F-5C, it can carry flares and guns at the same time, making it better than the SPS-K and T-2. Av-8 has both flares and missiles, but is an absolute boat to fly and can't do anything in a dogfight.

F-5C is your best bet, the playstyle carries over from early jets aswell.

Between F5-C and AV-8A. I defo pick F5-C because of speed, and higher % of SL and RP.

I would advise against T2 Early as it does not have flares at all. Its really hard to use it against the uptier jets with better missiles.

(I am not sure about Mig 21 Spsk but I believe it would be slightly better than T-2)

Also the last two jets will be removed after 10th May.

there is a reason for it being called "F5-Cancer".

if you US Air player
both (F-5C & AV-8A) was same good choice
but i pick AV-8A

why? Why not get 9G's 2x on 9.7 + many flares
dont buy MiG-21 SPK & T-2 early

MiG-21SPSK just PFM
it suck
i know it could carry 2x R60 or R-13M (Soviet aim-9J)

T-2
on his Br you dont get countermeassure stuff

AV-8 if you are new to top tier jet. Now... if you are truly new, I wouldn't even want you in the matchmaking to ruin my teams to begin with but, at least the AV-8 gets good missiles. Despite what other people say, the AV-8 once you fooled an idiot into actually dogfighting you, you can use the thrust vectoring (you can change the thrust vectoring at any speed) to ~50-45%. This will make you turn inside any plane at this BR turn circle (yes keep making them turn). Doing this however, is the last resort, because any slow jet is a dead one in air rb.

If you are not new to high/top tier, just get the F-5C. It's just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ plane at this point. If you fly correctly, even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 10.7 will have a hard time dealing with you. And if you are feeling tired, you can turn off brain and bomb bases... although, again, I wouldn't want you in my MM.
