addedFrom August 3 at 11:20 UTC to August 31 at 11:20 UTC, a chain of 35 missions awaits you. For their completion, you'll receive a new aircraft— the French Dassault M.D.450 Ouragan Tier IX fighter—and other valuable rewards!
changedThe Dassault M.D.450 Ouragan was the first French jet-powered fighter aircraft, and it marked the resurgence of the once-striving aviation industry of the newly liberated country. Renowned aviation engineer Marcel Bloch began designing the Ouragan as a private venture of his newly formed company, named Dassault after his own brother's alias in the French Resistance. Unlike many contemporary counterparts from the U.K. or U.S.A. that suffered multiple setbacks and redesigns, sometimes taking years to build a successful prototype, the first rendition of the Ouragan took flight just 15 months after design work began. Production started in 1950, and the M.D.450 entered service with the Armée de l'Air in 1952. It proved rather easy to pilot for an early jet era fighter, despite some issues with stability in tight turns due to its short fuselage. It worked great in its intended role as an interceptor, boasting an excellent rate of climb and great stability when firing its four 20-millimeter cannons. A total of 250 Ouragans were built between 1950 and 1954. They served in France, India, Israel (where they saw combat in both the Suez Crisis and the Six-Day War, earning high praise for performance and survivability), and finally in El Salvador.
changedIn World of Warplanes, the Dassault M.D.450 Ouragan is a Tier IX French (European) fighter. Its main advantages are the excellent rate of climb and speed characteristics that are among the best in its class and tier. The four 20 mm autocannons mounted below the engine intake have slightly lower firepower than their American or Soviet analogs, but have good range and burst length, allowing the pilot to deal significant damage to a target in a single attack run. The Ouragan's maneuverability is reasonable, but the main ace up its sleeve is the rate of climb, which encourages a "boom-n-zoom" approach.
