Since this video is still getting attention, I'd like to add my updated thoughts on the list. The title now says the aircraft are ranked By Versatility, because I feel as though that's the main thing I cared about in production.

This video was not scripted, as my videos in almost every other case have been, I wasn't sure how much viewership I would receive, so did not stress too much about it.

I also exaggerated certain elements, though I was not being dishonest as some claim.

Here's the updates:

-The ADFX-01 Morgan would not be in last place, the A-10C would. While I stand by the Morgan being one of the worst planes by versatility, and it would still be in the bottom 3 (likely one spot ahead of the F-16C), it's simply not as bad as the A-10C. There simply is no place in the game for a slow Attacker aircraft exclusively.

-The CFA-44 would be right behind the Darkstar, and the MiG-21 would be moved behind both. I stand by the ADMMs being atrocious, and the IEWS is pointless in Campaign, but the 2EML, while nerfed, is still better than some of the aircraft I initially put ahead of it.

-The ASF-X should probably be swapped with the XFA-27, though the top ten is fairly fluid, certain aircraft could easily be moved around. I stand by the Top 3, but would probably move the Raven back a couple spots.

I think those were the main issues people had with placements, besides that, my comments on the TGM aircraft were primarily aimed at the DLC being more expensive, while having only 1 new aircraft with 4 reskins (even then barely, as the 5th Gen Fighter is just the SU-57). The TGM set added virtually no new content of substance besides MP breaking skins for the F/A-18 and F-14, but the Darkstar was nice.

Never let bro cook again

Bro did not just say the Rafale is a crappy looking version of the typhoon. It's the other way around

Wtf? ADMM from Nosferatu wipes most of the earlier missions off the map, and still relevant in later ones. Stonehenge mission is a literal cakewalk when you destroy an entire column with a single volley.

Should call this vid “two vague people provide opinions on what plans match their vibes.”

I vehemently disagree with almost every opinion presented here but thumbs up for AC7 content

Lasers being blocked by clouds is entirely realistic

We definitely have entirely different opinions on aesthetics.  I think the Rafale and SU-57 are sexy, and the Typhoon and F-15S/MTD are absolutely hideous. 😂

Su-57 with PLSL is literally so insane for campaign, and CFA ADMM, kinda crazy they are so low lol

Genuinely deglove this man

Pretty certain you put the CFA-44 very low because you haven't played it much and you're still used to playing how it was in AC6. Many planes do high G turns in 6 due to the older hardware limitations, and I will say although I miss being able to fire the ADMMs in a single volley, they behave a bit more like 6AAMs despite firing two missiles at one target. The plane itself is still VERY deadly against air and ground targets, but suffers against ships. For those, a plane equipped with LASMs or SFFS bombs is better. It also deals with the super drones handly.

The fullback definitely fulfilled its role for me...i loved it and the 57

Lasers being stopped by clouds is just physics. it's a logical drawback

I’m both surprised and pleased to see the Rafale make it as high in the list as it did. It’s my personal favorite modern jet by quite a large margin. I also suspect it’s going to be a heavy hitter in AC8 given the requirement of the first run being limited to carrier compatible craft, definitely gonna make it my main whenever I unlock it.

Ive beaten the game multiple times on all levels with multiple planes. Beating the whole game with an A10 Warthog was pretty fun.

They really nerfed alot of the aircraft and absolutely nerfed the special weapons. I like grinding to get super overpowered weapons.. the MPBM from 0 was great.. but id want something even more overpowered. Also.. i kinda wish the tracking of missiles was different per missile. Each missile type kinda just chases the target instead of some predicting where an enemy would be and intercepting it.

Seeing my beloved YF-23 at #12 makes me happy. Wish it had something like 6AAM instead 4, but oh well. HVAA is pretty fun.

You forgot how broken the FAEB was in 6. Also the best bomb BAR NONE is the SFFS. I use those to clown on Torres and the Alicorn as well as the Score Attack Missions in the F-15E.

A-10 did mostly all my missions and if anything it made the 5th gen fighters feel better when doing high a2a combat

The Rafale being top 2 just cements it's stated 'Omnirole' status IRL kekw. And yes despite being a Keyboard player I love the XFA-27 to bits. It's the most 'conventional' (because of it's SPW) out of the superplanes, but that's what makes it great.
