Mine would be Su-35 "Super Flanker"
quick,agile and able to perform any combat Mission from Interception till Bombing...and capable of carrying almost any air-to air and air to ground weapon currently fielded by Russian Air force..from Vympel R-74 Dogfight Missile till X-31 /KH-31 Anti Radiation Missile

I also like the C-130 specter, or spooky. which is flying artillery. A hurcules with a, I believe, a 8Omm cannon and like 4, 30mm machine guns. (I'm not sure if thats right, Xeno probliy knows)

If you are not sure what it is, in the transformers movie, it's the plane that ripped apart scorpinoc in the dessert

AC-130 Spectre/Spooky Gunship

It's armed with one 105mm Howitzers and 1 25mm Gatling Gun and also a 40mm Cannon

and about the Decepticon scorponoc well i haven't watched the movie yet..but he's the mechanical Scorpion right ?

He..He I love Su-37 too ,however too bad Russian Airforce abandoned it...from 2 prototypes..one crashed and another one converted to Su-35

Huh..Spooky can do BVR(Beyond Visual Range) engagement accurately with lock on from its 105mm Howitzer... the Game creator must have exaggerated its capability

quote P P H JayBo 13

not game, real life, like I said, I don't remember where, it was some airplane magazine. (not like fat guy at home made it up)

Huh..are you sure..?
105mm howitzer may only make it for 11Km while F16's sidewinder Missile is capable of reaching 30km target

even if the 105mm Howitzer equipped with Kinetic Energy Penetrator won't make "Beyond Visual Range" engagement

show me the Mags pweeese

Su-47 "Berkut"....with Forward Swept wings..

The belkan one ?..anyway The prototype thing is Su-47 ,S-32 is Improved Su-37 ,unfortunately that aircraft remains in concept..Russian now working on PAK FA

ooops i mistyped..S-32 is Improved Su-47 sorry Sum_dude..and have a nice trip

Hands down, no BS the SU-47 Berkut. It has got to be one of the sexiest birds in the sky. I have a few lovely backgrounds of this plane. But, unfortunately it will likely not lead to a production aircraft in the same design. But technology from the SU-47 will be built into the PAK FA. Most likely aero-elastic tailoring experience gained from the wing. Sukhoi was denied the funding to build a second prototype. My guess for denied funds was it was better to upgrade the current Flanker fleet and producing the SU-34 Fighter-bomber. But, the Berkut has lasted longer in the testing phase than the SU-37 and MIG 1.44, both of which have been canceled.

Hmm does make sense..however a prototype of MIG-1.44 did exist..that cutie is probably used as a testbed for Russian Plasma Stealth technology
Su-37's fate well i don't know whether any of them remains
..well probably they've been converted into Su-35
and Sukhoi also produce new Sukhoi aircraft Called Su-35BM an improved Su-35

Russian Flanker. I also hold the dogfighter in much higher esteem than the guy who is launching missiles from 50-60 miles away. All he has to do is just lock-launch, realign, lock-launch visa-versa. Not much skill required if you ask me.

i'm on you with that..unfortunately nowadays engagement will likely based on Beyond Visual Range, USA with AIM-120D while Russia with RVV-AE-PD or R-77M1 and K-100 Missiles that capable to strike enemy from 400km away
and Europeans with MBDA meteor

However if the guy who like using Missiles from about 60-70Nm faced Su-35BM his Missiles would probably being evaded or even engaged by Su-35's RVV-AE Missile that capable of destroy AMRAAM and even precision guided munitions like JDAM or Paveways

Su-35BM's irbis N035 Radar or Irbis-E may detect 3 square meter RCS around 200Km..however for target like F-22 it would drop to somewhere along 90Km or less
depend on the Stealth's position

and here's EADS view about Stealth


stealth won't work against advanced Electro Optical censor....like the one fielded in Su-35BM,MIG-35 and EF-2000

oh that maneuvers called "frolov Chakra"
click the below my Banner and watch some..performed by Su-30

he..he Raptor may do Cobra thanks to its Thrust vectoring Nozzles
superhornet may do that too but with air intakes optimized

quote P P H JayBo 13

what? no funny comment about my psp? you dissapoint me.

hopefully such manuvers would be useable in gamd

I wonder if J-star would be useable in AC6, just imagine, the other guy would always have a radar lock warning.

i can't comment anything about your PSP since "i don't have one"

and talking about j-stars..well i wish the Electro optical system like the one onboard MIg-35 will also usable in AC

with that you can spot a Tank 50Km's away and stealth wouldn't be a matter anymore

Hmm yeah...

quote mehrunes dagon

the A-10 has a depleted uranium 35 mm cannon in the nose, not a 30mm machine gun

as far as i know A-10 Warthog uses GAU-8 avenger which is 30mm Heavy Machinegun or autocannon

hmm 2018, I'm wondering what will be her successor

He..he I Mod my Fave Plane Su-35 Superflanker Turning it to Su-35 Superflanker EVA

quote P P H JayBo 13

and I supose that giant box on its back somehow doesn't ruin airflow, or decrease speed or manuverbility?

He..he ever heard about EHD coupling or Electrohydrodynamic coupling or Plasma stealth ? ,using Plasma as "control surface" and as a means of stealth without changing the plane's geometry profile ,my Superflanker_EVA make use of it ,to modify airflow that passes through her Plasma Weapon (thing you se on her back) which reducing drag and provide extra Thrust

quote P P H JayBo 13

Ive heard a little about plasma stealth.

how exactly does it work?
how is it attached to the craft?

It's work by covering an aircraft with cloud of plasma or "coat it" with plasma ,which will absorb enemy radar Wave ,Russian have developed small sized Plasmatron for this purpose, the generator's only weighs around 100Kg or 200 Pounds, and Small enough to fit in Tactical aircraft

quote P P H JayBo 13

is it plasma as in the 4th element plasma?

does it conciel its signature better than that of geometric stealth?

Hmm probably yes

and Russian Institue who built it claims reduction of Radar signature of aircraft who use it, in a factor of 100

quote P P H JayBo 13

so 100% then?

Not sure about it yet, maybe by using that device we can get our aircraft's RCS reduced by 100 times

EXAMPLE :MiG-21's RCS is around 3 square meters, if the Plasma stealth device used that 3m will be reduced by 100 times, so it would be 0,03 square meters

quote P P H JayBo 13

thats pretty nice, but how much does it cost per unit and instalation?

I'm not sure about this one either, however it surely would be expensive
