| Iron Fang |
We finally know what the Iron Fang looks like! As for performance, it will be the first agility class plane to add missile tracking, although this tracking will still be quite a bit lower than a good weapons class planes tracking. It will also be 2nd in class for speed, BEST IN CLASS for Critical Strike and BEST IN CLASS for EVASION. The Evasion boost has me the most interested. Evasion, if you remember, enables you to better avoid missiles which is ALWAYS a good thing! The one weak spot with the Iron Fang is agility - it is the ONLY agility class plane without a bump up in agility - translation - other Agility class planes are going to be able to get behind you easier, which to me is a deal breaker, as I feel that agility is one of the most important features of any agility class plane.
Tempting me for the past hour. Should I get it?
ReplyDeleteGot it!!!!!!!!!! Went to versus mode and powned a eagle x 2-0! I didn't make one upgrade.
DeleteI would get it because it is only out for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteJust to have Copperheads plane is enough reason for me...if I want to go into versus mode I will just get in the ol hawken or the dragon in survival mode or sentinel in campaign mode...I just want to have it.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone buy a tigris when iron fang is out? Tigris's stats are +7% missile tracking iron fang has 8, +3% crit str rating iron fang has 5, and they both tie for speed. Get the iron fang.
ReplyDeleteForgot that the tigris has 10% missile reload while iron fang has 10% evasion. But considering that you're geting the SAME percentage for an impotant stat, and that the iron fang beats the tigris in two areas for only 160 coins, the tigris is SHIT. Also the iron fang looks amazing. I would know cause I have it.
Deletedo you guys know the difference between a weapon class and an agility class? In the upgrade tree, weapon class gives you 20% tracking and only 9 for agility class... +8% on Iron fang is nothing useful
DeleteTigris Is Weapons Class and Iron Fang Is bEST AGILITY Plane... Tigris is Twice as Good in attack But Half as Good in AgileDefense.. Go for IranFang to Kill Tigris with Cannons alone.... Iron Fang has Zero Stealth Bonus and Tigris has Ordinary Lock Speed though Better Missile Reload... I could Make my opponent WASTE alot of missiles By Dodging him with superior Agility Quality of Iron Fang and Hit from Behind...
DeleteI shared these thoughts on another site:
ReplyDeleteSome thoughts about Iron Fang. Seems quite fragile. Easy to be blown up with a single shot. Just got owned 4-0 by Wraith and I rarely lose more than 0-1. Agility not as good as most other agility class planes. Lacking in energy. I ran out of energy while trying to dodge a few missiles on the initial spawn, could not dodge at that point and was quickly blown out of the sky. It's tougher to get past the initial incoming missile barrage as opposed to Reaper, Spectre and the like. Haven't noticed that the plane seems any more evasive, despite the evasion bonus. On the plus side, missiles track better and I do notice more critical strikes. I also notice more of a difference between Phoenix and RAAM missiles. The RAAMs track like crazy and Phoenix only seems (maybe) marginally better. Of course, because it's less agile than most, it's also tougher to get into a good position to fire off some good shots in the first place.
wow, its true that this plane is a good upgrade of c101 annihilator.. speed wise better than spectre.. the missile tracking (raam) superb.. evasion can handle 2 or 3 bisnoobat/lancers in head to head.. critical strike its a good bonus..
ReplyDeleteits a combined plane of liberty, rw and zyphyr all together. And the missile reload too its faster than any agility plane i guess.
If you guys are good in c101 annihilator there should be no problem using this plane in vs mode!
Anybody thinks it's funny that Copperhead flies the iron fang?
ReplyDeleteUh, who doesn't know that. Is I'd funny that Vargas flies in Red Widow?
DeleteYou know that Vargas dies in the third mission but, why does she still give me those restocking orders after that?
ReplyDeletelol good one
Deletewho says she dies in Third Mission its only Captain Nympho and the ship which gets Blown up...
DeleteShe was on the ship
Delete.:Arman92:.
if there are agility, not critical damage then i am surely buy.
ReplyDeleteI would give up the missile tracking for aglity and the critical strike rating for energy.
ReplyDelete^^^saratoga
DeleteThis plane has the lowest upgraded agility stats out of ALL agility class planes -_-
ReplyDeleteDont Discount Evasion because thats Agility Too for the Opponent! 20 Bonus Evasions are Making it Superior AgileEvader
Deleteanyone want to play survival and beat wave 20 with me. ive done it but anyone who needs help im there i have a fully upgraded dragon
ReplyDeletegamertag: richwh
I got a fully upgraded Hawken
Deletei will fly with u richwh
ReplyDeleteI powned of the reaper with iron fang 9-0! The evasion adds the agility aswell. So there is no need for agility. Iron fang feels like it has the best agility. But i cant wait for the W-113 Rath. If your thailand trick is working you can use it now. I dont know why it doesnt work for me now. It used to work.
