It was an improvement of the SM.88, a similar aircraft. The aircraft was powered by two German Daimler-Benz 605 engines. Development of the prototype was slow, being finished in 1943 and tested in 1944. The aircrafts performance was below expectations, and the prototype was damaged after an Axis pilot in a C.205 mistook the prototype for an American P-38 Lightning and engaged it. The aircraft was grounded for repairs and destroyed on the ground due to Allied bombing.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.87 "Locked On"]]. The SM.92 is a decent jack of all trades, it has good offensive and suspended armament, a decent climb rate with air spawn and average agility. The aircraft is more ideal for boom and zoom tactics in case of air combat, due to its offensive armament a short well placed burst is enough to destroy most fighters, and the armament is also sufficient to engage bombers at high altitudes. For ground battles the 2 x 500KG bombs can destroy any target in sight, even heavy tanks, so you can attack ground units and then switch to intercept enemy bombers or ground attackers.

 In Ground RB and Naval RB, you can do dive attacks or sea level attacks on ships behind cover
-For a dive attack, climb  to the altitude of 2,000 m, dive to increase your speed and drop the bombs to the enemy ground vehicles, use 1,5 secs of time fuse.

-The {{PAGENAME}} is an Italian twin-engine fighter/bomber prototype designed and produced in 1943. It utilized two imported German Daimler-Benz 605 engines. It was designed to have better performance than its predecessor, the SM.91. The middle gondola was eliminated and the cockpit for the crew of two, the pilot and the gunner, was moved behind the left engine. The gunner remotely operated a fixed 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine gun located in the aircraft's tail.

-After you climbed at 3,000 m, chase enemy bombers: attack them frontally or from. If there are enemy fighters under you, do a boom and zoom attack on them, you can use combat flaps for more manoeuvrability. But your flaps have a rip speed of 535 km/h so don't destroy them or you'll lose speed and manoeuvrability. There are some enemy fighters that you can't easily kill easily because are very manoeuvrable and will evade your BnZ attacks (for example "Zeros" A6M2/A6M5 and Spitfires). In that case, use your attacks as deterrent to prevent them from reaching your altitude.
