  1. Since were having fun with the YF-23 at the moment, Growling Sidewinder presents to you, The F-23. 

    While I get that these are DCS, you have to respect that the 23 with zero thrust vectoring can give the 22 that much of a run for the money in both a 1 & 2 circle fight.

    I really just want them to reveal that the Air Force changed their minds, and decided they actually want the YF-23 this time. :lol: 

    I forgot where I read this, but I remember seeing a comment about the YF-23 saying something like "Northrop/Mcdonnell Douglas accidently built a Gen 6th aircraft 30+ years ago." LOL

    I mean seriously, redesign the rear section for "Thrust vectoring" engines, a one-piece canopy, modern day radar systems, improved RAM, perhaps a larger interior missile bay and you have yourself one vicious stealth fighter that's kind of sort of ready to go vs. this NGAD which is guaranteed to run, way over budget and perform decently. Just my opinion, yours may vary.

    So i guess the next gen fighter is going to be built by Boeing F-47..

    Something about F-47 just doesn't roll off the togue... feels forced. By the time they get this thing airborne & into production, a Gen 7 aircraft will be in the works.

    While I love the studio Nue and sunrise redesigns, I have a feeling it will have the aesthetic of a bit closer to the armor from District 9 but without the pig launcher. Or maybe Chappie. His films have kind of a clunky sort of look to the robotic type stuff, but I’d love to see something different here. And would really love something that pays homage to the Japanese versions.

    Then again, his armors could end up looking more retro futuristic. Something more like a late 1950’s aesthetic 

    Something retro-futuristic would be cool, definitely nothing in the style of HALO, that's been overdone IMO. 

    The pig launcher however, that could come in handy with the Arachnids. :lol:

    New ‘Starship Troopers’ Movie in the Works from ‘District 9’ Filmmaker Neill Blomkamp (Exclusive)

    If this actually see's the light of day, the special effects used in District 9 still hold strong today. I can't imagine what the Power Suits might look like if they stay true to the book vs. Paul Verhoeven's version. (Which I'm still a huge fan of today, I saw Starship 3 times in theaters.)
