I can understand the F5 and F16 connection because they had a very similar design philosophy.
Edit: Tomcat is my favourite too. She isn’t very stealthy and she was a big girl but if you look that good why would you want to hide?
Tomcat be THICC
@@notaveragecr6041 Only the THICC-est!
The Hellcat was a absolute monster in WW2. It was a extremely feared plane by the Japanese near the of the Pacific War. Along with the F4U Corsair.
The F4U was a pain to land on a carrier deck though.
The F4U is my favourite propeller plane ;)
My favorite aircraft is the F/A-22A Raptor. It looks so cool and it got internal weapon bay, even the gun uses High-Speed door.
The A-10 has always been amazing.
Deaf And Destruction BRRRT
@@activace dont forget its big ass bomb that i used to bomb the airborne fortress in ace combat x skies of deception
activace the triangle wing you talk about is a delta wing right bud
BRRRRR!!!!
The Typhoon is build with delta-wings and it is build to be aerodynamically unstable to be more agile
For the incredible instability it uses 7 supercomputers to accommodate for the instability using the frontal canards

The B-2A doesn't have black paint, it's radar-absorbing material that happens to be black

There isn't paint on the B2 but their is a coating that helps protect the metal from the elements. Its very delicate and costly to refinish but advances in tech have made it less of a issue.
Ace combat 4 is amazing in so many ways. The music is the best
OG LUNG BUSTA Agreed, AC04 is in it’s own league. My top favorite no doubt
To me, it has the best mission replay system. When I watch the replay of my missions I can switch to missle view, which is fucking cool, to bomb view, etc. Also, on the sea missions I would get about 5 feet about the water and engage auto pilot so on the replay I would look like a hovercraft... My favorite Ace Combat is Zero but Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies is definitely #2 on my list yo...
1. Tomcat

The Tomcat is still my favorite
this is the way
@@DesertPunks this is indeed the way

Did you say Tomcat !!!!!;)
"Something you'll see in Battlefield 1." Talking about a Hellcat, which served in WW2.
I love love love the rear end of the tomcat, that flat part in the back just gets me going hahaha
Check out the F-111 bombers. Look like BIG Tomcats. Even has the "swing wing" design.
(Sooh-koy) that's how it's pronounced
Nah, nah, nah, it's сука блять
Su-koy?
Or
Suk-hoi?
@@yoboyshane.9579 su-koy
@@Siamzero1994 nice
There is something called a SU-30SM(which is my favorite) which is basically a two-seater version the Su-37
there is a 2-seater version of the terminator? i have to thank you bc i didnt know.
F-16C, I'd remembered playing Zero with that thing, and my bro's friend preferred the MiG-21
berkut: "bro give me some more development"
Felon: "fuck you it's mine no-"
Checkmate: "hello"
activace watch TOP GUN, the Tomcat was famous in that movie
I use the Zero in ring matches, My favorites were F14 variants, and the Rafale M Vent d'Ange
I love your videos I love what you're doing thank you and keep up the good work

F-18C is a regular Hornet. E/F are the Super Hornets.
My buddy and his girl both work for Boeing, he works with the next gen F-15E Strike Eagle, and she works with the F-22 Raptor
It's really when people play games like this and are super in to the game but then they have absolutely no idea what there talking about..
the F16s are such beauties. especially the high thrust to weight ratio
The tomcat is my favorite plane because it looks just amazing☺

My favorite has to be the F-4 Phantom II. It was dubbed "The Worlds Leading Distributor of MIG Parts."
The Su-47 isn't the first aircraft to have it's wings swept forward. NASA have done experiments into that as well with their X-planes. Ultimately it was simply considered not worth the drawbacks. Also, the aircraft you're talking about is the (cancelled) PAK-FA.The A-10 isn't made for air to ground and slow is considered an advantage. That's why it's so slow.The F-22 IRL is the most lethal plane in the skies today. That's why it's so expensive.You have some Su-27s mixed in with your Su-37s. As the Su-37 is based off of the Su-27, it's understandable.It's designed to be low observable. That's why it's so quiet.
I was not fully aware of this, but yeah they're so similar in design that I missed it! I should really explore more into this kind of stuff.

