bump from way back.

Holy necro-bump!!!

I'm not sure why there's a rule against this - only that it causes widespread angst when I do the same thing.

I thought it was a joke because I made an original G.55 post few years back that I bumped, and this one was bumped shortly after.

Pretty humorous way to keep the g55 in the limelight.

Iway to keep the g55 in the limelight.

Which is necessary due to its non-existent record during the actual war.

I was going to post a wish for the G55 and to a lesser extent the Re.2005 but I did a search and there was already a wish in the box.

SO G55 US ALREADY!  :furious

Holy necro-bump... And, yes, we need about six or eight g.55s to participate in the next late med scenario, that and some 88's carrying Henschel missiles.

The Fiat G 55 is a great plane.I believe that the La 7 was made in only a few numbers and yet we have it. We have four P-40's and there's hardly a difference in them (I said hardly a difference).From what I've read, the G-55 was a better plane than the C205. At any rate, we could use another Italian fighter.

Something like 7,000 La-7s were made, though only two or three hundred had the three cannons.

The rare, low use birds we have in AH are the Ar234B, Me163B and Ta152H-1.  The Brewster was low production, but used heavily.

The G 55 would be a very competitive fighter. I believe the 205 is highly under-rated and might be one of the better perk farmers in the game. So would be the G 55.

Necro-Bump.

Seriously one of my favorite planes. And I honestly believe that this plane could be "the new A6M/C2". Granted, not many were made, and the records are low, but shoot, variety is key to this game. And having another Italian fighter would be nice. Would add variety to FSO.
