I was wondering why the ho229 doesn’t get bombload of 2X500kg under each wing or a parachute or the air breaks that are located further away on the wings, is it because gaijin can’t be bothered to add it? oh and that it could also have used 2 of the mk108 cannons.
Irl it wasn’t even armed with guns or any form of weaponry at all, period, at all. You’re lucky it’s in the game

What’s in game isn’t the proposed, never existent production version, but the uncompleted V3 prototype. That it’s got the MK 103 cannons the production version was supposed to get instead of the actually installed MK 108s is a much more gratifying choice by Gaijin.

everything I’ve read indicated the v3 prototype was unarmed
you can say that about a ton of russian navy stuff too. so its not like its something special theyu have added
naval has relaxed rules
naval has different rules compared to air

And air doesn’t? They gave the F-5 flares and aim -9E.
Japan got a trialed F-16
Sweden a trialed Mi-28
The Yak-141
Not to mention denying weapons used for the sake of balance or adding weapons for the same reason(choosing to ignore historical accuracy)
There is no fixed rule for anything in game, they pick and choose when to balance and when to be historical time and time again.

Horten Ho 229, why no bombs? - Machinery of War Discussion / Aircraft - War Thunder — official forum
Would be nice if gajin add the bombs and parachute it took them years to add bomb to bf 109k4

Indeed, I should have clarified the V3 would have carried MK 108s upon eventual completion.
im honestly amazed its not gone the way of the R2Y2s as it was about as completed as they were
Based on the same F-5 having flares in another nation, less of a stretch.
Less of a stretch, it’s just an existing aircraft
This one is dumb, but its still a rare example.
Don’t know enough on it
Exclusion is not equivalent to inclusion
What examples
Every rule has exceptions, but what I said is a general rule.
What? The F-5C had flares on release
Except it’s slightly worst as it apparently wasn’t even trialed, just offered for sale.
Does not change that is still in game
Don’t know what your talking about
It’s got stuff it never had mounted in real life
The F-5C
MiG-29 9.12/13 having R-27ETs(and missing R-73s)
f-16 ADFs missing their AIM-9Ms
They also nerf weapons so they aren’t historical.
Show me the official list of these rules, the snail approved rules. Nothing is set in stone, they change their minds all the time. So yes, the rules are relaxed when they want to be and I don’t really see why the Horton should exist in a semi finished state, the game is about how the vehicle would have performed with its theoretical armaments and items it would have had(like how the F-16AJ had AIM-9P)

why would that happen? the aircraft existed and flew, maybe not the v3 variant we have in game but the v2 did.
the configuration is wrong in game. Similar to Panther 2.
It ought to be removed or corrected
wrong how?, i know they were undecided on what guns to fit as ive seen sources say it could have either 4 mk108s or 2 mk103s and up to a 1000kg of bombs, which is why it was called the 3x1000 project
1000kph
1000kg of bombs
and i think it was 1000km of range but might be wrong
