Default Re: Question about aircraft range finders

Currently we have :

AC-47D Puff ('64-'69) RF=8
AC-130A Spectre ('68-'95) RF=8
AC-130E Big Gun ('72-'95) RF=8
AC-130U Spooky ('95-'06) RF=8
AC-130U+ Spooky ('06-'20) RF=12
A-7A Corsair II ('67-'70) RF=5
A-7E Corsair II ('70-'87) RF=10
F-35B Lightning (maybe '16-20) RF=14

I'd certainly think the following aircraft should rate RF :

A-6E Intruder (and quite possibly the A-6A version)
EA-6 Prowler
F-111 Aardvark
F117 Nighthawk

And possibly the :

RF-4 Wild Weasel
A-10 Warthog
F-14 Tomcat
F/A-18F Hornet (the two seat variant, and quite possibly the F/A-18E version)
E/A-18G Growler
AV-8B+ Harrier (and maybe the AV-8B version)
AV-8C Harrier
MQ-1B Predator
MQ-9 Mariner
F-22 Raptor
