Skyviper 1,101 Posted February 5, 2016 I'm wondering what you guys and gals think about this? (even though it's an old video) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snailman 517 Posted February 5, 2016 While I value practical raw effectiveness, I can understand both viewpoint... after all, I think it is still the pilot who counts the most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted February 5, 2016 Yep a good plane isn't good if someone can't fly it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Nightshade/PR 7,939 Posted February 6, 2016 Both finesse and functionality have their place, and I think the Russians do a great job of balancing those factors. That being said, I agree that without a good pilot, any aircraft is just a 1g strafe target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted February 6, 2016 I know this is off topic. But Nightshade I just want you to know that every post you make I hear in the voice of Captain Ben Sisko. I'm not sure if I said this before or not. But dang it. Your posts are the only poss that has this effect. Seriously I hear his voice saying everything you write. Articulating ever-y syllable. Back on topic. I too like how the Russian's do some things not all things but some things. I love their Mi-24 that's just a cool bird too though not a fighter aircraft. It's still cool.
