An anime with an incredible amount of high-quality 3D graphics and a vague, almost abscent storyline. So, very Yukikaze-ish in a sense.

The thinking behind plane designs is pretty obvious - if it's a pusher, it's cool. And no one's bothered that the only guy flying with a tractor prop can kill anyone.

 

No way am I making this mod. :rolleyes: Just a heads-up for those who might. The anime itself is worth watching only for combat scenes (IMHO). Maneuvers make sense, aerodynamics is more or less respected, wreckage is cool... Although there are no ground attack scenes.

Only one plane type gets most attention - the coax-prop pusher. If you can't think of a weird plane design, rip off from Germans and Japanese.

Some pics of what is there. :crazy:

Don't think I'd be overstating if I'd say this is a Crimson Skies' fan's wet dream come true... almost... Anybody got any idea what those planes are? And what the single "normal" fighter is?

i think they are all fictitious, but the single-engined puller seems to be a bit like some japanese prototypes from wwII

 

 

and, btw, what do you have aganist pusher props? XD

 

 

seriously, the first aircraft i've ever flown for real is a pusher, and the ride has been quite nice.

The premise is that two futuristic corporations/teams fight one another in the air, presumably, over some designated areas. Battles are broadcast as an entertainmnent show with scores etc. Pilots are sort of expendable: they're genetically engineered (and probably cloned) to stop aging process in their late teens, so they can only die if killed. Which happens to them a lot, but some go bonkers earlier.
