Happy to admit that I have never been AD, but I am aware of simple physics.
The worry is that the F3 folks think that AD is something to do with shadowing. Since that is all the F3 has ever done, I suppose it's natural that you have forgotten what it is actually for.
Killing from 20K below is a mite trickier, what with physics playing their part.
Never fight from the bottom of a hill. It has been true since neanderthal times, and is still true.
Go on, somebody tell me again that it is better than an F22 or F15.
No one is trying to say that it out-turns an F22 or F15, you mong! The point others are trying to make is that a good (eventually, massive teething issues notwithstanding) weapons system made it possible for you to enter a fight with more SA than the other guy, and SA is the difference between winning and losing in a fight...
And you obviously don't know simple physics if you don't think you could get a kill from 20k below the other guy! Its certainly more difficult, but is possible. Best you retire to a Cockers P and reminisce about when the FAA had aircraft
