About the aircraft

The G.91 R/4 is described as a maneuverable fighter suited to both dogfighting and ground support, capable of carrying rockets, air-to-ground missiles, bombs, and incendiary tanks. Compared to the R/3 variant, the R/4 trades heavier forward-firing armament for four machine guns and gains access to AA-20 Nord and AIM-9B Sidewinder air-to-air missiles.

Historically, the G.91 served with the Italian Air Force, the West German Luftwaffe, and the Portuguese Air Force, remaining operational from 1961 to 1995.

For players considering either nation's aviation tree, the three-day window offers a meaningful reduction on a premium aircraft with a documented dual-role loadout.
