Area 88-Fly with me

[@psaris7]

the old area88 was the best, so much feeling

[@Db--jt7bt]

Old Area 88? This was the 2004 remake. Imo it’s better because of the unique trance soundtrack and the CG is so well merged with the conventional animation.

[@psaris7]

@Db9-232 have you seen the ova series? It's a 3 hour masterpiece

"Tell Shin he has 3 minutes" Yeah the Harrier won't be able to hold its hover for more than 90sec so...

[@DamnFineFilly]

Got to love the harrier!

[@HalcyonSkies]

It's hard to determine the hover characteristics of the Harrier. Its maximum hovering ceiling, as well as maximum hover time, all depend on a few circumstances, temperature, fuel load etc. Now, a Harrier does not need to be near the ground to hover, this misleads some people. The ground does play a part, but only due to the decrease in atmospheric density. Throwing in optimal conditions though, the Harrier can probably hover for about 10 minutes, and probably up to about 5000 feet or so.

[@sparrowlt]

Acording to the series Kim's Sea Harrier was heavily upgraded to the point of being described as "working twice as good as a RAF Harrier". Dont know if those upgrades apply the Pegasus engine but in episode 2 he is seen breaking the sound barrier along Shin's F-8E so surelly it has quite more thrust than a standard Sea Harrier. Its that possible? probably not but this is an anime after all..Sniper Rifles cant blow up a firetruck with a single hit

[@Sierra-208]

maybe they intended to depict an anti-material rifle but forgot to inform the illustrators. The rifle depicted after they get rid of the sniper is more of your average sniper rifle, I think it was a HK or French rifle idr.

[@sparrowlt]

@@Sierra-208 the same sniper with the same rifle and rounds is seen making vehicles explode and then taking a headshot at a person in the tower and that person head doesnt explode into a cloud of brains so it definitily isnt suposed to be an antimaterial rifle

[@Sierra-208]

@@sparrowlt okay, good point

[@Tigershark_3082]

The first Gen Harriers (AV-8A/C/S, GR.1/GR.1A, GR.3, FRS.1, FA.2, FRS.51) could fly at high subsonic speeds, and seeing as the Pegasus was already decently powerful (and mounted to such a small and light airframe), I could definitely see McCoy and Gustav uprating its thrust output even more. Biggest issue would be drag...

[@sparrowlt]

@@Tigershark_3082 The fastest Harrier variant was the Sea Harrier ... i asked once an ex Harrier driver (AV-8B) about the speed thing and he told me its related to the exhaust speed.. the earlier Harriers had less drag and a bit of more exhaust velocity so they had a bit faster top speed than the Harrier II.. but the later still has quite more thrust

This is SOOOO much better then TOP GUN!

[@FLJBeliever1776]

I only really know of the Barret since I'm more into the regular infantry and not into sniper tech, as I have poor aim anyways to be concerned, though I do take time to study and understand the various weapons and their tech. Though all that aside, I'm glad someone is actually really to listen and talk and not just say I'm wrong out of hand.

[@rbird1985]

nope. The size of the bullet, tracer incendury or otherwise will not make a petrol tank explode!!!! an explosion is essentially something burning or expanding extremely quickly. Fuels such as petrolium or diesel require oxygen to burn hence why you can put out a fire by smothering it. it is in fact the air/fuel mixture which is explosive not the fuel itself. A tank with just fuel will not explode. it may burn; but it wont explode.

[@Arrowdance]

to JesusAssailant This is not an AMV. And the song of the video is actually the BGM of the scene. The BGM of this anime have some tracks from Cyber Trance.

[@sparrowlt]

Problem is, fuel tanks doesnt explode when hit by a rifle bullet.. unless its an incendiary/Explosive one.. and we saw this sniper shot people with the rifle and it didnt explode/flamed.. so its standard penetrating bullets.. so no..it cant make fuel tanks explode.. I saw a demo of it in mithbusters if i renember well

[@rbird1985]

*sigh* read the context of the the word "Tank" in which I have used it... I am refering to "tank" as a container not the armoured vehicle. Large bullets incendury, HE or otherwise are not meant for the anti-tank (AV) role. They are used against lightly armoured or unarmoured targets. If a modern tank could be taken down by a 12.7x99mm bullet then we wouldn't be using tanks at all and everything would carry a 50. cal machine gun.

