On the good side: each missile weighs 3/4 of a ton and they get to about Mach 3. On the bad side: They are designed to explode and send about 10,000 pieces of shrapnel into the path of oncoming aircraft, which works wonders on high performance jest but would only be a heavy sanding to a big Dragon (although it may blind one). Altering the warhead to be a contact or penetrator probably wouldn't work, as the HAWK are microwave guided from the ground. The Dragons would be far too maneuverable to reliably track and hit. Modern Stingers could track the Dragons, they are fairly agile, and they are designed to strike their targets, but their warheads would probably not be enough for a penetration. Now if you gave it a new warhead, say a shaped charge, or something akin to the M-21 anti tank mine's self-forging copper plate, that might work, if you can make it light enough to be carried by the missile and still have enough boom to hurt the Dragon. Tracking won't be a problem.

basically beside Yao each gaiden focus on one of the harem, gaiden 1 Pina, 2 Rory, 3 Tuka, 4 Lelei, example would be
Spoiler for harem:

in this discussion you have to remember the ground rules the author set up, they can only use what they have on hand, which of course is also controlled by the author, many different weapons can defeat the flame dragon, the point is they do not know the spec of the flame dragon before entering the Gate, otherwise they would bring different weapons, thus setting up the heroic of Itami in the story. if it is me I would “borrow” a fully loaded A-10 from USAF and be done with it, but then that would not be exciting story telling wouldn't it? btw the rumor has it the TV series will go 2 season 24 episodes, this means they will probably finish the flame dragon arc.

But yeah, it's an anime, even if a late night one. Don't expect the gore-fest in the manga at least in the TV broadcast version. |

well, I'm not an expert either so who am I to say. All I can really say is I'm on the side saying it's a myth. Last edited by Amuris; 2015-07-05 at 10:51. |

Spoiler for gaiden:
Quote:
1. free (web) version only cover the first 5 original novels, complete story, tragedy ending, can no longer be found on official website. 2. hardbound (novel) version ending is significant rewritten, now including the 4 gaiden and possible future part II. 3. bunko (light novel paperback) version beyond correct grammar/word mistakes, and new illustrator for cover and additional insert arts, no difference compare to hardbound except cheaper print/price and split each hardbound into two books, manga is an adaptation of the final novel story, period, with some additions and military details, easter eggs, etc. not found in original story and less political oriented. but it is true when the manga started the bunko has not come on line, yet. anime adaptation is using the same final pay novel version story, but to be more specific, anime is using the bunko character design set. Spoiler for book 3:
Quote:
========== btw, I just reread ch47, there are bonus and foreshadow everywhere, and not just the new additional story not in the original novel, right off page 5 you see the tails of two JASDF C-1 transport planes, they were shown on the first chapter of the manga-novel book 3 arc for a reason and not just some random equipments on a military base.
