Seen that... Anyway, the Super Silph does NOT a flip perform. A flip is when you pull the nose up hard. It pushes down harder than most planes can pull up; something that is impossible, anyway, due to aerodynamics.

Yup... I have the Super Silph in FSX, and it only flies because the model doesn't control the flight data. Its CFG file's got the same attributes, almost, as the FS8 VF-1's

Further, the military ALWAYS chooses the cheaper plane. YF-22 vs YF-23 F-18 vs F-14 F-35 vs F-15 etcetera

Can't stand a floppy backpack. I bought a $50 hiking backpack because it had straps on the bottom which keep it from flopping around when I walk home from school. Really helps the back, too!

Well, plasma is formed when matter is exposed to a specific amount of heat or energy levels. If you ever put a lightbulb in a microwave, you will see plasma run along the surface of the inside, generated as the Tungsten filament changes phase from solid to plasma. Using a ferromagnetic round in a railgun, one could theoretically generate plasma on the external surface and prevent its dissipation though the magnetic field generated in the round. It would take a lot of calculations to get it to fire correctly, but when the sweet spot is found, the round would have better penetration, since it doesn't only rely on impact, but superheated plasma cutting through the target as it contacts it. Agreed.

Ah, the Yukikaze... I would LOVE to see a real plane do that move where it flips DOWN, pulls out just over the ocean, and flies at the enemy ship.

I'm sorry, but with your flash on, your Low-Visibility is higher visibility than my ANGEL BIRD. Bet you didn't see that one coming.

The worst part is, I was on a Collison Course with that pun. Anyway, the SSL-9B is a railgun, so it must fire a ferric round. Ferric Tungsten, anyone? This furthers my theory, somewhat, since the high amount of energy that is used to fire a railgun can magnetize a round, as well as surround it in superheated plasma if certain conditions with temperature and material are met.

Your backpack is floppy...

I came. Once again, you don't cease to amaze. GOOD JOB!

That said, the GU-11 uses a belt and a larger magazine. The SSL-9B uses a 12 round removable clip magzine, similar to that of the VF-19. By their very nature, these hold fewer rounds. Now, I'm in no way disagreeing with what you said. I said smaller and meant "in diameter." I would assume a super-dense round uses Tungsten, as it is hard and dense; perfect for this application. Further, it takes well to plasma, as we see in lightbulbs. This would further support my Hybrid Theory (12 points if you get the joke).

Further, the round, while smaller, is launched at much higher speed, and appears to be a "hybrid" round. In some science fiction, a Hybrid Round is a physical weapons round that is charged with energy, surrounded by plasma, or the like. It's a directed energy weapon, as well as a physical weapon, thus Hybrid. Since it's known to be a physical round, but it has the blue trail, even in space, I believe it to be a hybrid round. This would further explain its effectiveness, despite smaller size, since it would have more penetrative capability, being surrouned by superheated plasma.

No, it's fish-eye effect from the camera. It's actually very straight... Now, the shelf below it, which is full of a mess of books... Actually, the weight on the shelf at the bottom of that picture is less than the rest of the shelves, being mostly covered in papercraft and Gunpla.

If the radar can be used with other 1/60 VF-1s... I may get into 1/60 scale...

It's the VF-22 because it's different from the YF-21. The VF-22 isn't as complex as the YF-21, to start with.

Keep at it, bro. It looks amazing.

Well, I will say, my bookshelf is cheaper than Ikea, so... Maybe using things for purposes other that that for which they were intended isn't such a bad idea, atfer all.

It's too big! That's what she said!

Good. I'm somewhat sick with indigestion from the mediterranean delight... I don't wish to go back and do anything.

Well, it makes sense. The VFs are nothing without their modular weapons capacity. We know the VF-25F can carry the SSL-9B, and that any VF-1 can mount a GPB-1S, Strike Pack, or the reaction warheads. It's like a real fighter, in which the payload can be selected by the pilot, according to the mission's needs. I can definitely see the use of a heavy gunpod, over the norm, somewhat similar to loading a rocket pod in place of the gunpods on the Hawker Harrier.

As for me, I've always had a tackle box to keep all my tackle in. Is it so strange to use something for its intended purpose?

That was posted prior to my consumption of that much baklava. Should I edit it?

505th makes a good point, but you probably already knew that. Keep it going, nylcbv!

He's right; I can see it now.

Fail? Doesn't it appear in the manual?
