I agree (Although F-15SE would be cool)… But how does this retain to the discussion that’s been going on for 20+ minutes now? Unless you’re somehow saying the F-14D shouldn’t be included in the US TT?
Slower than T95?
Nah, US should be able to still get it’s stuff and minor nations are called minor nations for a reason.
If you really care that much about equal number of vehicles then you better start counting serials
It reverses 90% of the time at -1kph, and movings isn’t an option it gets stuck on everything and if you do move it won’t turn so you get forwards and no left and god forbid trying to reverse.
That’s rough
Just look at some of my clips its horrible lol. Its like watching the T28 but worse
mmmm 9Ls on a subsonic platform with no flares “fun”
They had enough.
Due to the position of the pickets, they did not have perfect coverage, nor could they see something flying in low over the Islands themselves.
Hu? Again, they never once used Aim-9Ls in all-aspect.
No, they didnt. The Carriers were being kept far enough away to keep them as safe as possible from air attack. The SHars had very limited time on station, even with max fuel and 100 gal fuel tanks. Its why they were doing so many sorties. I cant remember the exact figure, but a pair of SHars was taking off something like once every hour to maintain 3 CAP stations over the Falklands
What I’m saying is not everything should be added all at once and one update after the other. Sure it will props get added at some point but after 3 hornets I think the US can ride on not getting anything for a couple of updates while other nations get something meaningful.

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.
405 when i 405 when i 405 when i 405 i when 504

“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.
