Lost Cause said
I thought the war took place entirely within 1995?

Yeah, reading over my sheet, I realized that I made at least two big mistakes (regarding genes and the date).

[Lost Cause]

Actually, think I will still use the Corsair for now, and stick her in a Hornet when I get the chance.

[Rafale]

Sounds good to me.

Mage, Angelika is accepted.

[The Mage]

Danke!

[Lost Cause]

So now I just have to finish writing her.

[The Mage]

yep.

I will also try to get a Shinden II if it becomes available. It's the best looking Fiction Fighter in my opinion

[Rafale]

IF it becomes available. I'm still trying to figure out how it could fit into the Strangereal world, especially since it's basically just a real-world, less fancy version of the X-02.

[The Mage]

Place those planes and give em to the Strangereal counterpart countries, that's what I think.

then again I don't know what Strangereal country is Japan....I know Emmeria's a mix of the UK and such

[Lost Cause]

One of the things I don't get about the Shinden is that the background bumf from the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Master File establishes the UK as the major export customer for the F-3C, but this isn't brought across in the game itself.

[The Mage]

Who knows. Don't know why they get the STOVLs

[Rafale]

The Royal Navy (as far as I know) can only use V/STOL aircraft on their current carriers due to their size (the Harrier, for example). It's the main reason they decided to go for the VTOL F-35 (lol) instead of the dedicated carrier model, I think.

EDIT: And if you look on the wiki, the Royal Navy is indeed the main customer of the Magnificent Lightning (export model).

No, they've flip-flopped on which version of the F35 to get; not too long ago the plan was to build the Queen Elizabeth to take Cats and Traps and get the C version, which would be cheaper in the long term, until someone pointed out the short-term cost and they went back to Bs.

[The Mage]

they went back to Basics, then?

[Rafale]

Mage, I shall now call you Sergeant Puns.

VTOL is quite the fuel eater though...

[The Mage]

I prefer Private Joker!

[Lost Cause]

And the F35B is responsible for a lot of the delays and cost overruns of the project.

[The Mage]

so THATS where all our money is going to!

still pretty pissed at the Blue Angels cancellation

also, 117 POST!

[TheFake]

wrong 117 my friend:

[The Mage]

...I'll add that.

[Rafale]

The Fake, I forgot to accept you before. You've been accepted, adding your character to the OP.
