Description
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
Loved by its pilots and despised by the enemies that get in its crosshairs, the G.56 is an excellent plane at its tier. It takes the already very solid G.55 airframe, extends the fuselage and places a powerful DB 603 engine in place of the already good DB 605, and drops the two Breda 12.7 mm HMG's, which were fairly useless to begin with. The improved power of the 603 combined with overall weight deductions allows the aircraft to propel itself to new heights and gives it more than a fighting chance when facing other aircraft in the 5.0-6.3 range. Generally speaking, it is a very responsive aircraft with good overall flight characteristics that can dominate the airspace if given the chance. These traits have gained the aircraft the affectionate nickname of Super Centauro by the community.

Survivability and armour

Armaments
Offensive armament
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
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
The G.56 will be a competitive aircraft in almost any role you put it in. Low altitude, medium altitude, high altitude, Energy fighting, Boom-&-Zoom or (in some cases) turn-fighting, the G.56 can do it all! However, your ideal flying style should be a more reserved medium to high altitude Energy fighter, as this is the area the aircraft excels the most in. One should always keep their energy up, a minimum of 230 mph/370 kph, as this allows you to keep your awesome maneuverability and bug out of unfavourable scenarios. It is important to note that the G.56 can very quickly bleed velocity in high speed horizontal turns, and you may find yourself struggling to regain it.
One does not have to worry about the ammunition of the aircraft, as you are given an absurd 800 rounds total (300 in the nose mounted gun plus 500 in the two wing mounted guns) and have access to the universally feared minengeschoß round that will destroy anything in a few well placed hits.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Powerful engine gives it great acceleration and adequate top speed
- 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
- Arguably the best 6.0 Axis aircraft that can deal with most Allied props with relative ease
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.
