F15E is not a Mach 2 Jet. Its a bomb Truck. Get a clue
You dont take Hung ordnace over Mach 1.2 (realisticly the drag is too high Wastes Fuel, and it damadges the pylons, structures and ordinance)
The discussion is focused on the F15C Envelope.
F16 does not have a variable ramps. It's usable velocity is 700 Knots Dynamic pressure through the intake, which is standard intake pressure for a rotational assembly Turbine. F16 will always be a Lower mach jet due to its intake design, until they put an internal Velocity control ramp or change the inlet. Neither of which is going to happen.
The only advantage to these engines is going to be the low Mach Thrust to get up to speed quicker, climb faster, and push through transonic Drag at 35K.
Apparently BigVette is to ignorant on the uptake.

Ignorant to what again, I'm sure I quite understand what it is you are advocating?
