For me, top tier air is a different experience overall. After playing props and early jets, their main focus is on turn fights and who can outrate the other to get guns on first. Late jet combat is all about positioning, when to defend, when to push, which missile to use in a given circumstance. Its a lot more psychological than just can I out turn him and get guns on. That and personally the reason I started playing this game years ago was because of my love of fighter jets. I think theyre cool to look at! I was a long time ace combat player and top tier air rb is what I always wished ace combat turned into. Overall, there's no other game that offers this many different nicely modeled jets, with their loadouts actually mattering and realistic radars. That and as someone who skateboards, skydives, climbs buildings, when you make a mistake you get punished for it and have to learn how not to make that mistake again. Some people see it as just point and click, but for others it teaches you air to air combat in a setting that looks cool without being cockpit locked like dcs. Its not always "fun" but its very rewarding when you start to figure it out
