Description
The Ro.57 Quadriarma is a premium gift rank II Italian strike aircraft with a battle rating of 2.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced during Update "Hot Tracks" as a reward for the 2020 Operation W.I.N.T.E.R. event.
General info
Flight performance
The Ro.57 is quite manoeuvrable for a strike aircraft, with a great roll rate and turn time, and will most likely be able to win turn fights with other twin-engine aircraft. However, remember, the Ro. 57 is not a turn fighter, and should not be used as such. In addition, it's rather slow for its BR, so keep that in mind when chasing enemies.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The Ro.57 Quadriarma is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm Hispano 404 cannons, nose-mounted (60 rpg = 120 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, nose-mounted (350 rpg = 700 total)
Suspended armament
The Ro.57 Quadriarma can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (100 kg total)
- 2 x 100 kg SAP 100M bombs (200 kg total)
- 2 x 100 kg GP 100T bombs (200 kg total)
- 2 x 160 kg A.P 160 bombs (320 kg total)
- 1 x 250 kg GP 250 bomb + 2 x 100 kg SAP 100M bombs (450 kg total)
- 1 x 250 kg GP 250 bomb + 2 x 100 kg GP 100T bombs (450 kg total)
- 1 x 250 kg GP 250 bomb + 2 x 160 kg A.P 160 bombs (570 kg total)
- 1 x 500 kg GP 500 bomb (500 kg total)
Usage in battles
At the start of the battle, climb as high as you can. Use the air spawn to your advantage. Intercepting bombers is usually your main job as an interceptor. Head-on engagements are an option as you have good frontal armaments located in the nose. If you are engaged by a fighter, don't hesitate to turn fight. Your turn rate with combat flaps is much better than it may appear and is sometimes on par with even the Spitfire's turn rate under the right conditions. Boom and Zoom can be done but do so with extra caution as you will be chased quite easily by enemy fighters.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Lethal nose-mounted armament
- Can fly on a single-engine
- Above-average durability
- Decent speed and climb for a twin-engine aircraft of its rank
- Agile for a twin-engine aircraft
- Versatile payloads for many situations
- Relatively short take-off run
- Equipped with airbrakes, allowing for dive-bombing and easy landings
Cons:
- Limited ammunition for the cannons
- Low muzzle velocity on the Breda-SAFAT machine guns
- No armour
- Engine prone to overheating with at high power
- Bomb trapeze creates a delay between pressing the release button and the bomb actually dropping
- Carrying any payload reduces the excellent handling
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).
Devblog
Just before the outbreak of World War II, the Italian Regia Aeronautica placed an order for a heavy fighter for escorting bombers and long air patrols. The IMAM-based design group proposed a twin-engined aircraft with a pair of FIAT A.74RC.38 engines, armed with two heavy machine guns. Soon the aircraft was modified - the armament was reinforced with two 20mm cannons, an air brake was installed, and bomb armament added.
