Our take

To start: the F-16

It is free, very agile (9) and good enough to learn on. Its weak point is fire rate: 300 ms between shots, the slowest of all.

First purchase: the Su-57 Felon

The cheapest paid jet (3,500 credits) already has speed and firepower of 10 and a 210 ms fire delay. The trade-off is agility 7: dodging takes more anticipation.

For dodging: the Rafale

With agility 10, it is the easiest jet to slip between shots. It fires slower than the Su-57 but suits players who prefer to evade.

Best all-rounder: the F-22 Raptor

Speed 10, agility 9, firepower 9 and a 210 ms delay. At 5,000 credits it is the most complete.

For bosses: the F-35 Lightning II

The most expensive (7,500 credits) and also the fastest to fire (190 ms) with firepower 10. Agility is 7, so fly cleanly. See our boss tips.

Suggested buying order

Start with the F-16, aim for the Su-57 or the Rafale first, then the F-22. Keep the F-35 for last.
