here its the 22nd
What does everyone think of the vision jet??
Vision jet is CHONK
quirky
The second one an Embraer @mangus.aviation
its a 145 i think
or 140
i dunno
but JSX is expensive af
only reason people will use them is if they want to skip regular poor people terminal and just go straight to the plane
Best eurocanard. Change my mind.
maybe
if you count russia as euro i guess su-33 is cool
It can carry over 20,000 pounds of weapons
Eurocanards are the Typhoon, Rafale and Gripen.
oh
@Dr Badass PhD
A hard choice out of the three. The Gripen E is arguably the best value; however, that being said the rafale has an impressive payload, though the Eurofighter is arguably a slightly better air superiority fighter than the rafale
The F/A-18E block III with the EPEs is just insane tho
I would argue the F/A-18 family is the most underrated fighter family at the moment
Mostly because of the success of F-14
But F/A-18 is not bad
The 14 just doesn’t have good AOA performance
But it was extremely successful against 19's, 21's, 23's and 29's
The F-14 is a great interceptor and long range strike, but honestly the hornet is a far better match to counter fighters such at the Su-35
I'd say they all excel at their particular roles
The YF-23 should have also been procured, change my mind
But the Su-35 would be a tough opponent to the F-14.
The F-14 would be slaughtered
Not really, the AIM-54 Phoenix missile would lock on from 64kms away and keep it on its toes
In BVR it would be a decent fight
Closer ranges eh not too good for the Tomcat
But once a close quarters dogfight is brought into the equation (yes they are rare) the 14 would just not have the AOA for the job
If the F-14 has an exceptional pilot then the Su-35 would lose.
Sure the missile ain't capable enough but it's long range enough to keep him on its toes
Now a really underated plane is the F-35
Agreed
