Italians were unprepared for mass production. Workmanship and build quality was almost always of a high order, possibly too good for what were, after all, expendable war machines

Bias? I love american planes! I want more of them! I don't think somone is biased in any way here, Seeker.
Simply I'd like to have one or two italian planes modelled.
You don't like this? It's your problem.
But... yeees NOW I understand, perhaps you tried to be... ironic? LOL

Well well...indeed Italian really needs more planes.
Italian doesn't have Jabos.
Italian doesn't have Bombers.

Only Italian fighters here now, Italian can't plan even the basic invasion war in Aces High.

I think that they should be added first.

BTW I have question about Italian Jabo - C.205 could have bombs, couldn't it?
I hope that it would have them in next AH version.

Yep, after the end of 1943 C.202 and C.205 were used as recon and fighter/bomber. So they could carry drop tanks and bombs. But they were field modifications.

LUPO · « **Reply #50 on:** May 20, 2002, 06:07:14 PM »

Field modification were very popular. I'd love to have drop tanks for 202/205. Do you have any picture of that, gatt?

Add one Please.......

Err 2 I mean add 2 mre Italian Fighters and One bomber a Cant Z 1007:)

brady · « **Reply #52 on:** May 20, 2002, 08:32:34 PM »

Now am I reading this right? I always assumed the Cant Z 1007 could cary, aprox. four 1,102 pound bombs 2 internaly and 2 externaly at the same time, (or any of the vast combanation of bombs available to it.)

iwojima · « **Reply #53 on:** May 20, 2002, 08:59:24 PM »

The Z.1007bis proved to have a maximum speed of 283 mph at an altitude of 15,100 ft, a range of 1,242 miles and a maximum ceiling of 27,630 ft. The crew consisted of 5: a pilot, a co-pilot, a radio operator/gunner, a tail gunner and a gunner that operated either of the beam guns. Defensive armament consisted of 2-12.7mm machine guns in ventral and top turrets and 2-7.7mm machine guns in beam positions. The Z.1007bis had a maximum bomb load of 2,646 lbs of bombs or 2 17.7-inch torpedoes.

here some info brady that i found on the cant

brady · « **Reply #54 on:** May 20, 2002, 09:14:56 PM »

TY IwoJima, my sources are not 100% clear they seam to indacate that it could cary the external stores and the internal at the same time for the larger bomb load.

gatt · « **Reply #55 on:** May 21, 2002, 01:43:20 PM »

I guess it was a field modification made by a co-belligerant ground crew. Many C.205 were used for RECCE, they often had the 2x12,7mm removed.

LUPO · « **Reply #56 on:** May 22, 2002, 04:18:38 AM »

Nice one, Gatt! I hope we'll have options like that for the 205 in AH! It would be a great advantage in terms of fuel management...
Tks
