Erm, i am not aware of any training doctrines that spams 6
missiles at one target. First of all, each phoenix is half a mil.
Firing 24 phoenix at me, is throwing away 12 million dollars at a
$20 million dollar jet. With Assuming its a 6 v 6, I lose 1
aircraft, but the rest of ur Tomcats are now defenseless. I'd throw
the rest of my flight into afterburners and swat those tomcats out
of the sky.
Seriously speaking, only 2 missiles will be launched at 1 target,
at best, JUST to be sure. Assuming the F-14s launch at max range,
which is approximately 100 miles, at 3000mph, it gives me a whole 2
minutes to put the missile on my beam, or to hit my AB and run THE
OPPOSITE direction away from the missile.
2 minutes is a LOT of time to prepare to dodge missiles.
