Try to use this alternate link, on my end everything works fine, sometimes after one or two retries.

Okay some suggestions on RC 0.4

US Army:
Is there even a plausible need for the Strkyer? Suggest you delete it from the US Army OBAT for RC 0.5, because what's the point of it when you have the M-8 Buford AGS in service; and there's no mania for a lightweight combat team?

Remember. ****shenski kept harping on about how the "cold war legacy force" was obsolete and so we needed a mobile "objective interim force" to replace it....with the cold war still going on in 1999 and 20007; will Shinkenski ever get such idiot ideas?

-----------

All M163A2 Vulcans (Unit 208) would have long been retired before 2007; and replaced with Bradley Linebackers.

-------------

LOSAT would have entered service on Humvees and on LOSAT Bradley.

-------

USAF B-52s most likely would have been selectively retired beginning in the 2000s with a full production run of 132 B-2s (and perhaps more); making the B-2 a cheaper unit in terms of picklist cost

-------------

The USAF F-22; hmm, I'm assuming it IOCs in 1995, as a pure fighter, with no budget delays, programmatic restructurings; etc.

This also means that it never really aquires the "air to ground" mission it acquired in our timeline to get congress to fund it during it's protracted development, so the F-22 really doesn't have any real strike fighter role, except strafing the ground with 20mm and dropping perhaps 1 or 2 iron bombs; until about 2000; or so, when funding is allocated for the F-22C (F-22B is two seat trainer) to turn it into an all weather aircraft.

---------

A-10 Warthog

Suggest you rename units:

151, 158, 870 and 917 to A-10A Warthog

871 to A-10C Warthog (representing a complete systems upgrade of the A-10 to have thermal imagery, etc etc)

Create a new "A-10B FAC" unit based on this

to stand in between unit 557 (air OP spotter) and 562 (Predator UAV)

---------------------------------------

F-14 Tomcat is replaced from 2000s onward with the Naval Advanced Technology Fighter

F-35......would it EVEN exist as we know it in a Continued Cold War?

The Joint Strike Fighter Program came about because of a 1993 defense review which said that each service doing their own tactical aviation programs wasn't affordable, and cancelled the USAF's Multi-Role Fighter (MRF) and the USN's Advanced Strike Aircraft (A/F-X), to create the JSF.

Obviously, with the commies still around, cost is no object.

So lets look at both the programs which gave birth to the JSF:

The USAF wanted the Multi-Role Fighter (MRF) program (begun in 1991) as a relatively low-cost F-16 replacement. Similar in size to the F-16, the MRF was to have been a single-seat / single-engine aircraft, with a unit flyaway cost in the range of $35 to $50 million.

So this most likely WOULD be built, looking I would imagine very similar to Lockheed Martin's X-35 entry, but designated F-24....which is what Lockheed was calling it; they got really pissed about the F-35 designator.

Meanwhile, the US Navy after the A-12 was cancelled along with the NATF; created the A/F-X program; an advanced, “high-end,” carrier-based multi-mission aircraft with day/night/all-weather capability, low observables, long range, two engines, two-crew, and advanced, integrated avionics and countermeasures. The Air Force participated in this new program from its initiation, still seeking a replacement for the F-111 and, in the longer term, the F-15E and F-117A.

With the A-12 not being cancelled....the Navy wouldn't even create the A/F-X program.

I would imagine that the aging F-15Es, F-111s, and F-117As in CWC verse get replaced with your FB-22 (which is already in).

There's also a bunch of other what ifs:

From the 70s, but you can probably use the concept somehow...
