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

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
  • Decent armament (3 x 20 mm cannons)
  • Large amount of ammo (800 rounds total)
  • Great rate of climb
  • Decent maneuverability
  • Good to great performance across all altitudes

Cons:

  • Overheats easily on WEP when using AEC (automatic engine controls) as it's consistently using Take-off power setting
  • Plane locks up at very high speeds.
  • Open radiator has a large impact on top speed, slower than some common opposition planes

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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