It's a test vehicle modified for the purpose of investigating controlled flight at a specified angle of attack.

I think it was a study to see if it could improve upon the ideal of Aerial Dogfighting.

They used the F/A-18 Hornet as the Test Bed.

It's a test vehicle, much like F-15 STOL/MTD.

Basically a different thruster setup + aerodynamic changes to improve control while performing aerial maneuvers during dogfight or any similar scenario.

omega read the wikipedia

I saw this, just now and thought it'd be an interesting suggestion to bring up.

#

It's one of those NASA Program test vehicles, like the F-104 Starfighter or the Bell X-1

vagrant onyx
#

so no visual diff from f18

pallid bobcat
#

Well actually yeah

vagrant onyx
#

rejected

pallid bobcat
#

Eh, you're no fun

vagrant onyx
#

you dont read rules so you get rejected

pallid bobcat
#

State a rule that conflicts with this?

#

Instead of being a buzzkill

#

It's just a Hornet with a different thruster setup, it's a test vehicle like some of the other toys you have in-game.

#

Oh well, Taking the post down.

#

This is an F/A-18 with a different thruster setup.

#

So it would fall under customization, like your F-15 ACTIVE's STOL/MTD

vagrant onyx
#

so you are saying theres no rule

#

right

pallid bobcat
#

Are you just looking to push me around?

vagrant onyx
#

if I show you the rule

#

you will be warned for breaking suggestions rules

#

bet?

pallid bobcat
#

Grow up.

dynoSuccess renlost has been warned. || Suggested variant

pallid bobcat
#

So basically the same bullshit y'all pulled with the STOL/MTD?

#

No difference, except for looks

#

You're biased.

vagrant onyx
#

it does have good vis dif and more important stat change

pallid bobcat
#

This is basically the same thing.

#

Just for the Hornet.

#

But whatever, you came here to downplay and shut it down.
