Historically multiple ability fighters have fallen to
"jack of all trades, master of none" syndrome (eg the
F-111 was going to replace every other USAF and USN
fighter and fighter bomber). Our rather brief history
of spaceships suggests the same: the shuttle was
meant to replace everything, and instead doesn't do
anything particularly well.

 

Yes, but you are not mentioning the successful mutli-role fighter.bomber. The FA-18 Hornet and Super Hornet. Also the F-16 Faclon performed Fighter and light bombing missions. The F-14 Tomcat pefromed as both Strike Fighter and Interceptor to protect the carrier and fleet.

 

I have already been toying with multiability fighter in games and even prosented Jon with the idea of it.Even offered it to everyone here
