Yep. Although in Fairness they were extremely manoeverable which gave them some form of advantage. The MC.200 and G.50 were two of the tighest turning monoplanes of the war, and the performance wasnt terribly shabby on the Saetta.

You will get no argument from me on that.
It was in engine design that Italian aviation suffered.
When later in the war, the Italians fitted high powered German designed inline engines in some of their aircraft, they were some of the best Axis fighter aircraft of WW2.
 
Not really, they could guide it; it wasn't a simply forward flying rocket - they could launch earlier than a regular rocket and fix flight problems with the joystick control...


Plus, after that, the Fw-190/Bf-109 would actually be faster, since it had less armor, only fuselage guns, and lower on gas after the journey...


Great for high-tailing your ass out of there.

Fast.
