Krusty, Lusche, I think you mean the Hs 129, the 126 was a biplane...

And you are now confusing the Hs 126 with the HS 123 - 129 was a monoplane. The Henschel eins-zwei-drei was a biplane and indeed a ground attacker.

And back on topic G.55: while my "vote" will probably go to another plane, I will certainly not object if this little beauty will be introduced...

[Gianlupo]

You got me!!!

And thanks for your support, bro!

I fully support the G55,I have flown this A/C in another sim and it would be a great addition to the game.Maybe,just maybe,the axis might have a better chance in CT with the addition of the G55:aok

[Hawco]

I'm in

[Gianlupo]

Morfiend, which sim is that? I thought no one had the G.55....

Btw, thanks to you and Hawco for the support!

One of the MSFS versions has one. A google search turned up something about that, earlier today. I didn't think much of it at the time.

P.S. I was thinking HS-129B, I had to go look it up just now in a book. Only 800 made. More than I thought, but still a miserable excuse for production numbers, and it would still have a solid home in AH as a GV-plinker

[Krusty]

Just as a further heads-up. The early variant was the G.55/0 (zero). It had only the engine-mounted MG151/20 20mm cannon, and the 2x SAFAT MGs in the nose. It was rather quickly supplanted with the G.55/1, which had 2 additional wing guns installed, bringing the total to 3 cannon, 2 MG. Most of the G.55s made were /1's, but some /0's were included in the first batch, just before the armistice.

Perhaps a choice in the hangar? Include both options, like the current C205 has 2 gun options as well.

[morfiend]

it was a CFS3 addon,they had Me 410 aswell:aok

[Krusty]

<-- starts to eye the 410 thread


(*ducks Gianlupo throwing a spinach pie at me*)

[Mulligan]

How many were made/used??

Krusty... keep ducking!

No, I meant... The G.55/0 were the pre production series, I think they were 12 about (going by sheer memory, I may be wrong) The first one was armed with the MG151/20 and ALL 4 Safat MGs in the nose... but this arrangement gave problems (5 guns and a total of 1400 bullets in the nose... ) and 2 of the MGs were moved to the wing, were they remained till the I production series, when they were replaced by 2 MG151/20.

Mulligan, the production numbers are not sure, mostly because of the bombing raids over North Italy in the late war, but, for sure, 150 G.55 of I series were delivered to ANR (the fascist, north italian air force), plus the 0 series exemplars and then, some other tens were built, but it's not sure how many of them went into service (again, I'm going by memory). So we can say that 150/200 were used during the war, with the first one as the sure number, the latter just as hypothetical...

Morfiend, thanks for the answer!

[FTJR]

G55, has my vote.

[straffo]

Krusty can you explain me why you started a pissing constest about the D520 and yet support the G55 ?

[Gianlupo]

Thanks for the support, FTJR!

Straffo, my dear beyond-Alps cousin.... why don't you support my plane, too?

P.S. what pissing contest? I think the D520 was a good plane, I'd like to have simulated in any flight sim.

As a personnal preference I prefer the Yak3 ,but any pretty plane is good for me and th G55 is for sure pretty (I won't say of this of the Me410)
