Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

  • Decent speed
  • Effective high calibre flares/chaffs
  • Great turn rate at low speeds
  • Extremely powerful in a downtier

Cons:

  • Bleeds speed fast
  • Janky gun placement makes it hard to aim
  • Inadequate performance in uptiers
  • Very limited count of flares/chaffs
  • Average turn speed above ~900 km/h

History

The SAAB J-35XS (Xerxes Sigurd/Export Suomi) is a Finnish export of the Swedish J35F interceptor. During and after 1970, Sweden provided second hand J35's to the Finnish Air Force. The first wave of exported Drakens were put into service on 1972, while the first J35 assembled under licence by Valmet was finished on March 12th, 1974. A unique feature to the Finnish variants was the ability to mount Soviet R-13M missiles, along with countermeasures such as flares and chaff.
