Small amounts of things is usually a good idea, unless you are talking about Cheetos.

Sorry guys I think I should take a break from these forums and learn a little anger management.

If you feel the need...

Most of us - myself at the top of the list - have posted in anger before and ended up looking rather silly after the fact.

Then we wondered why we couldn't have waited a few minutes, cooled off, and re-typed what we were really thinking, and THEN hit "Send".

This thread about SAMs has turned into a picture war of who can get the most pictures of Russian(If poster is American) or American(If poster is Russian/Russia fan) aircraft wrecked.

Will 5th gen planes like the Raptor see their stealth hampered by rain or have they worked out a way to dodge that problem?

I can't say for certain given I don't know exactly what type of RAM is being used on the F22 but I beleive most of the current gen RAM coatings are affected alot less by water and condensation.

the Raptor barely uses any RAM it doesn't need it. Besides wouldn't the water just come off at the high alttiude not to mention it's way above clouds.

Operationally the Raptor should spend at least 90% of it's time above the weather.

WAY above the weather. Aint too many storm clouds at 60,000 plus feet.

Very True which most Raptor detractor's fail to know as well as the pathetic garbage some Russians provide about the weather degrading their stealth ability.
