Mig Fulcrum Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Maybe I'm wrong but shouldn't it be called F1 and not F-1? Because right now on the ED shop and in the launch trailer video title it is called F-1. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong of course.

jaguara5 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Indeed, it's F1. Have also heard from a former F1(CG) pilot that the 'F' stands for 'Future' (not for 'Fighter'). Edited July 27, 2022 by jaguara5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foogle Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 It matters because there is an F1 and an F-1 and they are different aircraft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have often seen it notated as F.1, with a period. Ironically enough mostly with plastic model kits. Anyone know where/how that notation came about when the official notation is no period and no hyphen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Aerges has this correct in the unit listing and just about everywhere else. Especially when there's a plane that's actually called the F-1, the Mitsubishi F-1 - which is the first thing that comes up when I search for "F-1 plane". If ED had called the F-16 "F1-6" I'm pretty confident people would've spoken about it. While we're at it: There's no such thing as a MiG-29A, it's just MiG-29 (we've got the 9-12 MiG-29). Same for the Su-25 (though that's named correctly). AWACS -> AEW&C (or AEW for short). AWACS means Airborne Warning and Control System, which is specifically the system installed on the E-3 Sentry and E-767. Calling every AEW&C aircraft an AWACS is like calling every interceptor a Foxbat or like calling every attack helicopter an Apache. AWACS also doesn't make sense as a task if you spell it out - the last letter is "system". An aircraft conducting Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) makes sense - an aircraft conducting Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) does not.

Nealius Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Need to get my hands on that Kitty Hawk CT/CR. It's a shame they went out of business. I heard their kits had major issues, but their SH-2F that I'm currently working on isn't that bad. I stupidly got their 1/32 M2000D/N despite not having enough workspace to build such a monster haha.

Man, have you tried to pronounce AEW&C phonetically out loud? Don’t do it in public, someone may panic and give you a Heimlich maneuver. AWACS just rolls off the tongue.

It's not really that bad at all - especially seeing as its perfectly fine to shorten it to AEW, there it's no different whatsoever to FBI, CIA or RAF. Apache rolls off the tounge much better than attack helicopter, but I reckon if I called a Mi-28 an Apache someone might glass me.
