Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The SM.92 is armed with:

• 2 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, centre-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)
• 1 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon, mounted in right propeller hub (300 rpg)
• 4 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, nose-mounted (350 rpg = 1,400 total)

Suspended armament

The SM.92 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

• Without load
• 6 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (300 kg total)
• 6 x 100 kg GP 100 bombs (600 kg total)
• 2 x 250 kg GP 250 bombs (500 kg total)
• 2 x 500 kg GP 500 bombs (1,000 kg total)

Defensive armament

The SM.92 is defended by:

• 1 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, tail turret (350 rpg)

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

• Lots of guns that can be brought to use

Cons:

• Defensive turret is almost fixed (only ±2° in each direction); the target has to be at exact 6 o'clock to be engaged
• Bad acceleration-rate, even when diving

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