ReplyDeleteif you got the new update, that is why it won't work anymore
DeleteSince the Sentinel release, it has become my plane of choice.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought the Dragon but found it a little disappointing. Ok, it might be the best plane (except Green Eagle) for Survival and it is almost indestructible in Campaign. But it is really too slow for versus mode (even fully upgraded)! The worst may be the lack of speed rather than agility. I gave it a shot a couple of times but then I decided to leave it in my hangar for versus mode.
Before going back to my Sentinel, I tried a few games with my Zephyr. I bought this plane a few months ago but did not use it since I got the Sentinel, which provided me with better results right off the bat. Thus, I took my Zephyr out of the hangar the other day and I was really surprised. It was so easier and funny to catch opponents! Unfortunately, I did not get a lot of victories. I played several games with RAAMS+credit cannons vs a Sentinel+Bisnos and the guy ended up winning 1-0 or 2-1 although I was able to hit him much more frequently than he did. I was also defeated by a Thresher player but the game was really interesting and I was often able to dodge him.
I relalized that flying skills have largely improved and I m much more comfortable in the flying circus since I left my Zephyr.
For now, I m thinking about trying more with my Zephyr or another agility plane. However, it really lacks firepower and resistance. I was wondering if it would be really different with another plane, especially the Reaper, which has both more damage and more armor. But one guy in this forum said that the extreme speed and agility made this plane hard to control if you are not a very advanced player. My current SR is 4.5K, do some players with similar SR use this plane? Most of the Reaper pilots that I ran into were more than 10 or several dozens of K. I have more than 400 coins but I was saving for the Red Widow (I'm still hoping they will release it again...). What would you suggest?
Get this plane! Then when z2 releases the red widow again, you can copy Vargas and Copperhead!
DeleteSentinel is technically Superior To Redwidow , each with its merits and demerits....Fully upgraded with good Pilot Sentinel is near invinsible in weapons category.. It has Superior Defense and attack stats ( Including Cannoning , Missiling Armor , Energy and AGILITY).
DeleteAs for Agility class plane... Iron Fang is Technically Best In Class and Can Give Headache to Sentinel ...
"I relalized that flying skills have largely improved and I m much more comfortable in the flying circus since I left my Zephyr."
ReplyDeleteI was meaning that at the time I left my Zephyr a few weeks ago, my flying skills were probably not good enough to appreciate an agility plane. But since then, it has significantly improved.
Thanks for your advice.
@The Kid Why do you want a red widow?
ReplyDelete1/ because it's a top notch plane. Agree that when you have already a Sentinel like me, it will probably not add much in versus but 2/...
Delete2/ because it's the most beautiful plane for me
Why do you think I would not want a Red Widow?
DeleteI have currently a Sentinel, a Dragon and a Zephyr, all fully upgraded.
Any suggestions about how to spend my coins are welcome !-)
Except offering my coins to anyone of you :-)

ReplyDeleteIRON FANG: REVIEW ( My SR is 15,500 and I have always preferred the agility class planes)
ReplyDeleteIf you have skills, the Fang is a fantastic versus mode option. However, those who are new or those who prefer weapons/defensive class will probably hate this plane. Also, don't plan on using this plane until you fully upgrade it, it's worthless until you can max everything out.
Strengths:
- The Evasion boost makes the Fang almost impossible to hit, even against Bisnos
- Speed boost awesome and makes it easy to keep from getting hit in a head-to-head
- Agility is still good enough to out maneuver an opponent but won't happen just by following the red arrow
- Missile tracking is a great boost and really helps, especially with RAAM's
Weaknesses:
- Energy is low and if not careful, you could find yourself easily out of energy after 4-5 swipes
- Damage is low and requires you to hit your opponent with a few more missiles than with Reaper or Spector
- Missile Lock is slow and can make you very vulnerable if you aren't careful when making passes at an opponent
Net-net, this is a must have plane for all agility class pilots. It is one of the few new planes that actually add a new dimension to the game. It was tough learning how to fly this plane, but now that I have I have yet to lose a match. I destroy those with SR's of 15,000 and below and I usually draw or win against anyone higher than 15,000. I've even beat four or five 50,000+ players in the past few days.
The Iron Fang is quite the Agility class fighter, don't let the no agility fool you. Ay my skill level of 3000, it has so far remained undefeated against lower skill level enemies and has given me a chance to beat... i think this was my first time I beat someone with 15 000 skill level. I had predicted that it would be a weapons-class killer, and indeed it has fared well against weapons class. I did not yet max it out, meaning that this thing isn't at its best yet either!. No kinetic transducer, micro thrusters or Armor overdrive system, of which only the latter can be ignored.
