Capabilities aside, what about Man-Machine Interface? A fighter with excellent A-G or A-A capabilities, but will lousy MMI will not be able to fight to its fullest potential. Just like the SUs or MIGs, I am sure that they are a/c excellent capabilities, but with a not so good MMI, they are just not as great as the American or even European fighters.
The Strike Eagle, being an A-G fighter from design, I am sure it has MMI that are optimised for A-G mission, but for Rafale and Typhoon, I have my reservations. Anyone with insights on this??
