SR-71

[+Spectre_USA 7]

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...

 

[+NGHENGO 14]

How about the Fatemobile? See the little canon on the front?

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!

Not to mention that the MiG-31 Firefox would finally meet its match!!!

I think those cartoons were heavily influenced by this Jack Lemmon / Tony Curtis movie:

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.

Yes it would. One of the last projects developed under the assumption that the Soviets would send waves of supersonic bombers against us.

Perhaps to counter this (well, things like it):

[SkyStrike 15]

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...

I've wanted a Sukhoi T-4 ever since SFP1 came out. Mix a B-58 and an XB-70!

Nobody has ever made a sim based on ancient flying machines...why not...

[Caesar 305]

Or grape-shot "flak"...fired out of a culverin...

 

On topic: I'd love an SR-71!

Ah...a 'steampunk' scenario?

 

I'm still bummed we haven't had a good follow up to a Crimson Skies beginning...

And I suggested some fooling around with WWI designs... guess people are just too serious here

 

SR-71 flies fast. This thing flies high

Any in-game flak that can reach 21500m?

[Viggen 643]

That the Mayachisckev (how the hell do you spell that?) M-55 Mystic?

[Gr.Viper 131]

WE spell it easily cause in Russian it's got only 7 letters

Yeah, that's M-55. Seen it on MAKS-2007 very close... didn't realise before how huge it is. BTW, I think I got loads of pictures of stuff from that airshow, both mine and some downloaded from torrents (even with video!)... but so far I found the strength only put up >this gallery. Don't get jealous, I did it for EECH team

[JediMaster 451]

All that size is in the wings. Take them off and it's a rather normal-sized plane.

[the test pilot 5]

i'd like many of them.

with double of salt, please

[vulkan 0]

I think it's maybe a most intresting aircraft in the world...

 

SR-71 vs. MiG-31 ? would be........... cool!

Also, if I did make a recon SR-71, would anyone be interested in a fictional strike version with internal weapons bays?

 

Uh. Wrong. They weren't FICTIONAL. They were REAL.

The 6000 "SF" kilometer map size caused the SF Tile Layers Union to walk out on strike.

 

Hopefully, the union will accept an offer of 4000 meter tile size.
