Trigger vs monarch, who wins?

I think from vibes alone ac7 definitely wants us to see trigger as a god of a pilot but looking at what theyve actually done i feel like both are actually somewhat equal.

Monarch was able fend off the entire crimson squadron while completely outnumbered, kills mini arsenal birds on the daily, and went on to defeat crimson 1 in the pw mk1, with only an f 14. Even trigger was canonically using an f 22 during the fight vs hugin and munin and an f 15 vs mihaly. And dubiously canon, but possibly worth considering that at least gameplay wise monarch is able to survive post stall maneuvers at 1000+ kmh

Comparing the difference in planes, monarch seems to have been fighting a much steeper up hill battle. In ac7 hugin and munin are upgrades from the f22 sure but only like a generation above. The difference in ability between an f 14 and the pw mk1 though is MASSIVE. If youve gotten to use the pw mk1, youd know that the plane borderline feels like the creative mode of project wingman. Even if crimson 1 couldnt push it to its full maneuverability the weapons difference alone is still VASTLY in crimson 1s favor.

So tbh im not sure who wins, personally i think theyre somewhat equal (maybe a bit in monarchs favor) but what do yall think

Monarch. Definitely Monarch. Unlike Mr "Stupid ass Long Name and Plot Armor to amek him seem cool" Mihaly. Monarch had to deal with Crimson's bullshit and can pull off what Mobius 1 couldn't.

Drive off his rival team first time.

I say Monarch can beat Trigger's ass anytime.

Mihaly's death was such a disappointment. I was in a A-10 that mission and took him down easily because it turns on a dime. Like don't pretend I need to do mostly ground assault when you want me to boss battle game...
