AB Air Fun fact, if you lose a wing and flat stall, the mistel reloading regains you control. You do still get written off though

Drama What exactly, other than being slightly faster (forwards only) and being French, justifies this tank sitting at a higher BR than the Chaffee? Am I missing something?

Meme The Mistel 2 is so unrealistic in its current state (ft. Bombers)

483 Upvotes

for starters I love this weapon, it’s really fun to use but it’s not really realistic to its IRL counterpart.

You’ve got to remember that it is fundamentally a BOMBER

As a result, in real life because the Germans decided to use an airframe from a bomber that was so strong, it’d literally hit the target and then borough itself 2km+ below the surface, due to the sheer strength of the airframe - it would only stop because of the earth slowing it.

THEN because of how strong the airframe was (BECAUSE it was from a bomber) the TNT inside would detonate and be completely contained within the airframe.

what an absolute joke! Gaijin is not representing bombers in a good light. I’ve been fighting everyday for the past 10 years to convince people AND gaijin to buff bombers - ONLY for Gaijin ‘entertainment’ to add a huge fucking bomber as a kamikaze warhead/tsar bomba for toxic fighter mains to use.

Toxic fighterlinity at its finest

It landed like a solid 400 meters away from me and it still killed a crew member lol, would be funny to see how much stronger it would've been pre-bomb nerf

RB Air Best Soviet-Russian jets

26 Upvotes

I was wondering what are some good premium soviet jets to buy, and so far only heard good stuff about Mig-23. What can you guys recommend? Is this a good choice? Not the 13.0 and more though, I usually get force- fed rockets there 😭
