/k/ - Weapons

there are a couple other mini ground attack aircraft designs of the time, but none as cool looking.

the aerodynamics look completely functional, though I'm not sure about the in-swept vertical stabilizers.

actually Macross Plus was released in 1994 so the VF-11 might have been based on this.

>Poland keeps making these futuristic looking contraptions

First the tank, then the rifle, now the plane

Godspeed Poland

Poland is becoming space. My god.

>>329582

My first thoughts, SD FALKEN.

So they rebooted a once canceled aircraft program?

>>329592

Because when you cannot into space, you

BECOME THE SPACE

>>329582

My first thought.

God speed, Poland!

>>329588

I suspect Poland has secretly found a way to convert coolness into energy.

>>329576

Poland is getting so cool. Now when WWIII breaks out and they have to fight the Germans again, it won't be like the last time. Poland will into space.

>>329923

> Belka was basically nuclear-armed Germany/Poland/Balkans.

Belka sounds like the perfect country.

>>329939

Belka a shit.

>hurr muh clay

>>329958

>and Ace Combat 3 as a whole wouldn't have occurred without Z.O.E/COFFIN technology.

Massive Spoiler: it didn't.

>>329960

Shhh.

>>329961

What was with the shitty international version with the linear plotless cinematicless campaign and the unrealistic performance planes?

Why the fuck NAMCO thought it was a good idea to not just translate the nip version?

>>329968

I never understand why localizers feel the need to mess with stats, but my general assumption when cutting up the story is that "voice actors are expensive".

>>329980

I think it would have countered it by sales.

Not sure about the slaes globally but Ace Combat2 made the franchise and AC3 kind bottomed as an obscure title.

I was fucking hyped to buy the translated (and finally know what the story was about) and then that baka gaijin piece of shit (with the autism triggering Mach6 out of fucking nowhere performance) came and made me not buy a console ever again.

>>329968

AC3 wasn't expected to do very well overseas after its unimpressive Japanese launch, so Namco severely cut back the localization budget.

>>329980

>>329996

How can the nips create so cool stuff when they have such shitty taste?

AC3 was kinda breakthrough in combining elaborate and encapturing storytelling and plot branching (with full anime cutscenes and shot!)'with an off-the-rail FPS/flight simulator.

For fucks shake I could hardly spell sayonara back then and still managed to understand the essence of the plot solely by the convincing voice acting, expressive animated characters and dramatic unfolding.

AC3 had earned a place in my teenhood next to AC2, Castlevania: SotN, Starcraft, Diablo and Sonic&Knuckles*donut judge without even speaking A WORD of the fucking language!

>>330017

Oh, I'm very well aware. My brother is an aspiring voice actor. It still has an impact on the cost of hiring people who have artificially established a rapport with such incestuous hiring practices.

>>330027

Fun fact: The radio static effect used in Ace Combat is just the voices being fed through a guitar amp.

>>330017

Right on, that's why Anthony Burch's sister is getting jobs left and right.

Engines are separate from the body so that there is no heat signature in the body, and thus less damage from heat seeking missiles to the body itself.

Between the body and the engine is a thicker inner wing, which can bear the aircraft aloft given it drops the ordnance. The outer wings serve mostly for extra lift.

One downside of the scorpion is that it has too few and too small control surfaces, which is inexcuseable for an aircraft meant to fly at low altitude. Another downside is that the components are not interchangeable from one side of the aircraft to the other, or easily repairable if they should be damaged.

Overall I would say it's similar to the more conventional Boeing Skyfox or the more popular Textron Scorpion (the name is no a coincidence) in capability.

>>330029

>>330034

I remember old Thundercats, Smurfs, Inspector Gadget, Silverhawks, Lady and the Trump and primitive Chinese Cartoon dubs back in the late 80s-early 90s VHS tapes were hundred folds more expressive than the later clique of TV actors that redub'd the same cartoons and all Disney's shit after the later half of the 90s.

The laterfags stopped being good after Aladdin. Swear to God, these literal faggots could only act one character (themselves).

I blame the Lavender Conspiracy for that.

>>329958

>but 90% of the series' superweapons are based on Belkan advancements

Maybe if Belka spent less time and resources on superweapons they might have actually won some wars?

>>330054

I dunno. Every superweapon seems to have been an instant-win button against everything that wasn't the protagonist. I think their strategy was a winning one. But nothing beats plot armor.

