[Development] Reggiane Re.2005: The Winged Archer

The Re.2005 is a late war Italian fighter design, highly praised for its excellent performance and often considered as one of the best axis fighters of WWII. Despite only seeing limited production and service, the much anticipated Re.2005 Sagittario will soon become available to all pilots in War Thunder with the release of the upcoming update 1.91!

Development on the Re.2005 began in 1941, with the preliminary design work already being completed by the end of the year, despite the fact that the aircraft was a completely new design and independent of previous Reggiane projects. The Re.2005 was part of Italy’s Serie 5 fighter program, and like the competing G.55 and C.205, was meant to be fitted with the Daimler-Benz DB605 engine or its respective Italian licence-built version - the FIAT RA.1050 RC.58 Tifone.





Be sure to add the Re.2005 to your hangar as it becomes available to all pilots with the release of the upcoming update 1.91. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news to be kept in the loop about any further developments concerning the next major update coming to the game very soon. Until then, clear skies pilots!
