The Kruger L21 Wolf buyers guide highlights the ship as a high-end, military-style fighter with a sleek, luxury design inspired by WWII German fighters, offering strong speed and firepower but limited maneuverability and armor. While praising its unique features and bespoke weapons, the hosts note it is still a work in progress and suggest it is best earned in-game, appealing to players who appreciate Kruger’s style and want to support the manufacturer’s growth in Star Citizen.
In this detailed buyers guide for the Kruger L21 Wolf in Star Citizen, hosts Al and Argid explore the ship’s features, background, and gameplay characteristics while also announcing a giveaway of a game pack containing the Wolf. They highlight that the Wolf is a high-end, military-style fighter from Kruger, a manufacturer now positioned as a competitor to Origin in the premium ship market. The ship features two size four ballistic cannons and bespoke weapons, with a nod to the classic James Bond aesthetic through hidden guns and luxury design elements. The hosts also note that the ship is still a work in progress, lacking component access and some polish, likely rushed to meet release schedules.
The Wolf’s design pays homage to World War II German fighters, particularly the Focke-Wulf 190, reflected in its intimidating stance and cockpit placement. This connection is reinforced by skins and naming conventions that reference historic warplanes, continuing Kruger’s trend seen in other ships like the Merlin. Despite its sleek and elegant appearance, the ship is described as a glass cannon — fast and powerful but lacking in armor and somewhat stiff in maneuvering. The hosts discuss how the ship’s fixed maneuvering thrusters contribute to its handling challenges and speculate on the possibility of a future racing variant that could improve agility.
Gameplay-wise, the Wolf excels in speed and firepower, with large ammo capacity allowing sustained combat, though its guns can overheat against tankier opponents. The bespoke weapon animations are praised for their quality, but the hosts express a desire for more weapon variety, such as laser options, which Kruger currently does not produce. The ship’s entry and exit animations and landing gear suspension receive positive remarks for their detail, though bugs in the current PTU build, like crashes when entering third-person view, are acknowledged as areas needing improvement.
The guide also touches on practical considerations such as ship size, which is slightly larger than the Aurora and may not fit into all small ship bays, and the price point of around $100, positioning it as a premium light fighter. The hosts debate whether the extra cost over similar fighters like the Gladius is justified by the Wolf’s luxury branding and unique design. They emphasize that while it is a solid fighter, it is best earned in-game rather than purchased outright, appealing mainly to those who appreciate Kruger’s style and want to support the manufacturer’s growth within the game.
In conclusion, the hosts express excitement about Kruger’s future in Star Citizen, hoping to see more ship variants and possibly starter or medium ships with detailed interiors that reflect Kruger’s luxury and military blend. They invite viewers to share their thoughts on the Wolf, its bespoke weapons, and what they would like Kruger to develop next. The video ends with a reminder to subscribe and participate in the giveaway, underscoring the community engagement around new ship releases and manufacturer diversity in Star Citizen.
