When does your next come out?

well yeah, just saying that there is design justification for the reduced number of torpedoes

It was more a counter to his German U-boat comment, still, we have the 2nd biggest carrier fleet in the world right now, though that is largely because it was more expensive to cancel the second carrier than to just have it build, we kind of don’t have the capacity for it, although given current developments it might have been a blessing

Can F35B take out with 25Tons of weaponry and fuel ?

One for now, tonnage is around 75,000 tonnes but the project take more weight with the time.

And since the Charles de Gaulle, smaller, can use the same number of planes than one of the UK ones, this one would hold more stuff.

isnt the PLAN making more carriers? i think thatll make them #2

Scheduled for 2036.

can the Rafale take off with 50,000 pounds of weapons and fuel?

Dang and the tonnage?

Been a while welcome back

No but it can be stealthy
(both have there strengths and weaknesses)

You obviously aren’t used to using metric. 25 tonnes is more than 50000 pounds.

Yeah, they are building them, and I expect they’ll overtake us in the next decade or so, but for now Britannia rules the waves once more

your right. 25 metric tons is more than the MTOW for Rafale lol

What is a tonne compared to a ton?

1,000kg instead of 2,000lb

so rougly 2200lb

Rafale too, but it use other stuff, not only the same stealth as F-35.

Mostly dialect differences, however in regard to imperial, a ton is 1016kg.

EDIT: nevermind, that’s a different thing. I don’t know.

They are both good at different things. However we also have wild weasel f/a-18s which are some crazy people imo.

A ton is 1000kg.

Metric system rules by 0.
