Fiat G.55/l

[Butcher]

such a beautiful plane, oh how I wish for Christmas :\

[Butcher]

Bringing down the G.55 wish again, I did some research and well over 245 were built and served in quite a few squadrons for Northern Italy during WW2.

Although its not a Late war monster, it would be at the tail end of Midwar/ Early Late war.

And it might even help sate my lust for the Re.2005.

If its anything like all the other jap fighters, 1 20mm from the b29s tail gun will set that thing burning.

Get a book and try reading something for yourself before spouting something you heard about Japanese aircraft on the History Channel. Most if not all of the second generation Japanese aircraft had pilot armor and self sealing fuel tanks (albit bit not as much or as effective as there Allied counterparts)

But a nice try at baiting none the less. I mean I fell for it.

Same to you bud. Notice the date of the post, and the Persona Non Grata.

Now, now, no bickering.

One thing I'd love for the G.55 is the Serie 0 option.


The first planes had a hub 20mm gun, but 4x 12.7mm Breda SAFAT MGs, two on top of the nose and two below the nose, all synchronized.

Later models removed these lower 2 guns, due to difficulties in accessing them for servicing and reloading. Probably for lack of firepower, too. They put the cannons in the wings.

Serie 0:
4x 12.7mm
1x 20mm

Serie 1:
2x 12.7mm
3x 20mm

It would be a nice option like the 7mm wing guns on our C.202 and C.205, not the most powerful, but interesting for variety.

I haven't found any with the 7mm wing guns, but I have seen both Serie 0 and Serie 1 in combat (squadron size) It certainly would be interesting to see differences in flight performance between the two.

I think he meant it would be interesting to see both options for the G.55, simmilar to the 7mm guns in the wings of the C202 and 205.

Difference is I seen photos of both options in the G.55, I cannot show proof c202/205 had different options, then again this thread is about the G.55 which had both series in combat.
I can prove the C.205 had drop tanks in combat, although the handful of 2-3 photos have circulated the internet for years, its not exactly 100% proof, however what else can anyone go on since there is no actual proof or data, even then it was common in north africa, not afterwards.

Want to lose the 7mm option for the C202 and C.205 get your own thread for it, not the topic which says Fiat G.55, different aircraft and production model.

Butcher, you're either tired, drunk, senile, or trying to pull the same crap you did in the Panzer III thread.

I said nothing about wanting the 7mm's removed from the C.202 and C.205. I simply tried to clarify what Krusty was saying, as you seemed to be confused (you still seem to be confused), and then you proceded to hijack your own thread with meanderings about lack of proof, drop tanks, and hijacks.

You are Hijacking my wish thread with your own gibberish attempt to troll, not the place - I answered to Krusty's Post above ^.
You don't have a clue about what Krusty is talking about, or the C.202/205 rather.
