Fiat G.55/1...........production 349

[justIN]

   As the title says the Fiat G.55/1

So we have seen HTC deliver us the first production version of major aircraft or the largest production run of an extensive family. The first run of the G.55 was the Serie 0 which saw combat. With units flying mixed serie 0 and 1 as planes were produced.

G.55 Serie 0:

1 × 20 mm Mauser MG 151/20 cannon, engine-mounted (250 rounds)
4 × 12.7 mm (.5 in) Breda-SAFAT machine guns, two in the upper engine cowling, two in the lower cowling/wing roots (300 rpg)

The Breda got moved to the wings due to maintenance and servicing complications.

As you read though, the impression is, some number of serie 1 up to about 200 were ultimately produced. And you know how boom stick silly AH players are when it comes to their appetites towards squirting everyone else.

Which G.55 are you gents wishing for?

1 × 20 mm Mauser MG 151/20 cannon, engine-mounted (250 rounds)

Or.........

3 × 20 mm MG 151/20s, one engine-mounted (250 rounds) and two wing-mounted (200 rpg)

Or is there not enough weight difference for the performance code to care about, such that we can choose Serie0 or Serie1 armament packages in the hanger?

Be carful, we may well end up with a Ki-44 with the four Ho-103. So we could end up spending a few years begging for the Serie1. Look at our Ki-43, we still get occasional wishes for two Ho-105. I'm about five years into asking for all engine HUB mounted cannon to be set at "0" azimuth, since the real ones could not be angled up through the engine like our convergence application allows us to.

HiTech seems to have a permanently implanted anti crystal ball disrupter device in his skull. I have better odds to win the California lottery than to see into HiTechs choices. Kind of makes the dramas off the ball field more interesting.
