Title: fill out the Italian set
Post by: caldera on August 04, 2017, 02:48:27 PM
C.200 Saetta: Early war fighter with bb guns.  1,100 produced.   Guaranteed to pwn Spit XVIs and even Yak XVIs.

Fiat G.55 Centauro: Mid war fighter with late war firepower.  The bestest Italian plane of the war. 

SM.79 Sparviero: Iconic tri-motor bombers.  The scourge of the Med, armed with torpedoes or bombs.

Am I reading about the wrong plane? Macchi C.200: 870 hp 14-cylinder air-cooled radial engine?

Spitfire Mk XVI would smack it around like a red-headed step child.  C.200 had it's hands full against the Hurricane and Gladiator (first C.200 lost in combat was from a Gladiator).

I'd especially like to see the SM.79 in the game.   Useful for scenarios and what a great look.

Don't forget the CR 42. She was a biplane, but had a 12 to 1 kill ratio on the Russian front at first of war.

Horse drawn carts had 12:1 kill ratio on the Russian front at the beggining of the war...

It took a while till the Yak and La mosters showed up. From the Russo-Japanese war to WWII the Russian army is notoriously slow in getting into momentuum.

I doubt the carts in Russia had a 12 to 1 kill ratio. The CR 42 was an early war plane that was a great flier. It would be as good or better than the I-16. I thought we were looking for more early war planes. Of course, I know by now everything is prone to criticism.

If you want SCW planes, the Cr.32 was the one to go for:

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-codKcxWUQmY/Vc1KROpLujI/AAAAAAAA1Ls/kCKnMcC6l6g/s1600/fiat-cr-32-chirri.jpg)

The Cr.42, while too early to have a large role in WW2, was too late for the SCW and there's no evidence that even the earliest models fought in the SCW, last I recall.
