MSOCS, Yes, I did agree with your points, but was highlighting where I differed a bit. I think that the Air Force has the best data and sims going. What they say has to be very high acceptance in my view and they would be aware of all that is good and bad in sims. yet they doubled it from 3 to 6:1
"Media is the only real way to do this." that and buying politicians with donations
though having jurno's on the payroll doesn't hurt either.
@LO. your link said what 4th gen they sim from

"F-35 Lightning II is at least
400 percent more effective in air-to-air combat capability than
the best
fighters currently available in the international market.
The Air Force's standard air-to-air engagement analysis model, also
used by allied air forces to assess air-combat performance, pitted the 5th
generation F-35 against all advanced 4th generation fighters in a variety
of simulated scenarios. The results were clear: the F-35 outperformed the
most highly evolved fighters in aerial combat by significant margins.
"In all F-35 Program Office and U.S. Air Force air-to-air combat
effectiveness analysis to date, the F-35 enjoys a significant Combat Loss
Exchange Ratio advantage over the current and future air-to-air threats, to
include Sukhois," said Maj. Gen. Charles R. Davis, F-35 program executive
officer."
