Looking at picking up a few since they are on sale...BS2, A10C, F86.....any thoughts on which would be a better buy between the Mi-8 or the Huey The Huey, and it's not particularly close. I have both, and I like and enjoy the MI-8, but the Huey is one of the most immersive, fun, visceral, and flat out cool helicopter sims on the market. Sounds, gatling guns and rockets, door gunners, fun from the first sit in the cockpit but difficult to master, it has it all.
Everybody gets everything they want. I wanted a mission. And for my sins..they gave me one.

The F86 is probably my favorite fixed wing aircraft to just fly around. It's got cockpit that is well enough put together it feels comfortable, is high performance enough it feels sporty, and can do enough things that it doesn't get too old. My only complaints with it are I have a hell of a time spotting things with the Mk-1 Eyeball, and I suck at early jet bfm.
Off to greener pastures

The switchology is a lot simpler as well, which is good when you are learning how to tactically employ a helicopter. Once you are proficient with the Huey, you will have a better time learning the Mi-8.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.
