Surely any assessment of loss exchange ratios in the 2015-2020 timeframe is a fairly pointless exercise - for an aircraft that won't be in service by then!
You'd better flick an email to the USMC..they think they are going IOC in 2015
Also remember we went through all the simulation stuff a couple of weeks ago and you admitted to not understanding it then, so let's not go there again.
That was when you said you have no idea about the f-35 sims ..wasn't it?
Paraphasing Bentley..... Trying to speculate on something that you do not fully understand is based on false assumptions and false ground rules. If you go in with false assumptions and false ground rules, you will get false answers
"Air Cdre Bentley : If I can talk to simulations, and then Gary can—he probably talks best to simulations—I would say this. You can only truly represent what the F35 is capable of and what other fifth generation and other fourth generation aeroplanes are capable of when you have all of the classified information. Trying to simulate something that you do not fully understand is based on false assumptions and false ground rules. If you go in with false assumptions and false ground rules, you will get false answers."
