It didin't go to mass production because the germans lost the war, not because the plane wasn't good.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

First jet plane that actually worked as a fighter / attacker instead of being a buggy piece of junk.
Hitler wanted the plane to be perfect and thus delayed it's production for a few years. If they would have started mass producing it earlier, the air superiority might have made the war last a lot longer or even lead to the victory of germany. They we're already working on jet powered bombers that could reach USA.
I will vote for 262 too. It's one of the best looking planes ever made and at the time it was used it could out run any other plane easily. It also had 4 or 6 20mm cannons on the nose
i'm gonna have to say the Tornado GR4
OK COME ON PEOPLE!!!
f-15 BEST FIGHTER JET EVER. f-15 is only use a a boomer if they need it there fast seeing as its faster that most bomers (tops speed is subsonice (less that 700 MPH)IT realy has a top speed of 1,800 not 1200 like the game has it. but then agian u are low land flyng.
I think that there should be more jets like a a-10 becuze this is made fr air for ground and low land flyig not like a f15 is made for.
F-35 IS THE CRAPYS JET EVER MAID. THE US GOVERMENT HAS ORDEDERD A TOTAL OF 12 in 8 YEARS!!!!!. THEY HAVE ORDERD MORE F-18 or 15 that that in one year. They dont even have any f-35 in service yet and wont for severa years.
Now the Chinese jet i dont know 2much about . but im perity sure amarican jets are better.
I know for a fact migs arnt anywere as good as any of the amarican jets.
If your goind 2 fight atleast have your facts strait.

Well actually Hitler didn't even want the plane, he wanted more V2's and saw the plane as a waste of time, Georing disobeyed him anyway and had 250 made before Hitler found out and stopped it.Gawwad wrote:

f18
I remember that show. It's called Red October or something, I think. The U.S. sends over some new F-18 pilots to practice against the Luftwaffe in MiG-29's, but the Germans aren't allowed to use the MiG to it's full potential, since they're training new guys.Stingray24 wrote:

Berster7:
I believe the Mig-29 is a tougher plane than the F-15 in that it requires less maintenance. Watched a show on the History or Military channel awhile back about the Mig-29. Better technology? I doubt it. Doesn't the German Air Force fly Mig-29? US flies against them to get practice and the Germans are pretty good.
The MiG-29B-12 has my vote, even though they were delivered this year.

F117A has been shot down before i think 2-3 times the B-2 however has never been shot down thats the airplane to go for if you want stealth.Poseidon wrote:

All window seats turned 90 degrees so they're facing outwards, all the windows removed and replaced with Vulcan Gatling Guns, and the rest of the aisle/middle seats taken out to fit in a few old fashioned Spanish cannons.
F117 has been shot down only once. It was because the guy turned off his stealth systems and got shot down by a lucky rocket. B2's are expensive as fuck imo. Not worth the money... but you must have it for long range bombingMogura wrote:

B52 Stratofortress and B-1B Lancer, are much less expensive and they have the job done.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

for 1 , B2 Spirit, you can buy around 10 B-1B Lancer or 15 B52 Stratofortress.
dude thats enough to rip the world apart :p
The Harrier for me.
It truly is a devastating machine.
it is difficult to master, but when used correctly, it is the most innovative and useful jet.

to me too, they look cool, but im not sure, i mean usa have the best airforce.... if they were better than f18 and other, there be a long time that usa would replace all the f18 with vertical take off / landing system.Jestar12345 wrote:
