I hope they are. I am looking forward to the SM79.
Any thing about WGF new planes?
I find it interesting that Ares is making a release for the Battle of Britain, but including an Italian bomber that never participated. There was an Italian bomber in the Battle of Britain, but it was the Fiat Br.20 Cicogna (Stork), not the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (Sparrowhawk).
From a playability standpoint, the Br.20 would be good for the Spanish Civil War, or as a target in BoB scenarios ("By 1942, the aircraft was mostly used for maritime patrol and operational training for bomber crews." Wikipedia). For Italian combat scenarios, having an SM.79 would be awesome ("The SM.79 was operated in various different capacities during the Second World War; initially, the type was used as a transport aircraft and medium bomber." It was used with some success as a torpedo bomber. Wikipedia). Useless for any BoB game, though.
PS: Looking through the Wikipedia entry for the Br.20, it was used almost everywhere. Spain, Middle East, Battle of France, Battle of Britain, Malta, North Africa, etc... I guess not sexy enough for the Italians?

I wonder whether the Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (Sparrowhawk) will come with some official torpedo bombing rules.
Looks good for the Ju 88. I have 4 Sm 79's, 3 Br 20's and 4 CantZ twin tails (all AIM models). I know the Italians did have planes in the BoB but fighters (G50's from what I saw) from what I have seen.
