Actually. I’d argue the FA2 is the best at the moment because its the only one with EEGS 😜
The other harriers, lightning, javelin, hunter, etc are all a pain
Can someone please explain to me why people hate the BK27? I love it. Fast firerate, easy to aim, good damage output, high penetration for ground targets and it has a cool name
I chose the NR30 (It’s atrociously bad) but after that I’d go for the ADEN/DEFAs because they’re difficult to aim for me personally (the reason I hate the NR30)

My bad. I thought it was a variant of Gsh-23.
I typed it on a mobile device. [Minigun] fits small screens better than [Rotary Cannon] and [Rot. Can] is confusing. Everyone knows what a minigun is, even if it may only relate to the specific 7.62 M134 irl
I don’t mind the NR 30 to be honest, the only issue is that the planes that use it often have very little ammo. The BK27 is hated probably due to its lack of ammo and pretty bad damage output. The ballistics are very nice tho
They also tend to be bricks I suppose, except the MiG-19 but I do horribly in that due to the NR30s I just can’t aim them.
I personally love the damage, maybe it’s because I use stealth belts? I’m not sure, but I’ve always loved the BK27, the high volume of fire has won me many engagements in both the JAS-39C and the Tornados
My theory is that because how common and accessible it is (Tornado IDS). Unfortunately, the tornado series are horrible gunfighters. Also, the other planes that mount them, like EFT, while being decent fighters, guns are less relevant at the tier.
That makes sense, however I love intercepting in the Tornado then running away. Play it like an F-104 and the guns are just perfect. They vomit out shells which tear through everything. Especially the IDS variants with the twin cannons.
DEFA I guess is pretty similar.
Using it on the Mirage III and kfir is a big risk move. It will even easily lose head on duels to F-4C (a clown plane flown by inexperienced players), you can literally see the tracers flying around the target and hoping at least one shell connects.
ADEN 25 on the Harrier GR.7 is so nice tho :) Real shame it gets like 3s trigger time though
Yeah its really funny. I consider the 30mm ADEN one of the hardest (if not the hardest) guns to use on the British TT but consider the 25mm ADEN the best
Was playing the T10 yesterday and absolutely destroyed an F-4 that did a quick pass in front of my nose

Yea the ADEN 25 is among the best or the best, I just find the BK27 really easy to use. Pretty funny the Aden 25 never made it to service yet its found on the T.10 and GR.7 in game
There was a gunpod made for the Gr7/9 and co, just was never used operationally, or something and was used on the Hawks too and something else im forgetting. But NATO Standardization for you. It does make sense that the 27mm just became the standard for basically everyone. If it hadnt, I could see the 25mm ADEN being in the running for main gun for whatever our 4th gen would have been. (though they may have still kept the 27mm just for easy logistics from the Tornado)
EAP with an ADEN 25 would be like a wet dream

Jousting with F-4C, which has M61A1 and claiming F-4C as a clown plane flown by a clown is wild.
Especially when you knows M61A1 is superior to nearly every other guns.
Yes, but there is still a chance I can force tie with him. But that chance is lower than even if I had GSH 23 (there’s a fair chance I may win a head on duel with an A-10)
It’s either kill or get killed in these tiers, if I extend the dogfight (delta wings suck at energy retention) chances are I’ll be shot up by an Aim 9L from elsewhere
I mean to be honest headoning an F-4C or anything with vulcans is a horrible idea. If its an F-4C, Dodge the headon then thrash it with your flight performance

Just put the nose on him and kill him, shoot him!!
Head-on against M61 is not a tie, it is just a suicide attack.
Whoever said the Vulcan… Just… Huh? It’s arguably the best.
Yea I was questioning that too. I see a lot of hate for the NEXTER in game but none here suprisingly
