[olife]

first thanks soviet ace for this thread about french planes( i m french!lol!)
the fighters:
during the battle of france the best fighter was the dewoitine d 520 who was as good as the bf109 e and better than the bf109d
werner molders the famous german ace was shooted down by a d520,but not a lot of d520 in the skies of france...
the ms 406 can be a good fighter in the tight turns but too slow.
the mb151/152(bloch 151/152)were a good fighters with a good fire power and very solid but lightly slow and had a ridiculous combat range.a the end of the battle of france the blochs 152 had destroyed 150 ennemies planes (80 mb152 were destroyed cause of ennemy fire)
the caudron c714 was a fighter too light and totaly bad but it paticipated in the fights because of the bad situation of the french forces.
french air force used also the american curtiss hawk 75 and the nederland koolhoven fk 58
the potez631 ,a twin engine fighter (it resemble a lot to bf 110)was the "french zerstorer" but too slow.potez 631 serve in the french air force night and day fighters group
exept the d520 the french figthers were too slow.but french pilots fight until the end with courage ,they destroyed with the raf pilots 1000 germans planes during the battle of france.
the famous german ace adolf galland talk about the frenchies pilots with a great respect.
to finish a lot of french planes were not finished and not ready for the fights
nice addition to bop!!!!!!!!!!!!
