So this is raven territory.
That's an enemy gunship.

Only played 2 fully, that game was great.

I still wish had ever gotten Substance levels of VR missions (or thematic equivalent) with any of the later titles.

If I had to rate them on the total package that each game entails

2 > 5 > 3 > 1 > 4

Gameplay wise it's clearly:

5 > 2 > 1 (Twin Snakes) > 4 > 3

Story I think:

3 > 2 > 1 > 4 > 5

Wear this title with pride!
I forgot just how frustrating BBE run is on MGS4 can be but otherwise what a fantastic game and such a satisfying conclusion to Solid Snake's Story. The gameplay is just so damn underrated.
