MC.202 entered the final stage of beta-testing. And it’s coming to the game really soon. Both visual and flight models are ready, and we’re testing them as a part of the version 1.102 release candidate. Speaking of the plane itself we can’t but share some of our observations, especially these five particularly interesting ones:
1.Macchi is quite a well armed plane. It’s to high caliber machine guns are surely effective especially for taking down enemy fighters;
2.A very good dive speed. The reference documents confirm that during flight tests the aircraft reached 765 km/h with no problem at all. This presumes that you can run this bird as fast as 850 km/h or even faster.
3.Surprisingly its G-limit according to the original docs is 15.6;
4.Impressive differences between specific planes within the same model and production series;
5.Quite peculiar construction features such as: different wing size, reversed throttle controls, a designated marker drawn directly on the sight reflector and a fold-out metal back sight to be used with it, etc..
We hope you’ll like your first date with this Italian beauty. Here are a few pics with the Macchi for you, pilots. It’s coming really soon to Il-2 Strumovik: Battle of Moscow early access program.
