one of the less know WWII Italian fighters and one of fastest. I think this machine should be include in AH roster.
The only serious disadvantage it could not exceed 800 km/h in a dive. Other than that an excellent fighter.

How effective were they with only 48 being built? :rofl
Another source says only 37 were built.
-
Flown this plane in another sim, it is very good from what that sim modeled it as. Would be a contender in the LW definitely (again, if that sim had it right)
-
800kmh in a dive isn't at all sloppy!
+1
-
+1 for the Italian spixteen
-
It is a good aircraft, yes, but does it have the numbers to be considered? Mechanic's post about it being in another sim makes me wonder..... Hell, I don't see why not, the Italians need some fighters :banana:
-

What does effectiveness have to do with the numbers built? Finnish Brewsters were built in similar numbers, and proved to be quite effective in finnish service.
The low production numbers are simply due to the fact that for Italy the war ended before more could be rolled out.
-

Another source says only 37 were built.
And, how many Ta 152Hs were built? Iirc, there is only 43 known WNr of completed Ta 152H-0s and Ta 152H-1s.
How effective were the Ta 152Hs?
-
Okay, I got the point a while ago. I didn't think before posting. I get it now. Thanks.

Isn't there one of the 110's even rarer than the 152's?
In that the engines modelled may have been ultra rare?
Just seem to recall a thread many moons ago on them.
-
I brought up production numbers because there was a thread somewhere about a bunch of different fighters, some of which were produced in like the low hundreds and people complained they didn't have any flying time to prove themselves. I dunno. I'd like to add the fighter, we could always use another Italian plane. I had to think about it though, doing a lot of work lately. Late nights aren't an excuse for being stupid. :D
-
Fiat G.55 would do the trick!
-
Also, how many 47M's were produced? Not many IIRC
-
Difference being that the P-47M required no 3D model changes. The Ta152H could be largely based on the Fw190D-9 model. The Re2005 would require its own unique model. Also, does the performance data exist?
All of that is up to HTC.
-
Hm. It's like the D-9 of the C.2 family.

Hm. It's like the D-9 of the C.2 family.
It is 100% unrelated to the C.2 family.

This I know, I am not a complete idiot, thank you very much.
I was simply comparing its longer sleeker lines to those of the very similar family of airframes.

Kev,I think your refering to the Bf110C 4b,it's equipped with high alt engines,IDRC the exact model of hand.
It appears it was a rather low production unit but I'd have to look up the exact number produced.
:salute
-
It looks like a nice addition, but was it flown enough to make the requirements for HTC. I would be in favor of bringing this plane so it gets my vote +1

133 according to one source.

The rest of the world (meaning not America) is smart enough to have the metric system as the standard. Metric is much easier, you count by tens and a Millimeter is more precise than an inch. Just some food for thought.

If at least they used knots which is in nautical miles then it would make some sense. A nautical mile is 1 arc minute on the circumference of the earth. Makes it a bit easier to convert from coordinates to actual distance on a sphere.

Exactly. The old English system of measurement... 4 gills= 1 pint, 2 pints= 1 quart, 4 quarts= gallon, 31.5 gallons= barrel. 12 inches= foot, 3 feet= yard. 5,280 ft= a mile. WTF!?
In metric, 10mm is equal to one cm. one gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. You count by tens and it can't get much simpler. I hope the change is made in my lifetime. :rolleyes:
...and now back to the topic.

Oh yes, obviously convenience and homogenization are the only worthwhile goals in life. Why, I positively look FORWARD to the day when everyone from Greenland to Chile, from Kamchakta to Ireland, from Albania to Zambia, is not only measuring with the same oh-so-convenient decimal "math for dummies" increments, but also drinking the same Coca-Cola, eating the same McDonalds/PizzaHut/Taco Bell takeout, and watching "American Idol" on their tvs while wearing virtually identical shorts, T-shirts, and ballcaps...what a WONDERFUL world it will be with no inconvenient differences between us.
Feet, Bushels, Rods, Fathoms, Shaku, Bu, Cubits, Forgengs, Dessiatines and etc. forever!!!!

