Typhoon cannot land on a ship and needs host nation support and prepared runways....that's my point.
I am sure the Light Blue thought that the F3 was better than the Phantom! The F3 was faster, had longer range etc than the FA2, but got waxed every time. The Rafale was more manouevrable (SP?) than the FA2, longer range, payload etc, but still got waxed.
The Typhoon will be better than Dave B/C but the Dave C will still wax it!
