Lower the Fiat G.55 to BR3

The Fiat G.55 is currently a BR4 fighter plane, and while it has excellent handling, it belongs on BR3 more than BR4. The turn time of this plane is incredible at 15.59 seconds, but it’s guns and bombs are rather lackluster in comparison; a single 20mm cannon with 250 rounds and four 12.7mm machine guns with 1,200 rounds and a pair of 100 kg bombs. While you can engage other aircraft and bomb the way it is, it is in no way close to other BR3 and BR4 planes. Here’s the stats of the G.55 compared to two BR3 fighters.

Fiat G.55
two 100kg bombs
one 20mm MG 151 Cannon (250 rounds)
four 12.7mm Bredas (1,200 rounds)
660 max speed - 15.59 turn time

Ki-100
two 250kg bombs
two 20mm Ho-5 Cannon (400 rounds)
two 12.7mm Ho-103s (500 rounds)
591 max speed -14.92 turn time

P51 D
two 500lb bombs
six 12.7mm M2s (1,620 rounds)
712 max speed - 18.32 turn time

Comparing the stats, while again, the G.55 would fly good, it would have the weaker guns and bombs, so it would be fine at BR3 due to those trade offs. Therefore, I suggest that the G.55 is lowered from BR4 to BR3.

Should the Fiat G.55 be moved to BR3?

Always compare a weapon to its rivals it’s the easiest way to convince people

Soviet I-185 should also be br 3. It has same bombs as ki 100 and p51 d5 + 20mm cannons but the handling is extremely poor making it fair.

Fiat G.55 was supposed to BR3 but someone who never played with it must have whined about it and it got moved to BR4.

Germanies equivalent to IL2 was moved to BR4, while IL 2 stayed in BR2.

Specially now with the La-7 going to BR IV a lot of BR IV planes can be moved to BR III: P-63A-10,Ki-61-II Otsu Kai and BF 109 G-6 really this planes should not be fighting jets and are no better then the current BR III planes. Even maybe Ki-61-I Hei also is a bit slow to fight the jets since its worse then the Spitfire LF Mk IX.

? It is? It drives me nuts that they dont move all like for like planes at the same time

LA-7 is a near copy paste of the g14 (stat wise)…but with bombs

Well yes G 14 and G10 should be BR IV and should have bombs also J2M3 is BR IV material very few props have chance at the current BR V and even for them im less and less optimistic considering the jet spam xD

Yeah. Pity That post we worked on matching all the planes is buried

Well it was too complicated I told you the devs like to do more simplistic change so we will have to make topic for each plane on its own xD

Move the La-7 to BR4 - Suggestions / Battle Rating - Enlisted

But if the La-7 goes to BR IV it will help balance the other planes hope they give La-5 also 100 kg bombs. And a lot of BR IV planes to be moved to BR III and a lot of BR V planes moved to BR IV since really there is no logic for many of this planes to stay if the La-7 is moved.
