No problem, if you have a look at the German tree on the WT wiki, you’ll notice a lot of low tier Italian planes, that’s because both trees were integrated at the start of the game. Same as France was with Britain
At least I can tell my imaginary GF I drive a Rolls Royce :(

The Mistral 1 has two fixed canards and two front adjustable canards and operates via twist and steer methods, albeit slightly more advanced due to the high rotations per second it spins.
The Stinger has a rolling airframe which is pretty well documented in US sources.
Regardless of the technique, the TY-90 has similar dimensions for both fin and caliber sizes to the Mistral, but is coded to have a higher maximum angle of attack(18 degrees) for the fins to achieve 20g. The Mistral for some reason is limited extremely (3.6 degrees).

TY-90 wants to have a word with you…
Should note that the majority of the Mistral missiles we have in game would be the Mistral 3, not the Mistral 1 as well, and the 3 has first party sources stating it’s max overload is 35Gs, not 22.
I wouldn’t say “majority”.
The SANTAL and the mock up SIDAM-25 would both have the Mistral 1.
The Tigers could arguably be limited to the Mistral 2, and famously used the Mistral 2 against ground targets during their service. Latter upgrades did carry the Mistral 3, but it wouldn’t be accurate to say majority for the vehicles in-game. If they were to implement more modern ground vehicles for AA like the Czech PASARS-16 with Mistrals, that would be a Mistral 3 as well.

For the SANTAL and SIDAM-25 yeah the mistral 1 lines up with their development dates, the reason why I say “majority” is due to pretty much every helo that mounts the ATAM in game is at or post the 2014 introduction date for the Mistral 3, with a limited number of the helos that mount the ATAM being prior vintage which could mean they would get Mistral 2s.
(The 2 and 3’s airframe is still largely identical, with the major upgrade for the 3 being a IIR seeker like other modern IR missiles and a better booster, so the G loading would also be similar if not the same overall)
