Does the Vf22 VFMF go into detail on the differences between the missiles? AOM-8S and CHM-2 compared the the (I'm assuming) High Maneuver AGM-118/122

Thanks

bunch of papercraft VFs here

While we're on the topic: I wonder what Protoculture would make of humanity and our progress at that point? It would be interesting to see a NUNS Fleet encounter the last survivors of Protoculture and actually interact with them (possibly this was the fate of Megaroad 1?)

 

Legend of the Megaroad on Fanfiction.net

There's a part II but AFAIK the author died so it will never be completed.

It really looks like a next gen Neo Glaug/Variable Glaug. 

That's it. I got a bunch of the Matchbox series when Robotech was on the air originally in the US.  Destroids, an Alpha, 3 SD style VFs and the SDF-1.

Is this weapon on the SDF-1 an actual part of the SDF-1's weapon systems or was it dropped from canon?  I am referring to the section that seems to lift from the "legs" as illustrated below....

The only reason I ask is because I cannot seem to recall it ever being used during the SDFM TV show.....was thinking maybe during the final battle during Ep. 27, but it does not seem it was ever animated in action...it was, however, added as part of the several gimmicks on the Takatoku Toys 1/3000 SDF-1...

 

I have a 1984 Bandai SDF-1 that also has flip up panels with a hole down the middle on each leg, but there's a slot along the top where yours has the yellow pieces.  

Vf-31A 3d model in an r/c aircraft simulator

So, speculation on Vf-31 Armored weapons?

built in HMGs and head beamguns of course

dual beam turret

forward firing beam guns in the dorsal armor next to cockpit

arm mounted gatlings

10+ medium weight AAMs (2x5, any reloads in there?)

dorsal micro missile packs

leg micromissiles (outers dual layer?)

micromissiles in the front of the rocket boosters (2 ports each?)

no wing mounted ordnance, but there are 4 new stub mountings on the booster packs.

transforming VF-19 built in KSP

Not sure where this should go, but check out a VF-19 made in KSP

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

Mostly the VF-171-II, but with as many units updated to the VF-171-III spec as humanly possible, with particular priority given to the fighter squadrons attached to carriers that serve in the fleet's advance scouting groups.

Can you explain what the -II and -III indicate? Is that the EX and EX Super, or improvements in the basic VF-171 airframe?

So this VF-1 Super variant got posted on the Macross Facebook page, and I was wondering what the source is (if it's from a publication), and are there any details on it?

EDIT:

Unrelated question: Has Macross (or anything, really) ever depicted an Itano circus through the eyes of the one dodging it? Would be interesting to play Ace Combat 7 in VR and have to do exactly that.

In addition to the M:+ scene mentioned, you have a very short example in the M3 opening sequence (search Y/T for Macross M3 Remastered Opening) and you get a couple seconds of Max's HUD with a swarm of Zent missiles inbound. The thing to note is Max and Mirya pulled off the same trick as Guld, while flying belly to belly in a VF-4 and a VF-5000.

Thanks, however, the problem with a 12 count in the FAST packs is Max and Miriya fired 16 missiles each in the final battle. Two volleys of 8. And the SDFM arm packs are clearly shown firing 12 missiles in 6 pairs.

So if anything, the older packs should have smaller missiles, and the new packs (as filmed in DYRL) have larger missiles.

Thanks guys, any word on missile count in the -31s wing mounted Super packs?

Thanks, judging from the number of dots, it has to be one of the AMM series, possibly the AMM-112 SQ (square?)

Does it say what the squarish cross-section under-wing missiles on the VF-31s are? They kind of look like CHM-2 high speed missiles.

In the VF-4 VFMF, are there any indications as the the performance of the AMM-3 Flechette missile and how it compares to the AMM-1?

Search Robotech Opening Credits on yt and it is there. The only blue fighters in it was a Alpha/Beta/Legios combo.

The art shows the -19s missiles actually pivot before being fired.

So the VF-31 can't fire the leg missiles in B or G modes since they will go right into the rest of the airframe?

caught a green flash in TFS and on pause got this screen shot

PPB in G mode?

Is there anything in the source material about the Tornado pack enhancing the PPB like there is for the Armored?

Were those minimissile packs on the Regult's shoulders? (that look like QRau pods)

-eta- the regular Regult, not the one with all the missiles on top.

That's a perfect illustration of the point... according to the written spec, the VF-1 Super Valkyrie is only supposed to have 30 micro-missiles of various types (12 in each HMMP-02 missile pod, 3 in each NP-AR-01 pack)¹.

1. Or, in a few model kit-connected cases, 46... with twenty in each HMMP-02 missile pod and three in each NP-AR-01 pack.

But there are two different kinds of arm pods. The slant front pod in SFDM with staggered small missiles, and the DYRL pod with exposed missiles that are larger and even with each other at the front.
