Description

Pallier's D.510 is a premium rank I French fighter with a battle rating of 1.7 (AB) and 1.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France". It costs 250 Golden Eagles. The plane is modelled after one used by French pilot Gabriel Pallier.

The Dewoitine D.510 is an open cockpit monoplane equipped with one Hispano-Suiza H.S.404 cannon and two MAC 1934 7.5 mm machine guns. The aircraft has no specific defects, but no notable advantages either. Its engine is extremely prone to catching fire (especially when hit by weapons of 12.7 mm caliber)

Armaments

Offensive armament

Ammunition60 rounds
Fire rate700 shots/min
Ammunition600 rounds
Fire rate1 350 shots/min

The Pallier's D.510 is armed with:

  • 1 x 20 mm Hispano 404 cannon, nose-mounted (60 rpg)
  • 2 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns, wing-mounted (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 battles

The extremely limited 20 mm 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 7.5 mm MAC rounds.

Mastering trigger control is crucial for aircraft with low ammo count, particularly those with 60-round drums. An interesting way to practive trigger discipline is to bind the keys for firing (usually RMB) and bailing out (usually J) together. This way you are forced to fire short bursts for no more than 3 seconds each time, or you will be bailed out. This can be very effective as short bursts within 3 seconds long are generally enough to cripple if not destroy a target, and the price for shooting longer than that is losing the chance to keep fighting, which is a lesson one will not want to learn. 

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 Hispano cannon, the D.510 can be a serious threat to aircraft well above its normal rank.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Strong firepower of the 20mm cannon is quite devastating for fragile planes around 1.3
  • Nose-centered guns are easy to aim in simulator
  • Pretty agile, can sometimes turnfight biplanes
  • Considerably fast for a vehicle in its tier
  • Great over-the-nose visibility allowing easy aiming in a simulator dogfight
  • Easy to control at low speeds meaning forgiving landing characteristics for realistic / simulator
  • Open cockpit allows player to hear outside sounds easily, which is beneficial in noticing nearby enemies
  • Excellent for dog fighting
  • Fixed landing gear makes landings easier

Cons:

  • Low ammo count of only 60 rounds is very unfriendly to beginners / bad aimers
  • Weak armour. No rear protection at all for the pilot. Open cockpit is also vulnerable to pilot sniping
  • Pretty easy to get shot down
  • No flap controls limiting its turning potential
  • Fixed landing gear creates more drag

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 long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the 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></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
