UMMM.... Yes.

Oh but they were...the Germans used MC.205's because they were more than capable of dealing with P-51D's...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 12, 2005

I think they used them because they took them from the Italians and would use anythign that was decent, but not because they thought the Me-109G and Fw-190's could not.

Maybe. Whatever the case though, when the Series 5 fighters were entering service in 1943 they were right up with the best of the time.

ok let's change the discussion a little, was there anything purely italain that was any good (ok not purely but mostly)??

cheddar cheese · May 12, 2005

SM.79, MC.202 (Ok but that had DB.601, as did Re-2001), CANT Z.1007, MC.200, CR.42, RS.14, P.108, Re-2000.....things like that 8)

the lancaster kicks ass · May 12, 2005

all of which were rubbish compared to german or allied designs...........

plan_D · May 12, 2005

First massive error that I care to point out, the Cr.42. It wasn't good, in fact it was pretty crap. As all bi-planes were.

cheddar cheese · May 12, 2005

In relative terms it was good though.

Wow lanc, shows that youve done lots of research on your Italian planes, because if you could be arsed to do a little look around youd see that they werent all "rubbish" compared to Allied designs.

the lancaster kicks ass · May 12, 2005

yeah i CANT (see what i did there 8) ) believe CC actually thinks all them were good........

plan_D · May 12, 2005

Comparitively, my turds could be considered good...compared to let's say a B-25 Roc. That doesn't make the Cr.42 good.

mosquitoman · May 12, 2005

It's good compared to a Wright Flyer

cheddar cheese · May 12, 2005

Wright Flyer with a couple of .50 cals won the wings would make for a great ground attack aircraft, as it operates best at an altitude of around 3 - 4 feet

mosquitoman · May 12, 2005

Then again it would probably cause more damage by crashing into the enemy positions

plan_D · May 13, 2005

Going around 5 mph, it'd probably just crash and fall to the ground. Whoever it crashed into would brush off his shoulder and laugh at the pilot.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 16, 2005

Im sorry but I can not think of too many good Italian designs. I think they just failed in the aircraft department.

cheddar cheese · May 16, 2005

The majority of the designs were incredibly sound. They just couldnt produce engines that done them justice.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 16, 2005

Either way I am not impressed by them.

cheddar cheese · May 16, 2005

Hmmmm. Your call but I think the series 5 fighters deserve notice from anyone.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · May 16, 2005

They may have been some of the best that the Italians made but compared to Me-109's and Spitfires they would put a fight at best. Against a Fw-190 or P-38 they stood know chance.
