Is this the best post WWII/early cold war era subsonic fighter jet?

I wish there are a 1950s era flight sim that wasn't just MiG-15 vs F-86

No. Sabre looks infinitely cooler.

The best early cold war subsonic fighter jet is the F-35. Yes, im sorry to say, the cold war is inly just beginning.

No. They should have fitted the Vulcan with early air-to-air missiles and an array of two dozen .50 cal MGs in the nose.

The very concept of "Arsenal Vulcan" is making me painfully aroused

Now imagine a squadron of three of them, supported by an AWACS/EW Vulcan.

Best in what way? Probably the most useful and longest serving early cold war tacair was the A-4 Skyhawk

I disagree it's a really great game hidden behind some of the most predatory monetization techniques in the industry. Sim battles with cold War jets is the most enjoyable simulator on the market currently (Maybe nuclear option tips it but I haven't played enough to know for sure just yet)

i made a post about it a while ago, iirc the later versions of the saber were marginally better than the hunter and they had a better radar too

It's hard to imagine what a subsonic dogfight really was like.
Even the Me262 and Me163 were considered too fast for attack maneuvers.

Hunter was designed after the F100, F86 was like 7 years early

The A4 was an awesome little attack plane.
