Currently there’s a bug going on with the Mistel; it doesn’t despawn. The physical model disappears, but the actual bomb airplane in the code does not. I’m here to suggest a solution.
My solution is simple and decisive: Remove 4.0 entirely from the game.
Here’s how i’d implement it:
· Vehicles at 4.0 move to 4.3 if they have a roof MG for ground vehicles or a gunner for air vehicles.
· Vehicles at 4.0 move to 3.7 if they don’t.
· The Mistel moves to the shadow realm.
· 4.0 is quarantined.
· We never speak of this again.
I have conducted extensive testing. By that I mean I listened to somebody rant about it in a popular Custom Battle. Right next to game code itself, that’s the best source anyone could have.
If one vehicle at 4.0 is THIS bugged, then logically the most reasonable solution is to delete 4.0 in its entirety. The 3.0 - 5.0 BR range is like a delicate ecosystem; and the Mistel is like a deadly cancer. It’s already infected 4.0, so 4.0 in its entirety must be surgically removed in order to prevent the tumor from spreading.
Many people might say this is a bit of an overreaction. I’ll respond with this: have you ever considered that 4.0 has been infected this whole time and that the Mistel bug is only the first symptom? Exactly. Thought so.
Summary: Mistel doesn’t despawn when it dies. This proves that the 4.0 bracket is compromised. The only effective solution is to delete the whole BR. This bug is seriously hurting my ability to BVR fight in my EPIC planes like the Eurofighter Typhoon. This LAME Mistel has no right to RUIN MY FUN!
*(This is satire. do not actually remove 4.0)

- Yes, remove 4.0 entirely
- No, remove 4.3 instead to be safe
- I main the Mistel and feel personally attacked
- Gaijin will fix this in 2037
