Description

GarageImage SM.92.jpg


The SM.92 is a rank III Italian attacker with a battle rating of 4.0 (AB/RB) and 4.3 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.87 "Locked On".

The SM.92 was an italian twin-engine fighter/bomber prototype designed and produced on 1943. It had 2 import Daimler-Benz 605 engines. It was designed to have better performance that its predecesor, the SM.91. The middle gondola got removed and the crew of two, the pilot and the gunner, were moved behind the left engine. The gunner remotley opperated a fixed 12.7mm Breda-Safat machine gun in the tail.

It had an armament of 3 20mm MG 151 autocannons and 4 12.7mm Breda-Safat machine guns.

In-game this plane can reach over 16m/s of climb rate, and with its airspawn, that is enough to get a sufficient altitude once engagements start

General info

Flight Performance

The SM.92 has a better performance that its predecesor, despite the engines staying the same. It has been made much more aeordynamic with the removal of the gondola on the SM.91 and the moving of the crew to the left fuselage, behind one of the 2 powerful Daimler-Benz 605A1 engines. Part of this improvement is also due to the change on the defensive armament, changing from a 20mm cannon with decent traverse to an aerodynamically mounted fixed 12.7mm Breda-Safat

This plane also has leading edge slats, which help it on its roll rate (as they get deployed on one wing when doing a roll maneuver) and its low speed performance.

Armaments

Offensive armament

The SM.92 is armed with:

  • 2 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, centre-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)
  • 1 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon, mounted in right propeller hub (300 rpg)
  • 4 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, nose-mounted (350 rpg = 1,400 total)

Suspended armament

The SM.92 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:

  • Without load
  • 6 x 50 kg GP 50 bombs (300 kg total)
  • 6 x 100 kg GP 100 bombs (600 kg total)
  • 2 x 250 kg GP 250 bombs (500 kg total)
  • 2 x 500 kg GP 500 bombs (1,000 kg total)

Defensive armament

Main article: Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)

The SM.92 is defended by:

  • 1 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun, tail turret (350 rpg)

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:

  • Lots of guns that can be brought to use

Cons:

  • Defensive turret is almost fixed (only ±2° in each direction); the target has to be at exact 6 o'clock to be engaged
  • Bad acceleration-rate, even when diving

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).
