How effective would AMRAAMs be against a WWII "small one manned fighter" considered to be of no threat to the technological terror of an F-22?



AMRAAMS are radar based I believe, so I expect that they would be very effective against WW2 era aircraft.

No on the F22, but a BIG +1 on the F-14, the A-6 and the F-8!!!  It's well known that these 3 planes were at Pearl. :x

The gospel documentation was provided by Soulyss. :rock


While I can't support this wish on account of the F-22 seeing no service in WW2, I did do some careful research and discovered some documentary footage.

It turns out that F-14's were in fact in service on December 7th, 1941 and saw combat against the IJN.

No need to shoot it down, just let it fly for an hour. What is it something like 35 hours maintenance for every hour of flight?
