Italian Fighter Aircraft

[DigitalMan]

I love the little Macchi, I think its a really beautiful fighter. And how do we know its an Mc 202? I betcha its a 205. I hope they've rendered a cockpit for it, I'd like to mix it with some spits online in a Macchi, and I too would gladly pay for an italian dlc. Woohoo!

It is a MC 202. The engine cowling is the main visible point of difference between the two fighters, and the plane in the trailers is definitely a MC 202, identifieable by the different shape of the air intakes under the exhausts on each side. Considering how similar the external models are, it would be very easy to make the MC 205 out of the MC 202 by changing the cowling slightly, replacing the 7.7mm MGs with 20mm cannon and changing a few other stats.

Thanks for clearing that up, David. I tried to see, but all the pics didn't help, and when I saw the video I couldn't see the cowling so I was stumped.

If they have the MC.202, then I'm sure they'll have a MC.205. And I do hope they will have authentic cockpit view for the Italian planes.

EDIT: You were right, David. It is a MC.202, I just watched through the video, and saw it had a 202 cowling.
