Finally, the D.520 is getting modded in Il-2! I am almost shaking with anticipation; I can't wait to fly this gem! Here's, IMHO, one of the best photos of this airplane:

I'll start making some textures for this nice French lady.
As for the D.520's ability to fight faster airplanes, Bulgarian pilots fought against the much faster and better climbing P-38's and P-51 throughout 1943-44 , and also as high-altitude interceptors against bomber formations, with moderate success. It definitely wasn't easy, though. I can translate a lot of interviews and comments on the performance of the 520's against the US late-war fighters and the Bf 109G's when you start working on the FM, I'm sure they would be useful.
EDIT: Here's a photo from the front: http://www.bgalbum.com/albums/userpics/ ... 094fe3.jpg
Wheels are clearly tilted inward.