[@crpsaiyan]

@DamnFineFilly Ain't it the truth? I guess that's why I like this anime... because it reminds me of Top Gun. Only thing is, the Top Gun guys were going to school, while the guys (and gal) of Area 88 are mercenaries.

[@theshortdon]

@CHANNELOMD not a normal harrier but if u watched the anime they mentioned that his harrier is two times better than the original.. though it's still a anime so they might have to stretch the ability of the jets abit further and abit more unrealistic?

[@FLJBeliever1776]

Actually, that's incorrect. As stated the Barret is a 12.7mm (.50 cal.) sniper rifle that can take out a tank, but only if it is firing on the vulnerable rear. It really depends on the round. Like say, a semi-HE round, like the pistol from the first Halo. They do have those in reality and the Barret does use that kind of munitions and there is reportedly WP rounds for rifles have also been expertimented with, though not for the Barret. At least I don't think so.

[@kevinkorenke3569]

Not sure how much I like the updated visuals, the CG planes feel kind of lifeless compared to the 86 original.

[@FLJBeliever1776]

They need to redo some of the things they did. They preformed some of their stunts involving munitions too much caution and got inaccurate data. As for the sniper, he was using a bolt action, which can be reloaded at anytime from one round to a full clip, and from his movements, had alreadly preloaded his munitions for a set pattern. A round to crash the two Skyhawks, two for the firetrucks, and a forth round for the controller. That guy was good, he knew his limits and was deadly with them.

[@Redfox161616]

@CHANNELOMD the longest it can hover for is about 1 min

[@FLJBeliever1776]

Thank you! Someone else who knows the Barret! Folks just don't think the infantry is all that anymore and they're the ones seeing the worst of it.

[@snnrslnx]

Another version of this episode has not this soundtrack playing on background? Why??

[@BeTeK11]

DVD version have different soundtrack. This is TV rip. I'm guessing that they didn't got the rights for the music to put in DVD

[@snnrslnx]

@@BeTeK11 Thanks for the info

anyone know where i can buy the whole dvd set?

[@GundamGetterFan]

Looked that way. I don't see the Soviets selling their Tu-160, plus the need was too small for such bombers.

@CHANNELOMD with a full tank can hold one hour

[@elitepilot2000]

actually its an anti-material rifle. not specifically an anti tank rifle

[@FLJBeliever1776]

Actually, if hit in the fuel tank, a sniper rifle with a large enough bullet can do that. The Barret .50 caliber (12.7mm) sniper is standard issue for the anti-material role. In other words, it's anti-vehicle rifle, but is just as effective against harden structures like pillboxes, as the Taliban and others have found out the hard way as of late. To take out fighters and vehicles, that sniper was clearly using such a rifle, but was it's Soviet counterpart. About 14.7mm, give or take.

[@Majorrick07]

Hey Leonzhell, do you know where I can get this song?

[@FLJBeliever1776]

By the way... Anyone know what this song is?

[@FLJBeliever1776]

R Bird 1985... The military uses specialized bullets for the Barret. Also, the Barret CANNOT penetrate a tank's armor on the front or sides, not even the turret. The Barret came about as a means to take out tanks by hitting them in the ENGINE block! Tanks are too well armored for anything else. So yes it is possible, depending, like I said on the munitions involved. And like I said, the Mythbusters were often overly cautious when working with effects from bullets.

[@ale66ale60]

Whay is the name of this song? who is the singer ?

[@pollita143]

what is the name of the song that is playing ?

[@walidroh3943]

"Spread your wings"

[@MattyDaniel]

'kim' obvisously had no idea how to fly that harrier jump jet, he could've used the thrust vectoring to stop, hover, wait for the mig 21's to over shoot and then blow them to bits using missiles. that tactic was super effective against the Argentinians.... just saying

[@sparrowlt]

+Chubba Mantis That tactic was never used , not against Argentina or against anyone.. is just a press myth... hovering or using the thrust angle was never considered usefull in dogfight save for a last resort maneover.. SeaHarriers over Falklands/Malvinas never had such problems because they were facing Mirages wich were allready very low on fuel and the BlueVixen radar gave the FRS1 better situational awareness to intercept

[@aldraw]

Kim's like 12 if you didn't notice
