why is the USAF flight hour per capita so low?
Is it because the fake engines have finally caught up to maintenance?

>USAF pilots have so much experience so they don't have to train that hard.
Is it true? how important is experience in nu air combat?

When I simply though it COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE about the state of the US Military.... I find this. So it looks like not only do the Chinese have a growing competitive Air Force (arguably better in the future), they have double the flight hours... which explains why the US pilots have so many crashes recently and why you hardly ever see or hear about Chinese Air Force crashes. It seems to be that we can put a rest about the cope that we have
>muh better pilots
Can we really have better pilots when they get half as much hours?

>The United States, by contrast, must operate from afar to overcome the tyranny of distance in the Pacific, imposing severe logistical challenges on its combat operations. The 3,400 nautical mile round trip from Guam to Taiwan would limit the U.S. Air Force to about 740 fighter sorties and 33 bomber sorties daily, even after reinforcements. The total number of fighter and bomber sorties the U.S. and allied air forces could muster from the second island chain, including Guam, would be roughly 26 percent of what China’s PLAAF can generate. If the decision were made to move U.S. fighters to forward basing in the first island chain—Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines—the USAF could almost double its sortie rate to roughly 1,850 sorties a day, but that is still less than half what the PLAAF could generate.
Oh and they have new, bigger, planes that can carry longer ranged missiles.
Do the "people" that run these so called war games take any of this into account? Or do they ignore it and have huge biases? I wish there was a game that you could accurately simulate this.
