Hello again, I'm back
Im back after some time ( *4 months, really.) with this french beast fighter plane.
"The D.520 was designed in response to a 1936 requirement from the French Air Force for a fast, modern fighter with a good climbing speed and an armament centred on a 20 mm cannon." Wikipedia.

Notes
The performance of it is realistically messy, because the design causes the engine to make the plane unstable to fly:
"It was a nasty little brute. Looked beautiful but didn't fly beautifully. Once you get it on the ground, I was told not to leave the controls until it was in the hangar and the engine stopped. You could be taxiing toward the hangar and sit back when suddenly it would go in a right angle."
Captain Eric Brown, commanding officer of the Royal Aircraft Establishment's Captured Enemy Aircraft Flight.
