It is the first italian jet powered plane. It could be a great plane for the game.

funky! looks like a job for dr. Franken....

a "great" plane...
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campini-Caproni_C.C.2

Compared to a classic of the time: the MC 200

too complicated.
one engine and one big  compressor... how do you maintain a squadron of these in the field?

too damn slow ,
not even 400 km/h WITH afterburner. 350 without.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZL_P.11
PZL11 is faster... ?

manoeavrability?
4,2 tons compared to 2,6 of the MC200...

I wish they had built more of those... The Italians would potentially have failed to invade the balkans.

it was worse than all the standard Italian Fighterplanes, including the Falco.

great?
Great, at least to me is ,,, different?

What is intriguing about her, is the wing shape...
the designers clearly hoped to achieve a MUCH faster speed (double?), so they made the outer wings thin, while keeping the inner parts thick (to preserver slow handling and landing speeds?)
and in plan View it had similar proportins as the heinkel He-70 / spitfire group...

This was nothing more than a "proof-of-concept" plane for the thermojet engine. A practical implementation would also have a propeller being driven by the piston engine serving as a compressor for the "jet" engine and would look something like this:


Ca.183bis mixed propulsion high altitude interceptor

Notice the similarity to the MiG-13/I-250 we already have in the game as well as the Ryan FR-1 Fireball although the latter didn't utilize thermojet power but instead had fully separate piston and jet engines.

Always wanted to fly this, but He-178 is way better, and this thing is slow, heavy and un-manouverable.

There was another project, the Re 2005R, with DB 605,  a small fiat engine behind the pilot as compressor for high altitude and a combustion chamber in the tail feed with air from this compressor. Sorry I have no images.It was to be inplemented in the Re 2006.
