The Hornet is the first truly multirole aircraft. Its weapons loadout is extremely versatile - XMAAs for air-to-air fights, UGBMs for clustered enemy targets, and LASMs for dealing with SAM sites from long range, or the SAM-equipped cruisers in [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies/Invincible Fleet|Invincible Fleet]]. It is quite feasible for slightly above-average players to beat the entire game using the Hornet. | The Hornet is the first truly multirole aircraft.

The Eagle is essentially a drastically souped-up version of the F-16 - capable of bombing and fighting, but more slated to fighting. The F-15E, however, is superior in every respect and the Typhoon is coming up soon, which will likely replace your F-15C if you decide to get one. The Hornet will satisfy your multirole needs for a while. | The Eagle is essentially a drastically souped-up version of the F-16 - capable of bombing and fighting, but more slated to fighting.

Regrettably the MiG's sole appearance in this game isn't a notable one. It doesn't turn very well and its armament is somewhat lacking - it is beaten in practically every way by the Hornet and in many respects, the Eagle. | Regrettably the MiG's sole appearance in this game isn't a notable one.

Although many players will choose the Nighthawk for its appearance, its appearance is its only real advantage. The stealth feature, while nice, is more of an annoyance for the enemy than a real game-breaker as it can be in real life. It is otherwise comparable to the Tornado, but fortunately doesn't sport the difficult to use bomblet dispenser. | Although many players will choose the Nighthawk for its appearance, its appearance is its only real advantage.

The next generation of fighters, the Typhoon is well worth the jump in price and it is the choice of many players, even in future installments. In Versus mode and in skilled hands, it can even down more advanced planes like the F-22. | The next generation of fighters, the Typhoon is well worth the jump in price and it is the choice of many players, even in future installments.

Having likely just acquired the Typhoon, the Rafale will likely sink to the bottom of the barrel for a while. The Strike Eagle will soon be available, followed by Mobius 1's canonical aircraft, the Raptor. These planes make the Rafale unfortunately sub-par for an aircraft obtained this late in the game. Its LASMs, however, can still be employed to good effect against pesky SAM sites. | Having likely just acquired the Typhoon, the Rafale will likely sink to the bottom of the barrel for a while.
