Can someone explain this madness

[MrNature72]

So I was browsing the internet when suddenly I discovered this majestic piece of complete stupidity. I mean, I get throwing in some art onto your ship but the americans did it to AIRPLANES in WORLD WAR TWO.

And then suddenly Japan...

...can someone explain why the f*** you would do that to a FLYING CRAFT.



ITS A FLYING TARGET.



I MEAN JESUS.



THIS BUGS ME SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW

 

[MrNature72]

DID I EVEN MENTION THE GIRL ON THE BOTTOM PICTURE HAS BRIGHT, DIED HAIR.



THAT GOES AGAINST SO MANY MILITARY DOCTRINES IT WANTS TO MAKE MY CRY.

 

[EpicFailLord123]

Wow...

I just realized how easy it was to make a an accurate anime portrait for anyone...

 

[MrNature72]

Anime is just copy-paste for most character designs.

The JDF doesn\'t engage in oversee conflicts, becuase it\'s just that, a defense army. Guys get really bored over there, and I\'m sure it was a promotional thing.

Also, that is a wig.

Calm your tits America.

 

[Zeveryn]

Haha this is the best comment i seen for a long while :P Thank you incap

Ah, the Four Kisarazu Sisters of the Fourth Anti-Tank Helicopter Squad.

The sisters put that together for the Aviation Festival and Garrison Commemorative event. The full cost of drawing on the two (An OH-1 Observation Heli and an AH-1S Anti-Tank Heli) was 300,000 yen (Aprox $2900 US at the time).

Afterwards, they were scolded pretty hard and the plans to draw on two more were dropped.

And yes, those are wigs.

This is some sort of transformer helicopter that the japanese electronics and robotics geniuses thought up. Nothing like a good helping of shock and awe.

But seriously. I know personally that both Canadian and American air forces paint certain aircraft all sorts of non-combat colours for air shows and special events. No biggie. They repaint them back to combat colours after.

 

[Aecetym]

I don\'t see the harm, it\'s even an improvement in some way.

 

[Incap]

Also, I find it funny that Nature is saying the decal makes the chopter a flying target when they\'re flying a 14 ton machine that makes a really loud CHUGA CHUGA CHUGA CHUGA CHUGA noise.

Is there a group of insurgents specially trained to spot anime decals on the side of helos?

 

[ObiShawnKenobi]

Erm, out of curiousity, but what does this have to do with StarMade???

 

[MrNature72]

That\'s why I put it in general discussion,

 

[ObiShawnKenobi]

We might as well make everything begin with Random.

Random Chatroom.

Random Discussions.

Random everything!

 

[ltmauve]

True, but hearing it is hardly the same as getting a bead on it with your heavy weaponry. Also, as a general rule most weapons on military vechiles are anti-stealth, so by the time you hear the chopper it\'s probably already lining up its shot.

 

[platinum467]

wasn\'t this a cosplay?

anyways, painting your aircraft is pretty common

 

[MrNature72]

WE NEED AN EVERYTHING CHAT ROOM



SCHEMA MAKE IT HAPPEN

Pictured below: USAF Pilot refueling a plane that is still currently in active service



Not quite the same as having a lady on the side, but it breathes armor-piercing bullets.

 

[MrNature72]

That\'s because it\'s the motherf***ing A-10 warthog.

That is the manliest of manly planes currently being flown. It makes tanks the size of small buildings poop their metal pants and can take more of a beating than the entire NFL put together.

It eats terrorists and shits freedom.

 

[jzimmerman4]

Now that is an accurate description!!

 

[RoosterTheRed]

There is a massive difference between the attack choppers shown above and the Warthog also shown above. As MrNature said, it is a testosterone-fuled machine of \'Murican rage and vegeance. The Warthog is designed to destroy tanks using the GAU-8 Avenger, the world\'s largest minigun.



It fires 30mm rounds, which are basically cannon rounds, at 4,200 rounds per minute. And for all intensive purposes, the A-10 Warthog IS a tank. Warthogs have been known to lose an entire engine, and the pilots only realized it once they had landed. These aircraft are among the most durable on the planet.





And for the record, the white and black shark teeth paintjob on the Warthog pictured don\'t offer too sharp a contrast. Not that it matters, the Warthog is a ground-attack aircraft, and is gonna be spotted pretty easily.
