In RB and Sim modes this plane struggles to get off the runway, spooling, pressuring your front landing gear right before you engage flaps and using flaps are all essential to a safe takeoff in this plane.

You are not a turn fighter, I repeat, you are not a turn fighter. Under no circumstances are you to engage in turnfights. Accelerate to ~700 kmh and then climb to atleast 2k meters. Try to maintain ur speed the best possible, and once reaching 2000 meters build up your speed before engaging enemy airplanes. Use your energy well and strafe the "wasp" nest that usually builds up in the central parts of the map.

Turning is generally a bad idea, the "Flying Barrel" loves to lose speed and hates to recover it so keep this in mind before pulling any sharp manuvers.

To engage in a primary dogfight you will either want to be well above it or at high speed to take advantage of the largest strenghts of this plane, it's cannons and top speed.

Speed is life, but sometimes you won't have enough of it, keeping an eye on where your nearest teammate is is an excellent idea should you be engaged by a faster jet (Swift F1 & F7 are good examples)

Flying with a sqaud mate in a dogfighter is something I would highly reccomend as they will often be able to setup a target for your B&Z runs

Description

GarageImage J29A.jpg


The J29A Tunnan is a rank V Swedish jet fighter with a battle rating of 8.0 (AB/SB) and 7.7 (RB). It was introduced in Update 1.95 "Northern Wind".

The J29A is a single-engine jet fighter, that was developed by the Swedish company SAAB in the late 1940s. One of the main design features of this aircraft is its swept-back wings, which was designed after that SAAB had managed to acquire German documents from the war, that proved that swept-back wings were necessary when trying to achieve higher speeds. The J29A also features a Swedish license-built version of the British De Haviland Ghost engine. The armament consists of four Akan M/47C, a license built copy of the british Hispano Mk V, but with a lower rate of fire. The first prototype flew in 1948, and the aircraft then proceeded to enter service in the Swedish Air Force, Flygvapnet in 1951. It remained in service until 1963 and never saw any combat use.

General info

Flight performance

Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.

Survivability and armour

Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: Akan m/47C (20 mm)

The J29A is armed with:

  • 4 x 20 mm Akan m/47C cannons, nose-mounted (180 rpg = 720 total)

Usage in battles

You are not a turn fighter, I repeat, you are not a turn fighter. Under no circumstances are you to engage in turnfights. Accelerate to ~700 kmh and then climb to atleast 2k meters. Try to maintain ur speed the best possible, and once reaching 2000 meters build up your speed before engaging enemy airplanes. Use your energy well and strafe the "wasp" nest that usually builds up in the central parts of the map. Similairly to the f86 you should immedietally leave the combat zone if you sense that your side is not going to make it out. Remember that you are more worth alive rather than acting as a RP Pinata.

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

Pros:

  • Decent cannons with plenty of ammunition
  • Can turn well at speed
  • High max speed

Cons:

  • Inadequate versus its opponents at 8.7 which it faces often
  • Sluggish acceleration
  • Dumps speed in turns

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

See also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:

  • topic on the official game forum;
  • encyclopedia page on the aircraft;
  • other literature.
