@JohnnyBoythePilot Well, I never liked cartoons, even as a kid. Hard SF novels were always more my thing. And the aesthetics of anime just put me off for a number of reasons. These days I'm more into nonfiction anyway.
@SledDriver
Me neither. I first learned about it from Ace Combat Fan, and then I decided to dig deeper into the series and found a pretty good English dub on Dailymotion (got removed though). Instantly got hooked, and after I finished the anime, I got the book, which is FAR better than the anime, and the lore IMHO is better than Ace Combat since its actually realistic. The author of the original novel also graduated from Nagaoka National College of Technology, so he knows a thing or two about technology & engineering, especially aerospace & future technologies, which means the book is very accurate in those regards.
@AWESOMENESS360 Yeah, it's definitely one of the better books I've read about combat flying. It's called "Stealth Fighter," by Lt. Col. William O'Connor.
@Jetspeed1001 yeah I was only joking lol, I literally have the uncontrollable urge to completely annihilate the convoy or any destructible entity in the game once I’m given the ability to do so, it relieves stress lol
Let's be a little less sanctimonious, shall we... "I feel the need to bomb something" is, I'm sure, meant in the same spirit of excitement and adventure as when Maverick said "I feel the need... the need for speed."
Furthermore, you seem to think that bombing anything is bad. What if it's a production facility for chemical weapons? Or a practice target? Or a terrorist base? If I was a bomber pilot, I'd feel a very strong need to bomb all those things.
I'm currently reading a book by a former F-117 pilot. Without exception, his and other pilots' reaction to a good hit goes like this:
My spontaneous outburst, caught on tape, was on the order of “Holy s---!” and then lots of unrecognizable hooting and hollering.
@AWESOMENESS360 i mean, anytime i see a B-17G i feel the need to bomb something. a 250lb bomb a day keeps the sauerkraut away as i like to say after all
@Rawhide An astute deduction.
You seem to like to bomb things

@JohnnyBoythePilot Oh. I've never been into anime, so...
@SledDriver
The aliens from the novel/anime Yukikaze.
@JohnnyBoythePilot What's the JAM?
Your latest builds strongly remind me of the JAM.

The king of percision.

@SledDriver oh my god SledDriver I was joking lmao
That book does sound like a good read though, the F-117 was always one of my favorites.
@SpiritusRaptor Wait are you back from your hiatus? Or have I just been really ignorant this entire time?

Should they all see psychiatrists?
@SpiritusRaptor I know, right?
Man you do some cool stuff!!!!

@Treadmill103 If you feel the need to bomb something then maybe you should call a doctor.
Or a psychiatrist.
Why it looks so yellow/ gold
Noice video. Can’t wait to see the plane.
@sheepsblood Thank you :) I'll post it (or something with the same capabilities) tomorrow.
Amazing amazing build

Lovely
Thanks, @Treadmill103. I could post it right now if you like :)
