Viking Fury | SAAB Viggen

The SAAB Viggen was a Swedish Cold War Interceptor (JA37 family), but also received ground attack variants (AJ/AJS-37 family) that were known for being able to fly low and fast, which was especially important for a 60s era fighter/bomber. It has even been confirmed that the Viggen is the only aircraft to have radar locked and caught up to a damaged SR-71 flying at extremely high speeds, just showing the power that the Viggen's engines had. It is also the first aircraft with the double-delta wing which provided benefits at high speeds, but caused frequent compressor stalls when performing high-alpha maneuvers during a dogfight.

[@phantom_phlyer4]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed and I think I might be doing some more Swedish aircraft edits. Would love to touch on the Gripen at some point

Still ranks as one of the best low-level strike platforms ever fielded… and an absolute delight to fly in DCS. Just smart enough to take the worst of the heads-down work off the pilot, not smart enough to do everything for the pilot.

Maybe it's my American-ism, but I struggled to use her in DCS (using a trial), but I will say she is an absolutely beautiful aircraft esthetically speaking

⁠​⁠@@phantom_phlyer4The CK-37 computer definitely takes getting used to, but once you start to understand how it functions and the limitations of it, it’s remarkably easy to put ordinance on target.
Out of curiosity, what was your biggest sticking point on it? I’ve been running the Viggen as my go-to platform for a while now and understand how to get the most out of her, and I would be glad to help you past whatever hurdle you hit.

@@patricksawyer9779 While I don't own the plane (used it for a trial), for me it was the lack of straightforward-ness of operating the different A2G weapon systems that you would find in an American or Russian aircraft as the knobs seemed quite confusing with labeling and there were some other things about it I don't remember, but that was the main one
