Description
The V.G.33C-1 is a Rank II French fighter
with a battle rating of 3.0 (AB) and 2.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France".
The V.G.33 can adequately deal with planes with similar BR. It is quick, nimble (to a point), and powerful. Its machine guns and single propeller-mounted 20mm does a decent amount of damage. However, it lacks armor, so take that into account when engaging other aircraft.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- 20 mm cannon is very dangerous, especially with high explosive ammunition.
- Relatively fast.
- Excellent maneuverability.
- Impressive efficiency of 4 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns
Cons:
- 20 mm cannon has very small ammo pool.
- 20 mm cannon under-performs until you research new ammunition belts.
- Too weak, especially the fuel tanks
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.
Media
An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
