Description Commission pt2 for
Sequel to

After five minutes of turning and burning with the Ace Flanker Pilot, and starting to run out of ammunition, Newsman was starting to get frustrated with his adversary. He then remembered that this pilot had a habit of always latching onto his opponent until his target was killed, something that could be fatal to a pilot if such a thing were exploited. Knowing this, He dove down into the mountain range below, and weaved in and around the mountains and canyons, making it look like he was trying to escape. Sure enough, Madmike called him out...

"He's on our ass!"
"Perfect"

Newsman slowed down enough to keep the Flanker close, letting him open with the Flankers cannon, some rounds hit the Panther, but the FA70 just shrugged them off the tiny insults. Finally, Newsman found what he wanted, a cliff face with only a hard turn or sharp climb to avoid at these speeds. He accelerated, knowing the Flanker would follow, and with the timing of an Ace pilot, Newsman engaged the lift fan, engaged his airbreaks, engaged the afterburner, and yanked back on the stick.

"HOPE YOU HAVE AIRBAGS YOU SONOVABITCH!" He yelled into the radio

The FA70 just seemed to leep up and over the cliff, clearing the face easily. When he disengaged the lift fan, he looked back, and sure enough, there was a fire ball. A funeral pyre to the enemy Ace pilot.

Cool. Not always, but this time, the pilot with the superior technology won this battle.

Awesome piece! The texture and detailing work are top notch!

Hmm... would that FA-70 have enough airfoil surface area to out maneuver an SU Flanker... or is that a Terminator? Either way, that FA-70 design is more for stealth and speed. Granted the thrust vectoring nozzles and canard fore-planes help, but would it be enough? The Sukhoi has more airfoil surface area to maneuver with. I would think the fight would be a trade. The FA-70 with better stealth and avionics, the Sukhoi with the mobility advantage... I don't know, my knowledge of aerodynamics is limited. Just from what I gather, I just wonder.

it's also got the Lift-fan, which helps it achieve tight turns as well as hover if it wants.

Ah, then it's a question of inertia... in which case... yeah the Sukhoi would loose.
