The Re2005 and G.55 are both pretty and capable machines, and would be quite suitable to the MA environment.  However that is all that they would be suitable for.  I can think of few aircraft less useful from a historical scenario point of view than those two.

The C.205 was produced in much larger quantites than either the Re2005 or G.55, and yet the C.205 still has little more than half the production numbers of the N1K2-J, which is much maligned due to it's low production numbers.

From the perspective of scenarios the Italian aircraft we need are things like the C.200, Re2000, Re2002, CR.42, S.M.79-II, and Cant Z.1007.  However all of those have practically no purpose in the MA and would see little usage.

All of this is complicated by what performance data HTC has available for all of these aircraft.  This is something we can only guess at.

Good points Karnak .  HTC should decide to add Italian planes by the way they see fit for AHII.  If AHII starts out early war, then they would probably want to add the MC.200, G.50, or CR.42 first.  Late war, vice versa.

I think there are official data available both for CR42 and for S.M .79
I really hope to see those two aircraft in AH. Mediterranean scenarios, like Malta defence etc, would be great!
And we need gladiators too, of course!
