Hmm what's Flag Officer again? Do I tend to the flag? Do I wash the flag?
MidnightDave
2004-02-17, 12:21 AM
im not much on navy terminology but if I remember correctly the flag officer is the highest ranking officer on a boat, no real power, but a cool title, its like an admiral.

who said it was your boat octavian, im the captain, your a title head, no more lol.
France is first that might take about 20 min? mabye 30, depenends on if we stop to eat.
Then, we shall have to see. oh, I know, we will set up a seige on valve hq and get the hl2 game, then we do a bombing run on fox hq to stop the bad shows. '
Then we can go to sony and get them to fix all the bugs we want and add the features we want by gunpoint.

Who the hell pays 100 million for an obsolete bomber? The Australian airforce can't give those things away to someone who won't fly it into a building.
MidnightDave
2004-02-17, 03:54 AM
the 999999999 stuff aint real, the price is 9mil fully assembled and who said the f/a 18 is obsolete, u wanna try and fly against it?
Octavian

Our military seems to like giving away things. Maybe our soldiers are just too good.

I would kick its' ass in Spitfire. :p
Obsolete is wrong, it is an ageing design that has been replaced by better models. It is an F/A-18A, it is fucking old, like 1980?
Octavian
2004-02-17, 04:30 AM
Our F-18's were good enough even back then.
Everay
2004-02-17, 04:49 AM
thyre still good! shit, the b52 has been in service how long? like 60 years now. infact, the f/a18 is being upgraded right now, to the F/A18 E super hornet. its a good plane, it is larger than the original, more manuverable, faster, bigger bomb load, ect ect.
Octavian
2004-02-17, 04:51 AM
Yeah so your Spitfire's suck.

Keep watching our Ebay store, we will have a "never Demilled" F-16 Hornet coming to an Ebay auction near you.

That's what I mean though, the F/A-18A and B was out of date before the Gulf War. They were already replaced by the C and D with better electronics and ordnance, capable of flying night missions effectively and during poor weather whilst delivering a better, broader range of weapons. The E and F models are virtually completely different to the original A and B models. They are larger (carry more fuel = longer range), have 2 additional weapons stations, vastly superior electronics and GUI and a new model engine (better thrust, can carry more weight = deals more death, faster than ever before). They share alot of commonality with the C and D models in avionics and software, but with the A and B, very little besides looking similar. It is like comparing Windows 3.11 with XP.
The B-52H and F/A-18's are used in different ways. The B-52H is still effective at it's job (since it also incorporates all the modern targetting and GUI technology), which is delivering long range bomb runnings from high altitude on specific targets. It can fly over 10k km before needing to refuel which can be done in the air. A B-52H is so fucking huge and powerful already that the only concern is having enough room for your bombs, navigational and targetting equipment weight is almost irrelevant when it can carry 140 tonnes of shit in it. An F/A-18A can't effectively execute a night mission. It is designed for fast strikes, air to air close or deep support and flying escort. It needs to be able to kill other planes and deliver a small payload and evade AA, the versatility and durability comes through having better technology than the other guy. The F/A-18A doesn't cut it when compared to the newer models.
I am just talking about the plane listed on eBay, the F/A-18A, it was bombing Libya when I was 4 years old almost 2 decades ago and has long since been replaced by better models.
