If you dont want the helicopters, then I would go for the Harrier. I have all the maps but I only use the Caucasus and Nevada map. I only play SP and make my missions myself. I have all the modules include the helicopters , but I almost only use the Harrier, F18 and the M2000c. Because the F18 does not support "game mode", then I dont use the helicopters because I find them too hard to use in sim mode. The F18 is my favorite airplane nr. 1 right now.
