addedWhat can it do?The Su-17 shares many of the strengths and weaknesses with the Viggen. They carry similar loadouts and share the power of being able to quickly getting into enemy territory for a quick airstrike and escape! However, the Su-17 has a unique feature that no other aircraft in Sky Knights has. It can sweep its wings! This changes the aerodynamics in several ways. In general, when you want to go fast, sweep the wings! When you want to turn and dogfight, extend the wings. And don't try to take-off or land with the wings in the sweeped position. It might not end well... :) The Viggen might have the stronger engine and a more powerful afterburner. So while a Viggen pilot may be able to kick in the afterburner to outrun a Su-17, the Su-17 is much faster than the Viggen if you're looking at the non-afterburning top speed. This makes the Su-17 much less fuel dependent high speed cruiser than the Viggen. Press the new Aircraft Ability button to change the wing sweep setting. By default it's Q (mouse/keyboard) or R3 (i.e press down thumbstick, on gamepad).
