Both are correct in English and for the most part it’s a dialect difference. It’s just that usually tonne is used for metric and ton for imperial.

gaijin could cash out if they added the F4G whenever ECM and multi piece SAMs are added

Oh by the way and advantage the French carrier have over the UK ones i think :
It use 2 E-2C Hawkeye.
If that’s a premium I’m gonna hurt basement guy
In American English, it’s ton, whereas in Australian English, my dialect, both are used with it leaning more toward tonne due to being very close to British English.

Yes
fair enough, from what I can see the Rafale M has a total additional capacity of 14 metric tonnes, wheras the F-35B should manage 12.5 metric tonnes, so the Rafale is slightly better, but then I’d still take the stealth over a tonne and a half of payload
Nukee subs aren’t meant for “sub-to-ship” or “sub-to-sub” combat, they’re made to get to an area without getting shot at and dump a full load of missiles
Which is why they don’t have the best capacity when it comes to torpedoes
I just don’t know them. It’s a squadron ?
No way you life in a place called tittybong lmao.
I don’t, no. I just find it really funny that that’s the name of a place in Australia.

Yeah, till radars are upgraded and can spot better stealth planes, then if the massive advantage you have over others are stealth, it’s bad.
Also if you use your F35 with maximum payload (like some under the wings if it can), stealth is lost.
Yeah, having a proper AEW&C is a huge deal, unfortunately the one major downside of ramped carriers, we have to use a helicopter based one

Kinda more like a modification to an aircraft. The squadron was originally F100F I believe but the idea of “wild weasel” is to use a freind to get a SAM to launch. When that happens they fire an Anti rad missile to kill it.
It is VERY dangerous because you have to hop your friends missile kills the sam site before it kills you.
Here’s an example of one of them dodging some sam’s. (He was the only survivor I believe) Start at 3:00
That’s sound plain sad (and almost stupid) to me.
F-35 is capable of performing AWACS mission, not as good as an E-2 tbf, but combined with data sent from onbaord sensors and other ships, you get a good picture of battlespace

Well same for the Rafale, between the E-2, the data links from ships and all…
It’s not sad it’s effective. This one was a bad mission. The balls on these guys make the success rate what it is.
That’s why I said they F/A-18 growler was better because of the men who fly it.
