I heard the Sabre might not be a stealth fighter?
TL;DRThe Sabre is a dogfighter with an emphasis on stealth, like a modern air superiority fighter, and the earlier remark was a mix-up with a different concept, with no design change planned for its stealth.
I was on the interview with Nikki 'Batgirl' D'Angelo. She does a weekly, sometimes weekly interview with me for some reason. And she asked me something like, is the Sabre still a stealth fighter? And I was like, no, it's not a stealth fighter. In my head, I'm thinking super angular, F-117, actually a bomber. So to clear this up, the Sabre is a dogfighter with an emphasis on stealth. It's like a modern air superiority fighter. Thank you to the person who pointed this out. It's the F-22, the F-35. It's designed to dogfight other aircraft, and to be very stealthy, which in our mechanic means lower signature, lower observability, so on and so on.
As opposed to like an F-117.
Yeah, as opposed to like an F-117 or a B-2 or something. What I had in my head, and this is something we've been discussing as a later in the year concept, is an actual stealth, stealth, stealth something that looks like it's angular and radar absorbent, and its whole purpose is to get into battle, fire a missile and get out or something. So that is what threw me there. Not an intent to reduce the stealth. No design change for the stealth plans for the Sabre.
You have a lot of ship information rattling around in your head.
I do. Sometimes it collides. In fact, there's like a 300 email thread right now that's like ship classifications, and it's every single reference I ever made, they've gathered up, and they're like, but what is a medium fighter? There's no such thing as a medium fighter. And I just reply, no, it's from Wing Commander. Doesn't that make sense to you? Nobody else understands how I think. My brain is too much Wing Commander and 1990s books about World War II airplanes to make sense to anyone.
