Thank you. Hopefully I can make some head way on the Jalthi I have been tring to build.

Thanks I'll see what I can do. Hows this?

Well B-17 wasn't what I was looking for, but i see you point. My refernce image really didn't give a good look at exactly where the cockpit windows are. https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/File:Wc1hhriss4.gif

The WC1 Rapier is the Firefox.

That look alot better then the movie version. :D

I don't think the windows are glass. It is probably some kind of balistic transparent plasteal. Broadswords are in my mind far better ship hunters but in an atmosphere that size and bulky shape is going to work against them. Besides without knowing all the ground attack missiles we cant judge...

I don't think that the nose is as big a weakness as you think. Also it is likly that ground attack missions would requier different ordinace then a traditional cap ship strike. Of the 4 known bombers and strike fighters from that time frame Longbow has by far the most solid looking spaceframe...

Looks like a cross between a movie broadsword and a privateer Galaxy. Interesting take. :)

Love it! Hey have you seen these 2 fighters before? They are the 2 SWC confed fighters that never got reused any where

Maybe the Thunderbolt and Hellcat where designed with ground attack inmind instead of being pure space fighters. I seam to remember somthing from WC1 or 2 warning pilots not get drawn into atmo fighting as there fighters wheren't design to survive atmopheric overpressure from weapson fire. The...

I read somewhere the the Longbow was based on an older shuttle spaceframe to speed development time. As I recall though it the history took the thought process the Longbow was competting head to head with the Crossbow to replace the Broadsword. I think it was fanon but can't recall where I read...

Yea the way they switch back and forth is what make nailing down a system dificault. On the Bloodfang the only problem I see is that by name the fighter is over 10 years old. For a wartime fighter thats a really long development process. Thats probaly the main reason I would lean in the...

Actualy that point of all of it was that without acuate translations of the Kilrathi names it is impossible to definativly prove ether side right or wrong. Your idea is well thought out and my idea is well thought out but the the key evidence which is the names is uninterpretable at this time...

Nothing to appologise for. Real life is the bane of all programers and modders :)

Any idea when that will be?

Well there are 2 possibilities. 1 Thrakhath lets his ego get in the way of good since and they don't have the ability to over rule him. 2 Thrakhath prefers to use them as personal agents and sends them off to do things like watch commanders he doen't actualy trust in which case they could be...

I like all of the except the Rapier, but then again I never liked the movie version fighters. Not your fault. I just don't see how the can realistcly hold all the equipment they are suppose to according to the fluf. Corsair and Wildcat are great. Other then the engine change I'm not sure what...

Well I quoted that to let you all know were I'd seen the info. Credable or not a bodygaurd squadron does make a certain amount of since for someone of Thrakhath's position. If such a unit exists it follows that they would also have Bloodfangs. Again this is just conjecture, but I think is...

Modern stealth aircraft have paint that absorbs radar wave to help with their steath abilities. In Star Trek the paint on ships also absorb harmful EM spectra to help protect the crew from radiation. It is likly that WC ship paint coud also serve a simalar function. Oh course there is one other...

Because the guys that made the game where Americans and fans of the US military. It makes sence that the knowledge they already had would influnce the creation of these new systems. Ok can you translate any of thoughs names into english? I can't and without knowing what they actually mean...
