If there was a /m/ show about modern military machines, with all of the proper cliches, which machine would the series' protagonist pilot?
Picture unrelated, I just like Z'goks.

Soltic H8.
>>14083127
No, I mean actual machines that exist in the real world. Modern aircraft, boats, and tanks are practically Mobile Armor by this point.
prob a one man fighter jet with a ground support crew
>>14083163
GuP with modern tanks?
>>14083163
Oh, misread the OP.
A forklift it is. Machine wrassling.

Don't care, still fastest plane

Update it with super special prototype modern shit on the inside and you're right on the mark.
+not many were in production
+older than all the modern weapons
+still retains a major advantage for the protag to exploit (going in a straight line very fast is not as useful as agility but hey)
+one of the sexiest aircraft ever made
+multiple seats for co-pilot shenanigans
+all (haha, "all") it needs is to update the stealth coating and internals with modern shit using anime magic
+can go all-out with customization and bleeding-edge shit since the protagonist is the only one using it, no need to standardize or make things compatible
+the name is already pretty dope (although really, what aircraft names haven't been since the 60s?)
-isn't a fighter jet
-99% of encounters will be with long-ranged missiles, not other aircraft
-cannot gerwalk, combine, or transform
It's a protagonist plane if I've ever seen one.

some form of fighter jet

You kids clearly never heard of the A-12 (not the debacle from the late-80s/early-90s) and the YF-12...
>>14083107
Pic related.
"During Korea, the Navy kill ratio was 12 to 1. We shot down 12 of their jets for every one of ours. During Vietnam, that ratio fell to 3 to 1. Our pilots had become dependent upon missiles. They had lost some of their dogfighting skills. Now, Top Gun was created to teach ACM-- Air Combat Maneuvering. Dogfighting. By Vietnam's end,
that ratio was back to 12 to 1.

Also YF-23 would be a good base

Twas good while it lasted, but it's extremely unstable in a turning fight.
>>14084657
>never heard of prototype crafts which were later perfected in the SR-71
It's the same reason I don't know the name of the guys Michael Phelps beat.

Razer is getting fucken ridiculous with these transforming premium gaming mice.

An attack helicopter would be a pretty rad thing to base a series around.

Aren't combat helos basically mechs without legs anyway?

A really customized and modified T-72 with a custom paint job. The operators, a ragtag bunch of private military contractors.
Could work as an episodic work with different jobs, or as a series with a series-long plot.

> Aren't combat helos basically mechs without legs anyway?
Yes.
Except a mech would be cheaper. Assuming we get to program the damn AI and interface needed for such limbs.
The polish stealth prototype tank.
