| This page is about the Italian fighter C. 205 serie 3. For other versions, see C.205 serie 1 and C.205N2. |
Description
The C. 205 serie 3 is a rank IV Italian fighter
with a battle rating of 5.3 (AB), 4.7 (RB), and 4.0 (SB). This fighter was introduced in Update 1.69 "Regia Aeronautica" along with the initial Italian aviation tree.
The C.205 serie 3 is a refinement of the C.205 serie 1, which was a development of the C.202. The serie 3 addresses the main issue of the C.202, which is it's highly underwhelming firepower. The wings now each hold a 20 mm MG151/20 cannon which accompany what used to be the primary armament, 2 x 12.7 mm machine guns mounted above the engine cowling. Other improvements include the replacement of the Daimler-benz 601 with the more powerful DB 605. The upgraded engine gives the C.205 enough performance to keep up with its armament and battle rating.
General info
Flight Performance
The aircraft has a very good roll rate and generally good acceleration both in level flight and when diving. Overall handling is good and energy retention in level flight and in the vertical is very good. Control lock up starts with the rudder past 500 - 550 kph with the test of the control surfaces steadily locking up past 600 - 650 kph. Players should make sure to leave enough altitude to pull out of a steep dive. The control lockup prevents the wings from tearing due to excessive G-force. The engine maintains alot of power even past 5,000 metres and takes a while to overheat.
For Full real control pilots, the left wing is slightly longer than the right to counter the torque of the engine. This can cause the aircraft to roll to the side even when making a slight change in pitch.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The C. 205 serie 3 is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm MG 151/20 cannons, wing-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT da 12.7 mm machine guns, Mounted above the engine cowling (400 rpg = 800 total)
Usage in battles
The ability of the aircraft to do alot of things well gives the pilot many options when engaging opponents. Side climbing is advised as many of the C.205s adversaries, most notably Spitfires and Yak 3s, can outclimb it. Once at around 5,000 - 6,000 metres Boom and zoom tactics should be used against fighters bellow you. However the excellent armament means that you can stay at altitude and hunt down any pesky bombers which didn't decide to climb. While not a dedicated turn fighter, the C.205 can still compete in dogfights with good flap and throttle control.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good for BnZ
- Good performance above 4,000 m (13,000 ft)
- Good armament (especially when using air targets belt)
- Great ammunition pool
- Can be used as interceptor against bombers
- Relativly tough
Cons:
- Average climb rate means it can find itself below or at equal altitude to the enemy
- Very sluggish at low speed
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
