-The Re.2001 CN "Falco II" provides an overall smooth flying experience, with a competitive turn rate, solid all-altitude performance, good elevator authority, moderate climb rate and powerful armament. However, the Falco II is plagued by several critical weaknesses. Its speed is quite lacking when compared to contemporary fighters like the [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109]], [[Spitfire (Family)|Spitfire]], and most American fighters you will encounter. It also has a relatively weak airframe and large fuel tanks which can be hit easily. The cooling system is wing-mounted and if damaged can reduce the effectiveness or even outright prevent the water-cooled inline engine from working properly.

-The Re.2001 is a very manoeuvrable plane with decent performance at all altitudes. The great MG 151s (with access to devastating minengeschoße rounds through the Air Targets belt), respectable climb rate, and good high altitude performance allow it to be an effective interceptor. With its ability to mount a single 250 kg bomb, it can also be a fighter bomber that can drop its payload and then join the furball as a regular fighter.

With its ability to mount a single 250 kg bomb, it can also be a fighter bomber that can drop its payload and then join the furball as a regular fighter.
 Generally speaking, the Breda-SAFATs have very poor ballistics from farther than 300 m, even with Air Targets belts. To make effective use of the Breda-SAFATs, they can be used as 'spotting guns' to line up shots with your MG 151s. This is critical as using as little 20 mm rounds as possible to destroy a plane is very important due to the low ammo count of only 60 rounds per gun. Ammo conservation of the MG 151 is critical, especially in RB/SB.
-[[Spitfire (Family)|Spitfires]], Yaks, and A6M Zeroes are the kings of dogfighting below 3,000 meters. If one attempts to fight you above 4,000 meters, it is recommended to either make use their low speed at altitude to Boom-&-Zoom them or try to take a risk and turnfight them. The main reason the Re.2001 CN can turn fight with Spitfires and Yaks is due to its already good manoeuvrability made better by its combat flaps and decent rudder. A6M Zeroes will be able to outmaneuver the Re.2001 CN. The most common fighters of these types you will encounter are the [[Spitfire Mk Ia]] and [[Spitfire Mk IIa|Mk IIa]], [[Yak-1 (Family)|Yak-1]], [[Yak-7B]], early [[Yak-9 (Family)|Yak-9s]] and early [[A6M (Family)|A6M Zeroes]]. Keep in mind that damaged control surfaces and engine and cooling modules will reduce the agility of the Falco II and its ability to outmaneuver enemies.

-The Reggiane Re.2001 was designed to be a replacement for the failed Re.2000, and did away with the weak Piaggio P.IX radial, in favour of a new, more powerful R.A.1000RC.41-1a Inline (which was a fiat built, more powerful and reliable DB 601A, the same engine used in the early BF 109's). Other than the engine and shape of the nose, there were no real notable changes between the Falco I and Falco II. The Falco II retained a fairly similar fuselage and even kept the entire tail unit. While considered to be equal to the Macchi MC.202, the MC.202 had the first call on the R.A.1000, and the Re.2001 was delayed by several design changes the Italian army insisted on, giving the MC.202 almost a full year head-start on its rival, leading to more Macchi fighters being produced than Reggiane fighters.

 Despite its late introduction and production issues, it received a mostly positive reception from the Italian pilots, as it was proven to be a thorn in the side of Spitfire and Hurricane pilots. Jack Rae, the best New Zealand Spitfire pilot, exclaimed that the Re.2001 he encountered was a surprisingly dangerous opponent, saying that he almost "spun off" twice while trying to pursue him and found it hard to get an excellent shot on the Italian plane.

Generally speaking, don't use the Breda-SAFAT's as main weapons, as they have very poor ballistics from farther than 300 meters. To make effective use of the Breda's, use them as scouting weapons to line up shots with your MG 151, as using as little 20 mm rounds as possible to destroy a plane is very important due to the low ammo count.
+The Re.2001 is a very maneuverable plane with decent performance at all altitudes. The great MG 151's (with access to devastating Air Targets belts), respectable climb rate, and good high altitude performance allow it to be an effective interceptor, but due to its ability to mount a single 250 kg bomb, it can be a fighter bomber that can drop its payload and then join the furball as a regular fighter. Generally speaking, don't use the Breda-SAFAT's as main weapons, as they have very poor ballistics from farther than 300 meters and are woefully ineffective at the plane's BR on their own, even with Air Targets belts. To make effective use of the Breda-SAFAT's, use them as scouting weapons to line up shots with your MG 151, as using as little 20 mm rounds as possible to destroy a plane is very important due to the low ammo count of only 60 per gun, making ammo conservation of the 20 mm's critical, especially in RB/SB.
-Be sure to avoid Spitfires and Yak's at low altitudes as they are the kings of dogfighting below 3,000 meters. If one attempts to fight you above 4,000 meters, either make use of their weak airframes and low speed at altitude to Boom-&-Zoom them or try to take a risk and turn fight them. The main reason the Re.2001 can turn fight with Spitfires and Yaks is due to its already good manoeuvrability made better by its combat flaps and decent rudder. The most common ones you will encounter are Spitfire Mk Ia and Mk IIa's and Yak-1's, Yak-7's and early Yak-9's.

As of update 1.91, it is the second-last Reggiane aircraft available for research (the last being the [[Re.2005 serie 0]]) and provides a notable upgrade over the previous models with the inclusion of two [[MG 151/20 (20 mm)]] cannons mounted in the wings in place of the underwhelming 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT's.
