A6M5 Ko into finishing RankV, then F-5E-FCU with a talisman into RankVIII, then play every jet you like.
The squadron F-5E-FCU is better than the tech tree F-5T-SCU.
The Phantom can be good if you know how to use a missle truck but overall the F-5E is just broken right now, i'd only use that for the grind.
For the fun, play both the F-15, the F-16AJ, the F-2 and the Jas39C
