I have been flying the F/A 18 since inception. I still have not mastered everything in it. I would say I am a jack of all trades but master of none in it. I love flying on and off the carrier, but it has so many weapons and systems to know how to fire them it's not for the faint of heart. Also, the Air-to-Air radar is a beast to learn. I still have trouble with it. The Apache however - although I can't say i have mastered it, I have only had it since inception and I feel like i know it like the back of my hand, much simpler to learn weapons systems but not fly. I only play SP but i do know how to do the CPG as well, but don't use it. I say get the Apache and then branch out to other aircraft.
