Interesting drawing! Indeed Strike Witches has a weird premise, but it is a noteworthy classic to us. You did great capturing that SW look and feel... only it's Roberta! ^u^

No she is a witch, and those machines on her legs are an analog for her 'witches broom'. A high altitude magic machine that allows the witch to fight and fly very high, and helps her survive battles against " the enemy of mankind" in the anime she is based off of.

I wouldn't expect a jetpack to fly at combat plane speeds. Each "striker unit" is based off of a real world fighter plane, and thus shares many of the same statistics and flight capabilities. I.E. they can fly at speeds exceeding 700 km/h (approximately 400 mph) why? Because anime logic. xD

Oh well! I'm interested in the facts and would like to make a comic, where a jetpackt unit can record with these witches

can anyone fly with it or does one have to have magical abilities there?

janvill In reply to black-sunn89 [2018-01-22 00:19:08 +0000 UTC]

just the Strike Witches themselves. I can't remember exactly but I don't think there's any magic involved in that show.xD

How effective would it be compared to a jetpack?

janvill In reply to black-sunn89 [2018-01-24 23:53:29 +0000 UTC]

well, they fly smoothly on the show.xD
the idea is it's made for combat, so they can maneuver them any way they want.

you can easily keep up with a jetpack!
the advantage of jetpack is that you do not have to be a witch to fly
