About
The Alpha Jet A is a subsonic Franco‑German light-attack trainer featured as an event plane. It has twin Larzac turbofans, rides clean at ~1000 kph, and is equipped with a 27 mm BK‑27 cannon pod and AIM‑9L missiles. It also carries rockets and light bombs while boasting solid maneuverability
Playstyle
This jet shines in close dogfights: high turn rate (~30°/s) lets it pull tight maneuvers at ~765 kph with decent energy retention. Load one gunpod, AIM‑9s, or add bombs/rockets for ground work—but avoid fights with heavy payloads
