The gun!

Believe it or not, the gun is still a really important part of a fighter jet’s loadout. Why? For each advancement to detect, there’s one to hide and so there always the chance for a visual engagement. And, maybe with the exception of the EX, you don’t have a ton of missiles.

But air to ground is where the gun has thrived the last 20 years. It’s precice, specific, and with training can be used very close to friendlies.

So give ‘em the gun!
