I'm taking that as a personal attack. Since you do it so often.

If by "Attack" you mean insult, then you're right. In which case you do way more often to me than I do to you.  You're the last person who should complain about a personal attack. Oh boo hoo

Ironical. You complain about others to mods all the time, the minute someone does it to you it's the end of the fucking world.

You hit the nail on the head gonzo.

Oh and bf2s vs me isn't exactly the same proportions as me vs seymorebutts

Yeah, because you lose on both occasions.

Anyone know what the square rectangular bump things on it are? The black rectangles on both sides of the cockpit? They're funky.

it's traction tape, so you don't slip while climbing in the cockpit.

what's beneath them, i have no idea. Miramar doesn't get much rain, that's where i saw an f-14. i'd guess it's fleet wide.

So thats what they are. Thanks! On an aircraft carrier, er, is there a lot of mist, (Or water), making the deck area wet a lot? I know the f-14's a naval jet, but, is that why the tapes there? Or are the jets just slippery in general?

Lets see, Seaborne jet on the ocean for months at a time. Takes off and lands in almost any condition. I wonder why they put them on there.

Do A research n00b - wikipedia it, and get back to us. remember to plagiarize verbatim, but don't cite your source. got it?

Oh, to make it versatile. Thanks.

Beech Starship

It had some problems, but was super maneuverable. And, it looked very, very cool. That's what an X-29 with forward swept wings, canards, winglets, two engines, and a propellor would look like.

Huh?  Are you trying to compare the X-29 to the Beechcraft? 
...and forward swept wings look very little like rearward swept wings.

That's the old "know-it-all" pace.

Trying to compare an x-29 to a beechcraft... er... by dropping the authoritative tone, I don't sound arrogant now, I just sound stupid.

Holy shit. I know that guy. Worked with him on Air Staff.

No. The F-35 is replacing the F-16 (and F-18, and--supposedly--the A10). The F-22 is replacing the F-15.

I don't understand how an F35 can take on the roll of a tank buster like the A10.

Actually, the a10 is too specialized for its own good. Very vulnerable to AA missiles or something. The F-35 has VTOL capabilities, and AG missiles which make it a quite capable weapons platform. However, it's kinda hard to compare an f-35 to an A-10, because although they have similar roles, they went about completing their missions differently. F-35 is more of a bugger to locate and kill, though, although the A-10 was heavily armoured. And, an F-35 can hold its own in a dogfight, whereas an A-10 cannot math the speed of many other jets, and it's vulnerable to various SAM's.

Don't quote me, I'm no expert, but that's the gist of it.

Personally, I love the A-10, but I think a stealthy a JSF like the F-35 (or even the X-32, the competitor) is a great replacement. For one, the F-35 can avoid radar most of the time, being stealth, and is hard to detect. Also, it can dogfight adequately, and do other kinds of AA combat. The A-10 had a bigger and arguably more brutal weapons load, but even with its heavy armour, it could be shot down quite easily because it couldn't engage many other aircraft in combat if they attacked. Also, it is low flying, and it's maneuverability, roll tactics, and armour mean little against multiple AAA batteries and SAM concentrations. Although it was deployed in zones where it would have to face as many tanks and as little AA as possible, more and more fighter and AA activity is present today then when the A-10 came out... it's pretty outdated.

The OA-10 is excellent though in the observation role. It can take a hit and survey the battlefield.

And back to the comparisons. I'd compare an F-35 more to the aircraft it's replacing, like the F-18. Which it is in many aspects superior too.

God I swear I see a naked woman when I see this one..



She's so fucking beautiful.
