The F22 and F35 are 5th Generation fighters. The F22 was cancelled in favor of the NGAD which is 6th Generation. The F35 is to replace the F16, the A10, the AV8 and, in some mission profiles, the A6. It is more ground attack than air combat. Unlike the F22 the F35 is still in production and...

Dogfighting is about positioning. The turning on someone's tail to stay there, like in Top Gun, is just Hollywood being Hollywood. The wing loading of the TR1/U2 is the lowest of any current military aircraft at 40 lb/sq ft (200 kg/m2). It is a jet powered glider, but it isn't all that...

Dog fighting is all about positioning for a shot and always has been. The difference between WWII and now happened in 1954 with the introduction of the Sidewinder. All that changed was what you were shooting. :)

I was looking at the F16 or F/A18 compared to the F14 or the P51 compared to the P47 or P38. Wing loading not wing area would be the aerospace engineering term. While they can correlate it doesn't tend to, due to drag and structural integrity. If it did the TR-1 (formerly known as the U2)...

Wing area doesn't necessary translate to maneuverability.

I'm not seeing a reason to have the Scorpious instead of having 2 Sabres, 2 Hornets or even 2 Hawks. And my better half and I have, between us, two Hawks and will finish out the CCU chain for the second Sabre before too long. (Two Sabres hit the same, two Hawks or two Hornets hit harder than a...

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18124-Q-A-RSI-Scorpius I wouldn't count on it. Especially not soon. My Vanguard with 4 MVSA and a Deadbolt V hits harder than 8 panthers on this thing, without the Vanguard turret. :)

The Vanguard is a front line, military, long range, multi-role combat fighter. The Hurricane is a civilian version of a short ranged military, single purpose, carrier fighter. The Scorpius is a short ranged single purpose militia fighter. They are all two seat fighters. The Super Hornet is...

They told us more fragile than a Super Hornet and less maneuverable than a Hurricane. That is where I expect it to be.

Repeaters (Ballistic or Laser) S1-4 are 1400 m/s. Everything else is 700m/s, to include the MVSA. :)

Rule of cool, no more. If it still has its small components it should be cheaper to operate than a Freelancer. Its competitors are the Nomad, the Titan, the Reliant Core and the 300 series. Of course that also makes it carrier fighter range. So for carrying stuff around a single planetary...

My Warden is loaded with MVSA in the Nose and a Deadbolt V under the nose. I don't have issues with ammo speed and the burst DPS is insane. Most missions use about 5-10 rounds out of 70. But The Deadbolt is on trigger 2.

It says EMP charges not missiles. The difference between charges, the devices currently in use and missiles has never been defined, by CIG.

If we are going with something like that, I prefer either of these. Or

They haven't met my Eclipse. :)

It was only offered that one time. My favorite is still the video of the guy that dropped the Tonk into the hangar bay.

Coincidentally the C8x is $45. So for the same price you could have a Carrack with a C8 and a C8x.

My Liberator is enough. A Bounty Hunting kit for my Vanguard would be a good choice too.

If they would let us buy a Pegasus and started showing actual progress, I would consider it.
