I noticed this:
many holders of fiat g 59 Australian pilots are relevant today.

However it is not 'regular place in il-2 sturmovik the Fiat G59-2 is an airplane designed shortly after the end of World War II.

Strange,Fiat G.55 with two propellers,like the late Spitfires?I would say that wasn't the G.55,rather the CR 44,but now things are messed up.

No way the MC.205 is the Italian Spitfire.In IL2 it flies like s...
Also,I saw somewhere luftwaffe officers described the Re.2005 performance as awesome,the G.55 as good,and MC.205 as regular.

The Re 2007 strongly resembles a F-84 with MiG-9 like cannons.

Despite what people say,you don't say stronzata at all.You could be useful as Oleg and TD RA advisor.

Oh,and what is the use for the pen at the G.59 cockpit?

The G.59 would be a nice '46 plane for the ICAF/ACI, that's for sure. :)

it's a big fat bird if you ask me, but really docile :)

lil trivia: the plane that strafes the submarine in the movie U-571 is actually an Italian G.59 which was repainted in dark green for the movie.. it really looked sexy!

Nicknamed “Gobbo Maledetto” (Italian for “Damned Hunchback”) for its distinctive fuselage “hump”, the S.79 “Sparviero” is one of the most famous Italian aircraft of WWII. It was originally designed as a passenger transport aircraft and was used by the Regia Aeronautica in the bomber and torpedo-bomber roles. The torpedo bombers had a dangerous mission and suffered heavy losses during the war. S.79s had to fly at low level straight and level towards the ships before the torpedo was launched, and so were targeted by every available anti-aircraft weapon. Many were hit and were compelled to ditch in the Mediterranean Sea, and some of the most heroic actions of the Italian Air Force in WWII were performed by S.79 pilots whose courage was acknowledged by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy.
Recently Simone Bovi met Luigi Gastaldello, a former S.79 pilot, WWII veteran, in his welcoming house in Vicenza, Italy, where the former pilot of the Italian Air Force (32 years of service, more than 3700 hours of flying, a war on his logbook and the memories of the passage from unstable biplanes to fast jets) recalled the most thrilling missions he flew against the Royal Navy during the Second World War:

More information! Avia manufacture? Model? When made?

Did it fly and was it stable? How is the vortex?

Eric Schilling posted about that being done in dives, same way that AVG P-40's and later Pacific War P-40's out turned Japanese A/C more nimble at lower speeds and in level flight.

I also read of p40 pilots in mediterranean who were teached to turn fight with the 109s but not with the macchis.
Also I remember of a P40 pilot telling that he had a fight with a 202 and was outturned.
