The Ansaldo SVA 5

A surprisingly good plane with this being the only one on simple planes (as of 2025)

The Ansaldo SVA 5 was created in 1917 by ansaldo and was one of the finer Italian aircraft. It was surprisingly well recieved and over 1000 were built. Originally conceived as a fighter, the SVA was found inadequate for that role. Its impressive speed, range and operational ceiling, with its top speed making it one of the fastest of all Allied combat aircraft of the war, gave it the right properties to be an excellent reconnaissance aircraft and even light bomber. Production of the aircraft continued well after the war, the final examples were delivered during 1918.

Stats

This particular one is a fighter variety with Italian livery.
215 km/h max speed (like the real one)
2 machine guns
Take off speed is about 120-140km/h
Stall speed is about 110 km/h
Landing speed is about 120km/h (or slower)

overall, it has amazing handling, turning is abit slow but it can dogfight decently.

(Don't except too much it's a ww1 plane)