The MiG-21 is scary good.
The A-10 is actually very maneuverable at low speeds
YF-23, the coolest plane ever created, in ace combat I think it somehow looks like an ADF prototype especially in that Z.O.E. skin
No love for the YF-23? I love its looks.
Ikr? I Adored It And Loved It More Than The F-22 A
It also had an interesting design process, there is a documentary about its development
Im impressed, you managed to sing the tomcat’s praises without mentioning top gun once
Hahaha, do people usually go for the Top Gun appraisal first?!
activace
They totally do, its almost like thats the only reason the tomcat is as known as it is, but she’s a beautiful plane, she doesn’t need top gun to be cool
The F-16 and F-5 are in similar roles, which is probably why they feel similar to you. Love the content btw
I appreciate you!
F14: I am turnfighter and I keep my speed up in dogfights
The F-16 fighting falcon (viper) (single seat) has always been my all time favorite
I gotta go with the Su-47 currently!
Su-37 Terminator: "I'll be back"
I love the tomcat its like the F 111
Might as well list my personal favourites as top 3 only lol
#1: F-15 S/MTD - I already love the F15. The F15 is fast, can also dogfight pretty well, and features good weaponry, mainly air to air though. The reason I like the S/MTD more though is because it's basically a super-maneuverable version of the F15, with even better weaponry.
#2 :F-15C - I blame Ace Combat Zero for this one. Aside from that, it's a really fast and pretty maneuverable aircraft, with good weaponry, and just being iconic in general.
#3: Sukhoi 37 - Ace Combat 2's protagonist, Phoenix, has a plane skin in AC7. It's literally the reason it's up here. Now, the Su-37 is mainly an AA dominator, featuring HPAAs, 4AAMS (or XMAAs) and... TLS? Sure, most people like it because of Yellow 13, but I like it because of Phoenix. This aircraft does feature supermaneuverability, so that's also a plus.
Honorable mention: FB-22 Strike Raptor - I like this Dorito Of Death because it's a jack of all trades. Long range missiles, and bombs. It can dogfight, but the regular F22 is better in that aspect, it can be a BVR machine, though not having the best in speed. Last but not least, the reason that overpowers everything I just said...
It looks cool.
The Hellcat and ZERO's guns in Legacy are so fucking overpowered.
One of the more overlooked and forgotten aircraft (which is my main aircraft) is the YF-23 Black Widow. The F-23 was an American made fighter that was being made at the same time the F-22 Raptor was. However ,the YF-23 and the F-22 were tested against each other to see which was over all the best design. As feat would have it the F-22 came out on top ,however the YF-23 was still just as good as the F-22 and had they been smart when making the F-35 Lightning the F-23 could have filled its roll and F-35 could have helped by never becoming a thing.
+The Reaper Of The Sky`s That's pretty interesting! I wonder what would everything would be like if the F-35 never became a thing in the first place...
The Reaper Of The Sky`s Actually the F-23 S first the YF-23 And the F-22 Was the YF-22
The Reaper Of The Sky`s That's pretty skewed and false saying that if the YF-23 went into service, the F-35 would have never been a thing. I'll put through a full reply on my other account; you'll know when you get it.
Alright, as I said before, I'd post a response. I'm using a separate account due to this being my PC account and my initial reply belonging to my account on my mobile device. As promised, here is my full reply to your claim.
The very statement that the F-35 wouldn't exist if the YF-23 had been picked over the F-22 or if it had been put into service alongside the F-22 is a flat out lie. You either don't understand how the selection of aircraft for the USAF works today or you deliberately said what you said knowing its a lie. Either way, its exceptionally skewed. The way that the USAF, and a good amount of the US military in general has done it this way as well, is that they hold contests for contracts. The highest performing aircraft, tank, firearm, etc. with the most reasonable price gets picked. Sometimes you don't have the luxury of a lower costing aircraft, but that's life.
Next, before I get into the meat of USAF aircraft doctrine as it stands now, I feel that I should explain the way of thought that we implement for aircraft. We use what is called the "High-Low Mix." This basically calls for high numbers of lower quality aircraft that can act as multi-role aircraft instead of having to call out the more expensive dedicated aircraft. A great example of this actually is the F-16, F-15, and A-10. The F-16, being the low in the mix, can do everything, but not all that well whereas the F-15 is exceptionally good at air-to-air (and eventually actually took a multi-role stance with the D and E variants, but we'll use the fighter variants for explanation sake) but not too good at air-to-ground, and visa versa with the A-10. One main exception to this is the F-22. It pretty much took the spot for top fighter for the USAF, but given that it was so expensive, only a limited number was built and pretty much acted as a bridge between 4th Gen aircraft (F-16, F-15, A-10, F-18, Sukhois, Migs, etc.) and 5th Gen aircraft, the first of which, for the US at least, is the F-35. Firsts for other counties would be things like the T-50 PAK-FA, J-20, J-31, etc. This brings us to what the F-35 is meant to do: be that low in the mix for 5th Gen aircraft and to do a bit of everything.
With the F-35 coming into active combat roles in smaller numbers around this time, we're going to finally see its combat capabilities, at least against insurgent forces. This opportunity will help to find out if the F-35 can conduct air-to-ground missions and to provide a basis for corrections in that single field. As it stands, there's actually a large amount of the F-35 that we don't know about. Things like the true top speed, full maneuverability capabilities, and so on.
I'll go ahead and make a segment here in the case of any points you bring up which tends to be popular with anti-F-35 people, often not actually knowing the actual details, which can hardly be blamed as, again, not much is still known about it and there is plenty of bullshit floating around that is false conjecture.
1. "The F-35 was beat by an F-16 in a mock dogfight." -If the people who mainly reported on this actually read the entire report instead of cherry picking it, we wouldn't have this twisted tale in the first place. What actually happened is that the F-35 in question was one of the prototypes, designation AF-02, at the time and was testing the restrictiveness of the flight computer designed to help the pilot from pulling dangerous maneuvers that would risk both him/her and the aircraft. The computer was adjusted as per the input and suggestions of the test pilot. They used a F-16 variant as a point of reference for its maneuverability, which yes, it is somewhat likely that the F-16 is more maneuverable than the F-35, but this is hardly a reason to argue against the F-35 as most, if not all air-to-air combat nowadays is BVR (Beyond Visual Range), and trust me when I say this, the F-35 is more than well enough equipped to handle BVR.
2. "The F-35 has already cost $1 Trillion USD." -This is often a miss-read estimate that often gets taken and used as a present statistic. The $1 Trillion USD estimate was supposed to be the ENTIRE cost of the F-35 program in its entirety until 2065. The estimate is actually outdated if I'm not mistaken, but I doubt the F-35 will make it into the mid-to-late 2050s if we keep up aircraft development as we have.
3. "The F-35 has already been denounced by other aircraft designers." -If Pierre Sprey is one of those people, ignore what he says. Completely. He has said in the past multiple times denouncing other aircraft as well for having "this radar junk," has claimed he designed the A-10 (which he didn't, he only helped draw up the requirements for an air-to-ground aircraft that helped birth the competition that lead to the A-10), has gone back and forth on the F-15 multiple times (as in supporting or opposing it), and has even gone so far as to say that we should replace the M1 Abrams series with the old M48s with one of his main points being that the M48 can clear roadside ditches while the M1 can't (this is inherently a flawed point given that US Armored doctrine adheres to mainly supporting infantry, who would be more than capable of clearing roadside ditches) along with other arguments filed with either cherry picking or false points and statistics.
4. "The F-35 per model cost is too high." -I somewhat agree with this point, actually. I do think that the F-35 price for the different variants are a bit too expensive, but they got renegotiated recently to be $100 Million or lower, so there is that along with the fact that the more we make, the cheaper they'll be.
5. "The F-35 has problems with the ejection seat that could kill the pilot." -Problem has already been fixed.
If you have any questions or would like to commence in a full debate, please do let me know, I'd be more than happy to.
If you ever get the time or interest, please do check my response to the original comment. Not wanting to get any over deserving attention, I just believe that what he said was at the very least a highly skewed view regarding the F-35.
12:35 Pretty is an understatement, I think Masterpiece is the best way to describe the Tomcat
13:02 well, I mean there’s also the F-15SMTD, but then again I think i see why it’s not on the list, it’s a concept jet

