F.C.20 Bis - BR2 Italian attack aircraft in the tech tree

The F.C.20 Bis is an attacker aircraft made by Italy, and could be a good addition to BR2 to expand the representation of Italy in game. for all intensive purposes, is plays like an upgraded HS 129, so I propose making this a BR2 vehicle. It features a nose mounted cannon similar to the 75mm with 137mms of pen on the Duck, however is quite different, this one is only a 37mm cannon with 48mms of penetration (which is still amazing), but it also has much more ammo and fires faster than the 75mm cannon. The secondary weapons are 12.7mm machine guns instead the 8mms, which isn’t a huge upgrade, but it also gets a rear gunner armed with a 12.7mm machine gun as well. This plane also has some bomb racks on the wings, which the HS 129 lacks. It can carry two 100kg bombs or 160kg AP bombs, which have 10kgs more explosive mass than the pre existing Italian 100kg bombs at 60kgs (50kgs for the 100kg bomb), as well of having the ability to penetrate armor on direct hits to tanks, but given how far apart the bombs are on the wings, this would be difficult.

Overall, I think it would be a unique addition to BR2 with it’s armament pretty unique compared to other attackers at the same BR but still probably powerful, and a worthwhile addition to the game.
