Forum: General F-22A Raptor forum

F-15 was at first not allowed for export but only later to Israel and no one else. Saudi Arabia and Japan were only granted clearance later. The F-22 is still highly classifieds, the Congress will be reluctant to sell when it is still new. Probably only later when PAK-FA T-50 and J-20 are confirmed stealth capable posing serious threat to US allies. .

Will Syria spend everything they have to rake in whatever latest weapons together with spares parts + packages Russia have before the arms embargo is imposed? During emergency, rather than waiting for the factory to manufacture the ordered weapons, Russia is willing to sell existing used Su-27/30/34 with R-73/77/27 in their Air Force inventory. The same goes to Army and Navy. War is bad but in fact it does help in science and technology advancement if latest weapons are deployed. We'll surely see F-22 vs Su-30MK should Syria goes to war. The S-300 batteries, the Tomahawks and other stand off missiles would do the jobs. Pantsirs will be reserved for fighters and AH-64s. Syria will have to hide everything underground to survive long range missiles attack. They must park their Flankers underground in secret bases with special access to surface airfields (that don't look like airfield but flat land) and not airbase based on Iraqis war experts that had battered by Americans.

Jay, in your post on cancellation you were suggesting that LM had a heads tart, now you suggest they were late to the game? Which is it?

the f22 is good very good i have flown it in ace combat when i can. ive shot down more planes with it than other planes eg ef2000 coming second in planes shot down with it.but the f35b in the game is absolute crap at air to air and not much better at a2g the sidewinders are not internal only internal weapon are guided penetration bomb.the rest on pylons under the wings. the f35 is meant to be a gen 5 plane yes but i cannot understand why it only has one internal weapons bay.was it design flaw. the raptor would be a better buy than the f35b at any rate.

Guess what: Ace Combat is not a realistic combat simulator. Even the better, older, games completely lacked BVR combat or any realistic treatment of stealth. Even more humorous, the F-35 is the only plane that would be anything like as easy to fly as the generic fighter in the game -- or give you the kind or situational awareness the gave gives you.
I won't even go into the piece of crap that is the most recent AC game.
