About this war, there were several lessons learnt about modern naval air warfare, however, some people considered that it was inconclusive given that this was a "low-intensity" engagement wich given the relatively lean amount of resources expent wouldn´t highlight what may have happened in the same kind of environment, with more power in the area. It was even compared to the Footbal War of 1969 (Corsairs Vs Mustangs weren´t representative of air war in the 60s)
That´s why some time ago i proposed something to the Argentine members about increasing the air power of both sides in the Campaign with changes credible, wich woudn´t have changed the course of history too much. What i propose is, for a war in 1984:
Argentine:
All Mirage derivatives replaced by Mirage III NG (Kfir style Canards, Mirage F1 powerplant and weapons systems, fine choice)
All SkyHawks in the A-4M configuration (the Argentines, as members said, were about to get some)
Super Etendard squadron fully operative
Argentine Navy deployed beside the islands
British:
Conventional Carrier Task Force, usual air wing for the Royal Navy, including the use of F-4S
(I´m not sure about who told me, perhaps Spinners, that F-4M was far from perfect. Given the use of second handed F-4Js post-war, i think it might have been interesting)
What do you think about this?
