I found something interesting. It is said that Germany planned a version of the Me 163 with two small tail. but it would be that the plan was discontinued. If it appears in War Thunder, it will be a good opponent for the F-117.

Unfortunately a paper project. Maybe one day there will be a Me163 Canard which appears to have at least been wind tunnel tested, although it is unclear if it is an airframe or mockup?)

looks like a mockup
Don’t know how effective it would be, but sure
Yes, I looked it up and it seems like it was cancelled along with the ‘Bf 109 G Butterfly Tail’ due to fuselage instability.
And it seems likely that the Me 163 canard was simply a wind tunnel model. However, if the canard were functional, the Me 163’s turning ability would have been much greater than it is now.

Honestly, Gaijin is just copy-pasting German premium planes from the regular tree, so I’d rather they release this unique plane as premium or battle pass vehicles
War Thunder moment.
