PS edit your *naughty word* quickly Winger or you'll get banned. Not that it bothers me.....ITS FOR THE KIDS>>>>SAVE THE CHILDREN!!! Kids these days know more swear words than me anyway. Or maybe that just applies in Newcastle.

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

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 ........

Besides. It takes ages to heat up. Pretty useless if you ask me. I think you cant even catch a bomber with it

Feels more like a G500 For those that know the fiat 500...

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