>>330057

>nothing beats plot armor

I think when it came to AC Superweapons outmaneuvering the Excalibur's/Aigion's long range weaponry made more sense than winning 1 vs 100 dogfights against fighter aircraft of equal or slightly better technological level just because you were so damn good (while multi-player game easily proves that you are not). There was never a good explanation while enemy pilots flew worse than drunk Arabs (except maybe AC2/AHL and maybe infinity where the majority of pilots could be assumed being rugclad rebels with two hours of pilot training).

>>330065

>someone painted camo on it

>to blend in with small mountains

>>330075

On what? I just see a floating man with some binoculars.

>>330057

>nothing beats plot armor

Maybe that's what the clay is they keep going on about?

>>330081

Don't be silly. He's obviously standing on a floating black cross.

>>330082

/k/ has convinced me plot armor is made of gummy bears not clay.

>>330083

>He's obviously standing on a floating black cross.

KKK finally got pressured to let in ethnic minorities?

>>329576

Thrust Vectoring bro

Turns on a dime, Macross style

Dear Polan

Please do Vic Viper next

>>330088

>>330103

I was just thinking about this one the other day. I'm getting all misty eyed.

>>330103

This thread is so nostalgic.

>>330172

Is it as accurate as this?

>>330190

>Michael Moore

I haven't even watched it and the answer is already 'more' by default.

>>330172

>innocent baby poland stepped on by ukrainians

Forgets to mention Poland enslaved Ukrainians at the time.

>>330190

They're both horribad.

>>330195

I know. The joke is just that Poland gets steamrolled regularly. In fact, they're about due.

It's not like calling a slut "easy as Poland" is a thing for nothing.

>cancelled

my dreams have been ruined

>>330195

>Forgets to mention Poland enslaved Ukrainians at the time.

In their defense being enslaved is Ukrainians favorite past time.

mfw I just found out the Attacker variant of the FALKEN, known as the ADLER, was scooped off Ace Combat 5's cutting room floor and added to Infinity.

It replaces the centerline laser cannon with an internal bay for a cruise missile.

>>329576

psychological warfare?

COOL POWERFUL DANGEROUS SPACE PLANE DON'T INVADE AGAIN THANKS

t. Polish Military

>>330294

The secret of the psychological warfare is

the giant dick of justice strapped to the plane

To do this, I just record a clip of my voice at a sample rate of 48kHz, in stereo (to duplicate the waveform into two channels), then convert the sample type to 11.whatever kHz, run a distortion filter across the whole thing, then flange one side, and merge into monaural sound. I use Cool Edit Pro 2, which is now Adobe Audition. I learned how to do this by trying for years to figure out how the Transformers voice effect was done, albeit in vain, as I haven't yet gotten it to the point where it would be hard to tell if it was done for the show or not. There's a dearth of information on the process, and that was all originally done with analog equipment in the eighties.

Anywho, if you're looking for more spess plen action, check out Yukikaze, an older anime from about ten or so years back. It is most accurately described as "the story of the love between a man, another man, and his airplane".

Though to be accurate, the former is more admiration, and the latter is because of the plane's silent AI.

>>330103

12 fucking years.

What the hell did I do with my life?

>>330017

Nigga can you do some of the famous game monologues?

You could probably pull off some sort of episodic podcast thing. Maybe 15 minute episodes or something. Just thinking out loud.

>>330503

This!

You could also give operators mission briefings.

>>330509

>>330503

I'm gonna go ahead an request a DIE YOU S.O.B.

>>330017

I don't exactly have any sort of projects that would require this at the moment anon, but it would really be pretty awesome to have you as a voice actor in case I actually finalize something.

>>330523

My /r/eq:

>ATTENTION ALL UNITS!

>REMOVE KEBAB FROM PREMISES!

>I REPEAT!

>REMOVE KEBAB FROM PREMISES!

Its obviously a spaceship.

>>330520

>>330534

Only when you guys both team back up can you accomplish it.

>>330370

>Yukikaze

Is there a scene where the guy uses thrust vectoring to fly backwards and shoot down a missile? Because I remember that scene, and a plot arc involving the AI being given full control only for it to act exactly like the pilot would, but I don't remember the FUCKING NAME OF THE ANIME.

>>335536

>>330370

Son of a bitch, I think it is. Thanks, Strelok.

I'm expecting storytime at this point.
