Here in the UK a plane known as the Hawker Hunter was used a
fair few years ago , Now this was in the times when gun power
was still highly thought of and so the Air Frame was designed
with a winch in drop out gun pack consisting of Four 25mm auto
cannon and there ammo , now the plane cant fly without this pack
, and several have ended up in the hands of individuals, Now
they may have the gun pack replaced with a properly weighted
section, but the ability to mount the things is unafected, Also
if you want some truly diturbing news there are at least 3
privatly owned V- Bombers in the UK ( i think at least 2 are
vulcans) and these have enough legs to do some real damage .
Milatry vechicle do have maitenance problems as people
have mentioned , old ones also have fatige problems that mean
large parts need replacing, If the PCs get that euro fighter and
you want to make the thing to damm expensive to keep, well have
it had a couple of lax overhalls so the wing struts, etc need
replacing due to fatige damage, the players then have a choise
make it themselfs ( do you have large chunks of the correct
alloy and a full workshop and the designs ) , Or they can try to
nick the bits ..... Imagane 4 runners trying to get a 4meter
long wing rib out of any where... It should be fun to see them
try.
enough blatering though.........back to our regularly scheduled
lunicy
