Pre-order the Fiat G.55S Advanced Pack
The G.55 is a late war monoplane fighter developed by Fiat in an attempt to provide Italian pilots with an answer to the most modern allied aircraft of the day. Meet what was deemed by even some Luftwaffe seniors as “the best Axis fighter” in War Thunder’s Update 1.69!
In late 1942 it was clear to the Italian high command that an allied invasion of the mainland was imminent. As the invasion would also bring with it intense aerial bombardments, the need for a high-performance, modern fighter aircraft with powerful armament was more emphasized than ever. Unlike its competitors, who either lacked performance on higher altitudes or were difficult to manufacture, the G.55 Centauro (Centaur) delivered superb performance on high altitudes whilst being relatively cheap to manufacture, both in terms of time and resources.
The G.55 performed well in its designated role as fighter/interceptor, despite the fact that units often lacked sufficient numbers of the aircraft in order to perform optimally. Although the Regia Aeronautica initially ordered 1,800 Centauros, it was clear from the beginning that such an order could not be respected. This lead to the completion of only around 300 Centauros across all its variations.
In War Thunder, the G.55 Centauro will be a must-have for connoisseurs of high-altitude dogfighting. Thanks to the powerful engine and sleek aerodynamic design, the Centauro will provide its pilots with not only exceptional performance at altitude, but also with smooth handling overall.

For being a late-war Italian fighter, it goes without saying that the G.55 sported a fearsome array of weaponry. Nearly all versions were armed with a combination of several high-caliber machine guns and 20mm cannons.
A unique version of the G.55 was the Silurante (torpedo bomber) prototype. The G.55S, as it was designated, was a conversion of the Serie 1 variant, which traded its nose-mounted heavy machine guns for a torpedo pylon, capable of carrying a 987 kg torpedo, mounted on the underside of the fuselage. However, the project never left prototype stage as further development and production was hindered by the armistice in 1943.
In short, the G.55 and its variants are sure to present themselves as more than worthy adversaries to not only opponents in the air, but also to hostile targets on the high seas. The Centaur is preparing to join the ranks of the Italian research tree in Update 1.69, we hope to see you there!

Can we expect the IAR 80/81 this update?
White guilt and weaponized history ruins everything. Give us the roundel: one stick is weak, a grouping of them is strong, pretty wholesome message.
Why did you censor the emblems ?? They are Roman symbols more than over 2000 years ago, They are not political symbols !! it's ridiculous !! The Italian planes present now in the game had the original emblems ! The Soviet star and the communist emblem are never censored ! of course ...
yeah, i undestand, It does not depend on you, but it's absurd ...
Because it's illegal in Italy. The soviet star and communist emblems are not illegal anywhere, however. (at least not in the use in computer games like this).
i cant wait :) though i really wish/hope WT will start to regularly incorporate ships in Sim air battles because thats what i prefer playing...
Already bought, but I do have a few questions, if you wouldn't mind answering them; I. Is it maneuverable? II. What bombs do it take? III. How many rounds are in the plane? -Thanks!
That mustache though...
The fasces has been used for thousands of years as a prominent icon of state from the Near East all the way to the Iroquois tribes, and you have the nerve to censor/alter it? Disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves for ruining the collectivist meaning behind the fasces.
I've looked for any nations banning the fasces, but I can't find any. It COULD be that it's not the fasces that's banned, but the particular roundel of the fascist italian airforce that's banned.
OddballE8, Found it. It's most likely part of the number of symbols banned by Italy for being representative of the Mussolini regime.
Ok, after A LOT of digging, I think I know why the roundel was changed. Turns out that in Italy, many of the symbols used by the military during WWII are banned as they count as "fascist symbols". So, the triple fasca symbol is illegal to use in Italy, and thus they had to remove it here. For all of you comparing it to the hammer and sickle and such, those are not actually outright banned anywhere (except for in public places or political institutions)
Does electrical form count? I wonder if they paint over all those symbols from museum planes and tanks too.
Thanks for the sneak peek of the normal G.55
Looks like The Riddler from Batman Series will have no chances with you!
I wonder what Italy will get for jets?
