(from Wikipedia) "The de Havilland Vampire is a British jet fighter developed and manufactured by the de Havilland Aircraft Company. It had the distinction of being the second jet fighter to be operated by the RAF, after the Gloster Meteor, and the first to be powered by a single jet engine." I tried to make thiis aircraft fairly realistiic so bear with me if you don't like the performance. In terms of realism, it does behave a lot like the real model; being able to dive like a pro, but climb weak. It builds up speed over time and should be used as an attacker mostly. I built the vampire of all planes because it's the first jet I recently got on War Thunder actually. But without further ado, enjoy!
