In the late 1960s, Germany and France saw the need to replace their aging fleets of trainers and light attack aircraft. A collaboration between Dornier and Dassault-Breguet resulted in the TA501 design, which was declared the winner of the competition. The aircraft’s initial design was focused around creating two main versions that would meet the requirements of both countries. The German version, designated Alpha Jet A (Appui), was focused on strike missions.
The prototype’s maiden flight took place in October 1973, and in 1979, the aircraft was officially accepted into service by the air forces of both countries. Thanks to its successful combination of simplicity, reliability, and versatility, the Alpha Jet also enjoyed high demand in the export market.
Introducing the Alpha Jet A JaboG 41!
Pre-orders for the premium German Alpha Jet A JaboG 41 have started today, where you can get yourself some sweet pre-order bonuses. The nimble Alpha Jet will be familiar to many of you, it features a good arsenal of ground attack weapons, and can fill the fighter role in air battles as well. Let’s take a closer look!
Many of you have already had a chance to appreciate the capabilities of the Alpha Jet A trainer jet. This compact and agile aircraft is a true master of ground attack, demonstrating its capabilities brilliantly in both air and mixed game modes. A rapid-fire 27 mm Mauser BK27 cannon is mounted on the central hardpoint under the fuselage, while underwing pods hold FFAR rockets and up to 6 x 250 kg bombs, including free-fall, incendiary, and drag bombs. The entire arsenal of secondary weapons is controlled by ballistic computers, and the German version is also equipped with countermeasures for self-defense against incoming missiles.
The premium version of the Alpha Jet A combat trainer bears the livery of the Luftwaffe’s 41st Fighter-Bomber Regiment (Jagdbombergeschwader 41, or JaboG 41 for short). The regiment began its history in 1959 and was based at Husum Airfield. In 1982, the regiment received Alpha Jet A attack aircraft, and before the regiment’s disbandment in 1993 following German reunification, its pilots logged nearly 110,000 flight hours in these aircraft.
The Alpha Jet A JaboG 41 will be coming to the game with the release of the next War Thunder update. Pre-order now before the update is released to receive the attack aircraft itself, a unique decal and title, a generous supply of Golden Eagles, and free days of Premium! See you in the next blog!
