So, you think your fighter carries a lot of missiles?

Could not stop laughing at this.  If planes had this capability, the guys who designed AEGIS would just commit seppukku.

That is just total overkill

I may have built planes with more

[Silver Fox]

Hmmm... using guided 2.75" rockets, either GPS or SALH (Semi Active Laser Homing), we can actually come pretty close. Not much punch... but a Hornet rippling off 8 36-shot CRV7 pods would be pretty spectacular.

You know, the scary thing is, 'e's not even kiddin'!

Macross is notorious for missile-spamming.

[Joe C-P]

My PLANE is FIGHT!

[puddingwrestler]

Earlier Macross seasons where more realistic, but I trhink it was because animating more missiles cost to much 
Gundam does the same thing...

Saudi & Kuwaiti EE Lightnings could carry a potential 192 rockets each.  Not guided I know, but that's quite a wallop & I think it beats the Macross suit without counting all the missiles.

Not bad admittedly, but ladies and gents, I give you the VF-25S APS-25A/MF25 Armored Messiah

Bombs & Missiles:
116 micro-missiles in 2 x HMM-5A Mobile Remington micro-missile CIWS launcher pods featuring 2 x micro-missile launcher pods each (40 mounted in two CIWS torso launcher pods; 76 mounted in two CIWS shoulder launcher pods)

128 micro-missiles in 4 x Remington Close-Range Micro-Missile Launcher Pods, Double-Loaded Type (64 mounted in four leg launchers; each launcher holds 2 loads of missiles for a total of 128 micro-missiles)

30 x 200mm anti-armor high-initial velocity rockets in 2 x Howard 15-tube launcher pods (mounted outboard in coverless launchers)

4 x outboard hardpoints for 4-8 large-size anti-ship reaction missiles

(244 Micro-Missiles!!!)

Mind you, that was just the missiles and bombs section.  This thing is a nightmare!  http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/vf-25s-fullarmor.htm

Got to admit, that is impressive!  No such thing as too much firepower!!!

If I ever get around to making another macross model, I now know what the nose slogan is going to be, so thanks.
