Lots of weapon options! +1
Better version of my favorite prop +1 of course, would love to see it as a researchable plane in the TT.
Yes +1
Thank you very much Gaijin and every body who supports this suggestion 😊
+1
Damn yes. +1
+1 It’d be a very effective, yet easy and cheap aircraft for Gaijin to implement
I’ve been waiting for this plane ever since I saw it on the old forum. If we can’t have the Re.2006, then this is the next best thing. +1
Yes PLEASE

Despite i like the proposal - i would prefer a “re-nerf” of the flight model / turn performance of the already existing Re 2005. Everybody who has flown the “old” 6.0 Re 2005 - so before the engine AND FM nerf and downtier to 5.3 - will agree that the turn got much worse. Especially when you have used joystick instead of mouse - the agility was gone - in direct comparison the new 5.3 version flies like a brick.
Seeing the increase of the BR of the nerfed Re 2005 from 5.3 to 5.7 and now to 6.0 is just a sign of plain stupid US/GB pilots and some decent pilots still flying the Re 2005. So without a change of the flight model you will still have an artificially nerfed plane - so if you upgrade the standard version, the upgrade will have the same nerf.
Btw - even in case gaijin will adopt the “new” version - expect a BR of 6.3 or 6.7.
And for gaijin: Despite i decided to spend not a single cent at this broken game on this account - i would actually pay for a “re-nerfed” flight model if it would be implemented in the already existing and this “upgrade” version - but only then. It was no real fun to fly several thousand games at 6.0 mainly versus F-80s and Meteors - but the fun to clap LF Mk 9s and 14s was worth my time…
Engine nerf was made because the engine of the Re.2005 was completely broken and heavily overperforming. If you used MEC you could get a climb rate of over 35 m/s, as seen in this video by AdamTheEnginerd.
On top of this, if I’m not mistaken, the engine had been incorrectly modeled to be a DB-605AM already, instead of the normal DB-605A, meaning that even without the MEC trick the engine was overperforming in horsepower. With the now more correct engine specifications, the Re.2005 has a worse PWR than, for example, the Bf 109 G-2, so worse climb and acceleration is definitely expected.
With the original nerf, Gaijin decreased the wing span of the plane in the FM, giving it horrible MER. I assume that this is the FM nerf you are referring to. However, this has already been fixed. The wings of the Re.2005 have been the correct span for quite a while now actually, and it does not have any other artificial FM nerf that I am aware of.
Flight model seems to be correct now, the problem is (as with all Italian props) the br. 6.0 in a plane that has the same engine as a Bf-109g2 is laughable. Should be 4.7
Exactly my point, it is just not a problem of FM or engine performance now, simply the BR should be lower.
I was aware of that - so i had no prob with the HP nerf - but the FM nerf was insane. I mean i killed adam at least 2 times in a forced headon (and survived) - and besides his annoying “classic roll from side to side” i loved his vids - his j21a vid was a great help. Btw - J21a was op at BR 3.0 - but crap at 4.3…
So if two of you are confirming that they fixed the flight model it might be time for a revisit. I flew the IT P-47 D-30 at 5.0 because i can at least disengage at will - and the airbrake helped a lot vs F4Us trying " classic rolls from side to side" in the Ju288 “black hole”.
The artificial “overtiering” of Italian props is imho just the result of the niche position of Italy and this totally braindead BR setting policy (simple average, not technical plane performance) favoring the US market - i remember the G56 with 50k+ repair cost fighting vs hordes of A2D-1s…
Thx for the update of the FM!
Great suggestion, happy to see it reuploaded. +1 of course.
+1 we need all the prototypes and versions ! italy needs this plane
+1 would love to see it added
would be cool to have as battlepass vehicle; so that we can demonstrate italian mains that “it’s not just a 4.3 spitfire” since it’s one of the best boom and zoom aircraft and, unlike the spitfire, it holds energy very well.
Ty for your support.
I’ve been waiting since years that gaijin will add one day the re.2005 vdm mm.495😪
nothing of new for the reggiane?
