Summary
New Premium Aircraft: Mistel 2
The Mistel 2 is a unique German strike system introduced for the "Dreams Come True" event. It consists of a Fw 190 fighter acting as a carrier for a Ju 88 bomber that has been converted into a massive explosive warhead. This marks the first composite aircraft configuration in War Thunder.
Gameplay Mechanics
Players control the Fw 190 carrier to aim the Ju 88 "bomb" at strategic targets like warships or fortifications. Once released, the Ju 88 flies toward the target on autopilot. The carrier aircraft is stripped of all forward-firing armament to save weight, requiring players to rely on speed to return to an airfield for rearming after the payload is delivered.
