Military Times Battle Bracket Finals

04/03/2016 4:56 PM

Military Times Battle Bracket

With the number of forum members that are either current/former military - or work in the defense industries, thought you might enjoy.

Note: Voting ends on 12-Noon Eastern this Tuesday and it's down to the A-10 Warthog vs. Nimitz-class Carrier.

Looks like the Warthog is losing, big time, to the carrier.

I voted for the Warthog anyway.

We love the A-10, but we also love our nuclear 4 acre aircraft carriers. Bigger and better all the time, more firepower, more everything for every combat mission.

As much as I love the A-10, I can't vote on emotion and I have to go with the Nimitz.

Doesn't the Nimitz have an unfair advantage as being a collection of war fighting equipment?

I not quite sure how its scored to make it comparable.

But then again, each has its Achilles heel....

This say that just one of these will sink a Nimitz Class aircraft carrier.

I have to go with the Nimitz class carrier. I was on two of them and as much as I think the A-10 Warthog is super cool and awesome, it just can't stack up against the firepower of the Carrier. between all the fighting aircraft, it's missiles and it's sea wiz, the A-10 is toast.
