do know Longsword fighter/bombers are the size of modern day stealth bombers right? and they can seriously haul ass, they have enough power to break orbit so would put there maximum atmospheric speed well supersonic, maybe even hypersonic, plus its worth saying they might not even be detectable to radar, look at their shape, very similar to modern stealth planes. the orbital platforms wouldn't be a problem, since they would be the primary target of orbiting Frigates and Longsword bombers. fair enough, what exactly is going to smoke a 478 metre long Frigate, never seen anything in the Fallout universe that would be able to do that? locate all defensive batteries around your landing destination and obliterate them all from orbit using Archer missiles, hell I think an Archer is more than a match for most planet-side defences and the ships possess hundreds, sometimes thousands of them!
could also bring Prowlers into the debate, for taking out orbital platforms using HORNET mines, not like the orbital platforms would cause them much trouble to be honest. could also use drones to attack land based targets, can never remember what they are called. wouldn't be worried about Power Armour either, especially with Gauss Hogs in the field since they have long long range and serious stopping power.
Anti-air guns do exist, you know. They could take down the Longswords and other fighters as well, it's not too difficult. And as I said before, the orbital platforms can destory pretty much anything that moves, unlike MAC guns, where the projectile is unalterable after firing. Plus, if that fails, remember those huge-ass guns that you blew up in Anchorage? Yeah, those were American weapons captured by the Chinese, I believe. Those would rip a hole right through a cruiser.
Also, Archer missiles aren't meant to be fired from orbit.
A SAM cannot take out a Longsword. Those fighters--in order to break atmosphere--must be traveling at least 5 miles per second. No SAM site can do that
But think, that's modern SAM sites. We have no idea what a SAM site is capable of in the Fallout universe.
Were the Americans planning to shoot down starfighters?
American weaponry counters current day weaponry. SAMs were built to destroy modern air jets, not starfighters.
There's an over-the-shoulder nuclear bomb catapult.
I'm pretty sure that a laser-shooting SAM turret isn't too far from believability.(Removed quote tag due to 5+
Longswords have good stealth capabilities, noting the sleek designs, and also, these longswords have impressive armor.
