Caproni aircraft

Hello, as it reads, the intention of this topic is to try to make visible the situation of what comes to be one, among some absences that could be considered of great name , missing as regards the Tech Tree of Italy, specifically in the aircraft part.

I am referring to the complete and visible absence of the Caprioni company with regard to the game, since there is no sign of it in any form, neither being part of the Tech Tree of Italy itself, nor appearing in any other TT of nations that also used (or even collaborated with) any of the vehicles over the years, among which would be the nations of: Italy, Germany, Sweden and France (these being TTs); and also by Hungary, Belgium and Norway u, and some others.

Being a company that produced multiple aircraft, and not in few numbers, and which was used for some reasons or others (militarily) by various nations apart from Italy itself, I suppose I must not be the only one whose absence is strange after so long (It will be 10 years on the next 25 of May), having been so used and danced aircraft that, even without surely reaching the renown of aircraft such as the Spaviero or the Cicogna, had their importance and participation.

Caproni is able to provide all kind of vehicles like prototypes, such as the Ca.95, Ca.132 or the Vizzola F.4, or others much more used like the Ca.133, the Ca.309 or the Ca.314. Even, one could think of vehicles like the Ca.90 (which was, at the time, the largest biplane) as a possible low-tier event, the Ca.169 as premium, or others like the Ca.331 as a squadron vehicle.

And I will detail one last thing, since I think someone might argue that Caproni “is” in the game using Reggiane’s existence in it. The fact that Reggiane was a subsidiary of Caproni does not mean that its aircraft are from Caproni or vice versa. Caproni was on one side, Reggiane on the other. I say this just in case.

And before I finish, just to emphasize another thing: I know that the community knows and has already proposed multiple aircraft in the forums of Caproni, but this is mainly to see if it can make more visible the situation of the absence of an entire company, a company that was not exactly small.

Sorry to bother, and thanks for reading this (also sorry for the english, I had to use the translator).

Could come in two variants:

Unfortunately props have low priority for Gaijin, especially Italian. Italy is missing a lot of different designs from that era, not only Caproni planes.

Although I still hope some will be added soon enough, at least Ca.313/314 family and Ca.135, which were produced in series and exported to other countries.

Yeah, those two could be added to multiple TTs if Gaijin wanted. Especially the Ca.313, which, besides Italy itself, could be introduced to Germany, France, and Sweden (both as Swedish and Norwegian) if I recal correctly (I don’t think I’m missing any nation).

They have restored/reconstructed a Ca. 310 in Norway. Wonderful looking little twin engine plane. I know it wouldn’t be the greatest thing in game, but I would still want it. Sad to see that other Caproni planes aren’t getting added either. I would love more WW2 planes in game.