DeleteFeel:
Entering a game with an Iron Fang is probably most like entering a game of Russian Rouelette as, when compared to agility class, there is more of a chance to win, and at the same time, a larger chance to loose. You must remember to have enough energy to maneuver, so if you maneuver on impulse like me you'd find that you'd have low energy really quickly.
I haven't found how helpful the evasion boost is yet because I havent yet upgraded micro thrusters, but I think that if I had another agility class in the same situation, I wouldn't even get into dogfight range.
Overall, What Learned_Chin said, only that I have yet to see all of the pros due to it not being yet fully upgraded. At the same time, I am still not sure how I beat two 15 000 skill pilots with the Iron Fang so it must be good...
Guten Tag, Der Rote Baron here. I bough this magnificent plane too...actually I bought it yesterday using Saudi Arabia. I'm a big fan of the Russian based fighters like Iron Fang, U-9 Raider, and the beloved P-79 Spectre. While I bought the Iron Fang and almost have it upgraded fully (only missing the last three upgrades). I also bought the U-9 Raider (the camouflage got the better of me)and I upgraded it only for the credit uprgrades. My first survival match in the Fang was a rocky start seeing as I'm used to the Reaper's speed and turn-on-a-dime handling but after wave 10 I was getting comfortable. After making it to wave 18, I decided to try out my new Raider and it's handling was even better than the Fang. How can that be? The Raider has less speed and energy and everything compared to the Fang. Seeing as how the Raider handles better than the Fang makes me regret wasting those coins on its upgrades. Can anyone shed some light on my Raider vs Iron Fang problem?
DeleteToday, I was matched with many Bisnovats pilots who after the match, seemed to have run out of amo and switch to standard issue. However, during the rematch, the "standard issue" tracked despite my side-swipe at full speed. In fact each missile took out almost half of my health in the u-9 raider which I have fully upgraded and become an ace in. Standard issue huh??? Is this some sort of hack or bug, because after the match, it clearly showed standard issue.
ReplyDelete...it wasn't any plane with extra missile tracking either- I'll try to post some links
... Please reply-am I the only one with this problem????
its a bug from this version 4.1.1. don't worry bout it z2 knows bout it! and your not alone having that issue...
DeleteThat happened to me as well.
DeleteTotally true!
ReplyDeleteJust played a guy with Bisnos. He won. Rematch: switch to "standard issue", but he was still able to hit me easily and inflict high damage and won again. Right after the fight, I choose"new opponent" rather than rematch but I was immediately redirected to him... and this sucker had bisnos!! Of course, he could never have enough time to buy new missiles... Hackers kill the game.
but whats the use, no matter how we say that hackers-cheaters-jailbreakers-etc ( whatever they are called ) . The point is - They are allowed to do that right ?? I assuming here and would appreciate if someone can enlighten my poor knowledge - please
DeleteI am buying a high end plane. Should I get the Thresher or the Arbiter? Or should I get the Eagle?
ReplyDeleteI already own the Hawken.
Thresher don't get the arbiter or eagle x they're bad planes arbiter is the worst top tier plane and since you have the hawker there's no need for eagle x
DeleteWhy would anyone Buy and arbiter or Thresher... Go for Iron Fang
DeleteBought it and tried around 50 rounds with it but switched back to my Zephyr at last.Im not gonna touch it again until Im a Very Skillful agility user.
ReplyDelete(fighting with the weapons is never a problem, but there's something wrong with the other skilled agility planes...My current SR is 11K).
hey this is richwh (GC) anyone want to start a clan email me at pvriper@gmail.com and send a friend request to me.
ReplyDeleteHi richwh,
DeleteI was happy to play survival yesterday with you. The first time I passed wave 20! Dragon is definitely the best plane for survival.
richwh,I added you, I am jidikirhvg, can you help me sometime soon?
DeleteBuy the newest plane its the best
ReplyDeleteGuys guys.. Save for the mako!!
ReplyDeletei am not feeling that this one is better than thresher. Thresher has 15% evasion and well balanced.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell what the best weapons Class plane is?
ReplyDeleteFor versus and survival, probably Hawken due to its Agility and Missile Reload bonuses. For campaign, I'd say Sentinel.
DeleteForgot the Red Widow, which is (in my opinion) better than the Hawken.
DeleteRedwidow is generally Better in Weapon class Fight.
DeleteHawken is superior against Defense Class Due to Better Missile tracking.
against Agility Class RedWidow is Superior Due to Better Weapons Ability.
