>>14738275I have pilots' experience that is willing to differ. In a training environment. And naturally its less capable than a Gay Eagle. Its meant to go on a boat, you have to sacrifice something to get all the carrier related bits in there...
And as one my pilots put it... Its not all plane that determines everything. Its pilots too. Technology accounts for nothing for a wrong decision made at the merge. Just like Sophie's Tomcats. They got tunnel vision and ignored her (or maybe didn't see her) and they payed for it.
Hornets are extremely agile and can put their nose where it needs to be faster than a Falcon. I'm telling you after talking to my pilots its more than "Plane A can do this better than Plane B."
Well not when Plane A's pilot does nothing to minimize Plane B's strengths. If a Falcon Driver is better than the Hornet Driver at it. I'll give it to the Falcon. Our pilots got the pants knocked off 'em at first by Thais in F-16A's. Because the Thais did their homework and our guys were probably a little overconfident, once they used our drag queen characteristics to our advantage in the phonebooth, we gained the upper hand.
Multi-roles are just that. Jacks of all trades, masters of none. But don't give me the drivel that with two somewhat similar planes with slightly differing characteristics one can have a clean cut advantage.
>Lrn2AirTacticsNot mad at you bro, just armchair pilots that always forget the human factor in the fight. Because it matters more than some people think.
