👾 THE LORE

Issued to the fictional 10. Jagdgeschwader “Sturmhimmel”, the DF-297 "Riesenfalke" served as a high-speed point interceptor. With only two 25mm Machine Guns, two 40mm cannons and no bombs, the aircraft relied entirely on agility, altitude, and precision.

Nicknamed the “Giant Falcon” by enemy bomber crews, its yellow nose was often the last thing they saw before their tail was shredded.

"Four cannons, one job. It didn’t need more.

-Hauptmann Elias Rottmann, 10/JG “Sturmhimmel”-
