The LVKV died because you actually do damage if you ram a light target at high enough speeds and he was just unlucky enough to have your plane land square on his face. Fun fact : I've actually killed a Turms using this ram method, how? Don't ask me I don't work at gaijin.

@tacticalginger96232 жыл бұрын
A delta has a higher lift-drag ratio when working with a greater fluid velocity, as well as lower drag for the equivalent wingspan. However, it also has a much lower Coefficient of Lift, meaning it doesn't work as well at lower speeds. Oddly enough this was the whole principle behind Variable Geometry Aircraft such as the F-14, Tornado and MiG-23/27
