World of Warplanes Supertest: U.S.A XF-85 – Fighter
1 min readThe McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. The XF-85’s intended role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft, a need demonstrated during World War II. Two prototypes were constructed before the program was terminated.
XF-85 will be introduced as a Tier IX in the near future, all stats are from Supertest and subject to change.

About Author
this one developed later of the WWII but never mind..
How can the XF-85 even fly ? Deos not look that it can fly. And did that airplane come from a cartoon movie ? ;D
I wish Wowp was like Warthunder in the aspect in that .50 cals arent completely useless and have a bonus of setting enemies on fire. As a player of both games, I just want a fun and balanced game.
What’s your point exactly?
It was a parasite fighter prototype. It’s wings folded, and it would fly in the bomb bay of B-29s and B-36s. It would hook up back again. It got scratched when they noticed refueling planes mid-air was a much more viable option
