Your Nation's Air Force Mark II:

does this qualify as a mech? If not then this is mine, you can all keep your stone-age weaponry.

Mirage 4000 could take them all on.

And win.

Without even trying

In space.

[Transnapastain]

In what way could TIE Interceptors, Imperial I, or Imperial II (I can't tell the difference) star destroyers, the Executer, and the second Death Star, be considered mechs?

[Spirit of Hope]

He went in the ground combat vehicle thread and got yelled at for posting an AT-AT, he didn't think it counted as a mech.

Ah.

Mecha is a science fiction genre that centers on robots or machines controlled by people. These machines vary greatly in size, shape, and appearance. Some are little more than cars with arms and legs, while others are giant humanoid constructs.

I guess AT-AT's do count as mechs.

Anyways... Airplanes...and spacecraft!

[The Corparation]

Quick Doodle of a Carrier based Nuclear Strike aircraft, roughly comparable to the Vigilante

Intended for nuclear strike, later adopted for EW, Recon, and Conventional Strike missions. ALBM Platform entered trials but was not accepted for operational use aboard carriers.
IC will be expensive, complex and be constantly plagued by political troubles. For example, while designated as an attack aircraft due to the Navy not being allowed the use of strategic bombers, the fact it was intended for strikes against strategic targets led to a requirement that it be staffed exclusively by AF Crews when carrying nuclear weapons despite operating off carriers. May or may not have it so that IC the Navy removed them from carrier service handing them of to the AF to be flown exclusively from land bases.

So I've been using the HAL Tejas as my primary fighter alongside the Su-35. Have I been making a terrible mistake or is the Tejas good to go when compared to similar aircraft?

[NewLakotah]

So I've been using the HAL Tejas as my primary fighter alongside the Su-35. Have I been making a terrible mistake or is the Tejas good to go when compared to similar aircraft?

The Tejas is fine in a support role to a air superiority fighter, which can easily be filled by the Su-35. The Tejas is a light fighter and not designed for heavy combat usage like most air superiority fighters. It also depends on the numbers that you deploy for each, but it isn't a bad choice though I would make sure my air superiority fighters are given the edge when it comes to funding.

Heavy combat usage

Light fighters are meant for heavy combat.

The USAF wouldn't have 1,200 of them if they weren't.

Your model can have dual 30mms.

I'm saving weight on the other hand.

Our country is working on that, athough we have radar installations all over the country.

I almost forgot:

in grim futur there is only 1 gun ;~;

like i said some other variants will have 2 guns, but the French only has 1

I'm making a super modern Hawker Hunter w/ all four 30mm guns.

The Tejas is fine in a support role to a air superiority fighter, which can easily be filled by the Su-35. The Tejas is a light fighter and not designed for heavy combat usage like most air superiority fighters. It also depends on the numbers that you deploy for each, but it isn't a bad choice though I would make sure my air superiority fighters are given the edge when it comes to funding.

Heavy combat usage

Light fighters are meant for heavy combat.

The USAF wouldn't have 1,200 of them if they weren't.

The USAF doesn't have any light fighters though. As far as I know the only major military that operates a light fighter is India.

No, its was developed off the light fighter program but is actually classified as a medium multirole fighter. The F-5 is the last (and sorta) used US light fighter.

Damn.

Damn.

While it might technically be a light fighter and so therefore could be wrong, I'm pretty sure that it is actually classified as a medium multirole day fighter.
