Originally posted by LastgenAMC Trying to find the fastest A2A combat fighter is kind of irrelevant, anyway. When actually engaged, it's typical to slow to near stalling speeds for better manuverability. Most of the newer jets are multi-role, however. The higher speeds are mostly for deployment, the attacks carried out are still at sub sonic speeds.As for the best jet fighter... IMO it's a toss-up.. Though the F16 is my favorite, the F22, and SU37 are the best thus far. The F22 has near-stealth capability, an advanced thrust vectoring system for high manuverability (around 6gs), and a top speed of Mach 2.2. Also has better long and short range targeting systems than the SU37.The SU37 is more manuverable, but a little slower. It can turn hard enough to pull of more than 8gs. Top speed Mach 1.2.BTW.. I have a video of an SU37 screwing up and crashing at an airshow in the Ukrane if anyone wants to see it.
