>>64831641Or you could just get an awacs
>>64831641>You need dozens of planes all tracking the enemy plane to offer sufficient targeting data for the BVR missile??? no?
>>64831641>You need dozens of planes all tracking the enemy plane to offer sufficient targeting data for the BVR missileNo, a standard flight of 4 will have no problems.>they cost a arm and a leg each and are extremely hard to manufactureYes, planes are expensive with a Boeing 777 costing ~3 F-35s.>they lose fuel since both target manueverr to stay away so it wont reach the target fast enoughYou mean turning cold when you think the enemy has fired? Yeah doing defensive is the smart move and everyone will do it if they know / think they have been fired on.>after the first volley of long range BVR missiles are gonne its just gonna be dog fighting all over againIf we see 50 v 50 air battles some will close to WVR but it will be after several vollies and there will likely still be 4th gen missile trucks like the F-15 throwing missile BRV into the furball.
