For the staff of AH

[JEK]

                                 Hello I am I DRAGO of 1°gr.caccia the ASSO di BASTONI I wanted to propose to your attention this
                                 Italian airplane REGGIANE RE2005 Of this airplane ne are you are made little exemplary but he
                                 has given many victories like hunter of bombers and is an optimal hunting from combat, has
                                 nearly caught up the velocita one of the sound to approximately 989Km hour in dive and
                                 sopportava 12G. I am in possession of all the data of this airplane also of the nomenclatore
                                 handbook of factory construction ORRIGINALE, in how much I I live in the citta where it has
                                 been constructed. Other since I can say and that the allies to the end of the war have
                                 considered this airplane RE2005 the beautifulst airplane of the AXIS. If the thing and of your
                                 interest is to disposition for other information of airplane RE2005. Our group ACE of STICKS
                                 would want to see in the AH game if it is possible? A cordial salute to all you of the staff of AH
                                 for the beautiful game of AcesHigh I DRAGO

Drago until 1st S.C. moves to Knightland you all will be banned of use of any italian plane, as the real "Axis" side are us.

 

hehehehe

OTOH...If you tell me that the pic is from a C205 I would believe you. They are damned identical!!!  

[JEK]

Hello Ram hehe the pic it is not of the MC205 but of the RE2005 and is much various one it watches well and it confronts. in one what you have reason mount the same motor hello I DRAGO

[JEK]

hello RAM these is the differences watches well hello DRAGO
 

[juzz]

Apart from mounting the same engine, is there any other reason why the Fiat G.55, Macchi MC.205V and Caproni-Reggiane Re.2005 do look so similar?

Drago,

Thats a beautiful plane.  I for one would love to see it modeled.  Take a few minutes and email HT about having all the data on the aircraft, he may be interested in what you have.

Hi JEK,
The Italian planes were surely beautiful.

They are my favorite WWII planes from an appearance perspective, you guys know how to make deadly look good.



------------------
When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

[juzz]

Ah - I see the wings are very different.

The G.55 has a wing planform similar to the P-51D, with extensions at the leading edge roots.

The MC.205V - just look at the one in AH. Tapered with rounded wingtips. One wing is longer than the other.

The Re.2005 has a semi-elliptical wing with a slightly swept leading edge; kind of like the P-47, and to a lesser extent the Spitfire.

[Kieren]

And of the three, the G55 was the best interceptor, being both the fastest at alt and having 3x20mm cannon and 2x50cal. I would vote for the G55 (in fact I did on Target's survey!).  

The Re2005 certainly was pretty, but its pilots were a bit afraid of the tail popping off...  

[Thunder]

I think it would be a good addition to the stable if the performance variation  complemented the 202 & 205. It looks like it may be very manuverable? Does anyone have any performance data to publish?
BTW I can hardly wait for the P-51Q maybe I can run even faster...

Kieren   ,

I think you are right. Luftwaffe test pilots were of the same opinion when they combat tested all Series 5 fighters (february 1943).
With good max speed, maneuverability and heavy armament, the G.55 was a good 1943-44 high alt interceptor, much better than the C.205V at 20K+.

Anyway PYRO has the original flight manual of the G.55 and beautiful references. Who knows?
