The original eurofighter /j

Whilst i appreciate your efforts - you might take a look at wt player demographics, releases in the last 3-5 years and the current state of aerial warfare in wt.

It boils down that aviation enthusiasts are in the absolute minority and aircraft are reduced either to a pure grinding tool or to be used in Ground battles.

Anything lower than 4th gen fighters is usually a dead end - the only exceptions are premium aircraft which manage to become FOTM planes due to gaijin’s BR setting policy (=too low BRs) and/or to marketing reasons (= some TT aircraft for “problematic” nations); that’s why some aircraft in the BR range ~ 10.0 perform exceptionally well - despite they were not competitive vs contemporary aircraft.

In any case: One of my all time favorites (aesthetics AND technical innovations):

The A-5:
