That's a shame... for you.

Not much point hanging out round these parts for you then I guess. See you around, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Well he's correct in that they are both interceptors.  Should have stayed that way.

You sir are playing with fire. This could get heated very quickly.

I don't see why a whole thread had to be created for it; Opinions like this could easily go into one of the more populated threads... And get lost in there too.

Actually I'd say a thread for it is a good way to keep it out of those other threads where people are trying to learn about STR and other dynamic properties without opinions being thrown in.

We have the announcement thread for everything miscellaneous though. It'll be filled up with other random what not anyways, may as well add this into it as well. Now it would definitely be annoying if they went into one of the topics that are asking about information, as you mentioned, but still a bit weird to create a new thread just to say you don't like the aircraft. Now if it was another thread regarding why the E is inferior compared to X variant, that'd be quite a bit more reasonable.

Very low troll effort. I give it a 3.5/10.

It was an Eagle driver who said during his presentation on YouTube that it wasn't a question of if a single seat was better, it was if a single seat could be good enough.

It was understood that a second set of eyes with whom the pilot works well is way better than just 1 person.

With such an overly simplistic statement, it’s impossible to know where to begin. 🧐

One could argue that there are no longer a need for single seat fighters as engagements would typically happen BVR and having a WSO and Pilot make the platform able to engage multiple targets more easily. As we advance further, there will be zero seats.

If you are lining up a gun solution there comes a point where you have to give your target 100% of your focus. I've been practing the F-5 vs 2 MiG-21 Ace level opponents lately and I kept losing because I was taking bad missile shots and then trying to line up gun kills and the 2nd MiG would bag me every time. So I stopped taking bad missile shots. 😉

Yeah, I wish Jester was smarter about that bit. "He's on your 12, shoot him!" - while I'm working my way up to the bandit to do exactly that. Quit staring ahead and watch my six instead, you might be of some use then.

Indeed, I'd love a "tally/no joy" switch for Jester, preferably a button, not a menu option (you don't have time to fiddle with that in most scenarios when you'd need that one). Short press would toggle between tracking the closest bandit and mostly calling out airspeed and tracking any bandit in the rear hemisphere. It could perhaps also be used to toggle a "merge transition mode" when in BVR, where the RIO calls out the target's position in order for pilot to get tally in a banzai flow.

I guess he didn't like Topgun. 🤣

If this is the thread for what we don't like... while we're at it... I don't like mushrooms. They are fungus... not real food and a waste of resources. 😉

How dare you. Please sit down and wait while I write a 40,000 word essay on why this is a reflection on your general body odor and character.
