i would like to suggest the first true italian jet-powered aircraft. The Fiat G.80

The Fiat G.80 was a trainer jet-powered aircraft. the long cockpit was allowing a pilot and a trainee to sit in tandem. how ever a ground attaker version was designed out of the same aircraft.the aircraft was developed in 1943.  the first prototype flew in december 1951 and was produced in little quantity in and was retired in 1955.

the Fiat G.81 was later designed and meant to be faster due to his more powerful but it was cancelled in favor of the next varriant.

a variant of the aircraft with a better engine was built in 1954. it was the Fiat G.82 which was built for a NATO competition in the hope to obtain contract from the entire NATO. another variant of the G82 was designed to be a ground attacker.

 

Fiat designed 2 varriant of the G.80s who was ment to be ground attacker. neither of those version was produced but the design was so simple that any G.80 could be converted to ground attacker. the ground attacker simply had additional hardpoints in the wing to 8x HVAR rocket or 2x 230kg bombs. the trainer plane came with 2x 12.7mm M3 mg.

maybe more in BR 7.0/3, right before the Fiat g.91

something to reduce the big gap between the tier 4 and 5.
