even without the bombers and fighters, we still have submarines with missiles that can strike and submerge
F-22's are amazing and air superiority

@PantherUnit01 indeed
yall are also forgetting another thing, China has put massive work into anti-missile and anti-bomb laser technology
> while we cant really see the B2's and the F-35's with radar splashing them from the front, radar splashing an F-35 from the rear will make it light up like a christmas tree on broadway
That's why electronic warfare aircraft would probably be sent in before anything else
> yall are also forgetting another thing, China has put massive work into anti-missile and anti-bomb laser technology
@Zilla It works, 40% of the time, it has yet to be perfected, they are copying it from Israel's Iron Dome technology
even if it only works 40% of the time, that still heavily hampers our abilities to actually bomb them
America holds the Unique advantage of being to combine the Quality and Quantity aspects of good armies, which is an advantage we need to effectively utilize to be able to fight China and hold the advantage
True
plus I'd take that 40% chance, China has poor QC
and even then, we can always use EMPs and such to disable defence systems
Screw it. Bring the P-51 back as drones and just spam them LMAO
lol
LOOOOOOOL
yes
.50 cal rain from hell incoming
also from what iv heard, the US has been testing out a P-51 look alike as a suppliment to our A-10 warthog fleets
Just make so many of them that they overwhelm air defences

@Zilla why on earth does congress want to get rid of the A-10 anyway?

@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty Supposedly because its too expensive to maintain
hmm
@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty because no more are being made due to the original creators filing for bankruptcy in 2002 and they are becoming every more expensive to maintain because of that
we cant just make something that does just as well but cheaper?
It flies *slower* than WW2 fighters. And it can only take so much punishment.
ah i see
> we cant just make something that does just as well but cheaper?
@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty There's the F-16XL/F-21 and the F-15E
normally if it were at a actual production rate, the A-10 would be very cheap to repair because its design is very simple, but because it is no longer in production its just becoming more and more expensive
huh
damn
They're supposedly getting new wings
probably upgrading them for better load capacity for anti-ground weapons
I also heard that there were supposed to recieve the YA-10B Blackout Upgrade which made them stealth
It also can carry only the Maverick AGM missile. And nothing else
we most likely wont see most of the upgrades come to them till 2030 as well
I hope the YA-10B is real, we got the concept for it in Ace Combat 5 and Arma 3
i see until we get them we'll have to rely on good'ole naval firepower then
That being said I do expect a major overhaul of a majority of the fleet that won't be scrapped. Or retired
Oh that reminds me
the A-10's can carry more than Maverick's, they can carry a host of Rockets, Gun Pods, and JDaM 1,000 pound bombs
