Ya know, I dont think #15 would have really worked in a war...

1 Fuel would have been consumed like crazy
2 production would be hard, and expensive
3 The large use of aircraft would have made it a perfect target, being that the AA gun looks... well there is only one...
4 Its butt ugly.

some of that stuff is quite intresting tho.
