It could augment the proposed Nuke with planet destroying capability. Once the nukes are used, the Battleship could be called out by the losing country at the cost of the net of all players on that side's perks. The wave motion gun can be fired only once, per up. It could be rearmed future additions to the game like a space port.
Also, it could be modified to carry veritech fighters. Which saw extensive service in our interstellar battles.

Specs:
General characteristics
Maximum speed Mach 2.71 at 10,000 m
Mach 3.87 at 30,000+ m
Armaments External GU-11 55 mm gunpod
1–4 Mauler RÖV-20 anti-aircraft laser cannons
Four pivoting hardpoints under the wings
Propulsion 2x Shinnakasu Heavy Industry/P&W/Roice FF-2001 thermonuclear reaction turbine engines[1]
Power 11,500 kgf /650 MW each
Mass 13,250 kg (empty)
Length 14.23 m (fighter mode)
11.3 m (GERWALK mode)
4 m (battroid mode)
Width 14.78 m (fully extended)

I think these could help answer the problem of the KT. It would be real hard for the KT to move its turret fast enough to track and fire on one in Battroid mode.
I really thing this is a creative idea and one that certainly has never made it to the boards. Thoughts?
-
I believe it was deployed after 1945.
-
Dammit, I missed that, good catch FLS. I guess then, without computer technology then, it would have been near impossible to convert from flight to guardian mode without spinning out of control. Shucks.
-
Holy crap! I remember that cartoon from way back when, must have been 1980 or so. Not sure what the story line was but every episode they would engage an enemy space battleship and launch their fighters for a sweep or Alpha Raid. The fighters were a cross of the F-16 and the X-wing fighter.
Awesome! Brings back memories of getting up early to watch just before the bus came for school. I think early Japanese animation as the lip-sync was pretty bad into English. If you have a link to an online episode or something please send.

that was always one of my favorite cartoons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking circa 1977-1980 myself. What a great cartoon. They've recently updated the cartoon w/ new graphics, etc, and iirc even made a movie about it. What a classis cartoon and storyline.
Too bad %99.9 of the Japanese have no clue what the real Yamato was, in fact %99.9 have no clue what happened between Dec 7, 1941 and Aug 6-9, 1945. Seriously.

They also did a live action version last year. I used to have a link to the full movie - english subtitled version, but its gone now. This is a clip in japanese though:

I watched the whole movie with english subs... was pretty good :)

Thanks...pretty serious Cold War theme to this. Had no idea, but I was a kid. Reminds me of Reagan wishing there was an out of world threat that would unite the world against a common foe, instead of battling each other. He only said it once. Maybe it was a promo for this?

Now you're being silly. Battleships don't fly through space in squadrons.

Was also known as "Starblazers". Loved that one. Those pesky Gamelons would think they had the drop on the Yamato and then she'd whip out a can of wave motion gun on their bedonkadonks! Yeah! Say hello to my little friend!

Did not see squadron strength. It is Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1, which was prototype that never saw production, and had only 1 built. It did however lead to the development of the TIE Avenger.

This thread was started as a thinly veiled attempt to stop the madness on some recent requests.
Back on point however,
If you were to get the veritech fights, that is attributed to the Macross, so, should the SDF Macross be brought into the game instead of the Yamato.
FLS, thinking a bit more into it, yes, the Yamato saw service in WWII, any mods that took place afterword...eh (shrugs shoulders).

If we are talking spaceships here...
TCS Tiger's Claw CV-07
The TCS Tiger's Claw was commissioned in 2644. The first of the Bengal class carriers, the ship was ten meters longer than subsequent Bengals – the design was streamlined and improved upon for later ships.
“The Claw”, as she was affectionately called by her crew, was home to many of the most famous pilots of the Kilrathi War. Christopher "Maverick" Blair, Todd "Maniac" Marshall, and Michael "Iceman" Casey all served with distinction aboard the carrier in 2655. Senator Taggart even served on her immediately before his retirement from the Space Forces. The ship was also home to the infamous; Commodore Geoffrey Tolwyn commanded the vessel in 2654, before being promoted to Admiral.
The end of the Tiger's Claw's service came in 2656, when it was ambushed by Kilrathi cloaking fighters while en-route to the Kilrathi Enigma sector Headquarters at K'tithrak Mang.

