It’s so milked at this point . We get your stance. Britain good US bad. Spam that in the EFT thread or something.

combat experiece vs fresh out of pilot school

Only a true pilot plays all nations not just the US.

If F-15 pilots were deployed to Germany during the height of the cold war without proper training to beat half-finished (no HUD or Radar) Sea Harriers then I am very concerned with the USAF

fair enough. but still, they wouldnt have been trained for something like the SHar, it wouldve been MiG-23, 29, 25, maybe Su-27 depeding on when it happened.

i have my frogfoot and my spitfire mk2

Maybe, but even then, the US did operate the Harrier itself, wouldnt be surprised if USMC Harriers did some assymetrical training with the F-15 at least once

I have at least 350 aircraft with 800 technology played across the broad

i will get my MiG-25 too, once it comes

never heard of them doing it. I mean, in assymetric combat you usually simulate what known enemy aircraft would do, afaik the Soviets had nothing similar in performance to harrier (YaK-38 much worse iirc)

I will be able to grind the F-2 once it come.

nice, I hope you enjoy playing it

I won’t became I’m a prop kinda guy though if another nation that has a platform like the F-5 FCU with it’s P-4’s then I will grind my way up to that.

It’s not necessarily about that though,

Like for example Sea Harrier FA2s use to have a lot of battles against Tornado F3s not because they were planning to fight the Italians anytime soon but because the 2 aircraft were radically different and so it requires fighting differently than just always doing Shar vs Shar. It was also not uncommon though for them to simulate the weapons they would be fighting against however.

Though I think if there is one thing that can be learnt from the Falklands, never train against the predicted opponents. Mirages, Daggers and A-4s were rather unexpected opponents for both the RAF and RN. Though a program of trianing against and with the French and Spanish and I think other European nations became quite common

As for air in general in other nations, I have most nations at the early jet age.

idk what a dagger is but dont A-4, Mirage have similar performance to MiG-21 that they for sure would be training against in that they bleed speed a lot?

Dagger is a refurbed Nesher.

And not entirely.

I can get the next tech-trees Sherman, sadly this is a lie as I don’t have WW2 finished on half the nations but I can get my most wanted ones

Btw if you run the Hurricane 2x 40mm and the A13 with an event tank and use it in battle, you can milk the events that why since you can get a ton of assist from the Hurricane

oh ok. even then, SHar had much better AAM and generally newer than whatever the Argentines could throw at them. its not a bad jet by any means, but in true air superiority against 4th gen fighters of the time it wouldnt do to great
