Essentially though, TSFs don't really take into account the size of the planes they are based off. eg the F-16, while IRL is an attacker aircraft half the size of other planes, as a TSF is the same size as other TSFs. Planes like the F-14 and F-18 that are Navy spec that are big sized have detachable or sweepback wings to maximize space for storage while keeping enough chassis to store fuel, carry bombs, wing lift etc, for missions. TSFs don't really follow that matrix, since they all are more or less around 18m... and they have specialized TSF carrier's in anycase, such as the Assault Class of ships.
