shouldn't teaboos really focus more on getting a decent carrier before worrying about lazorz and shit?

Like, get with the 20th century before you try to get with the 21st.

I'm sure thats covered with the two supercarriers that are getting built, champ. Maybe you didn't hear of them.

What name would you give SPEAR 3 when it enters service?

Details.

>>30081291

I'd keep the SPEAR name.

I'm not a fan of the Sea Cat/Sea Dart/Sea ceptor. Just call the damn things what they are!

>>30081561
It's a program name, not the manufacturer's name or anything.

Paveway IV is SPEAR 1, and Brimstone is SPEAR 2.

This also isn't headed by the RN so it won't have a Sea prefix.

Well it's basically Brimstone's big brother, it can do all the same swarm attacks, and automatic target recognition, just from 140km away and with a much larger warhead.

So a similar name works, let's call it Hellfi-

Wait.

Shit.

What's the deal with how many SPEAR programs there are? SPEAR 3 just seems like a brimstone with more range

>>30082937
Anyone have that Brimstone-swarm webm laying around? Where you have a Tornado volley-firing the shit out of like 8 of them?

They're carriers and they're not bad. But they're not super carriers.

They're supercarriers. Sorry champ.

You keep believing that, if it makes you feel better, 'champ'.

>Supercarrier is an unofficial descriptive term for the largest type of aircraft carrier, typically those displacing over 70,000 tons (64,000 metric tons).[1] Supercarriers are the largest warships ever built, larger than the largest battleship class laid down by any country.

Hmmmm

>>30084893
Find me a definition of a supercarrier that excludes the QE class, friend.

>>30084024

It's a Brimstone with more than double the range, twice the size of munition/warhead and a turbojet strapped to the thing.

Think of them as Brimstone if every missile in the swarm was replaced with a mini cruise missile.

Spear will be amazing. SEAD via swarm attack.
