All the 5 series fighters were excellent, but, in terms of balance between the various performances: armament, speed, rate of climb, maneuverability, the best was the G 55; the Germans wanted to produce the G 55. a big problem was both the low industrial capacity of Italy in 1943 and the fact that all these fighters required a much higher number of construction hours than the Bf 109 G. Please note, I said balance, because individually each of them had some capabilities and defects different from the others, however production Re 2005 = 32, MC 205 252; G 55 170 negligible quantities compared to the main contenders of WW II UK, USA, USSR, Germany

The Italians as the Germans before them entered the war at least a couple of years before they were prepared. With sensible preparations they could’ve had the fuel and resource reserves to allow them to pursue war, but their leadership did not listen to their advisors, such is totalitarian. IF Italy had organised its industry it could’ve had a much better chance in the conflicts in which it participated. All aspects were disorganised and inefficient and the ‘troops’ suffered.

from italian wiki _ In February 1943, the Luftwaffe sent a mission to Italy to produce comparative tests with the brand new Italian "5 series" fighters. The German delegation compared in flight a Messerschmitt Bf-109G-4 and a Focke Wulf Fw-190A-5, the top models of the time, with the Fiat, the Reggiane 2005 and the Macchi M.C.205. Although all three Italian fighters were superior to the German ones in terms of handling and rate of climb, the Luftwaffe rated the G.55 as "excellent", the Re.2005 as "good" and the M.C.205 as "average".

In the end, the Luftwaffe's plan to equip itself with the Centauro fell through, also due to the high number of hours/work needed to build an example of the Italian fighter, equal to three times those needed to build a Bf-109.

It suffered from flutter not a stability issue.

Flutter is a stability issue: "Flutter is a dynamic instability of an elastic structure in a fluid flow, caused by positive feedback between the body's deflection and the force exerted by the fluid flow."
@neiloflongbeck5705

@@AllthingsWW2 stability means once disturb the aircraft returns to it's original flight condition. This is a standard definition across aerodynamics, in other words a stable aircraft reacts to a disturbance and then flies on as if nothing happened. It was the same definition when I graduated with my aerospace engineering degree over 30 years ago as it is today. Flutter is a self-excited structural issue, which for this aircraft only appeared in certain flight regimes. Stability issues affect all flight regimes.

@@neiloflongbeck5705 So, this answer is two fold. After checking my Principles of Flight book, I have to admit that you're correct and that flutter is indeed an aeroelastic issue, unrelated to stability (in its aeronautical definition). I don't know if my confusion comes from the fact that flutter is brought up in the stability chapter of that book, just after Phugoids and PIO (Pilot induced oscillations), which are indeed stability problems. I guess for us pilots, they do tend to simplify stuff. I also have a degree in aeronautical sciences, which makes this mistake slightly more shameful. I disagree with your definition of stability: "stability means once disturb the aircraft returns to it's original flight condition", since this doesn't account for dynamic stability, but I guess I'm going on a tangent here. So, I'll add a correction to the video description. I hope you were still able to enjoy the video anyway. Thank you for your comment.

@@AllthingsWW2 I enjoy learning about the less well know aircraft. Dynamic stability is just a description how quickly the aircraft returns to it's original flight condition, basically how quickly it dampens out any oscillation caused by a disturbance..

The "best fighters" have two, and only two, things in common: numerical superiority and superior pilots. And even the numerical superiority can be overcome by excellent pilots. That's why Finnish pilots, with a few inferior fighters, dominated the Red Air Force. Cheers!

it bafles me that the germans had all the time and resources to built buzzbombs, V2 V1 and rocketproppelled planes like the comet just to kill civilians in London, all 3 were NILL in contribution to war efford, instead putting resources to built italian designed fighter planes to defend the reich . I guess german pride played a capital role here they can't swallow it when italians do superior things than them. And they still have that envy today

I would need to see the other two 5 series to have an opinion, but seeing how the british said good thing about this aircraft it could be a good contender of that title, is interesting that this aircraft was put in the category of "to little, to late" with the FW190D series (and subsecuentuly the Ta152H), the Me262, and many other late war german aircraft, only the "what if" can be use, like what if the Dora and the 262 entered in service in 1943, is something to use in a fiction novel, but the realaty was that they came to late to change the course of the war, returning to the Re 2005, it was a beatifull aircraft, something that shouldn't be a surprice since the italians knows how to make beatifull machines
