Anything lying on the ground thats a twisted mess of burning rubble.

Why can't people just READ?

There, topic title updated to make it clear what the thread is supposed to be about.

OP: if you want I'll reset the poll.

Everyone else: Stay on topic please.

are u serious?


the eurofighter isn't compatible at all with a mouse i tried it on training map its too fast and its just horrible.

My vote was based only on handling and performance, it had nothing to do with patriotism (I'm not even american) or coolness.
Anyway, I'm gonna make it clearer:

Favorite AA (air-to-air) aircraft: F-16 Falcon
Favorite AG (air-to-ground) aircraft: A-10 Thunderbolt

The controls for both seem OK in my opinion, as I've played many flight simulators, so I know what I'm talking about. However, I can't tell how accurate or realistic they are compared to flying a jet in real life.

Sorry that I wasn't specific before.

Favorite fixed wing in PR: A10 and Eurofighter.

Its not hard to see who actually spends time flying or practicing in each post. Just a heads up, I tend to ignore posts with the words "mouse" and "keyboard" in them.

i prefer the F16, i have tried the eurofighter, but i just cant see the damn hud

AtA engagements: F-16. I'm not sure why, but even with full sensitivity cranked up in the in-game and on my stick, MiG's just turn slower than the F-16's I feel like, although the problem may just be because I don't reduce throttle for tight turns. Also, the F-16's have the extra ammunition needed to take out pesky Arabian aircraft who managed to evade your missles. And the handling just seems...smoother. I preferred the MiG's in .6 simply because of the speed of the thing.

AtG engagements: Su-25. I love the A-10 and all, but the Frogfoot is just so much faster and more maneuverable than the A-10 (and I'm not quite sure if that's the way the DEVs wanted it...is it?) and is a solid can-opener provided I'm getting targets marked for me like ground attack jets are supposed to have. Also equipped to handle infantry by the truckload with their useful rockets.

I left consideration of the J-10 and Eurofighter out because I go blind when I'm flying in that map and can't see where I'm going w/o the radar, much less take into account the handling and combat capabilities of the damn jet. Hopefully a sky-swatch swap will be in order.

Its lovely if you use a joystick, don´t expect to be able to control aircraft well with a mouse and keyboard...

Its piss easy to controll jets with KB&M, so i have no idea why ppl are crying

true, no prob with kb&m or even keyboard only.
I dont get this discussion though. I mean the overall handling isnt exactly right with em being able to turn around their axis like a merry go round on fast forward.
you can for example do a left turn and instantly start rolling to the right as if kinetic and centrifugal force hasnt been invented yet.
or the fact it takes longer to align for a decent flight path than rising.

so why pick a favourite when the handling has been changed to suite stick users, but besideds being digestible for em is quite, well, bonkers?
( and this only covers handling and not weapon systems)

typhoon anyday!

best handeling and power in the game! also with good targets pretty lethal against tanks.

Blame EA, also, there's no such thing as centrifugal force.

SU-25 Frogfoot, Absolutely loves it turn radius, extreme performance, landing is easy, and evading locks is easy.

Beats the A-10, but RL the A-10 Would kill it

My favourite is the Su-25. Can turn really well and its weaponry does the job when needed. One problem with it is that it I need a really long run up to land it

F16. Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee.

Closely followed by the A10, MIG and EF
