Attack helicopters are scary war machines? Japanese military doesn't think so, introducing "cute" an - Polidicks

I was under the impression that most of the japanese were NOT actually weeabos. edit: if i was one of their feodal ancestors, i would say: Shamefur Disrpay.

[QUOTE=OrionChronicles;38099734]I don't like it personally. Its a bit silly, and attack helicopters are supposed to be intimidating. If I am in a tank and I see that coming I'll be laughing my ass off while my .50cal gunners line up a shot.[/QUOTE] You realize that attack helicopters are the literal counter to armored vehicles.

Kawaii as fuck. [QUOTE=Nemisis116;38102369]Patriotic as shit that's what it is So is the eagle helicopter There needs to be an America rating[/QUOTE] Is there anything you Americans don't want customized to your country?

[QUOTE=Tudd;38100312]I always find it so interesting, how one of the most brutal/fearsome nations of the 20th century, now aspire to be as "cute" and fucking weird as possible.[/QUOTE] I am wondering if it is actually similar in origin to how Germany is now horribly anxious about violence and bans violent games and everything.

Yay desensitizing war and killing

*Japanese approach Pearl Harbor* "OMG, SO HAWAII~"

Reminds me of the Bonta-kun Power suit from Full Metal Panic. [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b196/Starmenclock/1506-bonta_11.jpg[/IMG]

I heard Japan has also been working on a new generation of nuke (pony content) [video=youtube;lYyBNEOP-Bk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYyBNEOP-Bk[/video] nya~~

Japan might have helicopters with anime characters, but we have an even cuter weapon: [video=youtube;3akshKMSpyY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3akshKMSpyY[/video]

Genius. I'd never go out if there was a chance that my after action report could read "Killed in action by Kisarazu Akane Kawaii japanese AH-1S Cobra"

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;38102605]Wow is that a helicopter flying upside down?[/QUOTE] As long as you keep the rotor loaded and within limits the helicopter doesn't really have to know it's upside-down. Like if you could keep a constant 1G load throughout a loop it would feel just like flying in a straight line at a constant altitude (to both you and the rotors/airframe). There are a few helicopters out there that can be safely unloaded or even sustain negative Gs, the BO 105 being a popular example.

I'm not an expert on actual helicopters ,however CCPM RC helicopters can fly upside down as well. The rotor can have a positive pitch as well as a negative. I assume the same may hold true on real ones as they basically use the same rotor head design.
