Strange said:

Hrmm that looks like a P-43 Lancer which later devloped into the P-47 Thunderbolt

And the Re2005 is a p-47 on SlimFast...

All Italian aeronautical engineers learned their craft at the Italian Institute of Ugly Aircraft.

I'd love to see more planes from a variety of nations...most of us (myself included) have very limited knowledge of planes outside of the (US/BRITISH/GERMAN) sets. Most of us know the Zero, Yak and a few others...but I had no clue about the Ki-84, La-5/7 or 205 till I started flying various sims. Personally I think an "up engined" 205 with a better canopy (both easily accomplishable) would of been dominant point defense fighter of late 1942. (this actually almost happened...at one point reccomendation was in front of LW to adapt 205 as successor to the 109. I'm not sure if political or production issues deep sixed it. A 205 with a G10 engine would be monster as is:)

heheheheh
the 205 engine was the Daimler-Benz DB605A1 built on licence in italy
the same engine of 109 g series (without 109-G10's MW50 the H2O+metanol WEP) that mean +-1,200hp .
quite like a G2 or G6 with normal WEP...

but in few words i tell u a story
title
theITALIANS "FIVE" SERIES:
well....
In the year of war
the REGIA AEREONAUTICA to contrast the Bomber Enemy's Raids
Ordered to MACCHI, FIAT, REGGIANE to build a figther more speed, powerfull and moore armed.
Luftwaffe Engeneer came in italy to help italian engeneers to test the prototype
German was very interested about italian fighter project becouse the LW never had since then a Figther manouvrable like the allied had....
They wanna try to put in the same airplane italian attitude to produce manouvrable figther and their Damned powerfull Engines!!!
they tested and compared beetwin them all italian's 5 series
i mean
Macchi MC 205
Reggiane 2005
Fiat G-55
Those are the prototype....
at the end the Italian-German commission
said that the better is the
fiat g-55 (becouse it was manovrable like a spit +3X20mm gun)
Second the Re 2005
and only third the MC 205
... but italian's factory weren't able to produce immediately
so much new figther
as the German friends Suggest to DO....
Becouse too many Bomber raid over Milano Torino Firenze's factories and facilities ...
....also that produce a new airplane means redo all productive Factory's Chain....and under bombs is not so easy do that...
The REGIA AEREONAUTICA's choice was only one: produce the 205 becouse he use same wing, tail etc of MC 202 (already in production)
The MC 205 Win becouse is a modular 200-202-205 series ....
only few REGGIANE and FIAT Was Build Before Italian Surrender to Freedom!!!!!

happy that u like the 205 and hoping haven't boring u
best regards BJ
