    Whoever said they were VTOL was a dumbass. Nowhere has it ever said that. 

    That'd be either Rook or Xal, whoever it was that had control of Fleet on the old forums into the new before the thread purge during the current rework of fleet.

     

    They were deemed VTOL since the dropships are VTOL.

    The fighters are not VTOL, that's incorrect.

     

    Dropships have weapons but our vehicles are currently insufficient. You could reskin this as a Skyhook. Skyhooks are not stupid fast, they're just fast. 

    Who decided to make the fighters NOT VTOL? They used to be, because space.

    But dropships are fucking massive and when do you ever see /events where a dropship guns down seppies or boogs, never really

    Never, because that's the job of TAC and MI. Fleet's entire purpose in SST is capital ships, air support in the form of bombers and transports and that's about it. In SSTRP it gets extended slightly with orbital bombardments.

    I do think having something that can move troopers but also shoot shit for them is a good alternative to boats for transport and tacs for cas, a gunship would be better at cas than a jet fighter, like the russian Hind or the american UH-1. Plus a gunship would be a bit more agile than a boat but not as fast as a tac per say, I think its a good mid ground for the MI and may also help bring some more activity to fleet for gunship pilots for drops

     

    Dropships have weapons. The fighters are also VTOL, so they can act as gunships. Both are stupid fast.

    Northern Limit Line, Tora! Tora! Tora!, Generation War, Midway, Into the White, and Jarhead are all fine pieces of media excluded from both lists.

     

    Oh, don't forget the Jack Ryan series; The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, and The Sum of All Fears.

    I legit forgot Jarhead and Midway, Tora is a solid film and I think is what made Michael Bay do his shitstorm based on Pearl Harbour, was debating throwing in Red October and Sum of All Fears but didn't since Tom Clancy stuff is a bit hit or miss.

    WHERE'S RED TAILS?! MEMPHIS BELLE?!

    One was a shit tier film made by the guy behind Daddy Day Care, the other is an alright redo of a documentary that I forgot existed.

    brother

    How the fuck did you legitimately miss We Were Soldiers, but add Enemy at the Gates which is debatebly pure fiction? 

     

    Where's Platoon? Apocalypse Now? Generation Kill? American Sniper? Das Boot? U-571? Black Hawk Down? Hurtlocker? Beneath Hill 60? Dambusters? Bridge on the River Kwai? Sands of Iwo Jima? Where Eagles Dare? Saving Private Ryan? Stalingrad? Thin Red Line?
