Correct on almost all counts, although I think that the Mk.IId Hurricane is in the game.

Yes, but there are some frustrating choices for the flyable Italian planes.

A flyable Re.2000/MAGAV Heja would make for a more interesting career as a Hungarian fighter pilot (you start off with the Cr.42 - which sucks on the Eastern Front after 1941, then later transition to the Bf-109G).

A flyable Fiat G.55 would just be fun. We don't exactly need it since we have a flyable MC.205 and the G.55 wasn't built in any great numbers, but if you're a fighter geek, then not having it flyable is like being a kid with his nose pressed up against the candy store window. Same for the Re.2000 and Re.2002.

Yep. The good news is that modeling a single-engined AI plane isn't THAT hard, if you've got the basic artist skills. Maybe some modder will hear our prayers.
