Unfortunatly the CC1 and 2 were not intended for combat, and also the prototypes were not fitted for any weapons.

Wow, that’s cool! You got the original drawings of the Caproni Ca 183 Bis, I hope Gaijin puts it in the game, it was 80% built

Would this be good ingame? Because I know the C.C.2 wasn’t actually all that good or fast (despite being really big advancement in technology)
Though the jet in additition to the prop might make it pretty good, almost like a mini-ariete (jet functioning like a mini-afterburner).

They was partially different even if made by same company.

very good, if you got the original drawings you probably have pictures of it before it was destroyed by American bombers.

The Caproni Ca183 bis would be good, yes; its performance would be somewhat similar to the Focke-Wulf Ta 152 due to the large wing for greater lift during flight. Besides being Italy’s first hybrid fighter, the Caproni Ca183 bis could be an event fighter.

Just hoping for those pics.
Probably buried on a private collection.

Sorry to inform you that it almost surely wasn’t even started.
The drawings are dated “6th of October 1944”, and at that point, the Axis’ industrial base had been strained by bombings and they could barely afford to build the stuff they were already making, so there’s no way they could’ve built a flying armed prototype from scratch in less than 8 months.
Also, the plans show no evidence of any “afterburner”, suggesting that the fan in the fuselage was only meant to increase airflow for the intercooler (section HH) and the water/oil radiators (section II), giving a mild speed boost as a byproduct.
