Wait, so I'm looking at this and it looks pretty cool. Then I get to picking a plane out and I find I can't have an F-22. Reasonable, what's to stop everyone from picking it if It's allowed right? Alright, then I'll take a flank- no, that's not allowed either. Okay... so we have generations I can pick from, and I can't pick anything past 4. Okay, perfect. Then I'll take a Fulcr- what? really? but that's generation four! I know I can't have the best plane but i'd at least like something respectable, otherwise we'd just be flying Fishbeds or something. Lord knows I ain't flying no fishbed. Wait... what's that on the list... is that- Oh my god it is! The F-15E! It's fourth gen? Fucking sweet! That was my favorite plane in AC6! Hell yea- what? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN MEH. Okay. fine. I'll guess I'll just... take an F-16 then. Sure it's boring, but at least it's depend- WHAT?! THAT'S LIKE THE FIRST PLANE YOU GET IN THESE GAMES! Come onnnn... What am I supposed to fly now? I don't want to fly an attacker, I'll just zoom in, blow up the things on the ground and run, I won't even get to dogfight. Otherwise I'd take this thunderbolt but who am I kiddin' I probably couldn't have one of those. And my character I've conceptualized would love his plane to death, so I wouldn't even get to upgrade if the opportunity did come along... 

So, I'm outta ideas. I really, REALLY wanna do this, it's not often that I slog through all the RWBY, Fairy tail, and other assorted bullshit to find an RP worth investing time in, and I love the shit out of ace combat. But, I just can't take a Fishbed, man.

If you do not mind attack aircraft, the Su-25 is a good choice. When upgrading comes, you can just turn it into the Su-39 or Su-25KM, both of which are the extremely modernized variants of the Su-25, so while you get the avionics and weaponry upgrades, your character would still be flying the same plane. 'Sides, just because it's not built for air-to-air doesn't mean that mission conditions won't force your character into engaging in a dogfight, eh?

If you really want a fighter, you could go with the Su-15 and upgrade it into the Su-19, a proposed modification of the Su-15 where it would receive the more powerful R-25-300 engines, a delta wing and additional pylons.
