A Falklands scenario becomes very interesting when a T45 is added. Two T45 positioned along the threat axis between Rio Grande, Rio Gallegos and Santa Cruz would make the transit from Argentina impossible without AAR (which is a rare commodity in Argentina today). Another T45 stationed of the northern coast of East Falklands could control all air movements in and out of Stanley and presumably a captured MPA. With ASaC support, you could achieve complete air dominance in an AOA even without fighter defence. I'm not suggesting that should be done of course, but it does mean that CVF's airgroup could be used for fleet defence and in an offensive mode against key military targets in Argentina supported by TacToms flying through certain windows in the Casa Rosada, airforce and Navy HQs in BA.
