I remember the guy posting all about it. I don't know if it was this thread though. I think the posts were like... 2019 range. Maybe even as old as 2018. I don't see any of the posts in this thread, at least.

As far as fighter jet what the fastest in production right now? I think there is a new one in development but what's the fastest combat jet were have active? I want to say the 22 but that doesn't sound right. Mainly low altitude which the trailer has shown

Unknown for sure since true top speed is classified. They also arnt suppose to fly them at the top speed since it is bad for the air frame. The F-22 is the fastest we have active but is no longer in production. F-35s we are making now are single engine and less powerful. SR 71 was the fastest production plane ever.
F-22 engines are so powerful it can literally hover since the engines are able to pull in enough air to not stall even when not moving. Im not aware of any other planes that can do this without stalling.
EDIT: Actually Mig-25 is fastest but it cant maneuver much.

Been forever since I've seen that video, 22 was such a financial failure. I don't think we are going to make a manned combat jet as fast as the 22 if you're right since it's pretty much obsolete/pointless

You know, I have been hearing about things like this about Tom Cruise for 30 freaking years. At this point, maybe it all is a lie, and maybe he is in his heart really evil, and perhaps he has a Xenu ray that he can convince people that after he pulls their Good Parts™ out, that he is actually a near saint. Or maybe whatever has convinced him to be so faithful to whatever is going on in Scientology (New Religious Moment/Cult/Pyramid Scheme or some combination of the above) has actually done what Religion used to do for people: Given him a structure that has helped him be a good man.
If you can fake being good for this long, does it matter any more if its real? "Once you learn to fake sincerity, you've got it made, particularly if you can fool yourself."
If the only way into Heaven is to believe in Christ, maybe he won't be there, but who's to say how much company anyone will have? We're all sinners. If this is how Tom thinks he gets to where ever he's going, whatever.
I don't like the Nation of Islam either, but those MFers clean up neighborhoods, too.

men can carry their age much better than women can, USUALLY. Tom Cruise has also been an A List star for 40 goddamned years and he has unlimited funds for the best personal trainers, PEDs, skin treatments, plastic surgeons and makeup artists that money can buy. i guarantee you when he wakes up every morning though he looks like dogshit just like the rest of us.

yup and a personal trainer+dietician will enhance that hard work into the best shape you can be. the guy obviously puts in mad hours working on his physique and looks, but you still need help to take you to the next level.

i dont check immediately off FOH word since the Batman debacle. all it takes is 1 person to fake a release and sound the alarm on some bullshit.
what's the quality?

it's a CAM, hispanic intro card 1xbet bullshit i'm sure there will be ad's and shit later on.
I only downloaded it to see if my friends actually appear on film. few buddies of mine were on the carrier that they were filming this and apparently they were filmed enough that they had to sign releases and all got paid for 1 day of work, like 350 bucks or whatever the hollywood minimum wage thing is. They all got selfies with tom cruise and everything.
kinda salty cus I was on the USS Lincoln when they filmed battleship and I didn't get to meet anyone. Just the shitty b team filming stock footage. had to tip toe around those assholes for 8 hours while they did nothing but get in the way of us launching aircraft, all for a grand total of 40 seconds of montage footage in the movie. if you freeze it just right you can see 1/4 of my head and my thumb on screen for about 0.3 seconds while i'm launching an airplane.

This was ok. Rehash of the first movie for the most part. Don't think too much about what you see and, of course, diversity hires sucked. Surprisingly, "new Iceman" was the least cringe IMO. Felt like the young ones in The Expendables 3(?), gtfo with that crap and give me more of the 80s/90s guys.
Compared to recent wokewood shit, this was way better but I still prefer the first one on any level.

pointless rant
Ok finished it. thought it was decent. warning, going to go on another nitpicking rant:
ugh I hate when movies get just basic facts wrong. Embellish sure, make shit up, idc, but basic shit? is annoying. Like if you were a marine and everytime some hollywood shit has marines running around with their scopes mounted on backwards or shitty trigger discipline. it's infuriating.
Top Gun is in Nevada, not North Island (San Diego). There is no fightertown, San Diego. In fact, there are no fighters at all in San Diego. There's nothing but Helicopters there. Have you even been to North Island? here's a Hint, it's an Island, a rock in the middle of the ocean. You can see the ocean from anywhere on the island. It doesn't look like a desert as far as the eye can see like you see in this film.
The fighters are all in Lemoore. You know, the place where you filmed this entire movie at? The place you name dropped when you said the nerdy new backseater guy was from?
why the fuck would you bother to claim this takes place in North Island vs Lemoore? Or better yet, why not just say Fallon Nevada? It's not like any of these places have name recognition where people will suddenly identify with the movie now.

F18s only have 1 fire bottle, with 3 pathways for the fire extinguishing agent to go through, left engine, right engine, apu. Once she blows it to put out the left engine fire, that's it.
All fighters have FLIR pods (the laser guidance system), there would be no need for the 18Fs (2 seaters) to fly along and lase for the single seaters. 2 Seater fighters are basically pointless, they only have 1 mission (FAC-A), other than that they are mostly used as trainers on land. At sea every carrier has 1 squadron of them but really, the dude in the backseat is basically coffee bitch. he just holds things for the pilot. Most female aviators (99%) are backseaters.
In fact most 18Fs onboard a carrier are actually used for tanking (airborne refueling) even though they are the worst jet possible for this role (they are heavier due to 2 cockpits, yet they hold less fuel also due to 2 cockpits, ergo they burn more fuel to fly and have less fuel for the other aircraft taking fuel from them) and the backseater doesn't do anything in refueling missions. Again its basically a pointless aircraft but someone has to do airborne refueling and there is no point wasting an actual fighter (single seater) on it so we use foxtrots. Also when configured as tankers they don't have FLIR pods.
Now you may be thinking "well the pilot has to focus on flying that's why they used back seaters to focus on lasing" and you would be wrong. No way on earth at those Gs are you going to fucking around with tdc (the mouse) targeting with your fingers like that. In a situation like that where you are dive bombing directly towards the thing you are trying to blow up you would just use boresight/velvec slaving and the laser would automatically target the thing you are flying at.
The foxtrots were there for only one reason, diversity quota. ultimately it's a film about maverick and goose's son, 2 white men. Adding 2 pointless foxtrots to the mix adds 4 extra cast members, and lo and behold, black, female, latino, plus 1 nerd to boot.
The only country we sold F14s to was Iran back before 79...So I take it enemy country enriching uranium was Iran but...snow? also they don't have shit for technology, so like the enemy country was supposed to be some Russia/Iran hybrid nation I guess?

Then he works out for 2 to 3 hours. Not like the rest of us. Tom has a ton of drive and he works very hard at making movies. Drive and hard work tend to pay off over time.
I give him a pass for his personal life, scientology, etc. Because he doesn't talk about it, hasn't had any "public" scandals, and he tends to make the kind of movies i like. Don't really want to know who my favorite actors are as a person. Gets in the way of the character he or she is trying to portray.
That could all change over night if something strange / unforgivable about him came out and ruined his public image though. Just being in a semi cult isn't enough.
