The G.55 Serie 0 is an italian fighter that was the pre-production model of the G.55 line of fighter planes. This plane is good, but it isn’t really at the right BR, but that’s a different suggestion entirely. The focus of this suggestion is on the G.55 Serie 1, the first production version of the G.55 line. There were a few main differences between the pre-production and production models, the main 2 being the power of the engine and the armament. The Serie 0 has an engine that is 638 Kph fast, whereas the Serie 1 has a slightly more powerful engine with 8 more kph at 646 Kph, which won’t be very distinguishable in game, but an advantage nonetheless. The more exciting of the upgrades, however, lies in the armament of the plane. Instead of having only one 20mm cannon and four 12.7mm machine guns on the Serie 0, the Serie 1 replaces two of the 12.7mm machine guns for 20mm cannons, which massively increases its effectiveness against planes. The plane keeps the rather small bomb load shared on the Serie 0 consisting of two 100 kg bombs. I think this plane should be BR4, since it’s a definite upgrade over the Serie 0.
So in summary, comparing it to the Serie 0;
- three 20mms and two 12.7mms versus one 20mm and four 12.7mms, pretty big upgrade
- a bit faster, but not very noticeably
- same fairly weak bomb load, but still usable
- TT
- Event (as solo vehicle or with a squad)
- Premium
- Shouldn’t be added
- BR 3
- BR 4
- BR 5
I know this is one @Myrm1don’s favorite planes, so I hope our resident Plane Expert eats good with this suggestion, even though it’s an old suggestion updated for the new system
. Thank you though, getting support for suggestions makes me want to make them.
