Since long itme, P-82B Twin Mustang model was present in the game, and few times as P-82B it was available for purchase.
Average heavy fighter, with 14 .50" machine guns - quantity has a quality all its own. Maybe, most MG armed planes is utter crap, only very few manage, like P-80A.
Now, riding on Christmas hype, WG provided bundles into shop, consisting P-82E model.
And there is one tiny little glitch - it's F-82E, not B variant (and first - F like Fighter, not P like Pursuit), but man, it's whatever-82 Twin Mustang after all.
Difference can be noticed either after purchase, or before, by checking stats - P-82B vs F-82E. Of course - not so easy, as as for now, it's impossible to put E version to plane comparison. And isn't present in tech tree. What a coincidence.
The main difference is that Echo version has 6 MGs (comparing to Bravo' 14). Piss poor, for real money. As a bonus - half of rockets (5 instead of 10 for Bravo), lower top speed (715 vs 720 km/h) despite more powerful engines, higher optimal airspeed (which means worse in dogfights, when energy is bled out and speed decreases), 0.8s better in turning than Bravo (like 12.3 vs 13.1 do much difference vs single engine fighter), and a bit better climb rate (that's probably because engines, yeah).
Another low blow from WG, meant only to cash grab from unaware players, who weren't aware enough, that they are buying castrated version of different plane. Money well spent.
