First off, I'll state that I am overall pleased with the new maps (32 player size? These maps really need 50+ people to get a good battle going - I just want the 300 ticket count), weapons, and vehicles.
When I joined the server I played them in this order: Taraba, Great Wall, then Smoke Screen.
Didn't try to camp the airfield and whore a jet the first round, so I didn't experience this crap piece of European engineering until Smoke Screen came around.
The Euro"fighter" - Armed like a fighter, but flies worse than a bomber.
Max Speed = ~1000 kph
Speed without afterburner = ~770 kph
Ability to hold turn with MiG-29 = laughable
Planes desire to return to its natural state (pile of scrap on the ground) = Let's just say it is very determined to bottom out
I wasn't a fan of the "real" helo feel they tried with the Hind for SF, and even less of a fan of their new plane. It is slower than the bombers, armed less heavily, banks poorly, and doesn't pull up from dive bombing well. And worst of all is the constant fall that occurs if you are doing anything but flying level. Why should a jet lose lots of altitude making a turn?
Anyways, I just wanted to open up a place for all of the pilots out there to bitch about this junk vehicle that Dice put out there which ruins air balance (I shredded the Eurofighter once I got up in the air with a MiG when the teams were swapped).
Edit (Addendum): Thank God that this jet doesn't get a chance to go up against the J-10.
