Then why don't you? I'm sure everyone here wouldn't mind choosing another plane, and it would keep the Mary Sue Fulcrum/Flanker pilots out. I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to have the game the way you want it. You're the GM and it's your rules.

While that is very radical, I may have to agree...Maybe we can have a cut-off date for planes? And besides, the whole idea is that even older planes can be modified to make them not only up to date but also make them multirole, so the MiG-29 isn't the only multirole that is possible. Even the A-4 can be made multirole, like Brazil has done with theirs, making them fourth-generation fighters comparable to the F-16 (I can scan the article about this from Combat Aviation Monthly if anyone wants).

It does seem counter-intuitive to include things like the F-15, which are competent without modification in the E and ACTIVE versions. It would be cool if there was a modifications taper depending on the model of jet, which would make our unmodified jets compatible with non- or lightly modified newer multiroles like the Eagle/Flanker/etc.
