It was introduced in [[Update 1.85 "Supersonic"]]. The Re.2001 serie 1 is a lot like the [[C.202]], other than having different, slower-to-lower/retract landing gear, a different engine that overheats a bit more quickly, and worse armour. The Re.2001 is also a tad more manoeuvrable, with a turn time (upgraded) of 18 seconds, versus the C.202's upgraded turn time of 21.4 seconds. Additionally, the Re.2001 has a worse climb rate and is slower. Thanks to all of this, the Re.2001 should be played similarly to the C.202. Just be careful, as you have worse armour. |

This page is about the Italian fighter Re.2001 serie 1. For other versions, see Re.2001 (Family). |
Description
The Re.2001 serie 1 is a rank II Italian fighter
with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB/RB) and 2.3 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.85 "Supersonic". The Re.2001 serie 1 is a lot like the C.202, other than having different, slower-to-lower/retract landing gear, a different engine that overheats a bit more quickly, and worse armour. The Re.2001 is also a tad more manoeuvrable, with a turn time (upgraded) of 18 seconds, versus the C.202's upgraded turn time of 21.4 seconds. Additionally, the Re.2001 has a worse climb rate and is slower. Thanks to all of this, the Re.2001 should be played similarly to the C.202. Just be careful, as you have worse armour.
General info
Flight performance
Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour
- 8 mm Steel - Pilot's seat
- 8 mm Steel - Armoured plate behind the pilot
- Critical components located at the front of aircraft (pilot, engine, controls)
- More fuel tanks located in wings near the fuselage
- Fuel tank in the fuselage behind the pilot
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Re.2001 serie 1 is armed with:
- 2 x 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, nose-mounted (350 rpg = 700 total)
- 2 x 7.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, wing-mounted (600 rpg = 1,200 total)
Usage in battles
The Re.2001 should be played as a Boom & Zoom fighter, as your armament is a bit lacking against armoured planes, but when incendiary rounds are loaded, this plane can be very effective against unarmoured planes. Avoid head-ons, as you lack any armour in the front whatsoever, leaving your pilot, engine and other vital components vulnerable.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Adept turning ability - capable of competing with Spitfires
- Cockpit views are exceptional and has a rear-view mirror
- Decent rate of climb
Cons:
- Engine overheats rather quickly
- Low firepower compared to its peers
- Lacks an armoured windscreen so pilot is more vulnerable to being knocked out
History
The successor to the Re.2000 was the Re.2001, which was in a class with the excellent Macchi M.C. 202, but its operational career was limited, with priority on the scarce DB 601 aircraft engines going to the other fighter. A total of 237 were built, including the original interceptor, and fighter-bomber (CB) and night fighter (CN) variants. First flight was July, 1940. It had the same wing as the Re.2000, but a new inline engine. This again led to objections by the Italian government about the wing fuel tanks. Redesign meant the first planes weren't delivered until June, 1941. It served in operational squadrons from December, 1941 until the Italian surrender.
