2 seater planes, waste of man-power, fighter bomber and fighter together, fighter-bomber is screwed since the fighter jet goes twice faster than A-10 and Su-25..
To be honest, scout helis are OP now, you can easily gun down people from half map range on that cliff map as defenders and it takes two hits (about a sec of continous burst) to kill someone.
Also currently in jets im playing with air radar+ extinguisher since its really easy to avoid missiles, and if I do get hit, theres the extinguisher which will also protect from from surprise buttsecks from enemy pilots.
For those guys sticking with flares, if you get hit by a missile and your plane is disabled, just land the thing and repair it, its pretty easy to do, If I managed landed on the kharg island in middle of a battle and managed to get out of it
im pretty sure landing on clear land won't be a problem for any of you. MFW enemy pilots are so easy to down that I attack them with rocket pods
