MENENDEZ!!!! (Replayed BO2 last month, 1st thing that came to my head)

YUUUUUUUUUULIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Funniest fucking level ever.

Not true. The drone gets struck by lightning, the AI goes "haywire" and takes random combat simulation excercises as orders/targets. It doesn't "turn evil".

Whatevs bro. Hokey ass plot contrivance.

What will happen to war movies / TV shows / video games when wars are fought between unmanned planes, tanks, ships, mechs, etc.?

We need unmanned F14's. They can be piloted by T-Rexes.

Bad news.. The fucking Navy scrapped almost all of the Tomcats since Iran also uses them.

Like literally chopped them into pieces and melted them down.

Wow man, just rub salt in my wounds.

Wow man, just rub salt in my wounds.

It's heartbreaking.. They gave a few to navy bases to act as gate guardians and a few to museums. The rest are coke cans.

Don't youtube f-14 scrap unless you want nightmares

 

[The Omega Man]

This is good for the pilots, they'll have more time to play volleyball, at the beach, shirtless.

 

[DY_nasty]

Considering that the vast majority of generals are former pilots with massive egos and the technology/science required for the exact precision of an unmanned drone dogfight to match a manned pilot is decades upon decades away, this shit will never catch on, short of Congress unilarity passing a law making them and even then, they'll find loopholes to make sure the change is as slow as humanly possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tech picked up steam somewhere else first tbh

You're absolutely right about the egos though. Its almost comical.

Those combination of letters will never be typed by me good sir.

 

[hwalker84]

I wonder if unmanned fighters can engage in dogfights? Would there be too much latency?

Please dude..... they're obviously powered by the cloud!

For us Macross Plus fans, look who voices Isamu in the Dub:

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

I don't know how I didn't know that.

 

[Kreunt]

they should do this to f-111's and have them fly around the world doing dump n burns.

Spoiler

i miss the f-111's

 

[lastplayed]

If they had this in Iron Eagle it would have saved a lot of messing about.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Haven't they been doing this for ages?. It how they practice air combat.

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

They need to put a fake T-Rex head in the pilot seat then fly out over Iran. That'll put them in their place.

 

[Watevaman]

F22's can pull 9Gs on hard turns with conscious pilots. Imagine scarier.

I'm pretty sure the 9G limit is a structural load limit. As in, unless they design a new plane that can take a heavier stress, then you'll never be able to turn pushing more than 9Gs.

But, I may be wrong.

 

[Phat Michael]

wait...Walter White did Isamu Dysons voice???????

 

[Nikodemos]

dead pilots will have their Brain/mind/whatever downloaded onto the plane's computer or something....

I played that game. Wasn't bad.

That is an iconic plane. But someone did say earlier in thread that US military decommissioned and scrapped most of their f-14s.

I say they should have atleast tried to convert them into mechabots or something.

Well only us and our allies have them AFAIK...but we don't even use the F-14 anymore.

 

[Mook1e]

Interesting. China did this first, unless this is just old.
With their MIG-21/F-7 fleet.

You are. The F-22 itself can take itself far beyond 9Gs. 9G is the theoretical HUMAN limit (unless we have augmentations down the line inside the bloodstream that increases this limit). The Raptor itself has built in sensors that make sure the pilot, no mattter how much he tries goes beyond G-Forces that will, ultimately, cause his/her death.

And ironically enough, our current drones can't take Gs for shit, at least when compared to our manned fighters both human and theoretical structural limits.

What the fuck did they think the Iranians were going to do? Waltz in the desert storage and tow the mothballed Tomcats away?

 

[Timedog]

best jet fighter ever

Lol, your move, Google.

He was in Wings of Honnemaise too.

Yes. Since at least the 1946 when we developed B-17 drones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Experimental_Guided_Missiles_Group

Black market parts.
Military Logistics personnel are notoriously corrupt.

Just curious then, what is the load limit for the structure? At what G level will the wings break at their joint or otherwise compromise the integrity of the plane?

 

[Josh7289]

Technically speaking, this is super impressive.
