at least it is a nice trainer :D for CoD with its CEM an trimm for all axis.....
just a pitty its magnetos and fuelcocks dont work.


but in general, IMHO to ad these italian planes was a waste of time, having in mind how late they appeared 1940 and how low there influence was.........
the whole work should have been put into Wellington cockpits instead!

+1

Wellington should have been there as flyable from the start. Welly and Dornier first, then exotic planes.

kamikaze?

It seems to me that the thing that the G50 does best is kill Itallian Pilots.
It's fantastic at that.

Yes, i am Winger from ROF. The DR Jockey:) Nice to meet you here. Ill edit it. Thanks for the tip.

Funny thing is, the G.50 did not even see any action in the Battle of Britain. It was all the Fiat CR42. Which of course is not flyable. A very stupid decision

I think they just saw a historically accurate chance to introduce a couple of aircraft that would be useful for a future Mediterranean/N.Africa add-on and took it.

Don't know if it's underpowered in terms of HP per specific power settings but what it's actually missing is it's WEP setting and we all know WEP in CoD is a temporary thing, so i don't expect a lot of performance improvements.

That's pretty much accurate however, in one case a few of them were scrambled against a Blenheim that was overflying their airfield in Belgium through low cloud cover (either on a reconnaissance or a lone intruder mission) and they couldn't catch it.

What is it good for then? Set up a QMB mission against some gladiators and see for yourself, it's actually pretty good fun ;-)

That's not far from the truth, as it was somewhat hard to force FIAT to produce Macchi 202 as well even if was proved beyond any doubt that it was clearly superior...

WAIT! It's got a pair of 50cals ! They even have incendiary-HE rounds if you load em... of course a 50 cal is too small to really bother with HE, and the G50 couldn't catch a Blenheim so not much you can do about that.

The camo paint job looked pretty cool in the Italian papers at the time i guess...

yep, and the next adon will be easterfront (most propably far away from the finnish front) :D
anyway, even for an MTO these two FIATs are not the first choice IMHO ........
but, its done , it already happened,so.......
