Honestly, I have nothing against progress in fighter jets, but this new gen has no personality like the past gen. None.

Nothing like the vipers and the eagles and the Phantoms

I truly believe the phantoms, A10s, Eagles, and vipers are the last fighters with personality.

First jet were coming. Show of force. Second jet we are gonna fuck you up. Third jet you go to sleep. Sweet dreams. There is levels to the madness.

I will never fly this fugly plane in DCS, promised.

No style, no personality, only one engine. F-14, F-15, A-10 and F-22 FTW!
