Wasn't there mention of a night raven for the film awhile back? I might have already said that...
Yes, new, but very reminiscent of the classic RAH version.
Quote:
I sincerely hope Hasbro eliminates the forward wing sweep + landing gear drop issue. I sawed the wheels off when I was 5 so the Striker could dogfight.
Hell yea man, me too! Plus, having it on its gear with its wings swept back makes it more realistic for storage, and I can recreate the climactic scene from Top Gun where Maverick boards his Tomcat for his fateful dogfight over the ocean.
With the F-22s ability to engage enemy targets beyond the curvature of the earth, there is no way for any countries fighters, let alone Cobra fighters to even get close enough to count in a fight.
The F-14's Phoenix missle has longer range than the F-22's AMRAAM.
Quote:
The F-22 can engage 100+ targets and destroy as many as it has ammunition for.
Whoa...no it can't, where did you read that from? It can track far less than that. Maybe 30 targets+ can be tracked, but full air to air missle load is 16 missles, which uses the 8 outer hardpoints therefore renders stealth compromised, and then the less than 1,000 rounds of ammunition in its gun canister.
Quote:
Going against F-15s and F-18s, the equivalents to any foreign fighter, the F-22 has never lost.
Wrong, in 06 I believe, during a mock dogfight, a F/A-18F Super Hornet pilot got a guns kill on an F-22, the HUD footage was posted all over the internet. Another test would be to face off against the SU-30MKI.
Quote:
In toy world that leaves little reason for Cobra to field an air force.
The Night Raven was stealth to begin with, so Cobra had something going for it all along. Not to mention stealth is only effective at a distance, an if no external stores are carried. At a close enough range, the aircraft is vulnerable to SAMS and radar targeting by the enemy. The Joes did not get their F-22(Thunderwing), til 04 and even then it had a huge pod mounted underneath, which renders stealth ineffective.
Quote:
As i mentioned, Cobra would have a small force of MIG-29s (cause they look cool for me and they are the most modern) for air patrol around their borders, and intercept roles.
The new Rattler scheduled for either Robot Rebellion or DTC was based on the MIG-29.
