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

in that case i like the typhoon the most

@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

Arguably the only plane better than the F-35 is the F-22.

The C variant and the A variant are the best because their wingspan is optimal for CAS and Dogfights

B variant is just to give USMC a placebo

And to Export

F-22 should be Mass produced again

Don't care how expensive

The US made a huge mistake by not producing more F-22s. They should have developed its air to ground capability and cut 350 F-35s in exchange for another 200 F-22s

The B only exists for the USMC obsession with STOL operations
