The J35D doesn't underperform in any area, even when stock. The J35D can be a bit "over the top" when it comes to in-game performance. This missile is heavily recommended for any pilot that wants to make the most out of their Draken. The RB24J air-to-air missiles allows the J35D to close the gap between the enemy and itself, no matter the difference in speed, making it one of the most important tools in the J35D's arsenal. This feature is incredibly helpful for the J35D, since most engagements forces the plane to slow down. Thanks to their supreme mobility, they can easily engage and destroy close opponents with minimal effort. These missiles have twice the G-load and a wider seeker, giving it a lot more flexibility than its older counterpart. The crown jewel of the J35D's modifications are the four RB24J air-to-air missiles carried under the same pylons as before. A wise J35D pilot will commence target practice with the guns prior to battle as they are important for the plane's overall survivability and combat effectiveness. This placement creates difficulty in complex manoeuvres, since putting the plane sideways creates a vertical spread. This makes the J35D lose effectiveness at certain ranges since the target has the chance to fly between the shells, and when hitting a target, the shells are unlikely to concentrate to a singular point, lowering the amount of damage created. This is a downgrade compared to the gun placement found on the earlier J32B since set convergence now plays a role. The two Akans are wing-mounted rather than center-mounted. Since the missiles are outdated RB24 missiles, a J35D pilot needs to be prepared to engage most enemies with these cannons rather than suspended armaments.Īnother issue with the J35D is the cannon placement. The cannons should be fired with caution in order to maximize the amount of damage they provide. Unlike the J32B, these cannons have 100 rounds each, giving the player a total of 200 shells. Although these guns are dangerous, they are quite limited by their ammunition count. These two cannons offer a high burst mass and velocity at medium ranges. The J35D is outfitted with two 30 mm Akan m/55 cannons, which are Swedish manufactured variants of the British ADEN cannons.

2 x 30 mm Akan m/55 cannons, wing-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total).

Avoiding incoming homing devices usually leads to deceleration, but with careful planning, this speed can always be regained thanks to the strong acceleration the engine provides. Although the plane becomes more sluggish at speeds close to 1,100 km/h, the J35D still manages to outmanoeuvre incoming missiles. The efficiency of the J35D significantly increases when played with higher speeds. Aerial manoeuvres should be avoided and turning has to be done slowly. In order to maximize the stored speed, the J35D should be flown carefully. This makes the J35D a unique flying experience where the player needs to be constantly aware of the current airspeed, while still avoiding dumping all speed at once. This lack of speed usually leaves the J35D vulnerable to enemy attacks, since avoiding missiles or gunfire becomes a lot more difficult. The J35D usually drops below 500 km/h airspeed when performing aggressive manoeuvres.

The cost of this manoeuvrability is the large reduction in speed when turning.

Having the lowest stall speed of any supersonic jet (78 knots, 145 km/h, equivalent to the Ho 229 V3 and Bf 109 E), it has slightly more than twice the available lift-weight capacity of the MiG-21MF (115 knots, 210 km/h), the J35D comfortably dogfights any opponent who dares to challenge it in a 1v1. Along with options for both anti-air and anti-ground rockets, the J35D becomes a versatile platform with a high potential thanks to unmatched manoeuvrability. This aircraft is outfitted with two wing-mounted Akan m/55 auto-cannons and up to four RB24/ RB24J missiles. This interceptor uses a double delta wing-configuration and a powerful Avon engine to achieve both excellent high and low-speed performance at various altitudes. The Saab J35D Draken is a highly agile interceptor of the Swedish aviation family.
