The past is a foreign country.
Who would win?
This is a thread meant to discuss people/nations/animals pitted against each other.
First topic, who do you think would win in a war between US and UK vs Russia and China?
Rules for this battle
1. No nukes
2. no other countries can help militarily in anyway
3. They start with current resources, military, economy etc
4. war is won whenever the other side surrenders

You're right, if more soldiers die there would be less unemployment because you'd have to hire people to replace them.

very sad indeed, especially when every single aircraft there, is superior to the F-35, in every single wayPablo22510 wrote:

The idea of making an Aircraft, for all 3 branches was stupid, the marines like the STOVL, and the navy want normal carrier based aircraft, all diverting from the Air force requirements. Rubbish idea, Really is,

The Marines only want STOVL because they have dreams of having CAS planes that can support them with the landing area the same size as one for a helicopter.oceanhawk wrote:

Nah, it was before that, since WWII when they got slaughtered in the Pacific. That is why they bought the Harrier. They couldn't use it the way they wanted to though because dirt would jam the engines.oceanhawk wrote:

They didnt really get slaughtered in the pacific, I think they actually had the biggest K/D ratio of the war.Quasi-duck wrote:

No, one landing, they were shot to pieces and couldn't get CAS on the line.oceanhawk wrote:

Of course they had a high K/D, all you need to say is "Tenno Heika Banzai".

Im not following here, they couldnt get CAS on the line, because the aircraft were not VTOL?Quasi-duck wrote:

No, the Navy couldn't provide 'em so they wanted their own VTOL CAS aircraft.oceanhawk wrote:

Marines wanted an aircraft that could take off and land anywhere, will giving CAS like Navy aircraft.

Alri I get ya know, but sure the navy was already provinding CAS in that region, during the war..Quasi-duck wrote:

Which one? 'Cos although they might have taken some heavy casualties at Iwo Jima, they still had the highest K/D ratio of the war, and they had some major successes.Quasi-duck wrote:

I actually forgot the name of the battle, all I know is that they were slaughtered on the beaches with no CAS. Ring a bell?Pablo22510 wrote:
