as a communist, i am required to have idiosyncratic opinions on military hardware. and my big opinion is that using guided missiles in air combat is cheating. they are weapons relied upon by lazy pilots to accumulate cheap kills. they should be outlawed globally. learn to use a radar gunsight you lazy pricks
My crank opinion on military hardware is that anti-tank rifles could still work. The problem is just marksmanship, not terminal effect. Aim for the threads you goons.
guided missiles are just slow bullets. aim for where they're going to be in half an hour, how hard can it be
I think they should all use a giant oversized autocannons like the WW2 tank busters. No spray&pray, make your shots count
If BVR missiles weren't a thing, with proximity fuzes and radar aiming (hold the trigger down, the computer only fires when the shot will actually hit) that might actually be a very workable weapon system
artillery is always the tactically sound option in every situation.