“Anytime baby!!!”
For ground attack only the A-10 is the best you can get, the aircraft is not meant to combat other aircraft. For missions where you will attack both air and ground targets I prefer the F-35. For air to air combat I use either the SU-57 for the pulse lasers or the F-22 Raptor for the air to air muti lock missiles. Of course I am referring to Ace Combat 7 for the most part. How a aircraft looks is not nearly as important as how well the aircraft performs in its intended roll. Multi Role are meant to attack either air targets or ground targets but isn't as proficient as a dedicated fighter or ground attack aircraft. Air supremacy fighters are best at fighting other aircraft. Bombers like to destroy ground targets while avoiding confrontations with other aircraft. A carrier aircraft often is a multi role aircraft so this means Tomcat, Super Hornet and F-35 to name 3. The Typhoon is also a multi role I believe.
My favorite bomber is TU-160 Blackjack, basically the russian counterpart of U.S B-1 Lancer. Fav Nonfic jet is Su-57
5. F-5E: Best starter craft on 5 and Zero
4. F-35C: It's not chubby, it's cool and whoever says otherwise are just wrong
3. Gripen E: OP budget craft on AC7MP
2. F-14A/F-15C: As a big fan of 5 and Zero I really can't decide either
1. Su-37: OP craft on Zero that lives up to the name

