    Hmmn, RAF Super Hornets.... (Too late now, but was a Naval Tornado ever considered? Swing-wings on carriers rock)

    I haven't seen Bandai do that in YEARS, and the failure rate was high. I figure if they've improved on it, we'd have seen it by now. Even the higher-end MG's don't have it. (PG fingers are kinda like that, but that's really more like "2 same plastics enveloping each other")

    Hey, they just said today they dropped their first actual training bombs at Hill, vs their previous simulated training bombs.

    The turbofan to turbojet "mode conversion" was THE key design feature of the YF120. Still nothing like it now AFAIK. (And is why it's so remarkably superior to the F119 in supercruise).

    Is that everyone? Or will they maybe add a new listing? (Trying to decide when/where to "cull" the earlier posts to make the first page just uninterrupted character profiles)

    There's too many F/B-23 models and drawings made by Northrop for it to have not been at least somewhat considered. It's like the R/A-5C and YF-23 had a baby. Also, F-23A traded area ruling/speed (and likely stealth) for more internal volume compared to YF-23. F/B-23 clearly is using that big spine for yet even more fuel.

    That'd be a hand-painted proto. Don't expect the actual release to be like that.

    Any DC-9's or 727's still flying around there?

    Could always be intakes for radiators/cooling. Even in space you need radiators.

    I've been fairly close to a hovering Sea Harrier but it must have been a bit further away, because I've read many accounts that NOTHING beats a hovering Harrier when it comes to noise, but my experience wasn't all that memorable, sound-wise.

    Stealing from NEOGaf because it's too brilliant not to use it forever: B-2.1
  12. David Hingtgen
    So the official US tri-services numbering system is just completely abandoned then, it seems. First F-35 instead of F-24, now B-21 instead of B-3. The -35 is at least an easily understood error, but they're blatantly admitting they basically picked -21 "because it was cool". I call dibs on next fighter being F-77, 'cuz it's a cool number...

    Arcadia's been color blind since day one. I don't think one valk they've made is really right. Except the 0S maybe.

    Lack of mecha is one of my main complaints. "Less is more" doesn't work when it's almost down to "none is more". And yeah, really sick of the Turbines-harem. They fill like half the eps lately but don't advance the plot at all.

    A recording doesn't match the real-life intensity/frequency. A lot of the effect is lost. It's way up there in my all time "bad auditory experiences in life".
  16. David Hingtgen
    And the F-15E's is painfully loud and shrill.
  17. David Hingtgen
    The GE's *sound* cooler, and that's the important thing.
  18. David Hingtgen
    No pink? That's a huge omission for the Gundam-verse.
  19. David Hingtgen
    So, I'm at episode 17 of IBO. Really starting to lose interest. Does it get good again? They should have made it to Earth long ago. It was quite good up until they left Mars. I'm thinking of abandoning the series at this point, and doing something better with my TV-watching time, like catching up on Walking Dead.
  20. David Hingtgen
    The Block 40's have all those external stiffeners now though, any different from the N's issues?

    Paypal is always the worst choice for a currency conversion. Even a credit card that isn't "foreign-friendly" will do better.

    Oh, Delta (and people's opinions of it) has certainly kept us busy with cleaning up the forums.
  23. David Hingtgen
    It was simply a question----when we mods find pages and pages of rants about "magical girls ruining the franchise" in many threads about Delta, then the podcast is like the opposite of that, it does seem odd in a way. I mean----what if the podcast had asked about Plus or DYRL, and like everyone hated it? It'd be very "unexpected based on what is usually seen in the forums".

    The lobster component is by far the easiest section of Tripredacus to deal with.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Tripredacus is almost exactly what you ask for in a combiner. And is a nightmare to transform back into component beast modes.
