why not?
>>65189073Too much shit on it. Typical Hollywood.
>>65189097it even has the tiny little James Bond missiles
>>65189073The retarded intermeshing contrarotating lifting fan setup would stall out.
>those fuckass heli blades1 hour in the air, 25,000 hours in the shop.
>>65189073Because hollywood is fucking stupid and only needs to make shit look cool. This doesn't even look cool.
I'm reminded of the Sparrowhawk from Halo
>>65189073Gets shredded by archers.https://files.catbox.moe/7apeo0.gif
>>65189073Having the rotor shrouded like that in the wing will probably produce high drag and stall when at high angles of attack
>>65189073These things are only made so that savages can effortlessly mog them, neytiri in particular
>>65189073needs cloak
>>65189073That looks badass! What are those boxes under the wing?
who copied who?
>>65190192You mean the hexagons? Looks like rocket pods.
>>65190435Those turbofans remind me of Airwolf.
>>65190450The ones beside the hexagons
>>65190604Is the blank space in this image meant to represent it flying?
>>65189073There are better options
>>65190435That looks suspiciously like an endgame unit from SMAC.
>>651890731) Disc loading2) Unnecessary drag
>>65189174When your primary targets are unarmoured fauna, micro-missiles will do fine.
>>65189073fuel exists and is the main limit of most aircraft, big props are way more efficient than a bunch of little ones, and if you build it right it can still be very agile
>>65190604beacon missiles for tulkun hunting
>>65191798Pandora has 20% less gravity and 20% more atmosphere, which makes hovering more efficient. The ducted rotors are also better for flying around trees.Considering how often these craft get defeated by top attacks, you'd think they would have something on the roof to defend against it.
>>65190776I forgot to fill in the background with New Mombasa
>>65191396>will do fine.No, they won't. No credits, no fauna victory.
>>65191910ducted rotors are worse for trees because they cant trim their own clearance and hitting a tree regardless is still going to throw your ass offmore atmosphere also means more drag, less gravity would help but thats also physically complete bullshit. either way, a big rotor is still way better in the same scenariobet this guy doesnt know his collective from his cyclic
>>65192008Double check >>65191396 and notice how the rotors have cable cutters on the front. These aircraft regularly flew underneath tree canopies to reach landing zones. Helicopter blades would be fucked up fast by random branches and vines, while the rotors with cable cutters can push through them.>more atmosphere also means more drag,Yes, hence the preference for hovering flight. It's not like Pandora had runways for planes, either.>less gravity would help but thats also physically complete bullshit No it isn't. The planet just has a denser atmosphere because it's 18% CO2.
>>65189073>out of center overlapping rotorsImagine noise. Imagine the vibrations.
