Surprised they’re using the Maverick E. Collateral damage must be a non-issue for that sortie.

That still doesn’t explain why he thinks the Raptors numbers have ANYTHING to do with communications between different platforms. Real world? Are you retarded? No amount of numbers, nor wherever im “objecting” from, have anything to do with this. A million F-22s or ten, this upgrade would still be a necessity.

Tell me you’re kidding.

Eh. They could’ve built a million. In this situation it wouldn’t have done any good. This isn’t even a problem. The F-22 from the get-go was going to have one-way communications to negate emission transmissions that are detectable. More F-22s wouldn’t have changed that. You’d simply have more aircraft to bring up to a…

Quit being a poser.

Let gun folks talk about guns.

Rofl. Don’t cut your self with all of that pretentious edginess.

Um what?

I burned ‘em. They taste like shit ;)

First of all, penetrating just one deck, regardless of casualties, is a MASSIVE deal. Fire is the biggest killer of warships in combat, followed by flooding, followed by a catastrophic event. Capital ships have been sunk by a single bomb or shell starting uncontrollable fires, even if the strike itself wasn’t…

You literally just added together multiple decks to try and support your retardation. I very obviously mean the fucking deck. Ya know, the part that would separate a falling bomb from any part of the interior. A munition doesn’t have to penetrate ALL the decks your worthless shit stain. It only needs to penetrate one.…

Hell yes there is.

You’re ridiculously out of your depth. Instead of acknowledging that you’re trying to tell everyone else how they’re wrong. A few of the guys you’re telling how ‘wrong’ they are are long-time USN vets.

You couldn’t possibly be more clueless. Just curious, which branch did you serve with or is this all the result of too much internet spitballing?

All “run of the mill pilots” ARE officers.

Sir, you have no clue what the fuck you’re talking about. My best officers were guys that were prior enlisted. Some of the worst were guys like you, typically ring-knockers, that actually believe the shit that came out of their mouth. A good officer will have his guy’s love and support, regardless. If you don’t have…

You really are quite the shitbag troll.

You need a few more dozen stars (but are unlikely to get it because of amateur idiots hanging off of Tyler’s coat-tails).

That would be a good idea. The F-35 has taken a pounding for its procurement and budget issues. The aircraft itself is fine. If you want to placate a bunch of know nothings on a Gawker owned blog, by into jumbos narrative.

I just used it because both sides were covered.
