A funny part with the Ace Combat references is that some of the pilots have obviously played it as well. From time to time you might be able to find an E-3 Sentry callsigned BANDOG in reference to one of the AWACS from Ace Combat 7. Azki's fascination is very relatable though. I also think these purpose-built machines are pretty cool that they've been made at all. I mean aerial refueling when it was starting out was looking like a risky novelty rather than the efficient and important thing it is now, though still not without some risk. Some of these planes have been flying for generations as well. Many fighter aircraft are designed to find and exploit the limits of the laws of physics or attempt to emulate it while on a budget. But I would also love that they not be used in anger. War sucks. It and violence have been depicted so much in our media that we've become accustomed to it, but I'd prefer to keep it to pixels instead of actual people.

Thank you for the TL! it was so fascinating watching her that i didn't realise 8+ mins has gone by after the end screen played.

[@TheDistractingGamer]

Map obsession? Military hardware interest? Fellas... We are THIS close to an Azki Hearts of Iron stream.

[@Aegis---]

there isnt a single reality where that gets approved by staff lmao

[@amuroray.1690]

This is so cute and wholesome. Like a little child in an air and space museum gushing at all the planes, while an army of enthusiasts follows her around explaining everything.

[@dimetrodon2250]

AZKi being a huge nerd for niche interests is so cool to watch. Its so great that she was able to transition from "that one Hololive-adjacent member who sings and you only see rarely" to "nerdy streamer who has a lot of cool interests"

[@RodrigoRodriguezowl]

now i wanna see ASKI playing war thunder or some sim like games, Arma and just messing around with military hardware and just reacting to it

[@igamewhenimbored7696]

Can you imagine being on a flight crew on one of these training missions and you go back to base and watch KZbin and see a hololive vtuber looking at your flight on a VOD 😂😂

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Watching her geek out over an AWACS plane is oddly sweet, most people don't really care about them but I've liked the "funny planes with the frisbee hats" since i was a little boy

[@Duplucky5]

I need to watch Azki’s streams more often, I realize that she is really like me, able to spend hours on this kind of cards imagining things and looking for the smallest interesting detail. In addition, I discovered this site to monitor air traffic thanks to it and it is really nice to watch it from time to time.

[@DokiDokiAviaryClub]

So cute 🥰. Nobody tell her Japan has been operating AWACS aircraft since 1987 though😅.

[@konsanalite]

She'd definitely laugh at that JASDF Kawasaki EC-1 design. The bulge on the face of the aircraft will make any normie laugh if not get weirded about the design of it. 😂

E-767 still serving until today
