re: #525 Gus 802

That’s a good theory though. In a long battle of attrition in a prolonged war sometimes sheer numbers and simplicity are better. Hence the Sherman tanks vs. the German Tigers in WWII. Or look at the grief the Mig-17s caused us in Vietnam prior to ACM schools like Top Gun.

What we want is a T-34 of planes, solid, reliable, and you can fly it right off the assembly line into battle without even needing to give it a paint job!
