I think Slyph meant that the S-3's engines are more powerful because it's more heavy fully loaded and it thus needs stronger engines than a fully loaded A-10 would need.That, or I'm an idiot. The second option is definitely a possibility, in past experience.

A-10's Max Takeoff weight is (approximately, don't remember the exact number) 50,000 lbs
Vikings is (approximately) 52,000 lbs.

But again, brain being weird today. Still feel like its skewing facts :l

Anyway, while I await a post from our remaining aviator, I think I shall unveil one of our next unlocks!A newcomer to the Ace Combat scene, hailing from the Far East, introducing....There's also the F-16 that will be unlocked, but who cares about the F-16? Everyone knows that's the first unlock, nothing new there.

I never used that thing when it was first unlocked. While I did fly it the first time I played the AC series, I never flew it as first after that. Always waited for the later planes :P
