+Gr.Viper Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 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. 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. Quote
mdatelmi Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 very cool designs! The last model (last two shots) remind me a "props A-10" ...an A/G version will be interesting! Some model-kits an die-cast..and other cool stuff...here: http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?searchpage=to...d=sky%20crawler Quote

+Spillone104 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Here a couple of vids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llqoqei-k1Y Ok this is a total what-if (sci-fi) but seeing the aircraft manouvers like in the film Sthealt.... well for me it loose some points. Overall it seems good. Quote
TX3RN0BILL Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 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? Quote
the test pilot Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited May 3, 2009 by the test pilot Quote

Hans Topp Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 I read that is a entertainment for the public, something like gladiators in the roman time. Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 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. Quote
FalconC45 Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Any idea if the anime would come in the states? Falcon Quote
