Performance
The Pyro is extremely maneuverable. It has one of the tightest turning circles and best accelerations of any conventional aircraft, and with full upgrades it can be one of the best planes in a dogfight. Its rudder controls are very sensitive, similar to the Rogue.
- Above 250 meters (820 feet) it reaches 358.5 km/h (225.7 mph).
- Its acceleration beats the P-996 Lazer, though it cannot match the jet boost of the LF-22 Starling.
- The landing gear is spread so that it stays stable on most landing zones and tips over less than the Lazer when taxiing in sharp turns.
The design is mostly based on the De Havilland Vampire, with a single jet engine in the fuselage and the tail booms mounted on the wings.