As my SR progressively increases (4.6K), I run into more and more players with agility planes. I usually play with Sentinel, but do you think it's worth to switch to an agility plane at one point, or do weapon planes remain a good choice even at higher SR?
ReplyDeleteSo would everyone agree that the Hawken is one of the best weapons class planes? Where does the Eagle X fall in the rankings?
ReplyDeleteIn my view,a Hawken is even better than a Red Widow, and it just costs some green coins.
ReplyDeleteI respect your choice. The thing is that EVERYBODY HAS A HAWKIEN! I'm currently waiting for red widow to come out so I can dominate the skies while copying Vargas and copperhead (I own the iron fang)! Many of you might say I'm wasting my coins and I'm an idiot. But if you hurl abuse at me I'll hurl some back.
DeleteTry Sentinel instead of Red Widow... You Own Best Agility Plane IronFang Why Not own Sentinel ( The Best Weapons Class ) and NightWing The best defense Class.
DeleteFree blue Coins. Are not Available. Somebody else got this too? Already 2 day not
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean when you are saying this?
DeleteZ2 agility class plane with the following stats please for one month
ReplyDelete+5 agility
+16 speed
+7 missile damage
+ 4 energy
80000 credits
They should make the F-117 Nighthawk
ReplyDelete+16 stealth
+13 agility
+12 armour
+10 missile reload
100000 credits
Good idea, but 10000 credits would be better.
DeleteI have this plane, and I use it loads, I like agility class planes, it is a great step up from defence class too!, it's best point is getting out and recovering from close fights, if you get the chance, buy it now!
ReplyDeleteI have been flying my Reaper for a while but finally decided to take my upgraded Fang into the Versus world ... that wasn't pretty. Since I've only really flown Turn-and-burn style with my Reaper, how do you fight with a slower turner like the Fang (or any weapons plane). Sometimes I get demolished by weap players doing flips and firing missiles down my throat, but I couldn't do anything against some higher Agi planes today. How do you do it (or should I just stick to my Reaper? :-)
ReplyDelete... also, twice in a row did I get friends requests telling me I was a cheater and a hacker. Since I'm neither, what is it they're seeing that makes them think I am? The Fang shouldn't be (unless they missed the weekend it was out). Could it simply be me lagging? They looked smooth, so I'm not sure what was going on.
ReplyDeleteIsail, my tip is to go and upgrade it, then it becomes the ultimate adrenalin plane. So fast, so good at turning, and it gets critical strike constantly, it is so cool!
DeleteI have it fully upgraded. My problem is that I'm a true turn-and-burn pilot and I don't know how to deal with the higher Agi planes. With my Reaper my first choice is always turn and only use other maneuvers to reposition and evade. I have to learn some new tricks now :-)
DeleteHere is some more advice, put on a solid dogfight with lower agi planes and possibly some weap(ie eagle, wraith, sentinel), and all def planes( for those, you can do turn-n'-burn, since they are so not agile. But B ware when you see a sphinx, dogfight with him, then).
DeleteIf you have a Hawken, or possibly a sky demon, then you should do a bull run tactic. I learned this from metalstormforever, you simply run away, then after 5-10 seconds, swipe the screen DOWN to make a 180 turn, you should be able to ko your enemy( do NOT try this on high agi planes, they will kill you before you even turn around).
If you have a f-113 eagle x or similar ( on the lock range stats) , you can simply wait, then when you see your enemy, you simply hunt him with your food lock range ( since if he is far, you can still hunt and possibly kill him. But be aware, if your enemy locks you on the back, u r dead, so you should turn in a wide circle to avoid it.
Hi my name is frank Vermeer,
ReplyDeleteI am 44 years old and single.
I wanne learn more cheat for metalstorm wingman
Gr. Killbil68
I've got the Red Widow (Vagas' plane) and the Iron Fang (Copperhead's plane)
ReplyDeleteMe 2 , with red widow I koed a green eagle 2 to nothin
DeleteWith iron fan I koed a sky demon 5 to 3
I have the Hawken. I cant decide whether to get the red widow or the iron fang. Which should I get.
ReplyDeleteOne of the BEST agility planes out their....
ReplyDeleteI've been usin it for long time..... It's good everywhere from campaigns to versus and survival...
I reach wave 18-19 easily with it..... (my iron fang is fully upgraded)
In versus I can beat weapon class too ( not always , cus of very skilled players out their too)
But it can beat any other defence and mostly agility class too cus of high evasion....
MUST HAVE AGILITY PLANE !! :)
Great but odd plane it has gotten me to wave 23 in survival but it is also very in agile for an agility class but in my opinion worth the money because it is an interesting plane to fly and before I bought the striker it was my go to plane
ReplyDeleteCelt1c sa1nt
