  

Oh, I can see it now,  early Chinese front scenario.  I-153, 1-16, P-36, P-40, Ki-27. A5M.  


Here's another gem for you all.  Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario.  (Armed with 3 20mm cannon, 2 12.7mm (50cal) machine guns, and up to 1390lb of bombs.)  THIS is the Italian plane that we really want.    It is even better than the c.205.

Vee-twin, My point is I'd like to see an early war arena, with the also-rans. Too many times on the boardes do I see posts wanting some end of the war Death machine that never even made to full production, I like the idea of going up against someone in a plane that was dismissed as obsolete, these planes fought in the war, many times against not only superior aircraft but very bad odds, plus, I like them, same as the folks ranting for the late war uber-death machine  
'nuff said?
