anyway off to bed it’s almost 4 in the morning
I mean they had missiles to physically close any speed gap, which probably never happened with how tight on fuel the Argentine jets were
We both know that’s not happening.

No. The Argentines managed to evade the SHars quite often by simply either being faster, or at least equal speed and so the SHars could never lcose the gap.
I think the US should get the F-14D and F-15QA, Japan should get the F-15K and F-15SG. This is an even trade in my eyes.

“Shars could never close the gap” and “Shar got 22-0 in Falklands” are a bit contradictory no? Sure some spots didn’t have great radar coverage but what about everything else? Your focusing on the few disadvantages

What trade is there? All of those have more connections to US and the F-15SG is literally operated by a USAF squadron

The F-14D is strictly US too so idk how it’s a “trade”

And what nation do you think the US got that from? :)
Please read books like Harrier 809 and Sea Harrier Over the Falklands.
But the point is. F-15. Massive overwhelming advantages. F-14 huge advantages. SHar… Had loads of handicaps. In theory, the SHar was expected to loose all aircraft within the first week.
Probably those damn Canadians :P

Most F-15 and 14 kills happened in the air forces of smaller countries with far less support the the USAF. So this doesn’t really hold up

You mean the McDonnel Douglas Harrier II which came before the Bae harrier 2?
And the BAE Harrier 1 came before the BAE/McDonnel Douglas modified/upgraded version. The American Harrier IIs still use British built parts, like the engines.
By your logic. AV-8A, AV-8C, AV-8B (NA) and AV-8B+ in the US TT should be in the British TT as they are all Harriers

Harrier 2 is not the same as a Harrier 1. By your logic the F-35 can be lumped in as the same type as a P-38.
Anyways. The AV-8A and C for the countless American aircraft in other trees isn’t a bad trade
The Su-30MKM would unironically be better than the Russian one two which makes it even funnier
John 405 error… when i get my hands on you!

MKI would be better too. I think only MKK might be worse without the upgrades
