    Some real nice moves there, great show. Wish I got to see it live, maybe some day I'll make the trip over.

    The AC7 website got a major facelift today, its looking real slick now. https://ace7.acecombat.jp/

    I've browsed through it at times, but I haven't made an account yet. At the moment I've only got a lonely SKS, being a college student with only a part time job doesn't leave much money for expanding the collection.

    Oh yeah, I tried bringing up Macross at my college anime club and just got blank stares. Maybe that'll change once HG loses their death grip on the IP in a couple years (hopefully).

    M7 is definitely a love it of hate it affair. I'd give my left arm for a Macross the Ride adaptation too, there are some pretty delicious VF designs in there that would look awesome in motion. The VF-19 Nothung in particular.
  6. AN/ALQ128
    Look at that, a miniature drone payload system. Just like the VF-31.

    Completely agree, at least Delta still had excellent mecha designs, background art, and music to make up for the nosedive in writing quality. TLJ was a dumpster fire in every way.
  8. AN/ALQ128
    I'd put it like this, if you could get past Frontier and M7, Delta should be no problem. But it definitely takes a plunge in quality around episode 13 or so, which is the last episode I derived any excitement and enjoyment from.

    The first half isn't bad, imo.

    RIP in pieces, we hardly knew ye. http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-admits-defeat-su-57-not-going-into-mass-production-2018-7

    Project Aces celebrated the 23rd anniversary of the Ace Combat franchise in a pretty fitting way. Also a subtle confirmation that the YF-23 is another playable aircraft in Ace Combat 7, I hope.

    Some later variants of the F-89 Scorpion could mount missiles on the wingtip mounted fuel tanks.
  13. AN/ALQ128
    If we're on the topic of cramming as many missiles on the Eagle as possible, Boeing has introduced a new hardpoint system called AMBER, which can enable the F-15 to carry up to 22 air to air missiles. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/new-wings-on-qatar-f-15s-pave-upgrade-path-for-usaf-446189/

    I'm not so sure that would be the best idea, considering the circumstances of its ignoble death (massive overpromising from the contractors, massive underestimation of the challenges involved in making a navalized stealth aircraft). IMO, they should have never retired the Intruders for it.

    Here's some more indepth details on the story and gameplay https://www.dualshockers.com/ace-combat-7-story-screenshots/

    I'm pretty excited for the Block 3 Superbug. It'll be a fine upgrade for sure, RAM, CFT's, IRST, new engines, and a fancy new tactical datalink software so it can keep up with the Lightnings.

    The F-35 has seen its first combat sortie. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-44210403
  18. AN/ALQ128
    Judging by the kickstarter numbers, it definitely looks like it'll get funded, and a bit more. It's only been a day or so, and they're $119,654 into a $174,645 goal.

    The X-32 lost due to multiple shortcomings, the biggest being an inferior lift system to the X-35 (which would lead to hot exhaust being reingested by the intake), failure to iron out issues with making the upper surface of the wings out of a single piece of carbon composite (which would have provided significant weight savings), issues with reaching the top speed of the aircraft and making vertical flight in the same test flight (this meant that Boeing had two different aircraft in testing, the X-32A and X-32B), and a sudden Navy decision to modify low speed manuevring requirements, necessitating a change in planform for the X-32.

    https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-04-25/kenichi-sonoda-project-b.b-anime-confirmed-as-project-bean-bandit/.130815 Kenichi Sonoda is making a new Bean Bandit/Gunsmith Cats anime. I'm surprised that two series that have been dormant for this long got a new project, especially since Sonoda has been tied up working at his sweet shop for the past decade, but I'm quite excited about it.
  21. AN/ALQ128
    Perhaps Kawamori is beginning to get burned out on Macross? It's still inexplicable just how bad the quality drop was between the first and second half. Maybe he had a stroke or something.
  22. AN/ALQ128
    If it weren't for the fact that in reality the YF-16 had red instead of orange wings, I'd say there's a strong resemblance to the YF-16 colour scheme.
  23. AN/ALQ128
    Looks like the F-3 is no more. http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/release/3/191261/japan-drops-plan-to-develop-own-fighter.html

    Cline is the epitome of the "Tell, don't show" school of fanfi-I mean, fiction writing.
  25. AN/ALQ128
    So, the newest Death Stranding trailer just released, and I still don't have a single clue what its about. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely excited to find out though.
