What vehicle to research

[Sayonari 0]

I'm currently deciding if I should research between two vehicles:

The AD-2 seems a lot less useful to me than the AM-1 because of its payload but if I research the AD-2 I get the F3D which seems like a good CAS jet that can go with my best ground lineup the T34, T26E1/E5 and the M56 (as long as I don't get uptiered to 7.7).

 

The F-84 series certainly seems better as a fighter because of its speed, agility and airspawn but the P-51H has a less than ideal stock performance. Though fast, the idea of only 6x50 cals at 6.3 doesn't appeal very well to me.

 

To summarize the F-84 is a better fighter and an okay CAS aircraft while the F3D has a better payload and guns - So what should I get?

Go P-51H you'll need to reseach many jets for higher ranks.

All of them are good in their own right, cannot go really wrong with any. Depends on your play style and/or if you have SL/RP issues or not, if no issues, go for all of them. Mauler, Skyraider, and F3D are more dedicated CAS and the F3D is more maneuverable than the F-84, which is better at high speed and has a slightly more versatile loadout (though F3D does come with Tiny Tims, if you like them more than HVAR, but you only get 2).

Best regards,
