Specifications and performance figures

Some of the figures in "Design and development" don't agree with those in the "Specifications" section, so a tidy in this area will wait until this has been addressed. -- Red Sunset 11:42, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Because there is a mess about this numbers. The confusion made by: C.205V, 205V srs III, 205 N1 and N2 more over herrors and so on is quite difficult to spell, but i rely on the recent sources and the pruning of herrors often seen in the cross controls. Climb are one of the most difficult to explain: Veltros climbed to 6k in 5'56, 7' or 5'30. Lukily Sgarlato done good job to explain how these figures should be interpreted (7 min is for Srs III at combat power, 5'56 for srs I with WEP). It is even uncertain if G.50 climbed at 6k in 7 or 11 min (7'03 or 703?). Surely i don't believe in a MC202 faster in climb than 205 in the same conditions.--Stefanomencarelli 23:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

After the Atmistice

"C.205s and around 100 Veltros" ? Shouldn't that be C.202s and around 100 Veltros ? Dirk P Broer 17:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that too and was not sure what the original edit meant so I left it alone. FWIW Bzuk 20:07, 7 September 2007 (UTC).

G.55s amd around 100 Veltros--Stefanomencarelli 23:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Having checked back to the original contribution, I've removed the misleading mention of the C.205s in addition to Veltros which was my error. Apologies to all. --Red Sunset 11:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Engine

The article states that the Macchi C.205 was "built around the powerful Daimler-Benz DB 605 engine." However, as the specifications section indicates, it was powered by the Fiat RA.1050 R.C.58 Tifone engine - a license-built version of the DB 605. I suggest the article say it was designed around the DB 605.Sca (talk) 18:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC) Macchi C.202

illogical

"In fact, the Veltro used the same wing as the earlier Folgore but its weight had increased from 2,350 kg (5,180 lb) to 3,408 kg (7,515 lb) and the wing loading from 142 kg/m² (29 lb/ft²) to 203 kg/m² (41 lb/ft²)." this is write but 2.350 kg is empty weight for 202 and 3408 kg is total weight for 205 so the article compare apples with oranges — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.234.219.217 (talk) 18:54, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Wording

I suspect that "poor Italian industrial capability" really means "low Italian industrial capacity", in which case it should be reworded. Srnec (talk) 02:55, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
