With four Mk V Hispano cannons, and a staggeringly large ammo reserve, the Wyvern is more than equipped to quickly dispatch any aircraft that end up in front of it. These are the strengths that any pilot of the Wyvern should always exploit, by employing Boom & Run tactics on enemies. Speed, climb rate, and armament are the Wyvern's only real method of taking out enemy aircraft.
16 x RP-3 rockets + 1 x 450 mm 18 inch Mark XV torpedo.The Wyvern S4 can be outfitted with the following ordnance: As happens in jet aircraft, the turboprop engine found on the Wyvern will take a fairly long amount of time to react to changes to the throttle meaning the Wyvern pilot will struggle to regain speed if the throttle is dropped at any point, such as to recover from a vertical stall manoeuvre. This focus on simply flying straight is further amplified by the turboprop's ability, or lack thereof, to quickly react to input changes. Unless absolutely necessary, avoid performing any but the most gentle of manoeuvres in this 7 tonne beast. Whilst it has the speed, the Wyvern can turn very fast but as mentioned it will lose this speed in the turn very quickly. Even minor adjustments will cause the fighter to bleed speed at an alarming rate, with full-out turns able to halve the aircraft's speed before it has even completed a 180. Coming in at a heavy 7 tonnes with no payload, or 9 and a half tonnes with its maximum payload, the Wyvern's speed suffers when performing any manoeuvre bar going in a straight line. Though it can go incredibly fast, this is solely due to the aircraft's powerful turboprop engine. Being able to maintain nearly 640 km/h in level flight without a payload, even enemies diving on the Wyvern will have trouble catching up, and will quickly fall behind as they lose energy. At sea level, where the engine functions at maximum capacity, the Wyvern is almost uncatchable.
Though the Wyvern does have an above average climb rate due to its powerful engine, it functions best near sea level. Though a prop aircraft, the Wyvern functions very similar to jet aircraft in play style, due to the nature of its weight and engine. The Wyvern S4, being a turboprop, is an exceptionally fast aircraft for its battle rating. Although the Boom & Zoom attack will most likely bleed the Wyvern's speed very quickly, employing Boom & Run instead of this attack is recommended when possible. Keeping altitude at 3,000 and doing Boom & Zoom or Boom & Run attacks are of the most successful fighting doctrines. As the Wyvern does not have a compressor of any sorts, engine power drops significantly above 3,000 m.
The Wyvern is also a strong fighter, below 3,000 m.
One of its most popular payloads, 16 x RP-3, enables it to destroy a large amounts of targets with medium armour like light pillboxes and up to heavy tanks. The Wyvern is an aircraft that can carry a large payload so it can be used in the strike fighter role. This engine enables it to exceed 600 km/h in level flight. The Wyvern S4 can carry great amounts of payload due to its distinctive feature, the turboprop powerplant.
