Warbirds of the CFR

Discussion: For reasons not entirely clear to anyone, the CFR started deploying modernized versions of the ancient Warbirds of WWII; That the advent of these fighters came AFTER the advent of Techno-Wizard versions of the same may have been a factor.
One thing that HAS come up is dodging; When a pilot of a Warbird tries to dodge with his/her propeller spin direction, the plane practically folds through the air; Even the best of the best have trouble keeping up with that. Additionally, �dive dodging�, or dropping down out of the sky as fast as possible, is easier with the Warbirds, due to the lower power of the engines.
Equal to equal, Warbirds stand NO chance against jets fighter, but they can still hold the line against some incursions, and are an ideal stalling force.

P-6 Hellcat
The first Warbird was the Hellcat; Early evaluations were promising, and when testing was complete, a full wing was sent to the Navy for evaluation. The plane had "phenomenal" potential, vis-a-vis like planes, but could NOT be endorse for general Navy use until later on, when they were deployed for near-fleet and coastal ASW duties.
Several mercenary outfits bought the planes, and have flown them ever since. Their testimonials have convinced a few of the poorer cities to purchase the planes independently of the National Guard and Navy. The planes now fly in several cities across the state, and a few foreign ports.

Another P-6 Hellcat.

P-38 Lightning Fighter
The P-38 was made to a specific request from the city of Sacrament for a twin-engine air superiority night fighter. What they got was the P-38, built under contract by manufactures selected by each of the four cities separately.
The program has proven a limited success; The Fire Department reported stalling problems with their planes, which California Aviation (the manufacturer) AND their own contractor blamed on a re-design, in which the props were set to rotate opposite (left wing clockwise, right counterclockwise), but which their engineer blamed on poor engine design and improper manufacturing; Never the less, they re-fitted some of their planes with the twin clockwise-rotating engines. There were also reports of wildy responsive right banks in excess of reason, a strange gun jam problem eventually traced to poor workmanship at the factory, and a few others; The Police Department is generally satisfied with their version.
Since then, a few Civil Defence Forces�s have picked up the design, but these are few and FAR between.

P-4� Warhawk
Fundamentally flawed as a fighter, the P-4� has insufficient range to make it truly effective in that role; It�s limited flight range means it cant stay up as long, and therefore it�s patrol time is shorter than that necessary for an effective front-line fighter.
However, field experience shows that what it loses in range, it has MORE than make up for in speed and flexibility; As fast as the P-51 and able to strafe ground targets AS WELL AS duke it out in the air, the P-4 has turned what promised to be a short career as a concept prover into a HIGHLY productive career as an attack fighter.
Typically, these planes are posted at the center of a zone, or �Area.� P-38's patrol the larger �District� looking for trouble. Once an incursion is detected, the P-38's will loiter for the 3� to 45 minutes needed to get the P-4�'s on scene; They blast away until the more effective P-51's arrive.
They are, however, the par excellence ground attacker; They can blast anything on the ground, even going toe-to-toe with L-�8 Rail Launchers and even light and medium robots and shrugging the attacks of (or so it seems).

P-51 Mustang


The P-51 is THE air supremacy fighter of the Warbird series; It was the very reason the series came to be, and GDL purchased the entire first run of 25,��� planes (even though GDL had only HALF that many personnel).
The Mustang is, in truth, up to dogfighting Guardian Fighters, given the right conditions- Most important of which is good ground control (to tell the pilots the enemies location of the Guardians location without the pilot using his own radar) and clouds to hide in and night fighting (which slightly favors the Mustang). Of all the Warbird Series, ONLY the P-51 has Stealth and Chameleon Visibility Limiting, as well as MOST other standard fighter features.

Standard Features
� Stealth: Gives the aircraft the radar cross-section equivelent to that of a hummingbird, hides the infared signature to that of a bad cough, and minimizes other radiation from the craft to essetially nil. The aucustic siganture also has been minimized using various techniques. Evffective prowl of 73% (against radar only).
� Radar: Combat grade radar. Range 1�� miles, can track up to 2�� individual targets. 9�% reliability (no reliability against unfriendly stealthed air vehicles, 1�% against unfriendly ground vehicles).
� Chameleon System: The M-221 is the only ground vehicle currently using the Chaeleon System; Pleizio-ceramic tiles darkened or lightened as necessary to render the craft invisible. Effective Prowl of 2�%, or +15% when combined with other techniques.
Minimum Effective Distance: 2� feet.
� Electronic Counter Measures (ECM): These systems disrupt enemy radar and tracking systems, making it difficult for them to lock onto the ship with weapons. The countermeasures give the Mecha a +3 to dodge, +2 to strike and +1 on initiative in combat.
� E.S.M.: Radar Detector. Passively detects other radars being operated.
� A.J.P.: Active Jamming Pod. Causes -25% to detection but when it is active, other vehicles/bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a -4 penalty to all radar guided weapons.
� GPS: Standard tracking device. Ties into the Blue Force Tracker.
� Full range optic sensory suite: Infrared, ultra violet, Magnification, night sight, color filters, thermal imager. Range is about 2�� miles for MOST sensors.
� Motion Detector: Activates a loud wailing when an object is coming at the user fast, and a soft ringing if it�s coming slowly. Activation ranges must be specified by the pilot.
� Blue Force Tracker: Identifies friend from foe. Overlays the information on both the radar and HUD, ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally targeted.
� MRA 6 Radios: Allows real time, continuous radio link up with friendly forces in the area via satellite relay over laser radio signals, preventing jamming, and automatically encrypts/decrypts same to prevent eavesdropping.
� Type-11 wide band radios: Effective 1� mile range, auto encrypt/decrypt. Works on standard radio band wavelengths, so it can still be jammed (if the enemy knows the frequencies).
� HUD: Displays targeting, airspeed, artificial horizon, and true direction information directly in front of the pilot.
� FLIR/SLIR: Forward and Side Looking Infrared. Allows pilot to get visuals on targets at night. Note: The sysems ONLY has forward looking infrared, not side looking.
� Video Camera: 2�,���X zoom lens, records all data observed by the unit. 5,��� hours of recording available.
� Magnetic Clamps: Electro magnets on the pads of the landing struts allow the planes to adhere to the hulls of warships and the exteriors of SOME buildings.
� Decoys: Specially modified Mini-Missiles used as decoys; Burning globs of magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems, as well as creating a lot of smoke to obscure the Mecha. Note: Though the modified mini-missiles combine smoke flares, AMC/FDs, and LDP�s, they aren�t powerful enough for use with Destroids/Guardians/Etc. Reduce effects by 2�% against smart missiles (add +2�% to rolls for smart missiles.)
Effect:
�1-5�: Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud - Missiles are all destroyed.
51-75: Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target).
