Bro we can't make fun of them anymore. We reacquired an older carrier with a ramp.

What's the heaviest aircraft they can launch with a ramp?
Liam Campbell
alright, some /k/ faggot pls explain what's the joke here? what's wrong with a carrier with a ramp?
Ethan Harris
The joke is that carriers with ramps are compensating while flat deck carriers like US ones have catapults which allow them to launch heavier aircraft with more ordinance. However, catapults are expensive and complex piece of equipment, so most opt for ski-jump.
Nolan Bell
I don't care about the Ramp vs CATOBAR debate, but being non-nuclear propelled is a real bummer.
Juan Williams
A ramp limits both the type of aircraft you can launch, and also limits both the loadout (What weapons and other utilities) of the jets, and the amount of fuel jets can launch with.

American planes too fat to take off unassisted
Justin Ward
>American planes too fat to take off unassisted
do you think this is a legitimate argument?
Hunter Ross
Fun fact, many years ago there was a project for a carrier based Super Tucano, but the Navy didn't wanted in favor of modernizing the A4's.

Whata your opinion about flat earthers societies?

god i love your sexy french ass and your rampless nuclear carriers

A little lesson of physics :
Thrust-to-weight ratio
Rafale 0.98
F-35 0.87
F-18 0.96
SU-33 0.84
So, in reality, the Russian ones are fattest than the USA ones.
And of course the Rafale M is pretty good because it's a smaller aircraft with good engines.

you need to consider pilot weight

It always makes me uncomfortable to see the planes so close of the edge of the deck. What if there's a sudden wave tilting the boat ?
Ryan Bennett
>What if there's a sudden wave tilting the boat ?
it's a fucking 2 million pound boat and jets have brakes so that they don't just roll away
it happens, but only in extreme weather - which aircraft carriers avoid
Jace Hall

Isaiah Bennett
>which aircraft carriers avoid
do they do that naturally or only when they are in capitivity?
Liam Foster
I wish we had a proper carrier
Jaxon Ward
only when theyre in captivity. tamed by the trumpster himself and thrown into the frothy wave
Charles Parker
fat
Robert Ward
But honestly, why keep fighting when you have a nice Rafale in the thread ?

Three fuel tanks.
Not look very good imo.
Wyatt Torres
it is cheaper, there are barely 20 countries with carriers so who cares, ours is just a bigger Landing Helicopter Dock with a ramp
Benjamin Stewart
Xavier Collins
armaments and fuel are heavy, and a plane with a full battle load may not be able to gain enough velocity to takeoff with the ramp alone
Nolan Hill
It looks like shit. And gay. Gay shit.
Ryder Ortiz
Thats fucking nasty lol
Hunter Kelly
What's the point of aircraft carriers when one cheap Russian missile any third world nation could buy can take one out? It's not the 1980s anymore.
Luis Jackson
Project power far away from your borders.
Ayden Wood
cute
Hunter Collins
Based and Ramppilled
So you can carry airplanes around, dumbass. May as well say whats the point of a mailbox if an angry moose can take one out. Its not that fucking deep.
