For the capacity of use of AA missile on A version please check the following manual

ok AerMacchi MB339 1977 (eng) Close Air Support Role Br -
I provided it to @Nicholas_Concu some time ago on the discord server
concerning BR evaluation I’m quite bored, there is always an attitude to overestimate italian plane that give no really advantage but is only a self-castration attitude, so I do not want to enter into this never ending ad inconclusive discussion since is GJ that decide the BR.
I’m not overestimating the plane because it is Italian, I try to be objective, comparing it rationally with the other subsonic attack planes in the game.
Ps: My mistake, from the “C” version it could carry the AGM-65 Maverick.
The “CD” variant was built specifically to have an advanced trainer with avionics similar to the Eurofighter, so that cadet pilots could already master that avionics, and can carry all-aspect air-to-air missiles and even four AGM-65s all weapons that the “A” version does not carry. Then on the fact that an iconic aircraft like the MB339 is not yet in the game, is a mystery.
It seems they’ve in general lost an interest in WW2 planes especially with the arrival of modern era jets and then add to that low Italian playerbase which leads to even lower interest from devs (and it goes in circles). Both lack of Caproni and Aermacchi planes is just ridiculous imo.
