Fiat G.55 vs. ___________

[yogybär]

If the quotation from Peters is taken from the report 182/43 from 27.02.43, then it is unexact.

In that report, on page 3 it is stated, that

"
The Fiat G55 is on the same level as the german fighters concerning high-alt-climbrate. She is superior in weapons and range, but slower (25km/h at date), where one has to take into account that the italian DB605 provides 100PS less.
As the engineers stated that the DB603 can be installed without bigger modifications, the G55 gets very interesting because it would be superior in every aspect to all german fighters if equipped with DB603.
"

So, just another case of "what-if". And even with DB605 it doesn't play any decisive role, taken into account the little numbers in service.
