I figured we could just make another thread to go into more detail about our favorite aircraft, and why its our favorite.
My favorite is the A-10 Thunderbolt 2. It is my favorite because, it is a sub-sonic plane, which makes it different, as well as it's 30 millimeter machine gun on the nose. Chews up every thing, and it's carrying capacity is quite large.
In real life, if you ever had an A-10 fly over your head, you'll never forget it. You can barley hear it until it's right on top of you, and suddenly, you're death.

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

Mine is the SU37, for its maneuverability, thrust vectoring, and that great design that gives it the appearance of a fighter. Compare it to the F22.

The spooky used to just have the howitzer sticking out the cargo door when they used it, now it has it's own pod on the side.
I don't remeber where I read this but, I remember reading that in a wargame, with I think 5, F-16's against 1 spooky.
The Spooky was the target and the 16"s were supposed to shoot it down. (virtually of course) As soon as the game began, all the 16's recieved a message, 1 after another, that they had been shot down, because the spooky had a lock with it's cannons and would have shot them down, and the AC-130 wasn't even in the 16's sight.

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

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

I don't think it was "out of sight" per-say, but really far away.
sorry for not being clearer
anyway we got to get back on topic, wich would be easier with more participants.

For some reason I just became unsure of the plane's name. I think it's called SU47 or 42. I like it because of it's wings.
I also like the F-22.
