@PINK awesome.... speed with stealth and ecm is the answer.
@MadBomber The LPF-1, is small and also able to follow land features, and carries even a large electronic suit.
@MadBomber We also use very powerful electronics . . . . and speed.
@PINK During the cold War very high speed bombers like the American XB-70 Valkyrie mach 4ish bomber were cancelled in favor of slower more terrain hugging or more stealthy bombers such as the B-1 and B-2 as the high flying high speed aircraft could not survive modern Surface to air missile systems and interceptors. They found that to be seen was to be dead so much more emphasis was put on stealth and electronic warfare capablities to remain unseen.
@MadBomber In the role play, we have introduction bombers that can go over 3,000 mph, and many fighters can also achieve those speeds.
@PINK I have plans down the road for a very high speed interceptor though.
@PINK It depends :) Modern fighters typically do about mach 2 at altitude but in simple planes your right there are planes that would go by them like they were standing still lol.
@MadBomber In other words, TOO SLOW!!
@PINK My fighters typically do about 1,000+ mph at altitude.
@MadBomber How fast your planes be, not this one do?
@ BogdanX thanks
@MadBomber Welcome!
@ PINK thanks
