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.

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. :)

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Earlier Macross seasons where more realistic, but I trhink it was because animating more missiles cost to much  :thumbsup:
Gundam does the same thing...
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

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.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

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.  ;)
