Just wanted consensus thoughts on which plane kicks more tail...
I never got into the Conquest when I was a kid. It's a cool plane but always thought of the Skystriker to be the default combat jet. Your thoughts on a likely old debate? |

I had them both as a kid as well as the modern ones. I remember thinking when I got my first Conquest for Christmas of 86 "It's cool but it ain't no Skystriker". In my Joeverse there is room for both.
Skystriker=Interceptor/Recon/Ground Attack Conquest=Air-Superiority Fighter. Sort of like how the F-15 and F-16 work together in the Airforce |

I think the Conquest was brought in to compete with Night Ravens? I haven't seen dogfights between Rattlers and Conquests. Hard to say if Skystrikers (or Tomcats) would get chewed up by a NR, but then again real A-10s if I'm correct aren't dogfighters anyway.
Regardless, both Skystrikers and Conquests look glorious stretched across the Flagg (wish i had one). |

Conquests had that flair that screamed speed and aggressiveness, but the skystriker screamed " your F#@Ked"
