TangledThorns Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) I didn't care for Tom Cruise in his early days of the 1980s but he gets better as he gets older. Watched Rain Man today for the first time in decades that made me appreciate him more now.

Lol, yeah probably....though that would be REALLY bad. At least Top Gun used easily noticeably different aircraft for the MiG’s in that movie. Chris edit: How many victories did Maverick have in the first movie? I can’t remember. Was it 3? If so the the silhouette’s are wrong.

No I think he shot down 3xF-18s. Maverick's training methods. If you can dodge a sidewinder, you can dodge a ball.... I'm really curious on how they will portray Iceman. I wonder if we can get some real opposition this time, SU-37s, may be Mig 29s. They can be Russian or North Koreans, but not Chinese, because the China movie market is huge...

Sanity is Optional Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 From the blurb about manned fighter planes in an era of drones, I'm half-expecting them to go Macross Plus on this and have him dogfight an AI controlled drone.

Chronocidal Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) So.. what you're saying is we should merge franchises, and this is actually Stealth II? Now that just reminds me of someone's suggested Jurassic Park far-future sequel: Quote Millions of years in the future, the dinosaurs have taken over the world, and driven humanity to extinction. Somewhere in a secret lab, the dinosaur geneticists discover human DNA in a mosquito. SURPRISE! It's Jeff Goldblum's DNA! But they can't separate the human DNA from the mosquito DNA. DOUBLE SURPRISE!! It's now a sequel to The Fly!! Edited September 17, 2018 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With FAST packs: Is that thing carrying all those pods at once? I guess I can see that, mount two over the wings, two more on the FAST pack, two under the wing, and what the hell, that thing on the centerline could make it seven. Let's see, if we take option one, six pods equals to 24xAMRAAMs. Itano circus anyone? Although that needs to happen before his backseater activates the centerline pods and call for the drones.

kalvasflam Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Exactly, they need to be able to mount at least seven of those pods to make it worth while. Like I said, two over the FAST pack tanks on the Rhinos, may be two more on top of the wings, and two beneath. Then the cernerline pod. Please remember, we're talking Hollywood here, you can never have enough missile pods or missiles, or Mig 28s. And by the way, why is this a Navy fighter without carrying Harpoons or SLAM-ERs. Just utterly unconscionable, next you'll tell me that the air launched Tomahawks are too big to fit into those pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
