The airfield arresting wires are not for increased landing speed. They are for potential/loss of braking.
They shouldn’t be added just to enable people to be bad at landing.

Which is not why you want them added last I checked.
they should as it takes forever to land most planes because poor breaks
adding them increases time effieciency
Suck less.
Come in on speed and every fighter sized aircraft can be stopped before the end of the parking spaces.
Even the F-15s and F-16s with “bad brakes”

takes longer than coming in at a higher speed
Most aircraft can get within 1km of the airfield going mach and still pull S turns to bleed their speed just fine. Skill issue
still takes more time id rather be able to land at higher speed in my tomcat like its intended to than slow down
Clearly it’s not, if you can’t
it can its just theres no arresting cables on runways on carries you can land it 400mph while on a runway you land at that speed you spend ten minutes breaking
Which you shouldn’t be able to do

navy planes land at high speed
they have gear designed for it
they land at roughly 300 mph or higher incase you need to make a go around
f18 landing
No.

TFW you have no idea what you’re talking about
yes but manual also says slowing down that much if pratical
you forgot sipan and Tinian
No, they don’t they use full throttle when they hit the deck in case the hook misses, they don’t hit the deck at 300mph maybe 300kph (maybe) but not mph that would cause an extreme amount of wear and stress on the airframe
Can you imagine what happens to landing gear, airframe and hook (and cable) if you try to get that Turkey down with 300 knots instead of 150?
That’s 4x the energy!!!

yep way too much stress on the airframe
