and they slow you down

Not terribly but yes

Parasite drag is a thing

So are empty mass coefficients for things with bomb bays like bombers

Rare vehicle flexing time

Ah the infamous Soviet Paratrooper plane

You know they tried to attach I-16 monoplanes and I-153 biplanes to that thing as ghetto rigged parasite fighters?

Comrade help me, my head is stuck

yeah, the zveno project

The thing is so sad that the fighters had to run their engines to provide enough power for the whole plane/platform to take off

>500hp engines

Yeah but also a really big and fat plane

The thing didnt actually like getting off the ground historically

Once you did it, it was fine

But it was getting it to get off the ground that was the issue

Everything about that aircraft insults aerodynamics

That thing has wings thicker than a grown-ass mans height

It's russian

Did you expect anything else?

The Heinkel 111 H-6 and H-16s were also that way, but they were only that way if you took their maximum bomb and fuel loads.

Also thick wings only help to a certain extent, then they give diminishing returns

At least Germans invested in enclosed cabins

>Trying to flex with a TB-3

huehuehue

I HAB STURMVOGEL

Not as rare as the TB-3

The 2 cannon, bomb-carrying one?

Yes

He means that one

That's pretty damn rare

maybe not E-100 rare but up there

Not really? Most people dont fly them anymore

It was easy to get.

Do the tasks or pay 50 bucks

Sure, most rare vehicles are hangar queens

Sadmin probably paid for his

I got mine legit

I never gave enough of a fuck to grind those events

too much salt

without a squad to reliably farm assists and best squads it takes hours daily

I'll exclusively do naval events
