Abilities

One special and one passive, both unique to this aircraft. The values below each are what it does at every level it can reach.

special

Edge Boost

A brief burst of acceleration and speed and a slightly longer boost to maneuverability. The base cooldown is 30 seconds, but is shorter based on how close to terrain you are when you activate the ability, so skillful users can chain boosts together. Max Speed: +80m/s and Acceleration: +60 m/s/s.

Every stat

Bar length is where this aircraft ranks against the whole roster, always with best at full length. The label is the real value, and where the wiki defines a stat its own description sits underneath.

Nothing strictly beats it

No aircraft in the roster matches or beats the JF-17 Thunder 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 JF-17 Thunder 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.
