(Sign-up) Ace Combat: Redemption Dawn

[Nimbus]

Oops... thanks for the catch. Now I'm messing up my own tiers!

[Puynsi]

Could you give me a list regarding tiers and stuff... you know to have a refference

[Nimbus]

Yep. Consider Tier 1 to be basically aircraft built before the late 1980s, with a few exceptions. Tier 2 aircraft are high-performance fighters usually built in the late 80s or later. Tier 3 aircraft are modern stealth and high-maneuverability aircraft like the SU-47 and F-22, and includes prototypes like the YF-23 and Boeing Bird of Prey. In addition, tier 3 includes all original Ace Combat fighters like the ADF-01, ADFX-02, CFA-44, etc.

[Dark Hooves]

how's about we have to deal with some unmanned X-02 Wyverns later on?

like on the arcade mode on AC 5 where you fly as Mobius One solo through all the missions and on the final mission you face off against unmanned X-02s

[Nimbus]

I think that'd be cool. If you'd like to come up with other enemy aces you are free to do so. I just have to approve them before we use them.

[Dark Hooves]

How's about Indigo (knight), Grun (soldier), and Rot (mercenary) squadrons from AC Z.

[Nimbus]

Well, the Belkan War was several years ago, so most of them are either civilians, dead, or in hiding from what I remember.

[Dark Hooves]

Ahh right, I forgot about that. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'll think of something, just give me time. Also may I come up with a completely new and original experimental aircraft for my OC to use. It will be a gen 6 prototype like the special aircraft from the ace combat series and become available around the same time as the other gen 6 aircraft.

[Nimbus]

Sweet! I was kinda leaning towards everyone getting some kind of original aircraft (Feisler's going to end up with the YF-34 when that rolls out, though it's available to everyone). It's always cool to see what others can come up with. You might want to add the weapons system that will be revealed soon, too... *evil laugh*

[Dark Hooves]

Mine will be called the (Super Multi-Function Interceptor) SMFIX-01 Ravenhawk, it will be powered be conventional turbofan engines and scram jets for exoatmospheric flight. It will be armed with a 25mm 6 barreled phalanx cannon, aim 9x sidewinder missiles, amraams, and a tactical laser system. The aircraft will have thrust vectoring and heat shields for re-entering the atomsphere.

AMRAAMs are advanced medium range air to air missiles (AMRAAM)

[Puynsi]

Then I would love one armed with 4 swarm heat-guided missile launchers, 1 main very heavy Pak cannon, another 2 paks but lighters, an alloy hull with improved heat and G-force resistant, an electronic missile interceptor, and a system placed by the sides of the plane that allows a burst of impulse to the sides for emergency cases.

I still would need to think HOW it will be so I will leave this for later inspection and stuff

[Nimbus]

By the way- if you two can describe your fighters in detail (what features they have, how many seats, tails, engines, direction of wing sweep, airplanes they look similar to, etc) I could draw them out if you'd like.

[Dark Hooves]

The SMFIX-01 Ravenhawk has forward sweeping variable geometry wings, 2 seats one for pilot and one for the weapons operator, 2 sets of engines: four turbofan engines and three scram jets, the shape is similar to the Falken but it is bigger and the four turbofans sit on top of the rear of the aircraft, the scram jets are underneath the rear of the aircraft, it will be colored like the space shuttles because of the heat shielding tiles covering the aluminum skin. This fighter has two vertical tail surfaces at the same angel as the X-02 which lay flat when the variable geometry wings fold closed. All the weapons are carried internally which gives the aircraft some stealth characteristics.

[Nimbus]

I'll get right on it, then!

[Dark Hooves]

Here is an enemy craft designed by me which I think would be a quite cumbersome adversary.



In case you can't read my writing here is the information on the craft. (OOC only)

Aircraft Stats:

VS air 99
VS ground 99
Speed 86
Mobility 99
Defense 48
Stability 40

Design elements:

Unmanned aircraft
Thrust Vectoring
Forward Sweeping Variable Geometry Wings
Prototype Fusion Core Engines

Armaments and Equipment:

X2 20mm Vulcan

X1 Point Defense Laser Array

The only thing that will be known in the rp is that it is an unknown fighter aircraft.

[Nimbus]

That's awesome! If it goes into the rp, we'll only be able to have one, since Sotoa isn't very technologically advanced, and it won't show up until later. Awesome fighter, and good job!

[Dark Hooves]

Thanks

[Puynsi]

Awesome draw! ... We are in the thin line between Aircraft and Armored Modules thought...

[Nimbus]

Also, I posted in the RP a while back, just a heads-up

[Dark Hooves]

I went and drew a copy of it and colored it with colored pencils.
