Ever since I got to my Lightning, I very quickly learned not to think about turning near an Alpha Jet, don't think I've ever seen one lose a turn fight... in a lobby with missiles O:
@@madmansprinkles I was very surprised to see how much the Lightning had lost speed and how much trouble it had getting back up to speed... never thought I could stand a chance with the Alpha Jet... I'm already looking forward to the Thai version of the Alpha Jet, which will be able to carry up to 4x AIM-9P, but with a higher BR.
@@Stefan-Forster Lightning's go straight vertical, shoot a bomber threatening GB bomber bases and go back home Turning is a big no no, but WT thinks you should fight Mig-21s with em :/ They can turn really well at 600 kph, but below 450 kph AND turning will make it fall out of the sky Thai Alpha Jet does well when I see them as well, they tend to stand out in the matches where I see them (:
The disadvantage of the Alpha Jet is the low payload: you can't blow up a base with the bombs, no missiles (except the Thai variant), the MG is somewhat difficult to aim and has little ammunition... and the plane isn't really fast either. Let's see what gets better with the Thai version... So far I haven't found the Alpha Jets to be particularly successful, let's see if that changes in the future...
Nice double taps bro
@@WammSon thx… that gun is kinda difficult to aim…
A fun little plane, you shred in it
really a fun little airplane, as a nice change from the classic fighters to fly a ground attack aircraft (like a fighter) 🙂
