-The CR.42 flew the first time in May 1938 and entered service in early 1939. The specifics were sent at the same time though from the Ministry so, since Rosatelli and Gabrielli (the two engineers working on the CR 42 and G.50 respectively) worked at the same time i placed them where they are counting the technologies involved. The CR.42 isn't that far technology wise from the tier IIIs currently available and the CR.42 itself is just the final preset
May be, may be...
And I prefer form like this:
1) Picture
2) Firts flight
3) Airframe (need to choose) - basic, top
4) engine - basic, semitop, top
5) main armament
6) additional armament
7) maximum velocity
8) Sources
And tier 3 for Fiat is looking like this way:
Fiat CR.40 - but Wargaming use opposite: final airframe first. It means, that it may be called CR.42 with basic airframe CR.40
Fist flight - 1934
Airframe - basic CR.40, top - CR.42ter. Because in game it's maximum number of airframe modules. Differences - straight wing (CR.40 use gull-wing), another fin and others. And CR.41 may be premium - about this I'll talk later.
But variant Bis is acceptable: is the differences between it nad Ter in armament only?
Engines - when more modules, then more player spend time in game
. Basic Bristol Mercury V with 525 hp, semitop Fiat A.59R (You know - on CR.40bis) with 700 hp, top Fiat A.74 RC:38: 840 hp.
Yes, You are right here - but we can use 3 engines
Armament - basic 2X12,7 mm sinchronized, top (42ter) - 2X12.7 mm sinch. plus 2X12,7 mm wing. Am I right? You 've written about only 7,7 mm wing. But Wiki talks about 12,7 mm in wing.
Powerful armament! 
Additional armament - only on 42: 2X100 kg under wing. But I'm sure, that 2X50 kg can be used - and we have faster aircraft. Amazing! CR.40 (42) can carry more bombs than grumman or Mitsubishi (2X45 kg or 2X30 kg). Imbalanced aircraft
Maximum speed - basic 378 kmph, semitop 388 kmph, top - 441 kmph. Superb aircraft - 3-th tier light fighters have 360-405 (basic) – 440-455 (top).

Premium CR.41 - is it true, that it used 2X20 mm sinch.? And maximum speed was 405 kmph.

-The G.55 and G.56 had just an issue: we never had the improved versions of DB 605 and DB 603 engines respectively. For those i'm considering the possibilty to use the versions currently available for the Germans. Both planes are able to handle the improvements of their respective engines and both would become much better overall. Think about the G.55 with the final engine of the 109G (2000 horse power) and the G.56 with the second engine of the Ta.152 (2300 horse power). In theory makes sense: both were liked by the Germans so it's plausible that they would have mounted better engines.
Agree, but there is no choice.

-2x30 mm is fairly weak for a GAA, that's true, but the G.91R is a work horse able to carry up to 2000 kg of payload (4x500 kg bombs). I guess that the larger payload can easily compensate the lack of punch. The 4x12.7 mm machine guns on the prototype will be a bit weak but nothing major, counting the fact that it's compensated by a better performance.
MAXIMUM EXTERNAL PAYLOAd isn't importnant for light fighter!!! I hate fighters with bombs in battle!
Their purpose is to destroy enemy's aircraft, not ground targets!!
It means that we need powerful armament.
Yes, rockets are good (you can check may game profile on russian server
) - but it is finite...

-Doesn't change the fact that there isn't much between the 403 and the jets designed after WWII. SAI has the same problem of the French: relatively good amount of planes in low and high tiers but without any design to connect the two.
Agree, but we need to find only ONE aircraft, for 8-th tier, because we have a lot of Ambrosini projects. See here again.

The Ca.165 turned like a brick, that's why it was discarded. In any case if it gives problem it could be easily discarded from the tree and implemented as premium. Probably it's the best option but, as for now, i'll leave it where it is (it takes nothing to copy / paste on the premium section ^ ^)
Yes, it is the one variant istead of Ca.301.

-The Reggiane never had something related to this plane, it was never involved in such design (assuming it's true). Longhi did it all by himself and, since he said that the Re.2007 was true, i tend not to believe him unless proven otherwise (the Reggiane stated something similar)
May be yes - I've seen, that it was called as Caproni Re.2008. But there is information, that there was aerodinamic model also. I'm sure it was really project.
But Re.2007 was made to convince Americans that 2008 was based on Italian project and not on F-86 Sabre. I trust Merinda.
