F4S ... 6x Aim-7F, good radar, ability to carry napalm, destroy bases, good speed, expert, ace crew, good maneuverability, good cannon and lots of ammo. To top it all off, good BR where you don't have to worry about full up tier compared to other aircraft.... Unless of course you want to use the aircraft for grinding in ARB. For me, a clear choice.

F-20 Tigershark if you want a plane for GRB, not just ARB, it has Mavarick missiles which are usable in GBR.

SU-33 Good plane for ARB, but unfortunately thanks to BR 13.0 very dependent on matchmaking where matchmaking will decide your good and bad games.

F-117, I see no reason to use this plane. Not usable for ARB, nor GRB, very low efficiency RP, SL, Score due to very small armament.

The F-5C was a good plane until the nerf in the BR shift up came. Currently at 10.7 you will most of the time be at 11.0-11.3 where you will encounter much better planes with better armament, especially radar missiles, or a large number of IR missiles, while you can only carry two premiere IR missiles. The biggest advantage of this plane is dog fight battles, which, however, at these BRs where there are radar missiles of the 7E DF type, etc. will not help you much against an averagely experienced enemy.

If you're looking to drop that kind of money, just pre-order the F-18 for the next update. The primary concern to keep in mind is it will be uptiered into Fox 3 brackets as well as the F-20, while the F-4S will only run into AIM-54s on occasion.

Squadron Vehicles are not worth outright purchasing as they do not have Premium bonuses.

I can agree with your post, but please don't say the gunpod on the F-4S is good, just don't...
It's big, it has so much drag cutting the plane performance and the cannon is anything but good.

Yes, you're right. :) It creates a lot of resistance and generally worsens the aircraft's characteristics, but its cadence quite successfully guarantees that if you aim correctly, the speed of the projectiles and their density will almost always hit the target, unlike other machine guns that have a lower cadence.
