Your preferred Jet in 0.7 - Discussion of handling and performance ONLY - Page 4

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)

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

andretmzt · 02-13-2008, 12:43 PM

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

Viper5 · 02-13-2008, 12:43 PM

F16. Floats like a butterfly stings like a bee.

Closely followed by the A10, MIG and EF
