Used extensively across the war, this small reconnaissance aircraft was also used for ground attack, liaison, and much more. Though their non-reconnaissance variants usually performed sub par in the Mediterranean Theatre, they ended up being popular amongst other countries for it’s low cost and sturdiness.

Another break plane! I based this off of the Ca.310 family because the aircraft included in it looked pretty neat to me. This specific plane is a ground attack variant, but I made a few more variants along with this one. It has two Bomb 250's, two forward firing wing guns, custom gear, and a movable turret that rotates horizontally. I had figured out how to XML the gun so that it shot through the vertical stabilizer over the break (this was implemented on the Coleus), so that was how I was able to pull that off. It's very maneuverable on the pitch axis, and can even fight a few of my fighters in a somewhat equal dogfight. It's definitely one of my favorite planes I've created so far.

AG1 to activate the turret.

(BTW, I have a big plane coming up so I decided to post this in the meantime)
