U122946199: I killed 3 planes with defensive armament. Definitely not underwhelming.

 CANSA immediately saw the chance to save its aircraft and immediately undertook the transformation of the two prototypes.
-New versions of the F.C.20 were thus born, one of which, the '''F.C.20Bis''', was to be a a true remake of the original aircraft. The most noticeable renovations were in the fuselage, which underwent extensive structural and architectural modifications.

 The crew area was protected by armouring the front fuselage, the rear turret, the floor and the pilot's seat. The crew was reduced to only two persons: pilot and gunner-radio operator.

 ''Ground battles''
 When using the F.C.20 Bis in mixed ground battles, use the following payloads: 2 x [[SAP 100M (100 kg)|SAP 100M]] or 2 x AP 160. After spawning with the F.C.20 Bis, increase your altitude and dive to drop your bombs with greater accuracy. Set the fuse on the bombs to a minimum of 1 to 1.5 seconds.. After delivering your bombs, gain some altitude and perform dive attacks with the Breda Model 39 37/54 to shoot through the top of ground vehicles where you can easily penetrate them and cause damage or destroy them.

 The multi-role attacker '''FIAT CANSA F.C.20''' was developed by the Giacomo Mosso, an Italian aeronautic engineer, after the experience made with Ing. Rosatelli on the CR.25, he decided, in order to reduce design time, to adopt for the new aircraft the side wings, engines and undercarriage of the twin-engine FIAT.

 The armament consisted of a Breda Model 39 37/54 gun from two [[Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT]] machine guns fixed in the fighter with 350 shots each, and a [[Scotti (12.7_mm)|12.7 mm "Scotti"]] mounted in a Caproni Lanciani Delta E dorsal turret with 500 shots.
 In addition to the 250 kg wing attachments, the installation of a "Nardi" ventral splitter with 2 kg anti-personnel bombs was also planned, but it does not appear that this was installed.

 The F.C.20 Bis is an attacker, very good at its BR. At the beginning of the battle, attack ground targets or climb to altitude and attack bombers, attackers and interceptors. Your 37 mm cannon is very powerful, even one shot can destroy a plane, in fact the 37 mm cannon can be used against ground targets with armour. If an enemy plane is approaching to attack you from behind, use your rear [[Scotti (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm Scotti machine gun]] with the universal belt that contains 2 AP-I bullets and 2 API-T bullets per belt.
-Use the tracer ammunition belt that contains 4 API-T bullets per belt for the [[Breda-SAFAT (12.7 mm)|12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT]] offensive machine gun. For the [[Breda Model 39 37/54 (37 mm)|37 mm Breda Model 39 37/54]], use the air targets belt that contains 4 HEF-T bullets per belt against enemy aircraft, and the armored targets belt that contains 4 APHE bullets per belt against ground targets. The later belt is good because it has a post-penetration damage that increases the damage caused by these shots.
