Macross Zero Shin vs Nora 3

[MrAlextation]

The idea of a variable fighter really is pretty interesting. I hope they really do develop one in my lifetime. 

[Viper6454]

@MrAlextation That'll never happen you people are to naive and arrogant you miss use and abuse tech and information in so many ways there is no way anyone of you can actually begin too understand how to fly a plane like that you idiots would crash it in a split second due to you're retarded nature and poor judgement and reflexes. You people will never see and understand things clearly at all anymore. If not prove that wrong then all i gotta say to how pathetic people are now a days

[3scapistHD]

@Viper6454 ...holy hell where did that come from? lol

[originalprieto2000]

@MrAlextation you are not goin too see it ,sorry

[ordinaryk]

It's 2012. Where the hell etc.

[Maupin001]

The Russians refer to maneuvering solely on vectored thrust as "post-maneuverability."

[Littlered188]

What variable fighter is shin flying?

[bcross4]

Very nice dogfight !

[FlayvorOfEvil]

They've invested all of the research into Gundams. That's why we don't have Variable Fighters.

[aussiebear22]

Super-maneuverability demonstrated in anime!

[Helldiver450]

Um guys, if you look at the f-22 raptor's propulsion system and thrust vectors, it's identical to the one of the VF-fighters.

MAKE IT TRANSFORM ALREADY YOU STUPID FUCKERS!

[mksr12]

Her voice and the extreme danger of the situation gave me wood. Amazing considering the height and the lack of trees.

[DennisTPedersen]

its soon 2012 and the world as we know it, will end ;-).

[shoangore]

It's 2011. Where the hell are our variable fighters?!?!

[mobius1aic]

Extremely unrealistic, but highly enjoyable :P

[Barricade]

@mobius1aic

Actually the F-22 is just that maneuverable, except it can't transform obviously. Outside of that, yes, it can do every maneuver you just saw.

[mobius1aic]

@Barricade At those speeds, the g-forces would be too high not just for the pilots but for the structural integrity of the aircraft. As per the close in thrust vector scene, normal thrust vectoring does not exert that kind of exacting control the aircraft to let them just spin about themselves. The loss in airspeed would occur much quicker too. You would need massively powerful engines too that provide thrust to counter the sheer losses in energy incurred by aerodynamics and maneuvering.

[evirustheslaye]

@mobius1aic you're forgetting about over technology... this was almost ten years after reverse engineering technology from a crashed alien spaceship.

[Yukikazehalo]

@mobius1aic

those aircraft dont have enough thrust to pull serious G's, though you are right in that they would loose huge amounts of airspeed every time they pulled some abrupt maneuver.

[fealmor]

hey what happened after this scene ? who won!?

[StingerSix]

Best dogfight ever!



[pinoi78]

It's 2010. Where the hell are our variable fighters?!?

[wewyllenium]

@pinoi78 : In a different dimension probably. :D

[GhostEye187]

@pinoi78 Well, the economy went bullshit.

[CarolusMagnus2501]

@pinoi78

An alien spaceship never crash-landed on the earth, and thus, the UN never tried to take control of the world to form a unified defense. And there was never a global civil war between the UN and anti-UN forces, leading the deaths of millions.

Cobra manuver

[yjfoo81]

I love this part!
