Nothing strictly beats it

No aircraft in the roster matches or beats the A-4 Skyhawk on all 7 core stats at once. Something will be better at any one of them, but you are not flying a jet that another one simply replaces.

Where these numbers come from

Every published figure on this page is reproduced from the A-4 Skyhawk page on the MetalStorm wiki, as it stood on 2026-08-18. This tool copies the wiki, it does not measure the game, so a number you disagree with is a question for the wiki editors rather than for us. The exception is a number here that differs from the one there: that is a fault in this tool, and worth reporting.
