![]() When turning with elevator, rudder, and flaps, the G.55S can even turn with Spitfires. The plane's solid turn rate allows it to find firing solutions easily while staying out of enemy planes' firing lines. ![]() A furball battle provides little time-on-target, but the incredible armament of the G.55S can down an enemy in a split-second. However, the G.55S performs very well in such dense and fast-paced engagements. With most planes, diving into furballs is not recommended. With the excellent climb rate, it is rather easy to transition between the two tactics while retaining energy for sufficient speed and mobility against the enemy. Fly towards the enemy ground/naval targets and bomb away, then while the payload reloads, climb up to a sufficient altitude and focus on fighting enemy planes while the reload time ticks down slowly. Due to the Minengeschoß rounds, one attack run on a bomber or attacker can easily shred off a wing, and fighters often explode into a fireball once hit.Īs Arcade Battles provide in-air resupply of suspended armaments and reduce their negative effect on the aircraft's performance, it is entirely possible to enter the battlefield wielding bombs and torpedoes for a fighter-bomber role. With three 20 mm autocannons, a good burst on a target can cripple an enemy aircraft. Rather, minimize the time being targeted by enemy vehicles. Due to the low armour on the G.55S, it is not recommended to loiter about. Once altitude superiority has been achieved, practice Boom & Zoom tactics against enemy planes and take them out in high-speed fly-bys. The G.55S's high climb rate ensures that the plane can quickly gain an altitude advantage over its adversaries. 2 x 100 kg GP 100T bombs (200 kg total)Īrcade Battles: Once in the game, climb to a suitable altitude.The G.55S can be outfitted with the following ordnance: There are no armoured headrests or floor plates to offer increased pilot protection from bullets coming from underneath or behind the plane. The armour is only comprised of a 50 mm bullet proof windshield and an 8 mm armoured steel seat. Fiat G.55 series aircraft (in general) do not have much armour. B-17 bombers), approaching from the rear, where the enemy has most defensive turret coverage, is not recommended. With three MG 151/20 autocannons, it will make short work of all fighters and with careful aiming, can be used to effectively destroy heavy fighters and even the heaviest of bombers, when attacking heavily defended targets (ex. The G.55S was discontinued from the store after the 2019 Summer Sale, but was later reintroduced for War Thunder's 7th Anniversary as a premium purchasable in-game for Golden Eagles, the G.55S is a torpedo fighter, it is a very good plane because of its manoeuvrability and endurance which allows it to perform turn fight and energy fight manoeuvres, the plane can have a torpedo or a set of two 50kg or 100kg bombs useful for CAS in realistic battle, the plane is quite resistant to damage caused by enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft, when the G.55S is not being used as a torpedo fighter, it is best used as a low to medium altitude (2-5 km) fighter. ![]() It was introduced in Update 1.69 "Regia Aeronautica" as a pre-order premium pack prior to the update that also allowed access into the Italian Closed Beta Test. During the end of World War II, in order not to consume too many resources to produce a new airplane some engineers began to try to make small modifications to specialize such an airplane, there were several new variants, in particular we saw the development of the G.55 which was modified to create the G.56 variant and also the G.55S variant, the G.55S is a variant specifically for attack against enemy ships, in fact the S stands for Silurante, it could mount a torpedo in comparison to the standard G.55, only a few examples were built then used in battle but without having any success against ships but more used as an air superiority plane. ![]()
