We need to hide under buildings and HAV which stand still great target for infantry. With jet fighets there will be no life at all. Or... there can be anti-air missle tank )
Again:
These are confirmed. They will be in the game. And the current state of HAVs is likely temporary in any case. Fear that your chosen asset may lose some of its dominance is not a legitimate reason to say that another asset should be removed. |

Whoah, whoah, slow down there. I've seen no official mention of Jet Packs or Gunships, and the planned count of vehicle classes on release is 10. We haven't had any new information since then. |

Why would a Fighter with afterburners be bad? |

That's not what that stage demo was showing, and if you skip earlier in that video, you can see he selects from a menu that clearly says Figther. There was another dev post mentioned stating that Fighters don't work well with our current maps because their speed will just have you red-zoning over and over. That doesn't sound like attributes of something similar to those glorified helicopters we get in Planetside 2.
That said, I hope we'll be looking at mechanics similar to the Ace Combat series. This game is based a little too far along the technology curve for us to be doing things World War 2 style.
EDIT: Yes, I realize the mechanics of that game have you engaging far closer than happens in reality, but anyone who's played Planetside 2 knows what I'm talking about as far as how air combat in that game works. They even just nerfed the range on seeker missiles to around 150 feet. Its ridiculous. |

Whether it has air breathing jet engines or plasma ion engines like the dropship wouldn't matter.
I am looking forward to finding out if they will be capable of the standard air combat manuvers that modern jets are. If so, it will usher in the role of true figher jocks who will have to learn what a Split-S, Scissors, and High and Low Yo-yo is all about. Dude, that is my DREAM! If it comes to this, screw the ground. I am gonna be up there all the time. True flyboys know what to do. And by the gods of New Eden i will rule the skies! Cool story bro! Good luck fighting other pilots 
The Fighter was a sub-category under aircraft, so I'm thinking we might be seeing multiple types of fixed-wing aircraft, like Attacker and Multirole aircraft as well, or something. |

I would imagine the release of this type of aircraft will probably coincide with the introduction of a SAM turret for HAVs, or something along those lines. |

Gotta agree on this one. Jumpjets are great for Tribes and MechWarrior, but I really don't think they'd fit here. |

Imagine dark void as multiplayer Inb4tehbashing: dark void was a damn good, but glitchy sci fi shooter that would've been better with multiplayer
I thought Dark Void was a not-so-great remake of a not-so-great original? |

It was one of those you either loved or hated, man. I've been a fan of Armored Core for years, and all those games are the same way. |

Exactly, and thus a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing. But really, this thread is getting kind of off-topic.
"Jet Fighters" are confirmed, we so far know of 10 total vehicle classes, and I'm not sold on jetpack as a gameplay mechanic. |

STB Vermaak Doe wrote:Forget making new models and just expand on the fighters in eve, but put them on here
Nooooooo. Those things are huge. Flying them would be about as exciting as watching paint dry, and the whole point of EVE players being able to provide airstrikes is that those packages are heavier than what we can field. |
