Downtier Fiat G.55 to BR3

[EVA_JigsawGaming]

While a decent fighter I have always enjoyed, the Fiat G.55 has long been overshadowed by the planes of other nations and especially is now with new additions. Compared to planes from other nations it is not appropriate for BR4, and should be downtiered to BR3 (where other nations have planes that still outperform it), allowing for it to be used more and fit in with other Italian equipment which does not go beyond BR3, allowing for better lineups.

Stats of other BR3 planes as well as the new Ki-100 which vastly outperforms it at a br lower:

Fiat G.55 (BR IV):
2x100kg bombs
x1 20mm MG 151 Cannon
x4 12.7mm Breda-SAFAT Machine Gun
660.95 top speed / 21.32 climb rate / 15.59 turn time

Ki-100 (BR III):
2x250kg bombs
2x 20mm Ho-5 Cannon
2x 12.7mm Ho-103 Machine Gun
591.84 top speed / 21.78 climb rate / 14.92 turn time

P-51D-5 (BR III):
2x500lb (226kg) bombs
x6 12mm M2 Browning Machine Gun (Late)
712.07 top speed / 20.84 climb rate / 18.32 turn time

Fiat G.55 to BR3

[BR3 aircraft comparison] Hello bajtársak and fellow forumdwellers, The G.55 sottoserie 0 is a decent aircraft, no doubt about it, its the best Italian fighter aircraft at the moment and can be effectively used in BR5 by experienced pilots, but that is true for most BR3 fighter aircraft. The G.55 does not stand out with its suspended armament, speed or turn rate even at BR3 thus it gets easily overshadowed by the bf-109 G series on BR4. Some veterans may even remember that the G.55 was even …

Interesting it got moved last minute, good post! I really don’t think the turn rate concern is valid anymore given the Ki-100 has a vastly better turn rate, and armament, with larger bombs and 2x 20mm guns center mounted (unlike other japanese planes) rather than the single on the G.55 has.
