Remember lads don’t lose hope just yet it has been shown and prove by previous BP rewards that big changes can be made atleast until the time it would normally take someone to claim the vehicle on the BP and since this is the top reward there is some time to collect sources.

It’s enjoyable in GRB, which is what I thought the Re.2005 was really aimed at?

no, it’s a fighter? why would it be aimed at ground rb just because it’s the only Italian one with a decent bomb load.

not really, in reality a lot of planes can carry 1000kg bombs, but if gaijin don’t add the bomb…
also the reggiane 2001 cn if i remember correct
Because it has a good amount of cannon ammo (plenty of vulnerable - open-top ground vehicles at its BR), an okay bomb, and flight performance that outdoes what most people bring for CAS (and people don’t bother climing in GRB, so there’s that, too - they play into your hands). It is enjoyable in GRB. If you’re playing ARB, just take G.55 or such.
Truly one of the posts of all time, yeah bro I’ll just be happy with an over tired plane because it’s mediocre in ground rb, we should delete this entire thread. And the g55 is just as over tied besides the 4.3 one, while being worse in every category so idk why I’d play that instead lol.
You just want to whine, i get it.
All you do on this forum is instigate.
Nope. All i said was the Re. 2005 is enjoyable in the best and most popular mode this game has to offer (ground). If you wanna whine because of its performance in air battles, go at it.
It is not “whining”.

Get over yourself. You aren’t what you think you are. Nobody is “baiting”. Chronically online.

you’re great at saying a lot while saying nothing, honestly what’s your point, we should be happy we have a mediocre cp vehicle because it’s alright in ground rb? because that is laughable, and judging from the premiums and how ground rb balance has been left to die I’d say you’re mistaken there too.

I do agree with you
If you look at the German evaluations, not just flight performance, the picture of late-war Italian fighters is pretty clear. The Re.2005 was very fast and agile, but also fragile, over-engineered, and hard to mass-produce. The G.55 was seen as the best overall: solid, stable, easier to maintain, and much more practical. The Macchi 205 was still a good fighter, but based on an older design.
In War Thunder, things like production complexity or structural strength obviously don’t matter, only the performance numbers do. But historically that’s exactly why the Germans preferred the G.55 – it was a realistic frontline fighter, while the Re.2005 was more of a high-performance prototype.
It’s also worth mentioning that the Italian tests at the time actually underrated the Re.2005, mostly for political reasons and maybe even corruption, since Fiat and Macchi had much stronger influence than Reggiane. In reality, many Italian pilots thought the Re.2005 flew better, but that wasn’t reflected in the official reports.
All in all, the current 6.0 BR for the Re.2005 in War Thunder feels too high. The difference from the G.55 is small, and in the game it doesn’t really justify a full step up. A BR around 5.3 would make a lot more sense and fit better with how these planes actually compared.
in any case the br is not the focus of this whole thing

Hi dude
The purpose of this post is to collaborate and share research material about the MM495.
Some of us are putting real effort into understanding how this aircraft actually performed, by consulting historical reports and museum archives.
If you have any historical material or evidence that could contribute to the discussion, please feel free to contact me via private message.
If, on the other hand, you want to discuss BR ratings or personal opinions, this probably isn’t the right place — it would only distract from the main topic.
The same should applies generally to everyone: let’s try to keep this thread focused on solid, documented research.

the thing about re2005 is it really good fighter in since that it always get inside the turn of anther fighter unless you are zero or something good and then it has really good amount of firepower like really good 3 20mm and 2 12.7mm with a lot of ammo so no matter who fly it it will always get more then 2 kills at least that would sadly keep its performance good enough to stay at 6.0 so its a curse really of how good it is despite this version of it deserves a 5.0/5.3 br the 495 on the other hand is 5.7/6.0 because the normal 2005 can’t keep the turn up at its peak so it will fall back in sustain turn and rate fight but with the 400hp more or Less the 495mm gives this would definitely not be the case no more and will be an actually menace this is my view i hope you look into it and share or disagree with your own view
