Now comes the interesting bit! There are tradeoffs between the fighters
and
the defense systems - and among the fighters themselves. That is what I
like about Jon's design of FT as a whole. There isn't one right way to
do
it. There are styles and approaches. I think that real navies and air
forces do much the same and also face trade offs.
