@Azulafeetlover@Helldivers_NOW Remarkably effective in its lethality, which is also its primary weakness. I only ever dare bring it when I know I have open spaces, and a LOT of chaff to deal with, like bugs and voteless.
@corafortin The answer is simple in enough in our roots: "An Englishman's home is his castle".
You break into my house, I give zero fucks why you are there, you getting the universal warning, and nothing more: https://t.co/vpWDvSH0ob
@sabamaliktmhg "I do desire that we were better strangers." You can thank Shakespeare for that one.
Also "You are more foul than all the worms in the nile."
In a stand up fight of purely the air platform vs.
Hornet comes in a win. It's more agile and has far more system, that are more capable than the old Tomcat.
In an attrition war... Hornet still wins. The Tomcat was primarily built as a "Fleet Defender", which was the navy's term for interceptor role. While it could do *more* with modern systems, it still was designed for one job. The Hornet's more flexible mission systems, profile, weapons and so on, allows it to engage many more targets in a given combat area, *per airframe* vs the Tomcat.
Finally: Maintenance. Lets face it, as cool as those wings are, the Tommy is a hanger princess in many respects vs the Hornet. Lots more moving parts on those wings (especially the hinged hardpoints) than on the Hornet.
All that said. The Tomcat is still a very iconic aircraft that will be beloved by many, despite her days in the skies long over (at least for combat).
@ApexSeeker_ Typically we use a fork, roll the noodles around the fork and then slide it into mouth. Slurping sometimes happens but it can be seen as rude in some areas of the states, especially at fancy restaurants.
