This plane have a good performence, is a really good fighter : good armement but low number of ammunition for the 20mm gun, good turn time and good rate of climb.

<!-- ''Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.'' -->
 
  
−
The aircraft flies well, as would be expected of a light fighter. Although its rate of climb is not the best, it is fast and retains energy well, allowing it to be used as a successful energy fighter. It has a good enough turn time, although it's not good enough to compete with the British and Japanese fighters at the BR. It is usually fast enough to outturn common foes such as Fw-190s and Bf109s.  
+
you will easily fight the first models of bf-109.

Due to the plane's general lack of armour, except for a 3mm steel plate between the engine and the oil cooling system, it's survivability is limited. . Although its airframe can survive more punishment than would be expected of such a lightweight wooden structure, it should not be relied on as an asset of this aircraft. Think of a hit survived as a lucky roll of the dice. The best policy for survival in this aircraft is to not be hit.

The aircraft's armament can be powerful, but only in the right circumstances and when used correctly. As with many French aircraft, it possesses a potent propeller-hub mounted Hispano cannon, but it has very limited ammo. This is both a blessing and a curse, as while it does help with learning to conserve ammo and improving leading, it can be a steep learning curve, especially for those with less capable aim. The 20mm is supported by 4 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns. These machine guns are also found on many French planes. While they have poor damage when stock, once the tracer belt is unlocked, these guns are quite potent, although they should not be relied on for larger targets such as bombers. It is recommended to use weapon selection to conserve 20mm ammunition for only when a hit is guaranteed, to make the most of the limited ammunition supplies.

The V.G.33C-1 is a very competitive aircraft at its battle rating, with decent climb rate, good speed and good manoeuvrability. Its biggest weaknesses are its lack of ammunition and lack of armour. To take advantage of this plane, it's best to side climb and exploit any opportunities that will present themselves. Both turnfighting and BnZ tactics work well with this plane but turnfighting is the better of the two due to the lack of ammo, it also allows for, generally speaking, a better and cleaner shot. Trigger control is key when flying this plane. Though not as manoeuvrable as a spitfire, it can sustain a turnfight with an F6F, Yak-7 or Yak-9, but against a fighter like a I-16, you can use your high horsepower engine in a steep climb while dodging out of the way of its guns, to stall it out so you can finish him off with your 7.5 mm MGs.

In mixed ground battles, your anti-tank capabilities are limited as the penetration of your 20 mm Hispano 404 cannon is insufficient. Up close, you can penetrate the roof of the Pz.III, and perhaps the engine deck, depending on angle. Your main target shouldn't be ground vehicles, but strike aircraft and fighters. With your relatively weak armament, bombers will be tough to bring down, and the fragile inline engine cannot take much fire before becoming inoperable.

The VG33 C-1 was a member of the VG series that was designed in 1936. It was aimed to provide a solution to the French Airforce's lack of modern fighter aircraft. To achieve this, it used a wooden structure, which could utilise France's forests, alleviating the shortages in aluminium. It was designed to the same contract as the [[C.R.714]] and the Bloch MB.700. The Vg.30 was originally intended to be powered by a Potez 12Dc inline engine, but due to development issues with the engine, the prototype first flew in October 1938 with a Hispano-Suiza 12Xcrs. The VG 33 itself was a modified version of the VG-31, which used the  Hispano-Suiza 12Y-31 and which first flew in 1939, with great success.

+
A light hunter of very high quality, the VG-33 was produced by the firm Arsenal de l'Aéronautique and belonged to this generation of aircraft whose production could not be completed due to the war. Given the international context of the time, it was indeed necessary to rearm as quickly as possible an Air Force sorely lacking modern and efficient fighters. A rate of 350 devices per month was desired. Nevertheless, 160 copies of this aircraft had already reached an advanced stage of production in June 1940, but only a dozen of these machines were able to fly.

 +
The VG-30 prototypes had the distinction of being built entirely of wood. This non-strategic material (unlike the aluminum then commonly used in the manufacture of all aircraft) avoided any supply problems. Another advantage of the wood put forward by the engineers of the Arsenal, was the possibility of having the aircraft sub-assemblies manufactured by carpenters and cabinetmakers.

 +
The VG-33 presented itself as a low-wing single-seater built entirely of wood and powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y liquid-cooled engine. Its armament consisted of a cannon and four machine guns. The prototype, which flew in the spring of 1939, displayed excellent overall performance, especially in the field of speed, and reached 558 km / h during official tests carried out in August of the same year. The performance of the prototype was superior to that of all fighters then in service like the Dewoitine D.520. The VG 33 flew 30 km / h faster than the D.520 with an older and less powerful Hispano Suiza 12Y engine of around 100 horsepower.

They were probably destroyed by the Occupant, who already knew the device well. Indeed one of the five examples seized in June 1940, the n ° 3, had been extensively tested at the Rechlin flight test center.

Description

GarageImage V.G.33C-1.jpg


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 an extent), 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.

General info

Flight Performance

This plane have a good performence, is a really good fighter : good armement but low number of ammunition for the 20mm gun, good turn time and good rate of climb.

you will easily fight the first models of bf-109.

  • 4 x 7.5 mm MAC 1934 machine guns, wing-mounted (500 rpg = 2,000 total)

Usage in battles

The V.G is a very competitive aircraft at its Battle Rating, with decent climb rate, good speed and good manoeuvrability. Its biggest weaknesses are its lack of ammo and lack of armour. To take advantage of this plane it's best to side climb and exploit any opportunities that are spotted. Both turn fighting and BnZ tactics work well with this plane but turn fighting is the better of the two due to the lack of ammo, it also allows for, generally speaking, a better and cleaner shot. Trigger control is key when flying this.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 20 mm cannon is very dangerous, especially with high explosive ammunition.
  • Relatively fast.
  • Excellent manoeuvrability.
  • 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

The arsenal VG 33 c01 is a fast fighter but arrived too late.

A light hunter of very high quality, the VG-33 was produced by the firm Arsenal de l'Aéronautique and belonged to this generation of aircraft whose production could not be completed due to the war. Given the international context of the time, it was indeed necessary to rearm as quickly as possible an Air Force sorely lacking modern and efficient fighters. A rate of 350 devices per month was desired. Nevertheless, 160 copies of this aircraft had already reached an advanced stage of production in June 1940, but only a dozen of these machines were able to fly.

The VG-30 prototypes had the distinction of being built entirely of wood. This non-strategic material (unlike the aluminum then commonly used in the manufacture of all aircraft) avoided any supply problems. Another advantage of the wood put forward by the engineers of the Arsenal, was the possibility of having the aircraft sub-assemblies manufactured by carpenters and cabinetmakers.

The VG-33 presented itself as a low-wing single-seater built entirely of wood and powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Y liquid-cooled engine. Its armament consisted of a cannon and four machine guns. The prototype, which flew in the spring of 1939, displayed excellent overall performance, especially in the field of speed, and reached 558 km / h during official tests carried out in August of the same year. The performance of the prototype was superior to that of all fighters then in service like the Dewoitine D.520. The VG 33 flew 30 km / h faster than the D.520 with an older and less powerful Hispano Suiza 12Y engine of around 100 horsepower.

They were probably destroyed by the Occupant, who already knew the device well. Indeed one of the five examples seized in June 1940, the n ° 3, had been extensively tested at the Rechlin flight test center.
