Quote: There are helicopters that are known to be able to carry and use air-air missiles. The AH-1 and AH-64 can carry the Sidewinders Air-Air Missile. The RAH-66 was to be able to engage in air-air combat as one of its mission profiles when it was selected back in April of 1991 (project was canceled in recent years) by the Army. The O/AH-6 can also carries Stinger missiles for air-air. |

Recent actions with the Apache are mixed.
There are some intersting reads out there.  --------------- This is my "mod-voice". If I post in red, it usually means knock whatever it is off! |

Quote: Its from an Animec Magazine IIRC that included some lineart from Mospeada. I would post if, it I had a scan of it, and if I hadn't lent it to Kevin Siembieda (for use of the Mospeada lineart in the new RPG) back at Palladium Open House.

Never assume any type of aircraft is helpless, just because one is so much better, on paper.
Remember that the first kill of a MiG in Vietnam by American aircraft using guns (as opposed to missiles) was a shared kill by two A-1 SKYRAIDERS!!!! ************************************

I like the Logan and the AGACs.
Quote: I believe that the AGACs was a dual purpose design, one for fighting in the atmosphere equiped with a helicopter mode, and the second as a longer range space superioraty mecha. This would explain why we never see the AGACs going to a chopper mode as the space variant are simply not equiped. Again, much like the non-tansformable mecha, and the smaller less complex logan, this theory would seem to fit with the idea that the ASC was trying to get the most bang for its buck. |

Quote: Going with a smaller fighter is also a smart move when you make the assumption that your forces would have numerical superiority. While your forces have cheaper machinery, their effectiveness is not sacrificed as much with larger numbers. I suppose this is correct since the UEF forces were able to attrit (wear down) a lot of the Masters' capability IMO. |
