This page is about the German jet fighter G.91 R/3 (Germany). For other uses, see G.91 (Family). |
Description
The ◄G.91 R/3 is a rank VI German jet fighter
with a battle rating of 9.0 (AB/SB) and 8.7 (RB). It was introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision".
General info

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
Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.
Suspended armament
Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
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
Pros:
- Exceptional manoeuvrability, with very high roll and turn rates
- Effective suspended armament choices for ground strike
- Access to the AS-20 Nord air-to-ground missile that can destroy any tank
- Two 30 mm DEFA cannons available
- Can carry 4 x AS-20 Nord missiles unlike most other jet fighters which only can carry two
- Small burst of 30 mm cannons is enough to fully destroy a plane especially in the head-on situations
- Has access to drag chute, its very effective for losing speed when landing on the small airfields
- The 30 mm cannons have very good penetration can destroy light tanks through the hull and other main battle tanks through the roof
Cons:
- Slower than most of its contemporaries
- Very fragile airframe
- Poor energy retention
- Fairly low ammo count for the guns means that you need to be conservative with your ammo
- Wing snaps off when sharply turning at speeds above 700 kph

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