It is French.  Probably the best French fighter of WWII and had the highest one month production totals of any aircraft in WWII.

What does that mean?

You forget....

Doesn't mean it could do jack squat

I remember in "The Royal Air Force at War" it mentions a sortie of a single hurricane over France as the war opened. It was attacked by about half a dozen of these and none of them touched it.


If six of the buggers can't take a single hurc mk1 when they have the advantage, I don't want it in AH2, lmao!

Krusty,

Not true. The D.520 gave a very good accounting of itself in the Battle of France.

IIRC it could do 320mph and was armed with one Hispano MK I 20mm cannon and two 7.7mm machine guns.

D.520 fits in nicely with other 1940-era aircraft.  It also saw some use resisting operation TORCH against F4F's if I'm not mistaken.


It would be hopelessly outclassed in the MA but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be added.   I think it would be a good thing to add.

rgr that siad it was used by germans and italians aswell would be good historical fighter:aok:aok

Necessary for battle of France scenarios.
A good addition for early North African  scenarios, then fighting for the other side (Vichy)
An addition for Finland (They had some)
Remember, this is a very nimble early-war plane with a nose Cannon....

Angus,
Finland had no D.520 but MS.406s.

Devotine D520 used during Battle of france , get several victories.
This picture show D520 captured by LW and used for tranning in many LW traning units ( about 100 of them).