I have too agree with you on this top 10, but my #5 aircraft is the f-117 night hawk
That used to be my favorite when I was a kid! I had a really old toy that resembled one. The coolest architecture out of all planes.
The B-2A Spirit is being replaced by the B-21 Raider which will be a much more improved version of it. Also, you know the B-2 is the #1 expensive aircraft in the U.S

1. Su-30SM, Su-30MKI.
im not russian but im quite sure SU-47's name is kinda pronounced Suhoi SU-47. And F4F tigercat is a ww2 era fighter, not a bomber. it could be used as a fighter-bomber-attacker, its practically multirole. And my favorite aircraft ever is the Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA, just because it has stealth capabilities and it just looks really really REALLY powerful.
Jere Ruotsalainen F4F Wildcat. That in the video is a F6F Hellcat. They were carrier based fighters. Why would you use a Wildcat as a bomber when you have some Dauntlesses on your carrier? Unless you are talking about the F7F Tigercat.
Thanks for showing an Australian F 18;)
10. The F-16C looking like the F-5 is no coincidence since they originate from the exact same Red Bird program. While Blue Bird was for expensive cutting-edge fighter-bombers with radar-guided missiles, long flight range and the like, Red Bird was for a very barebones cheap single role fighter with the bare minimum for avionics and range. However, parts of the Blue Bird requirements spilled onto the F-16, giving it strong radar and great multirole capabilities as well as high tech weaponry and range. PA treats the F-16 a little harsh since that thing will dance around an F-15 with ease if forced into a sustained turn IRL. In fact, you'd have to go to 4.5th gens like the Rafale to challenge the F-16 in that regard since no proper 4th gen can compete with it in sustained turns.
7. There's a couple of good reasons the Su-47 was canned. First was the stress on the airframe itself, which would make annual maintenance costs quite ridiculous. Second is the collapse of the USSR (program started in the 1980s), which means the funding's just gone. Third involves the fact that it and the 1.44 were made to somehow counter the F-22 through mobility and strong radar, but stealth was just way stronger than the Russians thought. Wasn't a total failure though, since the internal bay probably helped make the Su-57's internal bay possible. Hell I think the Su-57 might be taking quite a bit of its tech from the Su-47 in general, hence why they keep the thing around.
5. Hey don't diss the A-10's mobility like that. Its insane yaw means you can make up for the pitch issues that way, plus its slow nature means its turn radius is pretty tight. Even the real thing is surprisingly agile at low speeds to the point of its 4th gen fighter brethren struggling from time to time in a dogfight. Only real problem is its acceleration, which is awful. A shame that AC's mission design doesn't let the A-10 shine like it should due to usually having a mix of air and ground targets, not to mention fighters having decent A2G SPW.
4. $150M a plane or so. Also I don't think there's a single AC game where it's necessarily a bad plane, just where it's a little less good (AC 2 and arguably Air Combat).
1. It looks bulky because the F-14 is huge. The sheer size of that lad is something I think is overlooked, which is a shame since it's also one of the reasons I like it. It can even take a beating since the lifting body design makes it depend less on its wings for flight. A shame it got retired due to its role being obsolete with the lack of strategic bombers to shoot at, meaning that its pretty large maintenance costs are just made more obvious. Nowadays it's all about jacks of all trades, which makes sense. Though I only really miss the late F-14A, F-14B and F-14D. The early version with the TF engines just sucked.
As for a list, it would depend on the game specifically. Still, here's kind of my top 10, excluding AC 6 DLC planes that might as well be fictional due to their absurd stats.
10. YA-10B (AC 5): It's weird that I choose something from AC 5 since I generally prefer planes with more personality being showcased through instability. But the YA-10B is just weird. Somehow it has great pitch (above S-32 tier), while having excellent yaw. On top of that it has FAEBs. It's so weird but I like it.
9. MiG-21-93 (AC X): This is so wrong. Everything about this is wrong. Why does the MiG-21 turn that fast? My mind cannot process this since it even outturns the F-5E by a lot. A 3rd gen interception dorito airframe somehow turns that fast. I am done. I can't process this anymore. Still pretty fun to use regardless due to pure cognitive dissonance.
8. MiG-21bis (AC 7): How many times we gotta teach PA that 3rd gen doritos shouldn't turn that fast, especially not so fast that superplanes cannot keep up? The MGP is just death incarnate for those willing to tune it that far, plus at a low cost you could get this thing in 2k lobbies and make people cry. It can't handle EML at all but what can't EML kill anyway? It stays here as a monument to PA's ridiculous overestimation of the deadly Balalaika.
