NEW FIGHTERS WANTED

[alpini13]

 GREETINGS  just a new topic on what we want for new fighters in the game.i personally would like to see the RE 2005 and the G 55 fiat. Both of these planes would be an improvement to the current Italian fighters with the RE 2005 being better than a BF 109 G14...better?   how?  well... the RE 2005 has more range,turns better,dives better and climbs about the same...but has two gun packages 5 20mm cannon...or 3 20mm cannon and 2 13mm machine guns and its faster too...it can carry three drop tanks or three bombs or a combination.  any suggestions as to what other fighters we should have??

You should post this in the "wish list" forum. The G55 has been asked for many times, do a search there. Also, when posting a wish like this, post some links to info, and why you think it might be a good addition. oh, and just because it has a bunch of big cannons really isn't going to be counted as a good reason

Faster with cannons?

I think those are good reasons.

I'll take two please.

I'd like to see them too, but the best chances are for the G.55.

Indeed

with the RE 2005 being better than a BF 109 G14...better?   how?

Now this is rahter vague and depends very much on what feats you are looking for.

well... the RE 2005 has more range

Yes it has.

turns better

could be, but i'm not 100% positive.

dives better

same as above.

climbs about the same

I'm pretty sure a G14 will outclimb the Re.2005

but has two gun packages 5 20mm cannon...or 3 20mm cannon and 2 13mm machine guns

I'm pretty sure the 5 20mms were considered at a later point in the production run, but actually never installed.

and its faster too

most likely not.

it can carry three drop tanks or three bombs or a combination.

Not sure about this one...any sources?

Forgive me for this, but I believe that this thread has opened my eyes.

The Re. 2005 could be the Late war monster for the Italians!

Bring it on!