The 47M and the C-Hog are awesome and great additions to the game but with airframes built easily measured in dozens the purist in me cries out for the Yak-3, P-40N, Beaufighter and the Pe-2! These aircraft were much more likely to be seen in the skies of WWII. :salute

The United States is too large of a country and economy to easily change to the metric system due to existing contract law, property law and monitairy unit value. Our measurment system is part of our national identity. Changing to the metric system ultimately looses traction because it is equated with turning the United States into Europe. The lack of standardization is frustrating on face value. But, what is missed in the overal argument, nature abhors the eventual stagnation introduced by standardization in evironments as evidenced by evolution and competition. Fall of Rome.
Different units of measure reflect diverse world views and coping strategies in a complex environment. The resulting competition generates new discoveries, promotes commerce, and helps hold off the negative tendancy by human beings to form into standardised steady state devolving groups. Homogenius groups of humans do have the most productive communities with lower leves of interpersonal strife. If we call strife competition or conflict, you need that to introduce some form of motivation to the biological entities forming the group to do other than become lazy narcasistic BORG.

Ouch!! If i am correct (didnt check the historical file of the G.55) but I think that thing had 3 20mm guns along with the 12.7mm guns? It would be nice.

Nice post. I will say that it also causes the occasional space probe to miss its target, when the American (ie English) to metric conversion isn't done properly.
To our friends in other nations, I will point out that science, engineering, and medicine, among many others, are indeed done in metric, even here in the US. People educated in the sciences are expected and required to be able to use the metric system, as their individual industries require. The conversion back to american standard is often done in the last step for the American consumer's benefit, a step not taken for everyone else.
I for one would be fine with converting to metric for almost everything, with one notable exception. Everyday temperature measurements are better done in Fahrenheit than Celsius. Trying to figure out how hot or cold 15 degrees C really feels is a total pain in the ass. First, its not very precise, as I never see weather reports in Celsius given to a tenth of a degree. Fahrenheit is a smaller unit and therefore is more precise, giving a better indication of the temperature. Fahrenheit is also better at describing everyday temperatures throughout the year... temperatures are almost always described with two digits. If you get to a third digit, you know its damn hot outside and you better take care. If you get to one digit its very cold outside and you better dress warm. Whereas for Celsius, the difference from 0 to 9 degrees C is huge, as is the difference from 30 to 39. In Celsius, telling someone the temperature is "in the single digits" is a useless statement. The fact is that for everyday life, Fahrenheit is superior.
Obviously Celsius should be used in science and technology though, no dispute on that, and it is.
-
Can you tell the difference between 68F and 69F?
Then there is the freezing point. With metric one knows that is below the freezing point.
All you have to is remember a few temperatures,
10C is 50F
20C is 68F
30C is 86F
In other words every degree centigrade is ~<2 degrees farenheit.

"In metric, 10mm is equal to one cm. one gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. You count by tens and it can't get much simpler. I hope the change is made in my lifetime."
It was made in my yoof, here in Blighty - which is why this ol' cat's li'l brain is doubly-endowed Imperially and Metrically.
:cool:

My fellow Boilermaker, you are forgetting the importance of a pint of beer, a quarter pounder, a foot long, and the fifty yard line.
Back to the OP, yes on the Re 2005, along with the G.55. And any other airplane/vehicle/ship.

Fiat G55 was a much better plane. Picture a C205 on steroids with 3 20mm and 2 50 cals

how is a fifty yard line important we could just switch to meters and it wouldnt be THAT much different
i dont think anyof those things are that important, at least important enough to stifle progress...but if food beer and sports is that important to you i guess it dosent matter what system you use.

That's cause it should be 4 downs until the ball is turned over, not 3. I like the all eligible receivers can motion at once rule though.
Even in Canadian football, they use yards. Which is weird cause they use 110 of them. You'd think they might switch it to meters based on the larger field, and keep it at 100, but they didn't.
McDonalds tastes horrible and should never be eaten. You got me on the foot long thing... the approximately .3 meter long from Subway doesn't have near the same appeal.
:lol
