Saab engineers created the J35 Draken, a jet fighter designed for the Swedish Air Force. It was exported to Denmark, and Austria. It was with both countries until 2005, when it was retired from military service.
The Swedish Air Force wanted a high-performance, jet fighter. Its high climb rate and double delta wings made it ideal to fly on short runways. It was also fast and agile. The aircraft is designed to take off and land easily and efficiently, but it is still a tough plane to fly.
The J35D features a high-capacity weapons storage bay. Two 30 mm Akan M/55 cannons can be carried by the aircraft. These cannons are Swedish-made versions of British ADEN cannons. These cannons provide high velocity and high blast mass at medium ranges. They are also capable to spread missiles at short distances. If the player plays strategically, this can make the vehicle rank higher than other vehicles.
A unique gun placement is also part of the J35D. It houses four RB24 RB24 rockets, which are located under the outer delta. Each missile is capable of carrying 100 rounds. This missile's 100-round capacity is the best supersonic jet has ever produced. RB24 missiles, however, are not radar lockable. It will therefore miss the target if the missile is launched while it is running. Turning also reduces the aircraft's ability to perform well. When turning, pilots need to keep their backs clear for enemy missiles.
The J35D is also considered to be the lowest-stalling supersonic jet. It is capable of outmanoeuvering slower enemies, and can even catch up with them. It is still susceptible to attack and should be flown with care. Although the aircraft can carry four RB24-capable missiles, this greatly reduces its performance. The missiles are installed under the outer Delta and are not radar locked.
The J35D is also considered similar to the F-4 Phantom series of fighters. It has a cobra maneuver that was created to stop super stalls. It is not required to use the cobra maneuver every time. Instead, the pilot can train the aim of the aircraft and learn other useful aerial manoeuvres.
Because of its ability to catch up to its enemy, the J35D can be a fun aircraft to play. However, it is very vulnerable to enemy attacks. It is also important to be careful when you are launching missiles. When performing aggressive maneuvers, the aircraft will typically drop to 500 km/h. This can make it difficult to detect misfires and other problems, especially when the aircraft is positioned over a large area.
The J35D can be used as a defense player because it maintains safe speed even during missile launches. The aircraft's low speed at stall makes it vulnerable to enemy attack. This aircraft can catch up with a slower opponent, but the longer it takes to catch up, the more time the opponent has to react and the better chance the opponent has of avoiding the missile. An acceleration of the engine can boost the aircraft's speed.
