Other qualities such as?[/QUOTE

1. Faster climber.
2. Faster acceleration in the dive.
3. Close to twice the ammunition.
4. No figures yet, but probably rolls much quicker.
5. Beautiful piece of machinery, a Ferrari of the skies:cool:.

But still, in the Pacific, it could only be a point defense interceptor.

Keep in mind that the Spitfire comparison was Minguzzi's opinion and not from
direct comparison trials.
Taken from Spitfire into Battle. which is a collection of memories written by former RAF Capt. Duncan Smith:

"The Re.2005 'Sagittario' was a potent aircraft. Having had a dog-fight with one of them, I am convinced we would have been hard pressed to cope in our Spitfires operationally, if the Italians or Germans had had a few Squadrons equipped with these aircraft at the beginning of the Sicily campaign or in operations from Malta. Fast, and with excellent maneuverability, the Re.2005 was altogether a superb airplane. Neither the Macchi 205 nor the Bf 109G measured up to the capabilities of the Re.2005 series in maneuverability or rate of climb. I think it was easily the best aircraft Italy produced".
