I suggest that at the end of every theater, every fighter/ground attack plane (not specialist equipment like radar, tankers, drones, ECM etc) we have only one of is forcefully sold by the company due to injustifiable maintenance cost (need a full ground crew just to maintain that one plane)

we can afford half a B2. We could not afford to keep it flying. would have to construct special environmentally controlled shelters at each new base.

Maybe a limited number also, especially in the longer day or two ops.

Apple can afford those insane guided shells for the Zumwalt! Perfect operator for that platform. In my mind they've altered the payload so that each of those shells is just full of old Apple products that were warehoused for recycling.

Drop our fearless mercs from high altitude with a little inflatable bote, get in said bote, drive over to Zumwalt, board her, steal. This sounds like a fully practical plan.

Personally I love having just a couple of each thing - it makes for some interesting pairings, things like "Man, X's patload would be really useful with Y's mission, but they'd have to go skow with it - or we could put X with Z over here but that's leaving very little room for error..." etc Rather than just say "All our X do this, all our Y do that mission"

Even with extensive automation it takes 140 people to crew a Zumwalt. Stealing that would not be practicable.

I just wanna keep launching Mavericks and Sidewinders at anything that moves. I like the motley crew of airframes. Requires flexibility and creativity in crafting missions, plus just the neat visual of a Hawk, a Frogfoot, a couple Mirage F.1's and AMXs in a nice formation.

It makes life easier, reflects the fact that our company is focused on profitability, and also gives us a chance to make arguments for upgrades (like swapping the German Tornadoes to a Saudi configuration). Out of curiosity how moddable is CMANO? Could you create new fighters, or make a variant with a new loadout?
