serverandenforcer 33 Posted July 24, 2008 When I was a kid, and saw Top Gun for the first time, and saw how Mav slamed the throttle forward to hit the brakes, even I knew that just seemed wrong. Or how he pushed the stick forward to bolter from the carrier to go after Cougar in the intro, it just didn't seem right to me... and I was 7! That's the one thing that really pisses me off with that movie. The director, producer, or whoever, thought that the general audiance wasn't wise enough to know the up and up of what was going on. It just makes it less enjoyable when it's quite obvious that attention to believability and facts of how things work are thrown out the door just to make a quick mil'. It's like they really didn't want to take the extra effort (which wouldn't have been much) 'cause I and every other audiance member are just not worth it.

JediMaster 451 Posted July 24, 2008 I'm not talking about the Talon's design per se, although a canopy that large is very anti-stealthy and also is not conducive to going Mach 3 (which they were apparently doing at low altitude, in a dive, and still took a long time to go like 5 miles??), nor has anyone built a VG FSW design yet, plus your turn radius at Mach 3 is measured by national borders, not feet! While the Talon didn't LOOK that far off, its capabilities were totally wrong. Plus those helmets were ridiculous. Only Hollywood makes full-face clear-front helmets.

serverandenforcer 33 Posted July 25, 2008 Only Hollywood makes full-face clear-front helmets. Well, what's the point in paying those actors so much money if you can't see their face? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted July 25, 2008 Top Gun managed. The pilots ripped off their masks every chance they got! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
