I’m growing bored of Air RB, and I need something to cure it. As such, I ask YOU to choose the method of fixing this seemingly eternal pain. Choose wisely.
POLL WILL BE CLOSED AUTOMATICALLY AT DISPLAYED TIME!
How this is going to work: I will free ace (by RP, not GE) the crew on the aircraft chosen by the poll. I will ONLY play the chosen aircraft until it is aced, no breaks whatsoever to fly anything different. This will be done in AIR RB. I cannot bomb bases or shoot any AI targets to speed up grinding. This will be only air to air combat. I will do my best to avoid using RP boosters too.
I had some Discord users pick a few flareless jets at various BRs for the poll. Some interesting licms to say the least. I’ll post when i’ve spaded it, and possibly some random progress updates on how far I’ve made it toward ace crew. Of course i will also show when I’ve completely finished.
Choose up to two options you most want to see me ace.
Which aircraft should i ace? format: Aircraft / its BR
F-84F (no airspawn) / 8.3
F-104G (CN) / 10.7
HF-24 / 9.0
Hunter F.6 (UK) / 9.7
F-4C / 10.0
F3H-2 / 9.0
La-15 / 8.0
Su-17M2 / 10.0

I look forward to your selections, this could go very well or very bad… Some may see this as a chance to punish me, and others may wish to free me from such pain, pick your side.
In the case of a tie I’ll either do both, flip a coin, or make a second poll.
I suggest a kinda fun challenge: I’ve yet to play the Su-17 at 10.0 myself, but perhaps it’s viable. I’d suggest bringing rockets to work around the lack of flares, but other than that I’ve heard the FM is decent enough with wing sweep control. Lemme know how it goes cuz I might try it out too lmao
F-104J is notably better than the 104G from what I’ve seen; it actually gets MORE 9Ps and is at a lower BR at the cost of marginally less engine power. ROCAF 104G is just godawful in every way.
This is not the case, the F-104G is very much playable, while the F-10J is practically unusable against certain aircraft. It’s a free kill due to its lack of flares, and there’s plenty of enemies that can easily intercept you and slot in behind you for a free kill. The F-104G, while having less missiles, has CMs which makes it soooo much better. The F-104J is a pain train, try it yourself if you don’t believe me. The F-104G which I played recently in the German tree was quite good and fun I’ll admit, but I feel like it should be 10.7 going the F-4F is at the same BR. Only thing worse as I’ve just learned from General Lee is that the Taiwanese F-104G at 10.7 without CMs… brutal…
