Dear RAM, you are absolutely wrong.

MC 205V is a early 1943 plane, like spitIX and 190A5, not a 1945 monster.

Maybe the Fiat G.55 will be a better choise to represent the top, or the Re.2005, but they are still 1943 planes !!!

But if you want to play in MA with quake BFG9000 armed US Irons, ask for it.
It's you right, the same right others have to ask more balancing planes.

Or maybe is time to talk about the Me-262?

Bring it here and we luftlobby whiners will fight our fight in the boring quakeMA.

But you can imagine the WHINE the UScustomers will start??  

Go on with your HOs    

(oh my, the Reinfield virus has infected me, help!!)

Regarding fighters you have ALL the fighters that italians used from mid-1942 onwards.

Hmmm, C.205 and Me 109G/K is all the Italians used from '42 on? You missed the Spitfire Mk V, which is also here. And missed by both you and from AH are:

G.55
Re.2005
P-39N/Q
D.520

Naso...they are 1943 planes? really?...

so?. It was one of the last italian fighters designed. Was one of the last designs that saw combat. Was the ultimate ITALIAN DESIGNED combat fighter of WWII.

I wont lose time answering to the rest of that post. It isnt worth it.

Only G.55 and Re 2005. I was talking about the Germany allied italian side, not the italian pro-allied side.

And C205 is better than 2005, and more than a match for G55.

Thing is, we will lack D12 too. We wont have D13 neither, we will have 190D9 and that is enough for us LW pilots. So Italians have C205, and will get G55 (I'm sure of it).

And I dont mind that C205 was a 1943 design. Was the ultimate ,one of (If not THE) best planes designed in italy during WWII. And here it is.

For the italian guys here: sorry if I sound harsh, but it is clear that you have a plane that is a really wonder to fly, the C205, and that can match the best of the best in AH. IF you had to fly all day in 190A5 and/or 190A8, you'd think quite different.

RAM,
read my post again, slowly. I didnt ask for ANY italian fighter or bomber. I'm fully aware that we italian are lucky to have 1941-45 covered with the C.202 and C.205, and that the C.205 is a good mid-late war example of italian industry.

I simply stated that this late-late war rush (IMHO) simply feeds the Main Arena guys and wont allow for balanced scenarios.

Look, I've been flying Warbirds for three years, attending all scenarios where Luftwaffe was involved. I can assure you that you'll be cannon fodder in almost all 1944-45 scenarios.

I say it again: I'm happy for you Main Arena and "what-if" scenarios guys. What else can I say for people crying for TA-152 and P-47M? And you complain about C-Hogs. C'mon RAM! If you ask for D-12 or TA-152 you deserve not only C-hogs but even cannon armed F4-U4.  

1941-43 is the best phase of the war, the most balanced, the most interesting, both for the arena and the scenarios. But, again its only my opinion. No offence for anyone.

Definitively must be the R. disease, i am quarrelling with RAM !!  

LOL  

Take it easy RAM, i was joking.

RAM, i usually fly everythink in the planeset, and i agree with you: the 190s suck.

Look at my vote in pyro's poll.

But i am still worried of this rush for the uber ride.

At the end of the war the Germans were pushing the limit, while allied were producing better and better planes (and in BIG numbers, too!!), the result we will have in MA will be Me-262s (i love it!!), and all the quasi jet last US fighters.

Fun for USiron lover, and me262 lover (like me  ), boring for the others.

But, such is life.
