SIMULATION TACTICS FA 101
Image

QUESTION :
What is the best Plane for *guns only online Dogfights in FA?

DISCUSSION SENERIO :
For this discussion the typical *guns only, no vector, no A-10
agreed upon rules normaly used at say the HL would make a good bench mark.


My answer .....
I guess I'd have to go with the EF2000,
because of the turning circle and speed.
Knowing that in general terms each Plane in FA has another that can
exploit a weakness in that Plane Flight Model and be a match for it,
which one matches up with that one?
And which is your favorite, and why?

Considering I am "apparently" top 5? 10? at most top 15? of all time at this I'd say MiG-29 Fulcrum-C. It will tear the agile Eurofighter to pieces head-on despite how hard you bounce around the skies. However in 1v1 passes (different then ur original situation) the Eurofighter can be more deadly, RedBaron was a prime example when he was last around... however with stall flips its easy to destroy a less experienced pilot, either way it all comes down to the pilot's skill. If you want to be one of the best you can't just take a big gun and start straffin clouds and you can't take a bird that only has an advantage in a turn fight. There's def. a few others unmentioned to choose from (Su-27 or even a FSX for Aggressor lol) but I'm sticking with the Fulcrum as non-vec as it would be my first choice at the moment.

The X-29... it's got a lot of ammo and an impossibly small turn radius, though it's got no armor...

If you are talking in default FA, then NONE since it just an arcade game of unrealeastic performances.

If you are talking FA Futures, then the MiG-29S Fulcrum C with its superior low speed turns and heavy hittin cannons...
