Horten 229 V3

A futuristic German flying-wing jet inspired by the Horten brothers’ glider designs. The V3 was refined for the “3×1000” bomber concept—designed to carry 1 000 kg of ordnance, reach 1 000 km/h, and fly 1 000 km. It features twin Junkers Jumo engines, a mixed steel-and-wood airframe, and mounts two 30 mm MK 103 cannons (340 rounds)

Playstyle

A hybrid fighter—capable of both turn-fighting and energy-fighting. Its strengths, like top speed, turn rate, and powerful armament, make it flexible. But poor roll and weak energy retention push it toward boom-and-zoom tactics—strike and escape fast

Pros and Cons

Pros
➕ High top speed (~910 kph)
➕ Strong turn rate (~32.3°/s)
➕ Equipped with airbrakes
➕ Premium aircraft = better earnings

Cons
➖ Slow cannon rate of fire
➖ Poor roll responsiveness
➖ Weak energy retention
➖ TWR on the low side (~0.26)
