who would win?
« on: November 07, 2010, 04:31:05 PM »
went to an airshow in Jacksonville, Florida a couple weeks ago and was wondering....

in a no-holds-bar dogfight, with pilots of equal skill, who would win, the F/A-18 or the Su-27?

honest, un-biased answers please.

My squadmate knows not what he says................

The F18 has been the cornerstone of US Navy aviation for 2 decades for a reason!   :salute

i agree because i heard somewhere that Russian aircraft are still assembled using rivets, therefore making it unsuitable for extreme ACM's

In a straight gun to gun dogfight?

Su27 without a doubt.

Hrm...

Seems that the Su-27's air to air is quite a longer range.

Su-27
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
