Description
The CR.32 quater is a Rank I Italian fighter
with a battle rating of 1.0 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.69 "Regia Aeronautica".
The C.R.32 quater fights usually at low to medium altitude, the recommended fight altitude is around 1,000-3,000 meters. Flying above ground level gives you the advantage of diving on your enemies, and you can also dive to avoid incoming fighters.
For a reserve plane, it is one of the best. It does lack armour for the pilot, meaning new players should focus on increasing the pilot's health. Its 2 x 12.7 mm (.50cal) guns are one of the most powerful armaments in reserve planes, just behind the Ba.65 (K.14)L.
It has plenty of ammo, 350 RPG, which is enough to kill at least 2 planes. Its armament is also enough to kill a pilot in a single hit, which is similar to the P.26 peashooter. It is, however, trading some manoeuvrability for superb diving capability. It can not turn fight Ki-10, I-15 and is comparable to a fury. It can fight pretty much anything it faces, sometimes needing the help of a teammate.

- Surprisingly good turning against bigger fighters
Cons:
- Turns less than some biplanes it faces
- Has a relatively small ammo pool, Firing in short burst is very recommended
- No protection for the pilot
