It's a lot of fun to fly with the VTOL, but I cant give it a recommendation in its current state. It can be hard to figure out whats user error, a bug, or not implemented yet. The mirage is a lot of fun and has some air to ground capabilities but is mostly air to air. If you want air to ground the A-10C is the gold standard. It can be intimidating to learn but doing the training missions will get you close enough and finding a squadron to fly with online thats willing to help you learn will get you the rest of the way. Viggen is also a lot of fun for strike missions but its a get in and get out plane, not for loitering over the target plinking tanks.
