Force_Feedback Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Old stuff actually. This thing is one of the aspects that gives the F-35 a much greater potential than the F-22, okay, they are 20 years apart, so it's not that surprising. The cool thing is that you can look through the fuselage in infrared Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Wild.Bill.Kelso Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 How do they do the 'look through the fuselage' thing? Cameras all around the ac?

The cool thing is that you can look through the fuselage in infrared 20 years appart?! Try like 10 counting from IOC's. F-22 is more capable just like the F-15 was to the F-16, being the falcon "newer". .

Hellcat61 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Helmets are becoming increasingly more stupid looking as time progresses. I'm sure that helmet is a huge asset in ACM, but damn, does it look dumb. "When you're out of Tomcats, you're out of fighters!"
JaNk0 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Oh my god....that's the worst worst thing I've ever seen...looks horrible! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

I'm sure that helmet is a huge asset in ACM, but damn, does it look dumb. I bet that would look much more familiar to you and me!:) For all that do not know this guy: It's the death-star gunner.

monotwix Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 What if it sees thru the enemy plane than what? No doubt it can be used as a scare tactics or maybe halloween outfit or a comedy show as well. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
Raised_Dead85 Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 See people worry about how gear looks like and they dont understand something. Its not about showing off during combat its all about defending and having less casulties and make the job alot simpler. Look at the Russian Spetznas they wear some goofy looking helmets but they dont care because it fits them and it helps there job to be easier and comfortible plus they wear titanuim armour which is way lighter and more sturdy than the other sapi plates which are really heavy! 1 |Windows 8 64bit|I7-950| |X58Mobo| |1T HDD| |18gigs PC3-16000 TC 2000mhz||Nvidia GTX 660 Ti Graphics||Cougar HOTAS-CHPedals/TIR5ProClip|

monotwix Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Oh NO they don't care about the looks now... they want the brain to look like that. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
cool_t Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 New head gear The new "Visual" systems will display "Virtual" SAM WEZs, missile vector tracking/intecept lines and RWR/RADAR/HUD/ and varoius other information that privious generation pilots need to "Guess" where missiles were or look "Fumble" in the pit for the needed information. If you were to say look at your left foot and a SAM was launched you would see a "Virtual" display on the visor of where the SAM originated from and its general intercept path. Very useful and you can gain that tid bit more of the edge. :book:

Jinky Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Wow, a helmet that gives the pilot the ability to transform his reality into a computer game from the early 80's. Cool. Pass the flux capacitor.
