    I was hoping to go a step further with active vehicles. If you're in Afghanistan during the Soviet war, it wouldn't be pleasant for your recovery helicopter to get laid into by an active nearby BTR or a Shilka but that might be alittle too Arma.

    I'm glad the Fulton Recovery system will be in the Phantom Pain but I hope the system is improved and there is a greater deal of risk. ie: You can't use it indoors like in Peacewalker. I also hope you can't just hoist enemy troops into the air in the eyes of other enemy troops without them going on alert. It just takes something away from the stealth of the game and I hope the developers try to make the player consider the consequences of using the Fulton in a hot area. Not only should surrounding guards go on high alert but you run a high risk of having the recovery aircraft being shot down and thus losing a valuable asset. One of the items I liked from Ground Zeroes was that you had to take people to a safe zone to have them recovered. There should be dangerous consequences for not clearing an area out of guards or taking something to a safer point before having it hoisted back to your base.

    Looking at the list, I was probably going throw in a GTX 660 Sig 2 FTW and an 120GB SSD. I've been planning a build for awhile and this came along as cheaper overall. Not sure about the PSU though as I was looking at a Corsair or EVGA.

    MGS3 and Peacewalker put alot of things together. I recommend MGS3 just because I consider it to be the best game thus far in the series plot wise.

    Give them props on the music they've chosen for each of these trailers. They're good. So many interpretations of the 1984 release. Clever Kojima.
  7. Shadow
    The MGSV trailer kept me content but I saw the early leak. Still nothing on The Last Guardian though.

    Looks like the copy of a copy of an F-22. Nice YF-21/X-31 vector nozzles by the way.

    I always saw the movies and comics as two very seperate stories and therefore, never considered what happen in the comics to be factual for the movies. Just went to go see this yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I didn't think Western Maine was that populated. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2014/05/29/guard-no-low-altitude-training-for-noisy-f-35-fighter-jets-in-maine/

    Thought the J-20 is being developed to be a fighter/interceptor.

    Technically the A, B and C are there to distinguish the specific type and launch platform they're meant for. A = standard aircraft, B = STOVL capability, more complex, C = Carrier capable. They all perform the same roles rather than a specific varient being made to take on a special role such as SEAD (F-4G, F-16CJ) I still feel they went in the wrong direction with trying to have one aircraft take on the role of several. What there aiming for is for the F-22 to be the air superiority fighter with its small numbers and the F-35 to do everything else Along with a small army of drone aircraft. Nothing really inbetween. It would have been nice to see an interdiction aircraft developed along the lines of a stealthy F-111 to fill that gap where the F-35 lacks range and payload, and the B-1/B-2 are too costly to risk losing.

    YES! was my first line of thought when I saw this appear on GOG finally. http://www.gog.com/game/f117a_nighthawk_stealth_fighter_20

    Wait, what? http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303417104579542212039334946

    Nice find. Not exactly new news but interesting still. It only took us 40 years to develop an equivelent to the Hind. Still, the Battlehawk looks quite beastly.
  16. Shadow
    Ah, so Ukraine still has a number of Mig-29s left.

    So Iran is going to film its own version of Top Gun with IRIAF F-14s and we have a fake carrier prop piece/target.
  18. Shadow
    Like to see some fake VF-1s thrown on aswell. Plus the Fencer (maybe an Su-24MR) wasn't carrying anything on it apparently. Read a story somewhere of a Tu-95 buzzing the mast of an aircraft carrier once also.
  19. Shadow
    An Su-24 crew got bored apparently. http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/04/15/russia-fighter-jet-buzzed-us-destroyer

    It looks interesting but I'll stay reserved until I finally see it. Luc Besson films tend to intrigue me. Loved Leon:The Professional and The Fifth Element.

    With the exception of older school stuff at times, my anime watching has sort of fallen off the map due to RL. Been trying to complete Attack on Titan and Maoyu.

    Hmm dat Black Widow. Not certain if this was posted already but Russia appears to be working on a successor to the Foxhound. http://theaviationist.com/2014/03/05/mig-41-mig-31-replacement/

    I didn't want to throw $30 on a demo so I just watched a playthrough. Kojima's release date trolling continues but I'm going to bank on a December release at the VERY earliest and that's still wishful thinking on my part.

    Another interesting question is can a Generation 5 aircraft be non-stealthy? It seems among many that if it isn't stealth, it can't be considered 5th gen but a 4++. My concern with the F-35 is that in most combat scenarios where it would be called into action, it may likely have to carry external stores.
  25. Shadow
    The Russians really lacked the sophisticated radar technology of the West so they put more emphasis on IR detection. It's probably why they still emphasis agility in their aircraft. With systems like the SA-21 and future S-500, stealth won't be nearly as effective as it was 15 years ago.
