Exactly my point, why waste money trying to build a nuke sub if an electric can do the job better. Bite the bullet, get 20 Collins class subs to guard the coast.
Except all that melted concrete in Dresden...valve bouncer said:I wish you guys had have done as good on Japan as you did on Germany. Everything there looks lovely and twee, Japan...well, Japan looks like a bomb hit it.
Damn that 60's technology. I still hope this new tech can be applied commercially. I suspect Andy that the real reason supersonic commercial planes are not in the pipeline is still the noise deal. BTW Andy, you seem a plane bloke, do you check airliner.net? I go there ocassionally although I'm not a member. F*ck paying $25 to be a member.Andyman_1970 said:

and i agree we need to work more on our ground forces. but the f-22 has the ability to replace the f14,15,16,and 18. and yes last i heard that they are working on a naval versian. did anyone complain when the b2 was introduced?
My facetious remarks aside Mike, the Japanese didn't miss out. The total land area of Japan and Germany is pretty close but Japan, as you said, is much more centralised because of the mountainous nature of the country. Be interested to know, Hiroshima and Nagasaki aside, the total tonnage dropped on each country.MikeD said:
Yeah comparing the Concorde engines and the F-22's engines are like comparing a carbureted Chevy 350 and a Ferrari F1 engine.valve bouncer said:
Mate I did....you guys had the B17 then the B25, the B29, B47 and the B52. I would have respected that airpline much more if it was like the B102. B2 is sending a message to the terrorists that you guys are gonna f*ck 'em over with biplanes. All that money and you can't get a calculator. SORT IT OUT AMERICAbhspec03 said:
Well there was the B1, I guess the Airforce can't count past 52 and had to roll things over.valve bouncer said:

Approximately 160000 tons of bombs were dropped on the Japanese home islands.valve bouncer said:
With the new JSF, I don't see why they are continuing with the F-22.Changleen said:

Cars are much lighter faster and efficient now than they were in the late 50's when the 52 was first penned.Silver said:

Look it up. MULTI ROLE FIGHTER, meaning exactly that. Air to air is really the F15's realm. F 16's have primarily been tasked to attack rolesDamn True said:
The man is correct... the F15 is the US's king of the sky... well, it was until the Raptor. Apparently the raptor is actually going to be replacing the Eagle. Anyone ever seen the F15 take off in under 100 yards of runway It's frikkin amazing.Zark said:
F15E Strike Eagle.......Zark said:
Using simple tonnage figures does not really tell the whole story. The physical destruction resulting from the air attack on Japan approximates that suffered by Germany, even though the tonnage of bombs dropped was far smaller. The attack was more concentrated in time, and the target areas were smaller and more vulnerable. Japan had little or no air or civil defense when compared to Germany and the B-29 was a much more effective bomber than those used in the European theatre.MikeD said:
Yeah but, the F-15 was not designed from the ground up as a strike aircraft, the F-16, F/A-18 were designed intially with strike cabablities. The F-15E is also structurally different and has a different avionics suite from the "normal" F-15........so it's not a "normal" F-15 with bombs bolted on and painted dark grey.DRB said:
