The Brewster Buffalo usually makes it pretty high in lists of the worst fighter planes ever. Its reputation (and its looks) are of a fat, slow, “flying coffin.” So how did I just go 11-1 in it? Is War Thunder’s flight model totally borked?
I did a little digging into the story of the Buffalo, and I was surprised by some of the details I found, so I thought I’d share them at the beginning of this highlight reel.