well guys you have given me a brain wave here , since you have posted this thread ive been doing some research , it is regarding the bell , which was a german secret weapon , some say adolf hitler took off in it , just after he left the bunker in berlin , it was a flying saucer , that was situated in the black forest , and the launch plaform is still there , it was a highley magnetic circle , which could push a aircraft into another dimension via a wormhole , as soon as i got all the spec on it, ill put all the details here :salute

Was wondering about this. I read somewhere that the Japanese history books had left out a lot of things that happened in the 1930's and 1940's. Anyone know where to get an English translation of a Japanese history book?
I recently re-read 'Flags of Our Fathers'. The movie version was quite different from the book. Anyway, it got me to thinking about the history thing.
Sorry is off this serious topic.

It's been a while since I served in the Empire and I don't keep up with the Veterans' association like I should, but wasn't the design that branched out of that prototype the 'TIE Advanced'? Perhaps they changed the designation for it a la the A-10 going from being the Warthog to the Thunderbolt...

One of my history profs in college taught English in Japan for a few years and married a Japanese woman. He stated multiple times in both history and poli-sci classes that the Japanese make no mention of anything between the dates of Pearl Harbor and the dropping of the bombs. None. All the Japanese text books mention is "combat" at Pearl Harbor, then a quite lengthy section on the atom bombs. The text books portray the history as if the Japanese were the victims of warfare. No mention of the campaigns in Manchuria/Korea/mainland Asia, the Bataan Death March, Wake Island, Kamikazes, or WWII in general.
In contrast, the Germans evidently study up on Hitler, the Brown Shirts, National Socialism, etc etc, and are taught all the bad things associated with them.

This also became the transformer "jet fire" if you recall. I still have a plastic one somewhere in a box. I would trade a kid for the metal toy of this.... Lol only the rich kids had it back in the day.
Ranger... Both robotech and starazers are/were on Netflix. I used to love how the Yamato would always be on the verge of disaster until they fired the wave motion gun. The climatic music as the system charged.... Will the charge in time or is the Yamato goin down ...... Lol.

ok ok i get the point , i wont waste any more time trying to improve gameplay , seems all you who read the bb are tared with the same brush apart from a few positive players who are very impartial and only want fair play ,
some of the best readers of this forum are
evz guncrasher mano
rob debrody chilli
tec grumpy that guy who has a pilot flying a cargo plane on his sig (cnt think of his name)
im a dot blood scout and a few more which names escape
matt flatirion
the rest of you just love ripping threads apart and making a mockery of the bb
ill look in time too time and itll be the same few players mocking the interlectual as my self and others ive mentioned , i think its jealousy, they dont like progression , and if they where alive during wilbur wrights day , we could still not have a machine in which we call a aircraft, as they would say "itll never work" , " only birds can fly" , what a spam idea , you must be trolling , etc etc etc, its the same stuff , no improvement just rip it up and start again basicly :salute

Davidwales, to be fair, the worst of the flamers (they know who they are) have frankly not engaged you for whatever reason and you have been spared their wrath. Your points on systems and gameplay do not meet the basic criteria for inclusion on the BBs. I would suggest you seek out the criteria for wishlist first, then once you understand it, find something that meets the criteria, research it on the BBs. If it has not been asked for in the past, or at least within the last few years, then run with it. Just be aware that there are some serious Aviation and WWII historians on these pages.
FLS, man it would be cool if tracers did that, much less lasers. I think the Tie fighter might have stability issues in the atmosphere. I have not seen Tie fighters in a stall fight.
-
because of their shape tie fighters would be very slow in the lower atmosphere. I believe they are mainly used as high alt fighters in the thin air above 100k, so they would all be rooks :uhoh. the x and y wing fighters on the other hand would be useful to hunt those pesky 262's that annoy the crap out of me.

I'd be careful whos living room rug you're relieving yourself on here, especialy since, as it is being repeatedly pointed out to you, we're being relatively nice, helpful and outgoing twords you. But here, *tosses a bigger stick with a sharper point*, go ahead. He loves babysitting.
