Spaz,

Not great links, fella. One took me to Che Guevara's shopping list and the other 'Page Not Found'. One of my favourite websites.

Henra,

You are completely right in that the example you have chosen puts the old F4 (bless her and all that flew in her) ahead. Of course, she'd have to get there first. And therein lies a tale, strangely. It's a guidance thing that may be missing from the discussion; probably better to come back to that later.

Anyway, the point you make is exactly what I've been saying about combat perfomance. If we need to go into the 50 degrees aoa and HOB weapons aiming, happy to comment. But rate/radius perfomance will always be an issue, as you imply.

It is, obviously, ridiculous to be making such a comparison.
