| |
| − | The A21RB is a very manoeuvrable jet with a good climb rate for an early jet. The guns, although a downgrade from the previous propeller-driven version of the plane provides enough firepower to down targets efficiently unless a snapshot is required. It does however have a very low rip speed, preventing you from diving on or chasing most of the opponents you'll be facing. Mounting rockets increases your drag by a huge amount, reducing your top speed by several hundred km/h while making you almost unable to climb.

| − | '''Pros:'''
| |
| − | * Able to mount very powerful and accurate rockets for ground attack
| |
| − | * Upgraded engine compared to the comparable [[J21RA]], giving you a better climb rate
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Cons:'''
| |
| − | * Rocket ramp is rendered as a solid object, reducing your maximum speed by several hundred kph
| |
| − | * Gun-pod only has 800 rounds in total spread between all guns
| |
| − | * Extremely low rip speed for a jet, 787 kph
| |
| − | * 12.7 mm machine-guns instead of the 13.2 mm of the previous propeller-driven version of the plane, severely reducing firepower

Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.
