Saab 35FS/J35XS Draken Full Review - Should You Buy It? - Struggle Bus No Longer [War Thunder]

[@rexxar6969]

just purchased the j35xs, this plane is so fun to play! as tankenstein said it rarely goes into a full up tier match and six missiles just handy. J35XS usually get put into a lobby with many A10 & F5C that don't really know what they r doing so it's very easy to get multi kill with this thing.

[@SilentButDudley]

The truth is this thing gets clubbed by a lot of the 11.0 vehicles, but it gets down tiered so often that it does the clubbing, and it is extremely fun.

XS stands for Xtra Sidewinders

[@arcticwolfxxii9236]

nah XS stands for eXtra Small ammo count

[@LordGangrel]

I thought it was eXceSsive price

This is an underrated comment

[@BufferThunder]

BRO THIS PLANE IS SO FUN, as a swedish main, its nice to have a good high tier swedish premium plane. Also, the plane wasn't actually shipped to Finland. the Swedes gave the instructions to the Finns and the Finns built it with their own materials. The Finns put in better avionics, but at the cost of one 30mm cannon.

[@Ackz89]

I own f5c, av8a, a5c, sps-k, j35xs in the premium bracket and this little swede is by far the best jet for its BR. Often gets down tier into 9.7 and with 6 missiles it's an absolute monster. It's engine is good, it can climb and nose moves so easily to stay on people. It's worth noting that the stealth guns come from the right of the cockpit so when trying to use cannons just remember it's right of the reticule - I just roll left moving the right wing up vertically. Got my first 6 kill game in it last night, 3 of those with guns.

Im excited to see his review of the F-104 for Italy. I thought it would be a meme but I've been having a great time in it along with my buddy who has been playing the US starfighters. Oddly our main victims have been F-14's. My Italian crew needs some work since they are only level 24.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

From what I found playing the non-premium one, it suck stock. Like really really sucks. But once you get the 750s you are able to grind more efficiently and once you get the 9Js you are golden

[@CommentDweller]

man you always hit things when you don't miss.

[@alfacomander4726]

I'm using it in Sim and I can say for Sim it's about an 9.0 because there you need the element of surprise and that is almost guaranteed with that plane.

[@jackjin1623]

By Tankenstein's opinion, most if not all $70 prem jets gets a 7.75/10 Air rating. I thought there will be some variation here and there but nope, all 7.75

[@G91YS]

Yes, I liked Tankenstein before, but these top tier premiums reviews are so trash, he lost all credibility. Mirage F1 best premium? Let me tell you, I have 400 F1C games, and it IS BAD.

[@nikoclesceri2267]

TBF he states in every one that the MM has been really nice and that May effect the score

[@jackjin1623]

Look, I like Tankenstein and still will watches his videos on prem jet suggestions. I just find it hard to believe they all rank the same. Is it because he doesn’t want to piss off players or gaijin? So they all rank on the “high excellent”

[@renzy7393]

Is it normal to be facing Mig-23's in a Sea Vixen FAW in Air RB? I have faced them in around ten different games now. Also, could you review the Sea Vixen FAW Mk2? Thanks.

it's called poor gaijn matchmaking

Will you do a review for the Japan's premium F4EJ ADTW?

[@vavord5181]

Hello. No need to buy it. It's neither a good plane, nor a grinder for good tech tree. That's pretty much it.

[@BlackPantherFTW]

I feel like the only one who regularly uses those unguided rockets against air targets. It is so good in a head on I've gotten 4 kills just from that in one match

[@-Lazy]

I am scared because of my bad experience with the normal J35A I am soon rank 7 and I need something to get SL. A Draken with flares sounds nice, but I can't decide if the A5-C is a better option

[@romainmontauban]

J35 xs us better than f5 c trust me choose j35xs

[@calle7789]

Where did you get the austrian skin for the j35xs? Wart thunder live or purchased with GE?

[@Pecktackular-9000]

Its in the description i think

[@Netanya-q4b]

note the flares drop in pairs so you only get 6 drops

[@votangie13yearsago26]

If you bind it to another key you can drop 1 at a time

Still probably the best option for a high tier premium u can get (unless the SAAB-105 gets a fix/buff), for the tech-tree.

[@vaapps]

I just want a good draken in the tech tree

[@antonykuo3809]

Y didn’t you use the irst in this plane?

[@n1co2017]

completely off topic but i just saw a Tandem MAI in a battle today.

[@Tankenstein]

That person has their priorities in line

[@NoImNotBad]

so its 10.0 and i dont really want to use it for CAS but to patroll the sky, is it worth buying? (i have a 10.0 line-up atm)

[@kazrab8894]

1:56 so cinematic

[@JPp-000]

When pack sale coming?

[@AdaaDK]

the 9.7-10.7 bracket is horrible. always uptiers for 9.7 br planes atm. no doubt this plane is fun until they fix/or nerf/change the BR in any posible way.

[@JoaoJMatias]

Is this the pre-order camo or can I still get it?

[@ziggecigarr6150]

It is a user skin you download, so only you can se the skin

[@kagenesbitt9515]

Is there going to be a sale on high br prems/packs?

[@YeetThyBaby]

Probably shouldn't buy pixels for $70 USD

[@fate3071]

That's what I was thinking. Especially if you are above tier 4 in that nation. Wait for these to go on sale if you absolutely must have them
