The American wood decked carriers of course carried twice as many aircraft as their British counterparts (as well as superior aircraft, fairy swordfish piece of garbage...).

I never recall any trouble with Ralatha...they closed the range, but not quick enough that I didn't have a lock on them anyways... and like I said, 4000 klicks is good enough 99% of the time.

I would always just lock the torpedo outside of flak range, go to max speed, fire it off at about 4000 klicks and fly away again.

I personally think that a laser whose beam actually travels at the speed of light would be a nice touch for wing commander :) It would make it a lot easier to hit my targets for sure.

Also a chunk of the heat modern aircraft radiate off is from friction caused by atmospheric flight, something our sphere wouldn't really endure.

There shouldn't be a heat problem with a decently designed power plant. Radar cross section would be big, but its not like stealth is the biggest thing in the wing commander universe of prophecy. Sensors don't really appear to be sticking of a lot of fighters either. A design like the steltek...

George Washington wouldn't, but would Benedict Arnold?

they still would have done the job they needed, eg take out kilrah.

Still though, the Behemoth....they could produce strontium clad nukes that the Kilrathi were going to use on Earth.

Also, one could construct many Sivars, rated at a mere 103 meters https://www.wcnews.com/ships/wc1sivar.shtml . Also of note is that they just needed to hit the imperial palace to cause chaos.

The information available on the graviton weapon states it raises the planets gravity 137 fold. It doesn't say a small part of the planet. Also, even if for some reason it didnt work, they could have used the same weaponry the Kilrathi wanted to use in the Battle of Earth (an even cheaper...

Out of curiousity, why would Confed construct the Behemoth when they could likely have constructed their own graviton weapon ala the KIS Sivar in a much, much smaller warship? The graviton weapon would be sufficient to crush everything on the planet's surface. Why did Confed risk the resources...

I was able to down her with a little help from some Grikath.

Its funny because I also remember the AMG's destroying the Concordia once or twice. I also remember the Concordia getting torpedoed once or twice too... In fact if I recall correctly, I actually got in the way of the PTC and thats why the Concordia lost...

Yeah uhh I know for sure it works in WC:SO since it still play it semi-regularly.

Thats why the game has you eliminate turrets first I suppose. It always pissed me off though when my wingmen would start taking out cargo pods and other such useless targets and waste their torpedoes...

I dont really feel like arguing anymore. Suffice it to say its mission has changed over the years as has their size and armament since their main weapon now is the guided missile.

Yeah, Paladin was invulnerable, like when he flew that kilrathi transport too. Concordia can die but it takes a lot. Same with the destroyers.

sigh...Destroyers can kill battleships and carriers, yes. But they are designed as escorts, to make sure what theyre escorting gets from point A to point B. In your original post stating what ships were for the only vessel you mentioned as an escort was a frigate. In an Arrow I can kill a...

feel better?