7. Su-35/F-15S (AC 2): Everything about it is overkill. Too much turn rate. Too much acceleration. Yet I feel great about using it somehow. It's kind of my comfort plane, that I choose just to mess around. The F-15S is around the same so I feel including it in the list again is redundant.
6. Su-37 (AC 4): Kind of a stereotypical choice, but I like that thing despite its stat bars being a lie. It dominates anything in terms of mobility including the X-02, but at the same time it has this instability that I like to see and QAAM boating. Were it not for its lack of multitargets I would put it higher.
5. Mirage 2000 (AC 4): A plane I feel is very severely underestimated. Sure, it looks like your average mid-tier plane, but in that average plane lies the engine of a god. This is the only plane in AC 4 that can outaccelerate an X-02, at least until supersonic speeds. Yet at the same time its UGBS is superior for peppering high value targets than BDSP by far, making it a scary schnellbomber. It helps that I really like the RL plane quite a bit for also being shockingly fast (0.7 power/weight but apparently outaccelerates and outspeeds an F-16 that has over 1 power/weight while rocking those neat MICAs).
4. Tornado F2 (AC 1): It's a strange choice indeed. There's the punchy F-15C, the agile bruiser EF-2000 and the super agile YF-22, yet I choose this brick. This is because this specific plane really shows the AC 1 flight model in its purest form in my eyes, leading to all sorts of shenanigans. The F-15C is still better all around but the Tornado still has my heart.
3. S-32 (AC X): Now this is another plane that one would think is an obvious choice but I choose it for the weirder reasons. Being one of the concepts for the Su-47 it's very agile and even comes with QAAMs for the sweet damage. Yet this is not the main reason I like it a lot. The main reason is the center fire missiles. Unlike most planes whose missiles come from the wings or side bays, the missiles come from the central internal bay in the fuselage. This leads to incredible head-on accuracy while having the QAAMs also center fire. Probably the most accurate missile platform in AC X for that reason, minus the weight you can really feel when turning (tis a big bird after all).
2. A-10A (ACX): A recent plane I've been toying around with that just keeps surprising me. Yes, it's good at A2G, but it's no F-15S/MTD with its FAEBs or something. What really makes me intrigued is its very odd flight characteristics. In AC X it flies like it doesn't want to stay airborne, as turns make it feel like it's dipping into the ground. The yaw is still fantastic as expected, but then you climb and see something really odd. The A-10A suffers a very considerable drop in performance if it's at medium altitude (10k ft is enough), having a stall speed in the 300 mph region and turning insanely badly. Yet at sea level it has a sub-100 mph stall speed and very respectable turn rate. While all AC X planes suffer at altitude, the A-10A makes this so ridiculous that a new style has to be adopted involving GAU-8 head-ons and rudder-assisted turns. In fact it's a style I'd say is a little like the real thing minus the GAU-8 shenanigans(more AIM-9 involved there). It's charming in that way, and charm earns one a spot in the top 10.
1. F-5E (AC X). I consider this to be the AE86 of that game. It's light, it's got ok acceleration and ok turn rate, but also has not much ammo. Due to Stockholm syndrome this plane easily became my favorite RL plane in all of AC. It's just so well-rounded that I can't get mad at it and find it to be a great training tool for other planes. Mastering the F-5 means mastering the game in a sense.
The Viper name is a reference to Battlestar Galactica
The American X-29 was around before the Russian Su-47 Berkut.
In response to your comments on the Sukhoi Su-57, (and yes you said it correctly), you asked, "who would do such a thing", (swept-forward wings)? Well, the United States, for one. Way back in the 1980's, DARPA made the XF-29, a demonstrator aircraft to explore the use of swept-forward wings. They only made two and retired both quite some time ago, as they were not that much of an improvement over normal swept wing aircraft. The Russians wanted to duplicate/improve the design for their own experiments and came up with the Sukhoi Su-57, (originally the Su-47, by the way). It was used as a demonstrator itself and never went into production. I am not sure if they built just the one, or if they made a second one as well. But I do know that they never built in numbers, as they found out that the same answer to the question that the American's did, it wasn't that much of an improvement to warrant the expenses incurred.
1 SU 35

