What Is the Strongest Plane in Military Tycoon?
The previous version of this article was inconsistent: it called LE Rocket Plane the absolute #1 even though the MT Diamonds combat ranking places Super CFA44 higher among conventional combat aircraft.
Why Super CFA44 ranks higher in our combat ranking
Super CFA44 is built around sustained firepower: dual plasma guns with large ammunition reserves plus multiple missile bursts. In our ranking this produces a higher overall combat score than LE Rocket Plane. This is a combat-effectiveness ranking; market price is not part of the score.
Why LE Rocket Plane is still one of the best
LE Rocket Plane stands out for its speed, repeatable boost, powerful missiles and laser cannon. It has a very high skill ceiling: an experienced pilot can use its speed to control distance, chase targets and disengage from bad fights.
What about Super Air Carrier?
In the overall Top 112, Super Air Carrier ranks even higher at #13 with 78.05. However, it is a flying carrier/fortress rather than a conventional fighter aircraft, so this article treats it as a separate class.
Verdict
Super CFA44 is currently our #1 conventional aircraft by combat ranking. LE Rocket Plane is the much more valuable and scarce trading item, with 10/10 demand, scarcity and functionality, and remains one of the most dangerous aircraft in skilled hands.
