Survivability and armour
- 8mm of steel in the nose in front of the pilot
- 8mm of steel in the floor of the cockpit
- 8mm of steel of the pilot seat
- 8mm of steel in rear fuselage
- 38mm bulletproof glass in front of pilot
- Self-sealing fuel tanks (2 in each wing)
Armaments
Offensive armament
The F.C.20 Bis is armed with:
- 1 x 37 mm Breda Model 39 37/45 cannon, nose-mounted (42 rpg)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, wing-mounted (350 rpg = 700 total)
Suspended armament

- Without load
- 2 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (100 kg total)
- 2 x 100 kg GP 100 bombs (200 kg total)
- 2 x 100 kg SAP 100 bombs (200 kg total)

Defensive armament
The F.C.20 Bis is defended by:
- 1 x 12.7 mm Scotti machine gun, turret (650 rpg)
Usage in battles
The F.C.20 Bis isn't great fighting against other planes, but if you attack a unaware enemy when you have the opportunity, take advange of the 37mm cannon with HE rounds to take out the objective quikly and run out of the scene. When attacking ground targets use APHE rounds with 37mm cannon to pen the roof of heavy armored targets or destroy the light armored ones, the 160kg bombs are decent at taking out enemies

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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).
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:
