So, just for the sake of argument, what if you have a fighter system
that's a full generation ahead of all of the other space-craft it's up
against. Look at the F22 as an example. The Super-Bugs (F18) (gen 4.5)
F-15s and F16s (Gen 4) have all had fits trying to get them in their
gunsites, let alone shoo them down. So far as I've heard, ONE F-18 jock
managed to get a kill shot by violating the ROE for the practice
engagement which meant the F22 jock was probably trying to avoid a
collision rather than kill the F18. 

 

In this case it would seem that the F22 is head and shoulders above
everything else. At Red Flag the F22s got 144 kills with no kills on
their own side. >>

Sorry I'm on vacation and haven't been checking email.

Well to be fair, if the fighter design system I put up on the web as a
pdf, does address this.
  You can have Obsolete fighters mixing it up with Cutting Edge
Designs.  And I have played games where I’ve had 1 Squadron of 4
Large Heavy Stealth Fighters piloted by Elite Pilots, vrs 6 Squadrons of
Enemy Fighters (2 squadrons were made up of 8 Light Fighters, and have
taken out most enemy fighters.  Many without the Enemy getting a chance
to return fire.  I endup having 2 of my Elite Pilots planes being taken
out of action.  But 1 of the Pilots who survived, wrapped up 21
shootdowns in that 1 game.

So to go by your design yep the LLAR can firld their Hordes MIG 17 vrs
NAC Squadron of F-22, and the F-22 should do a # of them.
