Veteran tips
The JA37 Viggen has balanced durability, engine performance, and agility. Its long lasting afterburner time and Rapid Refuel special ability will keep it fast for long distances across the skies. Its medium range manual missiles have longer range performance, at the cost of slightly longer lock times, and a smaller lock reticle window. Its long range precision cannon provides a great advantage to the pilots ability to destroy an opponent. The cannon round damage is lower than others, however it compensates for this with its high velocity, armor piercing ammo. Armor piercing ammo can deal oppressive damage against opposing armored Attack aircraft. It is suggested to be disciplined in its cannon use. The cannon will provide a reticle far before an oncoming opponent will achieve a shooting window. A pilot can cause serious damage against an opponent, and in the right shooting scenario, kill an opponent before they have time to fire. It has a special cruising altitude trait that provides a short period of time to deploy its longer reaching, medium ranged missiles, ideally at high altitude, stand-off distanced engagements. A look-down/shoot-down tactic is most advantageous. Braking will trigger its delta wing trait where it can turn tighter. It is easy to deplete energy and speed while maintaining a dog fight. Easy to fly, and over all great weapons performance, the JA37 Viggen is deadly in the hands of both a novice pilot and a veteran pilot.
Trivia
