Now you totaly missinturped me. I never ment anything personal or that i would like to challenge you. I merely pointed out that i've never seen thread of that kind. of those silly comparison threads...i've been mod in sinodefence forum for half year now and thrust me there has been lots of them (like J-11 vs. Su-27, or J-10 vs F-16, or the faforite of all FC-1 vs. LCA). Nowadays i simply deletes them if they appera becouse they are at the end very silly and pointless.Looking to debate Gollevainen? Im going to call your bluff here
Where are those silly chinese comparisions?. If you found them give me their links and lets see if their silly or not
Again i never called any depate, just wondered aloud why no one else have done it. I'm no aircraft design expert and therefore i wont going to jump in pointless argument becouse i simply don't have much to said on the matter.You said
"For me, the FC-1 has always looked and appeared to be very similar with the Taiwanese IDF. I'm not saying that those two planes are identical, just that they have some similar features"
And
"Well it's my lay obinion (i did say "to my EYES")"
Where was performance mentioned there. It looks like your trying to compare them visually to me and i would imagine the structure of the comment to a lot of other people?. Or you going to change your statement half way? John kerry Sir?
You are right, tough in chinas case (by meaning that becouse my experiences limits to china, i'm sure all others behaive as well) every comparison thread were one of the side is chinese plane tend to be very nationalistic and therefore, like i said very silly.But in most forums this topic is banned because it insights nationalism.
eg. FC-1 vs LCA - Rafale vs EF - MFI vs F-22 - Tu-160 vs B-1
So forget the evident grunch against me and let us all enjoy posting here without any stress...ok?
