[quote=@Silverwind Blade] That was supposed to imply that yes, they can pull a lot more G's that us, and corner a lot more sharply and unpredictably. I.e., they are dangerous. So, how do [i]you[/i] suggest I show that instead? [/quote] Although a bit time-consuming to write, a case-by-case summary of how each of the surviving fighters respond, in order to give emphasis on [i]why[/i] they're behaving this way, and what they're trying to do in the process would have painted a clearer picture of what is happening. -Suitability: Just because they [i]can[/i] behave this way, doesn't mean they get a free-pass to do-so whenever. Most people don't Rockford their cars out of the driveway... Although TBH [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pruex3pgX1g]it is frigg'n cool to watch on TV[/url]. Whether this was a clue to their (specific) piloting ability, or some quirk of alien engineering was just an OOC speculation. I suppose it's even to presume their ground-vehicles [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut71Sxyy98U]are of similar capabilities[/url]? "More graceful than 23,000 tons of flintsteel has any right to be" ~Bolo. ~goes back to double-check how to format a proper 9-line. (kind used to British Hurricanes vs Daleks types of severe-overmatch, anything less is a welcome surprise) Since Ranger 2 is down/out, may try and re-introducing a Chinese contingent. Due to the alt-timeline, JF-17s and whatnot aren't available yet. But J-7L and J-7G2s would be.
