[@ODST_Parker]

This was one of my favorite planes in the entire Italian tech tree even when they nerfed it... when it was at 5.3. It felt like a 109 had a baby with a Spitfire. Fantastic guns, fantastic energy, and fantastic turn performance. At least, that's how I remember it. It's been a while since I've flown it in Air RB. Now, I use it for CAS because it has a 500kg bomb along with the 100kg on each side. It's absolute murder for CAP duties though, I love clearing the skies around the battlefield after I drop my big bomb.

[@DFlaminberry]

"Felt like a 109 and a spitfire had a baby" lmao this is how I've described a lot of the Italian fighters

@@DFlaminberry It's why I love their aircraft tree so much, the props anyway. They feel like a hybrid of two fantastic combat styles, and they're very fun despite the weaknesses. C.205, G.55, and Re.2005 are three of my favorite prop fighters in the entire game.

[@Player-st4hn]

Your title sums the Re.2005 up perfectly. I also am baffled at how a plane with the performance of a 4.3 Spitfire F Mk IX is at 6.0, but it is still playable at that BR because players suck at that BR, you can still use your advantages and early jets don't stand a chance in a dogfight.

[@no-legjohnny3691]

Generally, when you have a maneuverable plane that hardly anyone plays or sees, most people will just full-send dogfight it. Things like the IL-2s, the Su-6s, the Ki-108, the SB2C Helldivers, the MB.157T, the Dehaviland Venom, the Canberra Mk6, etc. All of these are very agile vehicles that nobody assumes are capable dogfighters because nobody uses them, so they just try to turn around you even when it's obvious that you're gaining position on their tail and only ditch out and try diving away when it's already too late.

[@TethoSama]

Ey, Defyn making a guide for flaps? I am all up for it.

[@Wanys123]

The only reason this is 6.0 and not 5.3 or even 5.0 is that it fights US mains at 6.0 bracket. Half lawnmow and half dives after first ju288 they see. Despite being the only fighter on my team in vast majority of the matches(due to Ju288 spam it gets into a lot of 6v6 matches), 70%WR, 49: 12 KD in 23 matches. And this was by far my least favourite Italian in t3 and t4 - it had horrendous stock syndrome, going 520 in level flight and unable to go past 620 in dive... F8F or P51H outrun you in level flight as you dive on them.

I guess it fits into the meta better than the G.56 due to its good 1v1 abilities and dealing with energy disadvantages, while the G.56 is good in 1vX with its great energy retention - albeit there are more 1v1s(with the enemy having better energy) than anything in rank IV for the Allies-Axis matches

[@kingghidorah8106]

the re2005 is a chore to fight against if you're in something like the average 6.0 gunboat (which is what half of 6.0 planes are) but anything like a corsair or a yak 3u 0.3br lower will spank this thing. As much of a Mk9E spitfire the re2005 is it's still a mediocre mobile for 6.0 and mg151's are no longer what they were, especially against american aircraft which is what you face the most on it.
