Why not use the F-22 to replace the F/A-18 and F-14?

I hear ya, but they expect the new explosive wad will make up the
differance, combined with penetration, speed and accuracy. The problem is
that the weapon is being driven by bay size rather than performance so who
knows if they are really just blowing smoke to have SOMETHING that works
in
the small bays, of if it really is/will be better.


Dont get me wrong here. For plinking tanks, vehicles and dugouts the
smaller bomb size is a good idea. As well as permitting an aircraft to
carry more weapons they limit collateral damage. My point was simply
that there are some targets for which you'll stay want the option of the
larger bomb.
