    I'm going from Canadian perspective. We need to replace pretty munch everything,given the long lead time for ship design and construction. We had 3 Air defense destroyers and they are well past when they should have been replaced, and at that point our CPFs will be 40 years old We have a major project going, and I'm throwing desired capability for us out there for the class that we'll be building.

    So, what features would you put into an all in one design for a destroyer if that was the only ship class that your navy was going to operate? Armament: Myself: 155mm VGS from the Zumwalt, or, if enough electrical power was available, possibly the railgun that is in development. Gatling based CIWS: Probably a Phalanx or Goalkeeper. I lean towards Goalkeeper because GAU-8A. VLS Scatter Pack: Several dozen scattered Mk41 VLS equivalent or better cells scattered in various positions around the ship. Clusters of 6-12 in various places. Gives you Tomahawk/Standard and ESSM Quad packs., along with anything you can design to fit in a VLS Cell. 2 Hellfire Surface to surface mounts. Thinking like the STRV 90 in Red Dragon. MANPADS and .50 cal stations pre planned, but not always fitted. Helo Deck capable of supporting drones, and SH-60/CH-148 AEGIS level radar or better. Data link Flag capable. Anyhow, just my thoughts on what I'd like to see.

    Compare/Contrast of the US and USSR designs? Might be neat.

    Our Benevolent Forum Overlord has spoken. So let it be written, so let it be done.

    EA has been garbage for a very long time. I still hate them for what they did to the C&C franchise.

    May Day isn't that far off. The Russians and company tend to want to show off new shit at parades.

    That is a big motherfucking airplane. Holy hell. Also, sortakinda reminds me of a certain Clint Eastwood flick. Edit: is that 6 AMRAMM/sparrow types? Yikes.

    That artist impression looks almost like something the Israelis would build.

    Only one engine, and not a great one at that, as Colli already pointed out.

    Wow... Just read this. A mach 3+ disintegration and dude survived! Geeze. Totally unsurprised that the other guy broke his neck almost instantaneously. http://theaviationist.com/2015/03/17/sr-71-mid-air-disintegration/

    WTF? Ugly as fuck. I've seen that once or twice before, but yeah. Also Rockets?

    Also, I want a historical redo and instead of the CF-18, we don't cheap out and get the Tomcat or the Eagle instead. I'm a bit of an Arrow fanboy, but the main reason why I'm still angry about it is the damage it did to the Canadian aerospace industry. There is a reason why the day the arrow was cancelled is referred to as Black Friday.
  21. Belesarius
    Probably the British Lightning would have been the only real alternative.
  22. Belesarius
    The Arrow shouldn't have been cancelled and Diefenbaker should be resurrected so we can burn him at the stake as a heretic.

    A hot non-nuclear theater ballistic missile would still be a non-trivial target. Especially with a cluster type warhead that separated at altitude.
