       F-16 Super Bobcat
  HTML http://i.picresize.com/images/2016/01/26/4SyrO.jpg
       Name: F-16 Super Bobcat
       Role: Carrier Based Strike Fighter/Air Interdiction/Medium
       Bomber
       Crew: 2 (Pilot and RIO)
       Length: 20.5 m
       Wingspan: 21 m
       Height: 5.6 m
       Weight: 21,000 kg
       Max Takeoff Weight: 48,000 kg
       Powerplant: 2x DEN 216 Turbofans
       Maximum speed: Mach 2.4
       Super cruise: Mach 1.4
       Range: 4,000 km
       Ceiling: 20,000 m
       G Loading: +8.5/-4
       Armament:
       Guns: 1x 30 mm auto cannon, 600 rounds
       Hardpoints: 12, 20,000 kg
       Features:
       The F-16 Super Bobcat is the direct successor of the F-8 Bobcat
       Strike Fighter, taking the same designs and needs, and putting
       them into a newer, modern aircraft. The changes to the system
       are numerous, while the fuselage remains relatively unchanged,
       allowing the user the ability to use interchangeable parts left
       over from other aircraft.
       The F-16 has added the second newest turbofan jet engine to the
       build, giving it unparalleled acceleration and a powerful
       thrust. The sheer force of the engine opens a whole other series
       of roles, and the ability to outrun enemy fighters easily.
       Combined with the increased speed, allowing for fast super
       cruise speeds, the Super Bobcat can do much, much more than the
       Bobcat.
       Another benefit of the Super Bobcat is the increased fuel tank,
       giving the plane a longer range, and a longer loiter time,
       allowing for longer supersonic speeds. This, coupled with extra
       armor, increases the weight, but decreases chances of explosion
       or penetration by shrapnel.
       The cockpit of the F-16 has been simplified and strengthened,
       giving the pilot more room to look around, and gives a much
       better visibility. This, combined with upgraded equipment, makes
       the plane a devastating combat aircraft. However, one addition
       to the F-16 cockpit that is not present on the F-17 and F-8, is
       the addition of both manual and computer bombing sights. The
       addition of a more powerful computer, allows for the use of both
       rockets and dumb bombs to a better degree. It also allows for
       the addition of torpedoes.
       In addition to the high level IRST in the nose, the fighter
       bomber comes pre loaded with an advanced FLIR and visual camera
       system, which allows the RIO and Pilot to perform better, more
       accurate, strike. The FLIR and IRST can both be up linked to
       both the radar system, as well as the actual weapons themselves.
       The F-16's avionics features an upgraded, powerful AESA and look
       down radar system that gives it near unparalleled fighter and
       ground target tracking, but also necessitates the addition of
       the RIO. Because of it's massive power, the plane can also be
       converted into both an electronics platform, and an AEWACS with
       simple additions. For the pilot, an advanced HUD system on his
       helmet allows him to track and lock on targets, or direct radar
       or infrared tracking, with a turn of his head, giving them an
       unparalleled defense capability.
       In addition to the flares, chaff, and jam capabilities on the
       fighter bomber, the system also adds newer additions to the
       battlefield. Featured in the back of the aircraft is a
       detachable decoy, which looks exactly like the F-16 on radar.
       This decoy, which can be controlled by the RIO, feeds back
       information to the aircraft via a fiber uplink, but can also be
       detached. The plane itself can act like a decoy, with its radar
       system allowing it to not only increase its size on radar, but
       also to change its look. Both the IRST and the FLIR can detect
       missile burns, and the addition of infrared detectors on the
       aircraft, and an advanced RWR, allows the plane to detect
       incoming weapons. Finally, the system adds a newer kind of
       defense, a visual, infrared, and radar smoke screen deployer
       situated in the back of the aircraft, can discharge VIRSS
       grenades, which detonate at timed distance. The detonation of
       the VIRSS attracts the infrared missile, while the smoke itself
       contains enough chaff to disrupt radar. Finally, aircraft
       following the fighter bomber will be forced to maneuver around.
       F-17 Foxcat

       Name: F-17 Foxcat
       Role: Carrier Based Strike Fighter, MRF, ASF, Interceptor
       Crew: 2 (Pilot, RIO)
       Length: 20
       Wingspan: 20
       Height: 5.5
       Weight: 21,000 kg
       Max Takeoff Weight:  42,000 kg
       Powerplant: 2x DEN 217 Thrust Vectoring Turbofans
       Maximum speed: Mach 2.8
       Supercruise: Mach 1.6
       Range: 3,600 km
       Ceiling: 21,000 m
       G Loading: +10/-4.75
       Armament:
       Guns: 1x 20 mm Gatling cannon
       Hardpoints: 10x, 12,500 kg
       Features:
       While carrying over the additions that the F-16 brings, the F-17
       focuses on being a powerful multi role air superiority fighter,
       rather than a strike fighter. While still maintaining over
       10,000 kg of ordinance, the Foxcat can indeed perform similar
       duties. It does, however, maintain much different capabilities
       and additions.
       The hard points, while remaining the same, focus more on air to
       air, and as such cannot hold the same weight. The addition of a
       missile bay in the middle also gives a decrease in air to ground
       ordinance, while also maintaining enough space to launch cruise
       missiles. In addition to this air to air difference, the switch
       to a 20 mm rotary cannon instead of a 30 mm auto cannon lets it
       fire more rounds faster into the enemy aircraft.
       To this point, the avionics focus more on tracking enemy
       aircraft, as well as locking on. The FLIR upgrade is removed,
       and in its place, another IRST is added. While degrading the
       ability to lock onto ground targets, the IRST can lock on,
       albeit at shorter range. The powerful AESA is focused more on
       tracking air targets, and the subtraction of the powerful look
       down radar gives more space for other avionics.
       The engine itself is the top of the line, being fitted with a
       three dimensional thrust vectoring nozzle, and a more powerful
       afterburner. The super maneuverability of the fighter, however,
       is still beaten by the F-14 Super Foxhound, but is second to
       none after the aircraft.
       It does have, however, one other addition: a stealthier skin
       that features more curves, and radar absorbing material that
       reduces its radar signature. To be sure, this plane is a
       powerful addition to any carrier group.
