@Jolly said in F-22 vs. FA-50:
But follow the link for the FA-50. A lot of capability for a cheap (relatively) combat aircraft.
Yeah, you've been evangelizing cheap combat aircraft for years. Indeed, the FA-50 seems very capable. But, for a real test, put it up against its peer-aircraft.
Or, in a real-world situation, when the planes are not crippled, the ROE are not restrictive, when weapons systems are all functioning, how long would a flight of cheap aircraft hold up against half a dozen Raptors?
I'm not denying the role of cheap fighter and CAS support aircraft <cough> Hawg <cough>. THey're essential. My only comment is that this is not a real-world test. But, people smarter than I am designed the games, so I'll shut up.
