Andras Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Greetings, I was reviewing Episode 24, Showdown, and the number of missiles fired by the VF-1 Super piloted by Hikaru. Starting at 8:19 into the episode, he first fires a volley of about 16 missiles (2 groups of from the dorsal boosters. The second volley at 8:29 launches at least 6 pairs of missiles from each arm pack, plus another 12-16 (in groups of 4) from the dorsal boosters. It gets difficult to tell since he is rolling 180* and then the missles cross in front of the camera. Going by the animation, the boosters have at least 32 missiles total, probably more (up to 48), the arm pods have at least 12 missiles each. Force of Arms also shows Max and Miriya fire at least 32 missiles from their boosters. The reason I suggest there would be still more missiles in the boosters is because he would otherwise be completely out of missiles, yet they felt he still had enough firepower to escort the shuttle alone. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
