Subject: Falcon vs. Hornet

So full of hate were our eyes that we could not see. Our war would yield countless dead but never victory. So let us cast arms aside and like discard our wrath. Thou, in faith, will keep us safe whilst we find the path.

The Falcon has a front-mounted machine gun, can come equipped with two side-mounted grenade launchers that can launch EMP grenades to disable the hornet along with regular grenades, or will have two side-mounted machine gun turrets. It is also faster at maneuvering, but is slower at gaining height.

The Hornet has a front-mounted machine gun, and rockets that lock on, and is slower at maneuvering, but faster at gaining height.

It's actually a tough choice. Rockets are a very deadly weapon.


Ah, but the trick is to get the grenade to explode at the right spot, midair. That's very difficult to do, especially considering that you have to account for drop, the falcon's motion, the Hornet's motion, and range. Add that to the fact that only one grenade (from each launcher) can be in the air at a time (unless you bounce it off a surface, which won't happen in an A2A duel), and the difficulty compounds, as you have fewer shots.

Little bird= Hornet
Cobra= Hawk
Pavelow/ac-130= Vultre
Black hawk=pelican

I have no idea where the falcon fits in though.
Actually, the Vulture IS an AC model. Because its technical name is the AC-220

What the hell is a signature?

Hornet packed a punch and could still deliver troops. Hornet

Heres your situation:

There is a fully dledge honet (Not my favourite transport hornet) with to guys on the side. One has a psrtan laser, the other has a rocket launcher.

The Falcon: It has the same two guns on the side, no front gun, no other passengers. In short, both these vechiles are in the full fledged form of attack you can get in multiplayer. WHo would win.


No offense, but you need to proof-read your posts for spelling mistakes.
