I don't know Lanc., The Okha you're guaranteed death 100% (You'll have a great flight though). The Natter I would give 99.997% and the -163 about 55%. I guess it depends how quick you want to die

Oh yea, can't forget that death trap! I rate it 50% if you were just going to fly it, 100% if you were planning on crashing into something. If I was a Typhoon pilot, I would love to shoot one of those down!

Most Ohkas got shot down before they reached their target whilst still aboard the mother ship.

I know, but lanc was saying hed rather die helping his country, but if he got taken out before he reached the target then that isnt helping your country!

Id go with the Ba-349

Well out of the choices so far, it's the best looking. If ya gotta go, it may as well be in a cool looking death trap!

I'd go for the -163, at least that way I'd have some chance of survival
