Is there anything the G50 can do good?

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

the whole work should have been put into Wellington cockpits instead!

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

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

And again and again... a bad project management...

Ahhh... dear old Italy...

Actually, the med was considered as the first add-on for a very long time. In fact i think that the Moscow add-on was said to be out-sourced to another team once the work on the game engine is complete.

I could be wrong or things could have changed in the meantime, but the initial plan up until the computer expo in Moscow last year was for the development team to do the BoB and Med/N.Africa, while other teams (possibly sharing some of the staff and know-how) would do Moscow and Korea once the game engine was stable.
