So---instead of jumping on me---tell him---create a scenario and a condition---and if you want to jump in---please do---create a scene---and explain how it would work---and not a one liner---.
If I had to jump, you would have felt despite your illogical takes on the PAF as well as this Gun thing. Let me assure you that I don't want to create history merely of jumping on someone. You have learnt a lot of books and there are guys that burn their bottoms in the hot seat for hours per day.
I only meant to say that respect the opinion and their is no barring for disagreement. Keep it civil and avoid name callings or taking jibes at others or even taking a dig on personal level. This is all what means worthy for discussion or even create a scenario.
Getting on Six means where an AC has the chance to have a gun lock on adversary and it doesn't mean to be flying straight on the six of front AC while being totally clueless of situation or getting hit by BVR coming in from unknown side.
Staffing still has value as you are quoting Taliban with no SA Missile/Equipment. No one knows when the need arrives. In the military, being 100% sure means there is a possible shocker waiting for you at the point of face-off hence, never go in being so sure which may turn out to be unpleasant and nothing could be done except of pity. As I said, having a dagger still has sense of security despite having an AK with & a GLock in holster.
The scenario can still arrive as none is sure and above all, it still gives a sense of security to the jokey knowing that he has a dagger in-case if it comes to knife fight. A psychological scenario holds the same worth to have the gun on AC as similar to its use as the last resort. There is a scenario that both runs out of Missiles by any mean. 4 V/s 4 ship got into BVR..not everyone takes the first hit or not everyone can dodge the first one (pilot skills) and then, in short, time comes when one from each side comes face to face and there is nothing on the wing to throw nor has the time to return safely. Will you prefer your back being sliced with many knife cuts because you didn't have one on that time to try it out? and how about your adversary does know that after all missiles, you have nothing to fight and he has 500 rounds to make you look like a fishing net?
The planner does know very well and is aware that there can be added an extra pylon for POD but there are calculations in work whether two under chin pylons can be added at once or not? whether gun be compromised for under chin BVR mounting only? what if there are limitations at the moment where both intakes can't be installed with two BVR mountings? what if only single under chin mounting is available and the guy who has to risk his life will have to chose otherwise? how do you adjust aerodynamics in regard to center line pylon of BVR along with 2 on each side under intakes? how much a fuel cell will carry in regard replacing cannon as compare to fuel tank on center line having only 2 BVRs? will please enlighten us the complexity of a pylon to hold BVR as compare to under intake gun mounting? is it like that easy as an android to command my AC to look after weapon sequence to shoot in-case of 5 BVRs and also treat extra 2 BVRs pylons under both intakes on each side? is that easy to edit software & update command & control computer like this?
You are asking about something which may or may not affect the battle scenario and I am merely looking at root level whether it can be done in the first place or not and then I will compromise in lieu of energy, time & cost. There are always limits to arm one to the teeth like this and that is the natural course of mathematics/ calculations/system/aerodynamics etc so before breaking those boundaries, I must check onto every existing possibility from every angle including the battle scenario to avoid loss of time, energy & money.
I am asking these questions so that in-case of anything worth of a value than existing setup being unknown for PAF leadership/Thunder designers comes up; I am pretty sure the message will reach by any means and it will be a win win for all of us. You reveals/suggests/invent something of more & greater value than what the designers have done so far and that will help in many ways to strengthen a strategic weapon of our own.
Before calling others traitors, stupids, idiots, BShers, treachery practices, clueless uniform walas etc etc; let's just realize that there are other genius minds and does know the difference between wish & theory as compare to reality & limitations. You want to push for more & make the bird more stronger & able enough but on the same time, your good intend becomes worthless when you start to disrespect the opposing opinion and provokes others to reply in kind and then, demoralize them further.
