SCG_Faerber Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Hello I was hoping to bring attention to the lack of the Macchi 200 "Saetta" to the IL-2 title. The plane had a bigger role in Russia than the 202 and there isn't any flight sims that allow you to fly a well modeled Italian aircraft, except of course for IL-2 1946, but it is heavily outdated... Maybe by creating this topic and by people participating on the discussion might bring this to the Devs attention and show them the demand for this beast and more aircraft like this, unloved but deadly.

OrLoK Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Not sure if wonderful or hideously ugly. Just like me. Does this perform better than the 202?
SAS_Storebror Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Does this perform better than the 202? Not at all but it's fun to fly nevertheless, in 1946 that is. Add me to the preorder list. I hate those italian spaghetti planes, so I have to have them all Cheers! Mike 1
Alexmarine Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Along with the IAR80/81 is one of the axis planes that will fit the current scenarios good enough. It can easily complement the 202s in the career mode especially as they where the mainstay of italian's fighter units over the Don sector (and during much of the campaign).
A_radek Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Not sure if wonderful or hideously ugly. It's both! As if the designer had put every ounce of passion he had in it, until receiving that client email saying: "well,, we changed our mind, you get this radial instead lol" Then deliberately as a protest made sure this would look as wrong as possible. Despite the wonky looks I think the lightning did set some kind of speed record for it's time. I'd love to have this as much as the IAR, I-153 and Li-2, and considering their theaters of choice so far I bet devs want these too. But I also suspect they right now need prioritize sales. Mustangs and 262's will sell more copies. Edited February 7, 2018 by a_radek 1
ITAF_Rani Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Yes add mc200 and Iar could be really nice All italian community could be very happy to fly mc 200 in this new SIM.. 2
Inkophile Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Does this perform better than the 202? It's a tractor compared to the 202. Significantly slower. It does however have an amazingly tight turn radius. Think of it as a slower but climbier Hurricane, and with fricadelli-launchers instead of guns. 2
SAS_Storebror Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 fricadelli-launchers instead of guns. Thanks for the morning snigger Cheers! Mike
Royal_Flight Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 It would be good to have along with a couple of other earlier aircraft - maybe with an IAR 80 vs a Hurricane and I-153? Some interesting collector planes and represent a few different national designs while we're at it.
Trooper117 Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 I'd pre-order for sure... I've always liked it's 'fugly' looks
KG_S_Kalle_Kalutz82 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 TeamFusion 5.0 shall bring us all to North Africa Imagine you can fly the SM.79 there. Maybe there is even a CR.32 ! I have to admit - I started to play WarThunder time by time, cause there is a CR.32. But I would have nothing against ground attacking MC 200 at the Eastern Front too.
