War Thunder A Rare Bird - Do 335 By Rebecca Smith, 10 Feb 2016 CommentsLuftwaffe fans, rejoice! One of the most unusual and dangerous aircraft of WW2 - the Do.335 “Pfeil” has arrived with three modifications!The Do.335 is the first aircraft with tandem-mounted engines in War Thunder, that’s why designing its model was a bit of a challenge for us. We believe that we did well. Both engines and both propellers are operational, the animations of the radiator shutters, the flap system and the chassis all operate correctly.Besides the unusual look of the model itself, observers may also notice the canopy design that is uncommon for a German fighter aircraft, also the unique front undercarriage leg.As for the vehicle performance and the aircraft’s combat characteristics, it should be noted that experimental models built by Claudius Dornier featured a superb speed in level flight (perhaps they were the fastest piston powered aircraft of WW2), a powerful armament consisting of 20mm and 30mm cannons and also its capability of carrying bombs both on the wing pods and in bomb bay.In War Thunder, the Do.335 is represented with 3 modifications:• Do.335A-0. armed with 1 ?K 103 30mm gun, and 2x20 mm MG151’s• Do.335A-1 able to carry 1x500 kg bomb in the bomb bay and 2x250 kg bombs on the wing pods.• Do.335B-2 - a premium vehicle armed with 2 additional 30mm wing-mounted cannons - a true flying artillery battery!The Do.335 is one of the most advanced prop fighters in history. Get ready to meet it in War Thunder Update 1.57!Watch video of this aircraft in action here!More War Thunder stories: War Thunder Event - The Battle of Kursk New Leaderboards for War Thunder Development For Oculus Rift In War Thunder War Thunder [Development] Ta-152C: Evolution of the ‘Dora’ War Thunder [Development] Tiger II Sla.16 and Sea Venom FAW.20 WindowsLinuxMac OS XDLCScreenshots Written by Rebecca SmithRebecca is the Newshound Manager at TrueSteamAchievements, TrueAchievements and TrueTrophies.