3 Rafale M
4 Gripen E

6 MiG-29A
7 F-2A
8 F-16C
9 SU 37
10 SU 34
My List my opinion tell me what’s your list
Horten HO 229 (Build but never officially flew)
F15 never gets enough love
Agreed :(
I agree with you about the Su-37. Su-57 and Su-37 is tied in the number 1 spot for my favorite aircraft. No need to explain why the Su-37 is my favorite aircraft, just watch the Su-37 part of the video.
As for nonfiction aircraft, here's my top 10, first half bombers and ground attack craft, and second half multirole fighters.
10. B-1 Lancer Bomber
9. F-117 Nighthawk
8. Tornado GR series attackers
7. A-10 Warthog
6. B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
5. F-15E Strike Eagle
4. F-16 Fighting Falcon
3. F/A-18E Super Hornet
2. F-14A Tomcat
1. F-22 Raptor
I love the Tomcat just as much as you do, but as for mission survivability and performance in the field, the Raptor is the best choice. Also it's easy to fly and its weapons can be concealed internally without the risk of detection from enemy radar.
one cool plane is the A6 Intruder.
F35, F22, F14 all day
I actually have always been a sucker for the Rafale, the rest of your list is also rather spot on with my favorite.
But, we don't play Ace Combat just for the real life planes alone.
+Ian Khoo Great minds think alike ;) And oh, you're definitely right.
you actually pronounced sukhoi pretty well but just to give you a good understanding of pronouncing it its like sue then koi like a fish
this. video deserves a remake.
You forgot to mention the BRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT of the A-10
You pronoynced...prometheus...protools....
..FUUUUUCK AAAAAA You pronounced it just right. Sooo-khoy Ess Yoo 47.
Badass jet.
Ahhh I see, you're a man of culture as well!
I think there is a something ironic, that I, as russian, love US aircrafts as f. Especially F-15, and honestly, I don't know why. Maybe it's because its design is something like perfect combination of brutality and elegance. Like 1911, undead classic.
If I need to choose one from WW2, it will be F4U aka Corsair, because it's wings cool AF.
Oh, I forgot about F-2. I love it because of two reasons, first it's F-16 (How can you not love f-16), and the second, it's japanese F-16 which gives him +100 to ... I don't f know to what, but it's definitely makes him cooler. Especially with his beautiful blue camo with red national markings on wings, I love it.
Damn I the F-15S MTD AKA the F-15 Active would of been one of your top favorite, the US did build them but only a couple.
Really? I actually had no idea they did so...that would've made my dreams come true!

Ace combat zero is my favorite that's when I opened up to alot more aircraft. Top 3
3-f15c
2-f22
1-su37
F14D is more expensive to buy new when it was in service than a new f35
Cool planes
Ah yes, the folding wings of the Tomcat, just like one of my all time favourite aircraft, the Tornado........which isn't in 7
Thanks, Namco.
Tornado best attacker
"Typhoon is multirole."
*_TRIGGERED_*
In fact the Eurofighter Typhoon is indeed multirole (irl)
Artjom PR66 *_MORE TRIGGERED_*
+TGT Terrorizor340 YIKES, that flew right over my head
Ace combat series dont have Sukhoi Su-24?
the a-10thunderbolt was never designed as an air to air combat plane / my top ten planes are f/a22 raptor f14 tomcat f15c eagle f4 phantom su37 su 47 mig31 f20 tigershark a6 intruder gr tornado f3
I have to go for the F-22
Great choice
@@activace I love the su-47 :/ aswell the wings make it so just.. perfect looking and the whole fuselage design on it
Bro i also love the f16
The F-16 is so slick man, one of my favorite little planes! :]
YF-23 is the best looking aircraft ever flown in this planet.
hellcat: "I AM MULTIROLE"
The dodge viper is a F-16 car 😱😱
I prefer the Rafale M 😍 so beautyfull!
