+Spectre_USA 7 Posted February 26, 2008 Sure it does, diamond or square. As to the origins, C5, of what? The "Fatemoblie?" I am fairly confident this is the 1st time in my 48 years I have ever clapped eyes on it. But that may be due to my not being a Cheesehead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+NGHENGO 14 Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) How about the Fatemobile? See the little canon on the front? Sure it does, diamond or square. As to the origins, C5, of what? The "Fatemoblie?"

JediMaster 451 Posted February 26, 2008 The A-12 was a single-seat Blackbird flown by the CIA, it didn't do attack. That was the LATER A-12 that was known as "the Flying Dorito" that was canceled by Cheney in 1990 or so. The YF-12 was an interceptor IR tracker/radar/missile armed fighter with internal missile bays. That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers!

That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers! Not to mention that the MiG-31 Firefox would finally meet its match!!!

Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted February 26, 2008 Jedi:: The YF-12 was an interceptor IR tracker/radar/missile armed fighter with internal missile bays. That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers! pffft. Best used in waves of penetration fighter to keep strike corridors clean of hostile interceptors like MiG-25s or Tu-128s (WIP). If an F-12 misses a target or two, it should keep going like Durcacell Bunny as more F-12s come up behind fully armed. You can't slow down and dogfight in something like this, its one shot per PVO pony and then onto other ponies. But then any PVO interceptors if they are turned from their target, will then never catch their target -- F-12 mission success. I plan to have SAC use a modified B-58 (FB-58? ) for this purpose until F-12 becomes available in numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
column5 63 Posted February 26, 2008 That would be awesome to use against waves of Soviet bombers! Yes it would. One of the last projects developed under the assumption that the Soviets would send waves of supersonic bombers against us. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_YF-12 Perhaps to counter this (well, things like it): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_T-4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyStrike 15 Posted February 26, 2008 U could do a fictional F-14 with Engines like the raptors and canards That's a good idea... perhaps something like a Super Tomcat 21 or QuickStrike F-14... (No Offence), But with canards... NAH.... they don't suit a Tomcat... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
