the f-22 raptor

I'm super interested in how the computers inside of these things work, apparently the whole surface is covered with sensors and a whole lot more

It probably works like the Eurofighter typhoon, where the plane is inherently unstable in flight, and the computer always keeps it pointing in the right direction, doing hundreds of tiny adjustments to flight each second.

The benefit for this however is fantastic maneuverability, but if  the computers stop working, you're forgeted.

How has no one posted a Zero? The most agile fighter during WWII?

[Alkatjo]

WWII*?

And no, that wasn't the most agile fighter used in WWII.

Behold the Ishak. A monoplane with 6 7.6mm guns (I think).
It was small, and could turn like a forgeter.

[Blockaium]

It was small

dude the wheel is like bigger than the guy

[blazerblock2]

arma 2 had given me a deep seeded fear of russian helicopters and vehicles

that's a lot of forgetin rockets

e: also, no love for spectres?


check that double tracer fire

how about that 105mm m102 howitzer and 40mm L60 bofors cannons

and how about these beauties?  two 25mm GAU-12/U Equalizer cannons

gorgeous

rip infantry

yeah man
in an escape mission you'd usually hear the rockets firing and impacting before you'd notice the helicopter. and if we had a convoy, they would totally wreck us no matter how strong our armor was just because of how many rockets it could launch so quickly

ACU-130 is incredibly useless is a conventional fight when the enemy has SAMs.

They'd just shoot them down and proceed to send IFV's and MBT's while long range SAMs watch out for Aircraft and Missiles such as the S-300 or Patriot.

about 4 people have posted the AC-130 spectre

two including me actually.  that's a pretty rough estimate man.

[Mikoyan]

AC-130s are useless

Why do you think no one uses them

[Qwepir]
