Hooo guys, this model is really insane! Sorry if a post this again, but this shoot is really a dream. The landscape itself does look absoluty amazing. Great work guys, top quality here! Thank you very much. Finally a Macchi is coming in a flight sim, a real one.  

 

What a beauty!

 

 

Both the external model and the cockpit are really nice, that is for sure. Like I wrote before, players are really going to enjoy this one. :)

with Cr 32, Cr 42 anc Mc 200.

 

He foughts vs  Gloster Gladiators, Blenhaim  and Hurricanes and escorted SM 79

 

In 1942 fling Mc 200 was wounded during strafing australian columns in via Balbia( I remember the hole in his leg)

 

In italy he served in the North to patrol aera of Milan and after he served with 24 Gruppo Caccia Autonomo in Sardegna since May to August 1943.

Last one Group  was 46ma Aerobrigata di Pisa on C119 Firechild and performed mission in Congo and was colleague of all pilots they lost their lives in Congo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindu_atrocity).

He flew back the remains in Italy of these poor pilots

Really interesting Rani. Thanks for sharing.

the 202 looks very nice and the summer maps looks so much better than the cocaine wasteland we have now, are there any other major improvements coming?

I did some reading on this crate, and everything I read praised the plane, but dissed the armament as too light.

 

How are beta testers finding the armament?

Just a few days, then you can find out yourself. But be sure, that also in this regard the plane will be close to the original one. ;)

Great looking aircraft.  I think I'll be ordering pizza that night.  :biggrin:

fantastico modellazione!!!! :cool:

Sexy MiGs? But the MiG-15 isn't in this game...

 

 

:P

Posted

Currently on vacation in Rhodes, where we live right across from a pretty good Italian restaurant.

 

Seems I will be eating Italian in hot summer weather all the time after I get home as well :biggrin:

Posted

I must say, that i was not much  interested in the MC 202.

 

But now i have seen these screenshoots and i truley cant wait.

 

Fantastic job :biggrin:

Posted

I am interested in any and every p[lane that comes to this sim.. I have my favorites of course.. but the more planes that are here the better it is IMO.. Once some of the other things that are already being worked on get squared away this sim will be even better than it is now.

Posted

can't wait to fly this beauty. I'm also excited to see how much damage 12.7mm machine guns do in game :)

I'll probably fly this plane a bit. It was a favorite from WT, and it's something different for the axis powers :)

:P

MiG-3 coming soon...

 

That shot of the Macchi over the blurry bridge is really great.

 

Grazie Rani per raccontarci la storia del tuo nonno. Cosa ha fatto nel doppoguerra?

The LaGG-3's UBS already tears things up, and that's just a single 12.7 without HE rounds.

...but with almost twice the rate of fire and higher muzzle velocity.

 

I have no doubt, that the Macchis armament will be enough, but its greatest asset will be the time of continuous fire.
