C2's

[Plawranc]

I have developed a new respect for C2 drivers tonight.

You can't see out, your guns bounce off, you can't turn and you stall like a female dog.

try turn the C2 after flying the Fw190a8, and you think you are in a Ki43.

Then fly the A8 after you fly the F8.  You'll think you are in a hurri.

Perhaps, but damn they look good! and in what other plane do you get a leopard skin to pimp your ride?

Looks aside, I dont know what was your experience with it, but I find it a very capable fighter even if it is not at the top of the food chain. It is a 1943 plane after all, and placed in that context it is even more impressive.

I use to like flying the 205, but now I have a hard time seeing and it just isn't as much fun flying it.

It is pretty good in its time.  Particularly the C.202, other than firepower.  C.202 is probably the second best 1941 fighter, trailing only the Bf109F-4 and leading such things as the Spitfire Mk V, P-40E, A6M2 and Hurricane Mk II.

The C.205 has stiffer competition in 1943.  The Spitfire Mk VIII is flat out superior by a large margin and the Fw190A-5 and Spitfire Mk IX are also hold significant advantages.  Even big twin engined fighters such as the P-38J and Mosquito Mk VI are at least parable with the C.205, and arguably superior.

Only the flaps are inferior to the G6, everything else is more or less the same, but with almost twice the firepower. If you arent forced to turnfight against spits and F4Us, its not half as bad.

The 205 is a pig.  You can dress it up, you can sing to it, but it's still a pig.

Now the 202, that's a real airplane.

I love the C.205. Looked at one stat at a time, its kind of mediocre. But overall, its actually a decent fighter.


It can turn some in a pinch, it can handle speed reasonably well, decent firepower, and good climb/acceleration. Biggest problem it faces is that its just a tad too slow to be competetive in MW and LW.

Personally, when I flew it, I found the C205 quite easy and fun to fly...was it 109 or spit easy? Newp.. but still not P47 or P38 hard

Well, i have tryed it, wasnt much worse than the G6 anyway. Still, its ENY 20 (if i can remember), just like the Spit9 and the Ki84... what are we talking about? Weird.

this, plus they stuck the trim indicators down at the bottom for those who fly manual trim but cant see that far. They call it a 'dog' for a reason.

I'm not very good, but I like the 205.  Fights well in the verticle and has a large clip.  Not sure about bullets bouncing off, but you have a lot.  You won't run down a 51 or a g-14, but you can run down some others.  It turns decently.  A Gucci of Death!  It is e very nice perk farmer.

[Wiley]

It has a nice set of attributes when fighting from above.  At least in my hands, it's a terrible stallfighter against anything that is even remotely turny.  Good for running down some planes, competent at middle speeds and climbs decently.  There are just so many better options.
