Fair enough, if you put it that way.... but it seems a fairly arbitrary way of working out combat effectiveness.
I suppose I just bit because there still seem to be people around who think that the Sea Jet was some sort of miracle aircraft. IMHO it was a mediocre airframe modified from a CAS platform because it was the only thing we could still have flown from a through-deck cruiser after the real carriers went. It succeeded because of the sheer quality of the crews, good training and tactics, and SOME good kit.
However, if we'd still had the carriers when the Falklands broke out and could have used Phantoms, I bet they would have kicked seven bells out of the Mirages and Super Etendards - but of course that wouldn't make them any better, cos they built thousands of Phantoms.......
