Also, three words: Lightning storm created.

Or use the thing's less than impressive speed to stand on the cockpit's window and pout the pilot into submission.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

#329703 Steventheman Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:09:58 PM from Wales

Oh, good point actually.

What if the pilot did a barrel roll?

Okay, yeah, skilled pegasi can outfly Warthog, no denying that.

#329705 Japanese Teeth Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:12:14 PM from Meinong's jungle

It really depends what strategy they take. If they charge it head on, yeah, they're turning to red mist. If they take the tactical route and create a superpowered lightning bolt or a tornado at range, all bets are off. All it takes is a distraction long enough for one or two to land on the surface of it; at that point they can just pound away at leisure. And unless it has a ball turret, it's gonna have a tough time actually hitting the pegasi unless they're dumb enough to attack it head on.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

What's an A-10?

Basically it is a goddamned flying tank from Hell equipped with a badass 30mm Avenger Gatling gun the likes of which would make the Terminator soil his extra-tight leather pants.

Not fly. Drive

Never underestimate the value of pegasi carrying rocks either. A few of those going through your turbofan is going to cause issues.

@D Roy: The gun is badass, but it's worthless if they can't get the target in front of it.

Yeah, I know.

On the second, it really isn't designed for aerial combat, it's more for CAS.

#329714 Applelight Limited Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:20:53 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

I don't think anything flying we have can take on the Pegasi. They can create lightning and tornadoes.

But, a battery of old fashioned flak guns? That's a lot of dead ponies...

I'm liking how this thread is turning out.

And of course, nothing says "Final Smash" like a Trident.

By the way Steve, have you play Psychonauts? I think there are some things in there you'dl ike.

#329718 Steventheman Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:26:30 PM from Wales

No, but from what I've heard, I should keep an eye out for it.

#329719 Japanese Teeth Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:26:32 PM from Meinong's jungle

Yeah, if we're ever under attack by Pegasi, attempting to take them on in the air would be dumb. It's flack guns and guided missiles all the way. Maybe the occasional drone. Essentially make them come to us.

Hmm, how high can the pegasi fly? AC-130 Spectre

has service ceiling (maximum altitude it can function under) of 9, 100m, which is roughly 6 miles. I'm pretty sure pegasi can reach that altitude. In that case, they can just rain down howitzer

like a wrath of gods.

Pegasi have weather control. We're pretty much boned. They can either flood or parch all farmland and make things a battle of attrition.

In their environment, yes. I am not sure if they can pull off the same thing in ours.

#329725 Orion Aurora Thu, 17th Jan '13 5:33:29 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

I don't know how high (in a measurable distance) I flew, but I do recall a point where I could notice the curve of the earth... and then I passed out.
