-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was an Italian fighter floatplane developed by IMAM as a single seat variant of the IMAM Ro.43 reconnaissance plane. It underwent its first flight in October 1936. Unlike the Ro.43, the main armament was changed from two 7.7 mm machine guns to two 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns in the nose. The tail aswell as the rear fuselage where observer was stationed previously were redesigned. The Ro.44 shared same issues like the Ro.43 it was developed from such as problems with buoyancy and sea-handling issues due to the lightweight design and structure. Out of 51 ordered, only 35 were built and they were used solely in Aegean sea with 161 Squadriglia. It was retired from frontlines and sent to seaplane schools shortly after start of WWII.

-The Ro.44 was introduced in [[Update "Sky Guardians"]], finally equipping all the naval nations with at least 1 [[:Category:Hydroplanes|seaplane]] to use, although many are not regular tree units. Its ability to capture naval points will make it invaluable for naval players. The plane itself is no match for other reserve biplanes such as He-51, or I-15 that outperform the Ro.44 in both speed and manoeuverability.

 The Ro.44 fulfils the role of a dogfighter in battles, boasting fantastic low speed handling (down to as low as 130 km/h) which often gives it the edge in low-rank dogfights. Its powerful armament of twin 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns (a rare armament at such a low BR) usually means it can quickly dispose of enemy aircraft. Against faster monoplane enemies such as the P-36, P-400 or MiG-3, you'll want to enter the fight with an altitude advantage and convert that to speed, giving you enough time to cripple the enemy aircraft even if they choose to use their speed advantage and extend.
 In Simulator battles, the Ro.44 currently uses an identical cockpit model to the CR.32, so there are discrepancies between the cockpit model and the actual layout of the aircraft. The Italian floatplane also handles terribly in Simulator mode, having a constant pitch up attitude analogous to having full flaps extended on any other aircraft. Combined with having no trim, the Ro.44 is tiresome to fly in simulator battles, and currently also has poor forward-facing visibility from the cockpit.
