This page is about the Soviet bomber Yer-2 (M-105R) TAT. For other versions, see Yer-2 (Family). |
Contents
Description
The Yer-2 (M-105R) TAT-BT is a gift rank III Soviet bomber with a battle rating of 4.3 (AB), 3.7 (RB), and 4.0 (SB). Though initially in the game pre-1.27, this plane was removed upon Update 1.37 due to being performance-wise identical to the Yer-2 M-105R LU.
