Armaments
Offensive armament
Pallier's D.510 is armed with:
- 1 x 20 mm Hispano 404 cannon (60 rpg = 60 total)
- 2 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine gun (300 rpg = 600 total)
The two machine guns are arranged with one mounted on the underside of each wing. Each are armed with the same amount of ammunition, which means that all guns will fire with each other until empty. The 20 mm Hispano 404 cannon is mounted in the nose and fires out of the propeller hub.
Usage in the battles
The extremely limited 20mm ammo supply should be guarded carefully and used only for heavier and larger targets where the destructive power of the HEF shells can make quick work of enemies. Most other fighters of the period will fall quickly enough to the 7.5mm MAC rounds.
Like most other low-tier fighters, the D.510 is exceptionally agile, able to turn well inside aircraft even a single BR higher. Combined with the powerful 20mm Hispanio cannon, the D.510 can be a serious threat to aircraft well above its normal rank.
