P-51 Mustang VS. F-22 Raptor

Surely we've all seen Iron Eagle 4, and know that modern aircraft are severely outclassed by older WWII era aircraft?

(Oh, sorry - Iron Eagle 3, not 4. I only saw the first one, so you'll have to forgive me. And I guess that answers the "surely we've all seen Iron Eagle 4" portion of the question :redf: :icon_lol: )
 
Anybody remember Chuck Yeager's Air Combat for the PC?
Used to pit F-4 vs. P-51 and vice versa.
I'd set it for guns v guns and as anything can turn inside a Phantom, the Mustang held its own against the AI F-4.
None of this is really relevant but I saw an earlier post about getting back to FSX and this was the closest I could get...
 
No matter the cost in 1945, or now. WE, as "the people" who pay for all this firepower (modern technology) have gone broke from all the glory. Look around

I wonder how a Raptor would do against 7530 Mustangs.

Well the F-22 only carries 480 rounds for the M61 and possibly a total of 16 Sidewinders/AMRAAMs. Even if the Raptor has no misses, thats still 7034 Mustangs left, minimum. That's 42,204 M2s still to worry about and with numbers like that, that Raptor would be wise to head for home. If it does stay, chances are pretty good that a few Mustangs would hit their mark, but also a lot of blue on blue seems likely to result from this.

lol yep and you would then send the left over 7000 mustangs to go strafe and bomb the hell out of the F-22's airbase and attack it while it is landing. :salute:
 
Haha imagine getting 7000+ Mustangs in the air at once...:mixedsmi:

They also went from Pursuit aircraft to Fighter aircraft. You have to chase an airplane before you can fight it..

It certainly would be pursuit as far the Mustang is concerned it would never catch a F-22....now how many SE-5a's could you buy at the cost of 7000 Mustangs?
