You know, if I were planning a general battle I think an A-10 / F-22 combined-force would do well:
— A-10 for CAS and forward air control
— F-22 for Air superiority, keep the skies clear and controlled for medevac, supplies, etc.

Groundwise I’d want Paladins (too bad the Crusader was scrapped) to support the infantry units.
(And you have to have infantry to control the ground. You CANNOT claim ground control from mere air-control: Afghanistan shows that.)

And F-15E’s for the heavy lifting deep strike.
