Italian Fighter Aircraft

I was just watching the videos, and sifting through the many images available, and was wondering if anyone (Anton or anyone else with the knowledge) could tell us what specific Italian Fighters will be in the game.

I've seen in the video's and like one screen shot of an Italian Macchi. But I couldn't tell if it was a MC. 202 or MC. 205? I hope both are in the game, rather than just one of them, since they were both a serious fighter against the Allied forces.

I also hope to see these.

*My Italian Fighter Wish List*

Fiat CR. 42 Falco

Fiat G.50 Freccia

Fiat G.55 Centauro

Reggiane Re. 2000 Falco 1

Any others would be great. And if some of these aren't in the basic game, maybe you could add them into a DLC?

To add to your wishlist, I think the Macchi (If that's how you spell it) C.202 Folgore is kind of a forgotten, but very good, fighter. However, this game is largely if not all European-Theater based, but maybe we could see some DLC. I've always been interested in scout planes myself...Maybe there could be a mode where finding and intercepting the enemy could be as crucial as destroying them?

PBY Catalinas all te Way!

Well I figured that since there is a campaign in Sicily (And Sicily is considered to be in Europe), the Macchi (yes that is how you spell it) 202 or 205 would be in there. And I figured that some Fiats should be also since they were some of the first planes to go up against the American and British Spitfires and P-38s.

That would be very interesting to see some multiplayer matches consisting of either early-war fighters or Sicilian campaign planes. If this isn't possible with the multiplayer system, (changing settings to only certain era aircraft) maybe we could get some kind of squad system going for private matches...Just for some great dogfights such as this.

That could be fun. Maybe have the Macchi 202's go up against some "Hurricane MkIIc's"? Something like that would be interesting.

Wasn't the Mkllc the one with the samll amount of ammo that could obliterate a plane in a short burst? I know there was a version of Hurricane with quite powerful cannon on it...either way, Hurris vs. Macchis or Fiats (maybe an Italian bomber) would be some DLC I would buy.
