Hey guys, Long term hangar question. My current fleet is below. I have a Sabre to Zeus MkII MR CCU waiting to see if the MR is something I might actually need for bounty hunting, once bounty hunting is more than just fly out and shoot someone. :) Right now the Sabre only gets used when I...

Well I did open my wallet for the first time since they blamed us for their inability to meet their own self imposed deadlines. They got $20 from me because they finally finished something and declared it done. The Lightning doesn't impress me. On paper I prefer my Vanguard. :) And I'm not...

The "crew it" question is why I melted mine in my big fleet reorganization a while back. It is now a Liberator and the Retaliator that grew into a Polaris is back to a Retaliator and my only ship with a "max crew" bigger than 3.

This thread is much quieter this year than most previous years. If this thread is any indication, it looks like CIG's IAE this year wasn't as money producing as previous years.

Not significant. I melted my Cutlass Blue to Zeus II MR CCU, bought a Hornet Wildfire to Zeus II MR CCU and a Sabre to Hornet Wildfire CCU. Total spent $5. I decided I rather have the option of both the Blue and the MR. Nothing applied, so no changes to the fleet. The plan is to add the MR...

I am reminded of a similar conflict, back when Doctor Who was good. View: https://youtu.be/ZN19oHTv_Vg?si=w_rCv8vVD3-AZEuo

The B-21 is white, like my Eclipse. Though the Eclipse, is a closer equivalent is the F-117 than the B-2 or B-21. Short ranged tactical.

The Engine issues that Doolittle complained about were due to inexperience. With the right settings, the engines were just fine. However those settings were finicky, and required following multiple steps, in the right order, to switch from cruising mode to combat mode. Getting it wrong caused...

The specs for NGAD include the requirement to reach Mach 10.

Compared to everything else I've seen on the NGAD this engine is actually slow.

When it's the Air Force, I think Chuck Yeager or Jimmy Stewart.

CIG introduced the concept a year ago as almost ready for us. It got brought up at this years Citizen Con as almost ready for us, and put it into an "experimental mode" in Arena Commander. "Master modes" is the latest effort to force slower and closer combat. Essentially, yes, in combat you...

You won't see anything special on the Liberator before release, where it will get a price bump.

The P-38 mission The Germans called the P-38 the Twin Tailed Devil. Jimmy Doolittle called the P-38 "the sweetest flying plane in the sky." The main problem with the P-38 was it was a complex aircraft especially for rookie pilots with only 25 hours in type. The P-38 served in Europe from the US...

Operation Vengence was in April of 1943. Round trip was 1100 miles, plus combat in the middle and the mission was flown at low level, which isn't the most fuel efficeint way to fly. At the time the P-38, was the only aircraft with the range to do the job. It isn't that you can't fly stealth...

Considering the Sweinfurt-Regensberg mission, where 60 B-17 were lost, due to a combination of Fighters and Flak. In that mission 38 Luftwaffe fighters were lost, according to German records, with 21 more damaged. That tends to question the claim that bomber guns and gunners were ineffective...

What CR wants is Hollywood Space Opera in a game. World War II, only in an extreme Hollywood interpretation. The whole close range, long lasting, 1 v 1 dogfights was never a thing in World War 2. Your target usually went down in a single burst of machinegun fire. In fact the Thach Weave...

I never consider anything without a Quantum Drive, other than a Bike, worth anything. So, I agree, the Fury isn't right for the job. The bigger the missile the longer the minimum range. The only missile size (at least before my current time playing, I haven't checked in a couple of years) that...

If you only need a couple of Arrester IIIs the ship makes no difference for VLRT and LRT. You can't launch more than 4 missiles at a time, regardless of how many tubes you have.
