Just unlocked the F-80A and Attacker within like 12 hours of each other and then won a boatload of lions and bought both of them. Any suggestions for which is the better jet to getting spaded? Leaning towards the attacker at the moment but spading at high level is such a grind that any info would definitely be appreciated.
Stoked to see you all (and probably get shot down by you all) in tier V games finally!!!
Following on from the Sea Fury in the Fleet Air Arm branch is the first operational carrier based jet within the Royal Navy’s arsenal, the Supermarine Attacker. The Attacker is Britain's first Naval jet and offers good all round performance for a first generation jet design as well as ground attack and fighter bomber payload capabilities for a variety of situations. Available to research after the Sea Fury, the Attacker is a different approach to jet fighter aircraft by comparison to the Meteors, Vampire or Venom.
Here is the list of previous discussions.
Before we start!

Please use the applicable [Arcade], [RB], and [SB] tags to preface your opinions on a certain gameplay element! Aircraft and ground vehicle performance differs greatly across the three modes, so an opinion for one mode may be completely invalid for another!
-
Do not downvote based on disagreement! Downvotes are reserved for comments you'd rather not see at all because they have no place here.
-
Feel free to speak your mind! Call it a hunk of junk, an OP 'noobtube', whatever! Just make sure you back up your opinion with reasoning.
-
Make sure you differentiate between styles of play. A plane may be crap for turnfights, and excellent for boom-n-zoom, so no need to call something entirely shitty if it's just not your style. Same goes for tanks, some are better at holding, some better rushers, etc.
-
Note, when people say 'FM' and 'DM', they are referring to the Flight Model (how a plane flies and reacts to controls) and Damage Model (how well a vehicle absorbs damage and how prone it is to taking damage in certain ways).

If you would like to request a vehicle for next week's discussion please do so by leaving a comment.
Having said all that, go ahead!

Gee the attacker is lighter and has the same engine and a practically identical armament, so that begs the question... WHY THE FUCK IS THE BAROURAGAN 8.0 GAJIBOOB?!?

Chapter 26
Char ran through the simulated battlefield with impunity. It didn’t matter what forces she loaded up, none of them could stand up to the Mark 7x. The suit combined with her optical processors allowed her to react faster than even a Spartan in Mark VI could handle. It had twin railguns embedded in each arm along with a shield gauntlet and a plasma sword, though shaped like a traditional human sword rather than an elite’s tuning fork. Twin back mounted spartan lasers fed from the suit’s reactor providing a heavy weapon that would never run out of ammunition and the onboard antigravity unit allowed for feats of agility that were physically impossible for older suits to match.
‘And this isn’t even everything mom left us with.’ Char thought, smiling under her helmet as the simulation came to an end and her vision returned to her room. ‘I’m glad Mom and sis finally get along, kind of annoyed mom took her for so long though.’ Charlotte hummed happily glancing at the time and realizing she still had a few minutes before the rest of the crew woke up.
Moving towards the door, Char froze as she felt a wave of hatred similar to Mendicant Bias but lacking the grandeur and force of the ancient AI. It was like thousands, millions of weaker, hateful beings joining together in zealous fervor rather than one over powering entity. Char felt her heartbeat pick up and began to jog towa
... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Just some examples I came up off the top of my head and some quick research lol, so don't expect the answers to really make sense, but I'd love to try anyway since the idea of WW2-ish Ace Combat has always been appealing to me.
- Phoenix : Lockheed P-38 Lightning. This is pretty random, admittedly, though I think it would probably fit Phoenix's personality. The Lightning is famous for its distinctive "twin-booms" shape, and Phoenix is famous for flying the equally unique-looking XFA-27 during the Usean coup d'etat. The Lightning is an all-around great multirole plane that perform various aerial combat roles, something that I believe would serve Pheonix greatly throughout his sorties.
- Mobius 1 : Supermarine Spitfire. Now I know that's a British plane and Mobius 1 is famous for flying the American F-22, but IMO I always saw ISAF as something of a European coalition nation, and North Point as a UK contemporary in Strangereal, and the first Intercontinental War has shades of WW2 through what we've shown in the side story - so I figured a Spitfire would make sense for Mobius 1. It was one of the most iconic planes of WW2 as well, after all.
- Yellow Squadron : Messerschmitt Bf 109. No contest here. Just compare the Yellow Squadron paintscheme with this. Besides, Erich Hartmann - the top ace pilot of all time - and Hans-Joachim Marseille, two of the real life ace inspirations for Yellow 13, were famous for flying the Bf 109s.
- Razgriz Squadron : Grumman F6F Hellcat. It was among the most famous carrier-based fighters of WW2 and achieved fame among pilots similar to the F-14 Tomcat, so I figured it would suit fine for the Wardog/Razgriz pilots due to them operating from the aircraft carrier Kestrel in the later stage of the Circum-Pacific War.
- Cipher : Hawker Hurricane. Considering his mercenary background, I figured Cipher would prefer planes that are easy for maintenance yet is still capable of perfoming any task required of it, something that the Hurricane is known for (it's why some pilots prefer it over the more famous Spitfire because it takes more time to rearm, refuel, and repair). Plus, I was inspired by the story of Eagle Squadrons, volunteer pilots from the US who fly for the RAF in the early days of WW2, which is
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Gender is fluid.
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
But let me give it a shot.
And now I’m cannelloni

And boy are my arms legs.
I am close to getting the attacker and it will be my first jet. Any tips?
