The French Bloch MB.150 series of fighters could be fun.

Looks neat! The one pictured at the top looks very 190-esque. :salute

Reading the background on that plane was rather depressing. :huh

I've been wanting a French A/C for awhile but with so few to see service it is depressing as Arlo says, to see this one not meet the requirements(I think) 2 hispanos on anything is nice to have.

Anyone noticed the engine is mounted with quite a bit of left hand direction to it?
Oh! Both of the gunsights had something in common with the reticle. There were two reticle. One was a fixed arrangement of rings with 8 rays that were open slots with a small rectangular opening to show a kmp speed marker. The second could be rotated using the big dial on the front of each gunsight example. This corresponded with speeds the pilot expected his target to be flying at in kph. So he would dial the second reticle around until the kph he wanted showed through. This would then reveal rays with hold off dots for holding lead against a target traveling at the given speed.
Here so you don't get headachs trying to visualize this:
Those rings and ends of the rays, are the classic "Bag the Hun" 5, 10, 20, 30 degree angle to your line of travel. One BIG gunsight reticle.

Leans like my willy.

Leans like my willy.
I could have gone the rest of my life not hearing that.

Never-the-less, your life is richer for it. Maybe not. Hopefully not poorer. Don't taze me, bro.

Pretty cool. Too bad the French were too busy infighting.

Now that we have the willy jokes out of the way......... We see mounting angles of incidence in the Spit14 nose down of the griffon engine and the F6f R2800. The idea that a 1050hp engine needs that much left hand incidence to counter torque. That version of Gnome is only a bit hotter than the version in the Hs-129.
The MB 150 was the original test of concept.
MB.150
Single MB.150.01 prototype powered by a single Gnome-Rhône 14N-07
The MB 152 C was the production aircraft.
MB.152
MB.152.01 prototype and MB.152.C1 up-rated production versions produced in parallel with 151.C1, powered by 1,050hp Gnome-Rhône 14N-25 engines. (482 built)
There were less than 40 of any subsequent versions produced.
