Attacker: I don't really know. I suppose the Fullback? Right now it would be the F/B-22 I believe

I've flown the FB-22 Aries and the maneuverability is complete garbage. It is an attacker but that thing moves like a brick. I'd much rather give up the speed that the Su-34 and, say, the F-2A Nagase lack for the mobility they provide in comparison.

I'm pretty sure the handling of the FB-22 is so horrendous because of the wing design.

Also, the F/A 18F is the highest grade of mid-tree multirole if you put the work into it. I've got mine at level 6 and with the parts I use (Enhanced Engine Nozzle L, Enhanced Engine Compressor L, High Spec Main Wing Actuator L (Roll), Advanced Mobile Fin L for standard missiles, Advanced Propulsion L for standard missiles, Advanced Target Awareness Circuit L for special weapons and the datalink antenna) and it performs like a beast. I regularly outperform F/15 S/MTDs with it. The turning at that level with those parts is also comparable to most fighter planes.
