coporal_punishment 0 Posted April 21, 2003 Wow looks great but the problem is the engine can't incoporate half the features the f-22 portrays in reality. But it would be a awsome addon to bad the USAF arn't getting that many of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonder 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Remember that F22 has its weapons in internal bays instead of underwing hardpoints! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianTerror 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Are they actually using them in combat? The Super Hornet seems to be the newest combat fighter that actually went into Iraq for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Super Hornet seems to be the newest combat fighter that actually went into Iraq for example.<span id='postcolor'> I think the F-22 was being tested right around the time the cold war wrapped up to match whatever the Russians were bound to produce next. When the USSR fell, there was no real need to stick a bunch of F-22s into service, becuase the current fleet of cheaper, F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, and F-18s were completely up to snuff when it came to dealing with whatever threats remained in the world. No sense in putting a bunch of F-22's into service when the older cheaper planes we allready have are sufficient to handle a dogfight with the current fleet of russian migs. I guess now we can allways crank up the testing and start rolling them off of the assembly line when/if the need arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously the YF-16 prototype won the bid and entered production. The YF-17 was then further developed into what would become the F-18. This is why not all aircraft designations are sequential. *edit* some wrong info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nolips71 0 Posted May 21, 2003 i think they called it fighter because they wanted to scare people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acidcrash 0 Posted May 21, 2003 so im lead to believe it was sort of a decoy, to confuse the then Soviets or anyone else for that matter, though to be honest ive never actually seen an "official" reason as to its Fighter designation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
