I might start this soon. A couple current projects are almost done then I'm back to what i do best! Modern US Jets!

Modern Jet one?

Sure! I'll start it on April 30th,ok? I'm currently in in the Naval Aviation GB

Your Jaguar and Harrier both work for the GB
 1 April 2014, 00:29
B Author
Both,I'll make it from 1970-2014. They were both made in late 1969,but I'll accept them.

Not the one you have,but the USMC is using this: en.wikipedia.org/wik..las_AV-8B_Harrier_II the RAF is slowly phasing to F-35s though.

Hmm,well the F-35 completed all sea trials. So maybe in the next 10-20 years the USMC/USN will get them. The USAF hasn't done anything that I know of with them yet. They're going to replace the F-18,F-15,A-10,and the last of the Harriers,and the F-16

All are being replaced by the F-35,it's a 5th generation fighter. As of now,it's the most advanced fighter in the world.

I do think Lockheed did come up with the design. I know they had parts made by other companies, sometimes foreign, some domestic.
 1 April 2014, 02:08
B Author
America did,it's made by Lockheed Martin. All the stuff you're talking about,like weaknesses,is all kept top secret until the aircraft is decomed.
 1 April 2014, 02:09
Mike Goldberg
Even then... Most secrets about the aircraft will be kept under wraps until it's come of age much like the Mustang considering how advanced the tech is.
 1 April 2014, 02:11
B Author
Well,we're going to sell it to most of our closest ally's. Like Britain,Germany,and Canada.
 1 April 2014, 02:14
Mike Goldberg
Well the A-10's weakness is probably age and avionics... don't see much else... Remember it's designed to fly with half the plane missing (figure of speech of course). And we have sold 35 JSF's to other countries like Korea, Japan, Israel... F-14 we don't need to worry about the weakness' because they were all decommed in 2006.
 1 April 2014, 02:15
B Author
Yup we do....I think there's a few British Abrams,MRAPs and Bradley fighting vehicles.
 1 April 2014, 02:17
Mike Goldberg
We've sold Abrams to other countries. South Korea comes to mind right now but I forgot the others. HMMWV's are sold to many, many countries. Whatever vehicle we make, we have contracts with other countries to sell to. Iran ordered up to 80 F-14 Tomcat's in the '70's and up to 714 AIM-54 Phoenix's.
 1 April 2014, 02:17
B Author
We've sold pretty much everything government related,except the Space Shuttle....
 1 April 2014, 02:19
Mike Goldberg
Along with those 'Cats they got 10 years worth of replacement parts.
 1 April 2014, 02:21
Mike Goldberg
Nothing. As of yet. We need to make money off the government contracts somehow.
 1 April 2014, 02:23
B Author
We need to pay the 1.32 trillion debt to China somehow...
 1 April 2014, 02:24
Mike Goldberg
And the AC-130, Brandon. We haven't sold those yet.
 1 April 2014, 02:25
B Author
I don't think we will,those can F*** up your day and they're getting decomed soon I think.
 1 April 2014, 02:26
B Author
Haha,no.
I think this is how we should do it. First have USN DEVGRU silently kill Kim Jong-Un. (North Korea is close ally's with China) Once he's gone a US military outpost can be set up and NK will slowly fall. Then somehow destroy Russia,it might resort to Nuclear Warheads...just turning Russia into no-mans land. Once Russia is gone,China won't have any allys that'll protect them (they're all scared of us) then invade China somehow...Nuclear weapons is once again an option. If there is no China there is no debt.
 1 April 2014, 02:32
Mike Goldberg
We have sold almost all versions of the C-130 except the Spectre's. And I don't think the AC-130's are being decommed anytime soon. The loiter time, firepower, and accuracy of that weapons system makes it too valuable an asset to stuff away just yet. And no, Hunter, it would not be easier to take over China. Lol. It'd be another Vietnam... but worse.

You read mine above yours Mike?
 1 April 2014, 02:34
Mike Goldberg
No, I didn't. I didn't reload the page after I posted. I went to a different page.
 1 April 2014, 02:36
Mike Goldberg
I think what we would more likely do: First is that stuff with North Korea. Instead of just setting up an outpost there, fully invade NK. Make one unified Korea, then invade Laos or Cambodia. Make a deal with Vietnam that if they don't interfere, we'll leave them alone (they don't do anything anyway). Then, we could invade China. Then we start on Russia. If they try to interfere we send Delta or DEVGRU with Ranger's support and capture Putin and hide him away where no one will find him. Then we invade Russia and go from there.

Hmm... Hope I didn't just kill the conversation.
 1 April 2014, 02:45

I can tell you've been thinking about this! 😛
 1 April 2014, 02:46
Mike Goldberg
Not really. Just spur of the moment.
 1 April 2014, 02:48
B Author
Oh...ok lol. But I think your idea would work,
 1 April 2014, 02:49
Mike Goldberg
Lol. Now if only they'd work in Axis and Allies...
 1 April 2014, 02:51
B Author
Or a Ballistic missile sub can sit in one spot and launch warheads. Then it'll be all over in less than a day.
 1 April 2014, 02:51
Mike Goldberg
Not really. You have to factor in counter strike capabilities. The Russians have Boomers too. The North Koreans... Well... They're working on a missle... The Chinese might have missles though. You also don't really want to cause too much in the way of collateral damage, ie.: civilians and non military targets. Thats where Tomahawks and other cruise missles and "smart" weaponry come into play. You want to cause the most amount of destruction with the least amount of civilian casualties.

So say if we invaded china and made it ours,what would we do with the billion citizens there?
 1 April 2014, 02:55
Mike Goldberg
Nothing we can do. Against the Geneva Convention and Human Rights to commit mass genocide or to purposely displace them for no apparent reason.
 1 April 2014, 02:56
B Author
So there'd just be a lot more Chinese-Americans?
 1 April 2014, 02:58
Mike Goldberg
Well, it depends. Do we annex the country, or install a new government as we did with Japan after World War II.
 1 April 2014, 02:59
B Author
Do we need a billion more citizens though?
 1 April 2014, 03:00
Mike Goldberg
Thats the "depends" part. But this won't happen anytime soon so we have nothing to worry about.
 1 April 2014, 03:01
B Author
Lol. I actually hope not...
 1 April 2014, 03:04
Mike Goldberg
Yep.
