Armaments
Offensive armament
The G.55 serie 1 is armed with:
- 1 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon (250 rpg = 250 total)
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151 cannon (200 rpg = 400 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun (300 rpg = 600 total)
The two of the cannons are each mounted in wing. A single 20 mm cannon is mounted in the nose of the aircraft, firing through the propeller hub. The two machine guns are nose mounted, positioned between the pilot and the engine of the aircraft. If fired continuously, the wing mounted cannons will run out of ammunition before the nose-mounted cannon.
Usage in the 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 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).
