The Raptor is really not a fighter, but a killer. There wont be any 'fights' with the Raptor, which is the best weapon system (after AEGIS) ever devised. Against a Tomcat, or some other fighter, an enemy might have a fighting chance, get lucky, or the other guy might make a mistake.
With the Raptor, other aircraft will just leave the area if they THINK their might be Raptors nearby. It wont kill many aircraft, because it wont have to. The Raptor has the advantage over as many opposing aircraft as it has missiles to shoot. Any survivors would be out-flown until being finished off by the cannon. When out of munitions, the Raptor can run away and not be caught by anything.
It deserves it's own category.
