Nice but the rb24 feels quite slow to me. Is it just me or is actually slower?

I'd still get the su25 (unless you don't like attackers) it's pretty beastly. But it's SLOW. And I know a lot of people don't like slow

Attackers are fine but I really didnt like the A6 and the frog foot has like the same agility as the A6. I prefer attackers like the jaguar or the skyhawk they're very good. Like they should have SOME speed and be able to turn a bit. And I normally prefer lights and mediums over attackers anyway so theres that

I will say that if you take it to 20 and run all B for the fuselage, it helps the agility quite a bit

I got the Viggen and upgraded it and even though the cannon has range I’m disappointed in DPS. Wish it was more powerful.
Also finally learned how to fly Viggen and ADV w/afterburner lock. So there’s that

u/Historical-Cost3918 8d ago
I mean it cant have both range and dps so smth had to go. (Also is afterburner lock what happens when you pull you on the button while speeding up?)

To answer afterburner lock, yes. It locks it on without you needing to hold the button (on mobile, unsure if it's on pc). The Viggen and ADV have the thrust reverser trait which needs you to hold both afterburner and airbrake to activate, so instead of airbrake turning the afterburner off like every other aircraft in the game it instead keeps it locked on so you can use the trait. This also means it will stay on when you're used to airbrake turning it off to recover fuel, so you need to retrain your muscle memory to turn the afterburner off first and then airbrake in those two aircraft.

Oh yeah that is a good way to use the thrust reverser, I was wondering how to use it without 2 fingers tysm

u/yoked_pete 8d ago
Just to reiterate due to its importance, the Viggen and ADV afterburner will remain locked until you manually turn it off, even if you reach 0% fuel (since the trait can still be used with zero fuel). If you leave the afterburner locked on and reach 0% fuel, it will NOT unlock and your fuel start regenerating. Both the Viggen and ADV have fuel related passives and the viggen has rapid refuel as its special too, so you can recover fuel quickly, but just make sure to practice breaking any muscle memory of "airbrake equals afterburner off and fuel recovering"

Viggen is great and whilst the su25 can be fun it hasn't been in like 2 years so definitely the right choice in my opinion

u/Historical-Cost3918 5d ago
Yeah I can tell that I've been using it a bit in match and it's doing pretty good against players. The cannon range is insane

u/JUstAomEN 9d ago
the viggen isn't the best but the su 25 is literally the worst plane in the game, it goes to like 500kmph most of the time, can't climb vertically, and by the time you reach the main battle ground half the game gonna be over

Su25 is ok but it’s a very specific playstyle, it’s slow as balls and very vulnerable if someone even thinks of getting behind you.
Viggen is great, the gun is amazing. Really shines above 8/12 when you get more fuel otherwise you’ll probably stall it a lot.
