The culmination of the Tiger line of lightweight fighters, the Supertiger sports advance aerodynamics and enormously powerful turbofan engine, giving the Supertiger prodigious performance. Early range shortcomings have been rectified with increased internal fuel, making this formidable interceptor and dogfighter able to outmaneuver the latest enemy fighters and SAM systems. WARNING: Just like the real T-38/F-5 family, it can be tricky to land. Once on runway, push forward to put weight on the nosewheel and brake cautiously to maintain the runway centerline.
