For historical information, Wikipedia has an article on Reggiane Re.2000.

The Reggiane Re.2000 is an Italian fighter.

Description[]

The Re.2000 is armed with two 12.7mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns. Because of several shortcomings, it was rejected by Regia Aeronautica, which deployed only a few of these fighters in the Mediterranean area early in the war.

But the fighter also has been exported to Hungary, which also acquired the license for production. These aircraft were called the MÁVAG Héja I (Italian production) and Héja II (Hungarian production). They saw extensive service at the eastern front as interceptors.

Trivia[]

  • The model was originally intended as part of Hungarian Front mini-mod for Forgotten Hope, a Battlefield 1942 modification. But due to abandonment of the mini-mod, most of its content were passed on to several BF1942 mods, including BattleGroup42.
  • Although the render was formally showcased for FINAL Release Candidate 1, it has been available since version 1.8 Open BETA and can be accessible to debugger executable in order to spawn the aircraft.
