Description

GarageImage G.56.jpg


The G.56 is a rank IV Italian fighter with a battle rating of 6.7 (AB), 6.3 (RB), and 6.0 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.69 "Regia Aeronautica".

General info

Flight Performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

  • 8 mm Steel plate behind pilot
  • 50 mm Bulletproof glass

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: MG 151/20 (20 mm)

The G.56 is armed with:

  • 1 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon   (300 rpg)
  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannons (250 rpg = 500 total)

Two of the cannons are mounted one each in the wings with the remaining cannon being nose mounted through the propeller spinner. Each wing mounted cannon is armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all wing mounted guns will fire with each other until empty. The nose cannon contains 50 more rounds of ammo than the wing mounted cannons and will continue to fire after the wing mounted cannons have run out of ammunition.

Suspended armament

Main articles: GP 50 (50 kg), GP 100 (100 kg)

The G.56 can externally has the following payload options:

  • Without load
  • 2 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (total = 100 kg)
  • 2 x 100 kg GP 100 bombs (total = 200 kg)

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:

  • Great acceleration
  • Relatively effective weaponry; three 20 mm cannons
  • Large ammo reserve (800 rounds total)
  • Above average climb rate
  • Decent maneuverability
  • Competitive flight performance at most altitudes

Cons:

  • Poor vertical energy retention
  • Control surfaces function poorly at high speeds
  • Stays in take-off settings while using Automatic Engine Controls, overheating the plane quickly
  • Open radiator affects plane's top speed more than typical fighters

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
  • other literature.
