-The Potez 633 was the light bomber variant of the Potez 63 family of aircraft. It had a two man configuration, with a pilot and rear gunner. The aircraft served in the Second World War, with China, Romania and Greece. The aircraft proved to be relatively ineffective as a bomber in the Battle of France, suffering heavy losses due to enemy air superiority and the mediocre speed of the Potez 633, a problem shared with its interceptor counterparts, the Potez 630 and 631. While other nations used the Potez, not all of them were delivered due to a French embargo on army equipment and other military assets in June 1939. The Aircraft also served with Vichy France, although relegated to second line service.

-It was introduced in [[Update 1.73 "Vive la France"]]. The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is the light bomber variant of the Potez 63, compared to the Potez 630 and 631, it lacks the 20mm cannons and additional 7.5mm MGs for offensive armament, instead having a single 7.5MG mounted in the nose. The aircraft has an adequate ordinance for a light bomber of its BR, being capable of carrying a total of 400kg of bombs in the form of 8 x 50KG or 2 x 200KG bombs. The 200KG bombs are the most adequate for dealing with ground targets, and can be used with good results in ground battles against light tanks, it should be noted that the Potez is particularly weak against SPAA due to its low speed and large size when compared to biplanes or ground attackers.

 <!-- ''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics.

-The 633's light bomb load (when compared to the Farman monsters that preceded it) makes this aircraft much more dependent on skill when dropping ordnance. When facing light vehicles, the 8x50kg load is particularly useful, allowing you to tag along with the larger bombers and clean up after their pass. Use the 7.5mm MG in the nose to clean up any stray SPAA trucks in your path... a short burst will usually be rewarded with a kill. Use the bombs on anything else that moves.

-The 633 is also not as agile as other twin-engine aircraft its size, avoid turn fighting no matter how tempting. Just make a quick snapshot at passing fighters as they cross your path and keep moving to your next target. Keep an eye on your six, the rear gunner with the 7.5 mm MAC machinegun may deter lighter aircraft like Reserve fighters, but any rank II fighter which winds up on your tail usually means a one-way ticket to the ground in a heap unless a teammate is nearby who can help.
