They all have different purposes, lol.

Not too mention dif empires, TR have to worry about Anti Air the most, as NC or VS when you here Beep Beep you don't worry if it's TR.

Totally depends on what you're into. Mossie for killing infantry and scouting over enemy bases and towers, Reaver for some anti-troop work, killing lightly armored vehicles and taking down other aircraft, and Liberator for splattering troops in large quantities and/or destroying heavy vehicles, but be mindful you'll want a gunner and a bomber.

To be honest, I use the Liberator the most. I fly it solo quite a bit, and while it is sluggish as heck and I'm doomed if a couple enemy aircraft spot me, I'm pretty damn good with it. With that nosegun I've killed countless infantry, AA MAX, tanks, as well as a good number of enemy aircraft (few take into consideration how hard that cannon hits!) When I've got a buddy helping me, I'll go bombing infantry in crowded enemy courtyards or throw him in the tailgun and go vehicle hunting. If any enemy aircraft come after you, tilt the nose down, pivot the tailgunner towards the target and let him tear the enemy a new one.

That said, the Mossie and Reaver are also fun as heck to fly.

Whenever I'm in my Anti-Air VS max and I see a full lib... I think "Woot! 3 easy kills!"

I don't think there is a best. They each have a purpose (even if those purposes are now skewed through game changes). But they are all good for certain things and intended for certain things. If you use them for what they are meant and can become skilled in it you can have just as much impact no matter which on you use. Infact that is the only way to have an impact. Anything esle makes as minimal amount of impact on teh way combat goes as most of the fighting around you. Which is almost nothing.

There is also the issue of teamwork in vehicles. Each has different way sof doing this because they are intended for different purposes in combat. If you even simply managed to do this properly you would have a huge impact in any battle anywhere. As far as the proper enemy/ies are available to kill with that vehicles abilities. Of course that makes room for soemeone else to do what you did and wipe up the battle before the next volley of men come to refill the possition. (if any do by chance)

I'd say, overall the Reaver.

Its Very Good AA, Excelent AV, Decent AI, second fastest vehicle in game, good amount of armor. Bar AA MAXes, and AA BFRs, nothing can beat a Reaver one-vs-one (in terms of manpower)
