VB.10C-1... Is it plane for war or flying brick ?

[Firehex]

So, it's first france plane with decent guns, 3.7 rating. No bombs or rockets, so no extra weight.
But what the hell with his maneuverability ?! I barelly can turn for enemy plane in any angle. It feels so hard like i'm flying on bomber not interceptor...
Last time i got feelings like this when was flying Firebrand.

Flying brick, as is the case with many two-engined heavy fighters. Keep speed up and make diving attacks.

Can't complain the thing is good food for my planes

Does next version (4.3 rating) has same weakness ?

Yep, but you get 6x .50cals in addition to the 20mms for more overkill.

It’s a heavy fighter.

But it looks like normal fighter Not like Mosquito or IL-2...
P.S. I know second engine is inside plane, but that's just awkward... I want good france fighter like Spitefire

Appearances can be deceiving. Look at the absolute size of this lad[i.redd.it]

Much bigger then i wouldve expected.

Plane looks can be deceiving.


It maybe a 2 engine heavy fighter, but the Do 335[images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com] sometimes light not look the size of what it really is.

I couldn’t find a good picture of the plane next to something, so I improvised. Remember the Ta 152H-1? This single engined monoplane fighter has a wingspan of just a little bit shorter than this pole.[www.mysteelpole.com]

This... doesn’t really have anything to do with OP’s question.

well if you look at the french tree, there isnt much competitive planes on mid-late tier, the VB10 are bricks yet the comparable plane the Do335 flies better, the copy paste US planes are good to mediocre, the one that shines SO8000 is a premium and now being removed from the store(WTF gaijin). and the jets fighters are horrendously over tiered and the supermystere is a disaster.

OP asked about the maneuverability of the plane. Not France Rank IV in general.

Also the Do 335 does not fly better, and if it did, only the 2nd VB would see it in a complete uptier.
