Description: The Fiat G82 was an Italian post-war jet fighter/trainer. It was the development of the Fiat G80. After the experience with the G80 Fiat, we tried to improve some performance since the test proved that the aircraft needed some improvements. The biggest change was regardless of the propulsion, where the de Havilland Goblin was replaced with the more powerful Rolls Roice Nene. This was actually the biggest and most important change compared to the previous model. Thanks to the new engine, it was capable of reaching a better max speed, better flight performance, a better climb rate, and more weapons. But the engine also consumed more fuel, so in addition, the aircraft got two fuel tanks at the ends of the wings. The G82 made its first flight back in May 1954. The aircraft was actually made to take part in the 1955 Nato trainer competition. Unfortunately, the aircraft was not selected as the winner, and Fiat was only able to secure a total of four orders plus the prototype from the Italian Air Force. In the Italian Air Force, the aircraft was used for training, and it was dismissed in 1959.

Why it should be in the game: Alongside the Fiat G80 this aircraft is needed since Italy is lacking of early jets. This one alongside the G80 will be very good multy role aircrafts.

Italy desperately needs dedicated Ground Attack & CAS aircraft at Tier V

[Conte_Baracca]

The fact this plane still isn’t in this game is proof Gaijin doesn’t give a crap about Italy.

The G.80/82 are about 5 years overdue at this point.

Big +1! Would love to see more unique early jets

[AVROVULCANXH558]

+1, Italy needs more strike-trainers. I suppose it could go in the bomber line, but anywhere would make a difference

[AspandaIV]

Alternatively the F-84F, G & Tornado can move into the bomber line while the G.82 can potentially start a domestic Italian Attack Aircraft line continuing from the P-47

@Conte_Baracca

Gaijin doesn’t give a crap about Italy

This is the truth.
