Hehehe, I do realize the loadouts on the Jets are different. Basically the only thing they shared was airframe, engines, and cockpit wasn't it? Between the EA-6B and A-6 I mean. Anyways, what about the tanker version of the A-6? I forget exactly what it was designated... do they still use it?
As for the Hornet vs. Tomcat thing, can't the SuperHornets carry the Phoenix? I thought that was one of the changes supposed to be made for the SuperHornet program? Or did it not end up happening?
As for the Phoenix success rate, I knew that one. If I had to face a MiG, I'd want a Phoenix or 2, or 6... on board every day. But they do say its outdated... and that the AIM-120 AMRAAM is a better missile overall. I don't know if its true, just what I've heard.
