Title: Italian planes
Post by: ONTOS on November 12, 2013, 02:51:17 PM
Again I beg for more Italian planes, Re 2005's or Fiat G 55's or something. I think they even had a four engine bomber with a respectable bomb load.They had the last modern bi-plane used in the war. Give the Italians something.

+1 for both the Re.2005 and G.55.

-1 for the P.108.

As long as we get the C.200 I'll be happy.

C.200 and CR.42 would be super cool :aok
Finns used the C.200 and the CR.42 was used in the Spanish Civil War
A few important biplanes from important powers would be cool in general... the Gladiator, Hs 123, and И-153

Don't  be a beggar...   I'd like to see the SM79, though - mainly because it looks really unusual and would be great for scenarios.   CR42s and Saettas would be good, too.  The only problem is that there are other aircraft that this game needs more.   I'm thinking Beaufighter and Tu-2.   I know that the Pe-2 was built in greater numbers, but the Tu-2 would see vastly more MA use.   Those Italian aircraft are interesting and good looking (like me), but the Beaufighter and Tu-2 should come first.

+1 on the Italian plane set. I also feel the Japanese plane set could have a few additions.

+1 for the C200, G.55, SM.79 and pretty much any other Italian aircraft  :aok

I would put the need to fill out the Japanese plane set much more so than the Italian plane set.  In the scheme of things, Japan was a far much larger player in the war than Italy was and is grossly under represented for being one of the 5 major combatants.

Actually neither is true. The Italian fighter Finns had was Fiat G.50 and the CR.42 wasn't yet operational during Spanish civil war but CR.32 was.

  :aok The KI-43 was a great addition and if other Japanese planes fly like that one lets get more of them. However the addition of Italian planes like the SM.79 the G.55 the MC.200 or even an older bird like the G.50 would be welcome with me.

Very true, I always stressed for having more "Burma campaign" aircraft as well as Japanese, along with the Italian aircraft. My reason is we have hardly anything for the Burma Campaign - now we do! Hurricane B, Ki-43 were common plane sets in Burma, wellington bomber and G3m (however Betty will do just fine).
I would like to see the Burma and Singapore campaigns soon, but we would need the Beaufort bomber, not sure how side balancing would work out being the Dutch only had a few fragment squadrons in the area. But with more japanese plane sets we can add addition scenarios to the Pacific.

Italian theater I wouldn't mind having a Gothic line type Scenario, Allies would be after factories and GV bases while the Axis hopelessly try to defend - poleski raid would be included in that as well.

+10 on the C.2005.

Great top speed, excellent climb rate, well above average firepower with the 3x20 and 2x0.50s. My guess is it will turn like the 205 though when I look at the size of that rudder....I can see that thing stall fighting, stomp on the rudder like an F4U.

Make it high on the list of new fighters.

boo

I thought we already has the C-202?  Not close enough?

No, totally different airplane due to a completely different engine.

According to Wikipedia there were more G.55's built than C.205's.  274 G.55's and only 262 C.205"s.  I know Wikipedia isnt right about everything, but in this case they are most definitely right, since their number support my wish. LOL. 

BRING US THE Fiat G.55, pretty please.  :pray

Nimrod wins the honesty contest.

Would the 55 be a hangar queen? Great for some scenarios though. Just wondering.

boo

No way would it be a hangar queen.  Check out the specs, she would be a sweet ride and deadly.

Actually there were far more C.205s built then the G.55. The RLM did not like the G.55 for a few reasons, for one it was a much better aircraft then the 190/109 (this came from a german test pilot) however the real problem was really production. I forget the number, AKAK said it once that the Germans could build 3 or 4 Me109G's vs one G.55. When you consider you can build 100 Me109s vs only 30 G.55 it makes sense, especially late in the war when planes and factories are dropping like flies.

I don't think the G.55 would be a hanger queen, honestly it doesn't matter if it would be, it served in combat and flew combat missions - this is the criteria needed to be added in aces high. Tell me does this not look sexy?!

It was a common aircraft, the last squadron used Re.2005's at the end of the war, which woudl be another addition to aces high

Fiat G.55
Wing area: 21.11 m² (227.23 ft²)
Empty weight: 2,630 kg (5,798 lb)
Loaded weight: 3,520 kg (7,760 lb)
Wing loading=34 pounds/foot

This is pretty light, indicating good maneuver capacity.

1475 horsepower/7760 lbs=.19 HP/pound

This is similar to the power/mass of the P-51D in AHII. If the G.55 could be expected to have a similar climb rate from the deck to 10K or so in game, that would be very respectable.

417mph@~23K on WEP...this figure is remarkably similar to that of the F4U-1A in AHII. If speeds are also similar deck to the 10K, would be a popular MA ride.

People say the G 55 and 2005 are similar to the 205. The p40's are similar, the P47 25 and 40 are similar , the FW190 A8 and F8 are the same ( except ord loadout) as far as performance.As far as production, the La7 was end of the war plane, yet it is very poplar. We can argue the pro's and con's of this and all other suggestions of different planes.We have only two Italian planes, why not add a few more, they are not a bad ride.[/quote]There is no answer to a question not asked. author, one of the three stooges (Curly I think)

Anecdotes say the Re.2005 was unparalleled in handling.  Docile, agile, and powerful.
