the Patrouille d'Etampes that will be in charge of evacuating 1 and 7) were used Somewhat underarmed compared to the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the VG-33 matched it in speed and manoeuvrability and was somewhat faster than the Dewoitine D.520. Join us Although the aircraft’s assembly process was fairly quick, shortages in raw materials, such as that of the essential plywood, severely delayed production. To solve the outstanding engine issues, two further prototypes (VG.31 and VG.32), equipped with differing engines, were built. Although the Arsenal VG-33 was lighter than the Dewoitine D.520 and used the same engine, the Arsenal VG-33 was not significantly faster than the D.520. in the list below : The At first glance I was wondering why the 3D models were so poorly made, but I was wrong. In terms of offensive armaments, the VG.33 will not let down its future pilots either. 589 likes. Both aircraft were developed in accordance to the specifications set by the French Air Ministry in 1936, calling for new light fighter aircraft designs which could quickly be assembled and at low cost, in hopes of rapidly increasing the number of fighters available to French pilots. © 2020 by Gaijin Games Kft.

These production problems, coupled with the subsequent invasion and occupation of France in 1940, meant that the VG.33 never managed to be produced in high numbers. Additionally, even airframes which were completely assembled had to frequently remain on the factory floor for some time, until the required Hispano-Suiza engines became available. but 7 series aircraft declared "Good for war" were collected by Éditions D.T.U These production problems, coupled with the subsequent invasion and occupation of France in 1940, meant that the VG.33 never managed to be produced in high numbers. Lovely aircraft :) Will the D.520/D.521 and DB-7 from the British tree be placed in the French tree? Thanks to its aerodynamics, it was certainly faster than the Dewoitine D520, with a less powerful engine, but its wooden cell probably made it more fragile. PLZ! The Arsenal VG-33, studied by two engineers Michel Vernisse and Jean Galtier (hence the initials "VG"), is made from non-strategic materials, Veneered and painted plywood. Nice, really love all these unique camos on those french planes. Stay tuned to the news to find out more about the new additions and changes coming with the next update!
