The Sky Crawlers: Difference between revisions
→The video game contains examples of:
Line 79:
** The Fission, Lautern's basic fighter plane, resembles the Tachikawa Ki-94-I and the Junkers EF.112 ground attacker concept.
** The Seiei experimental fighter resembles the Dornier 335 Pfeil, albeit more compact.
** The Sanka is nearly a dead ringer for the J7W1 Shinden, albeit without the swept wings and with
** The Itsuha resembles the Henschel Hs P.75.
** The Shougu resembles the Grumman F8F Bearcat.
** The Skyly D is what you get when you toss multiple WWII aircraft into a blender. It has the nose of a Focke-Wulf Ta 152, the fuselage and contra-rotating twin propellers of a Martin-Baker MB 5, the turbochargers of a P-38 Lighting, and the wings and sliver color scheme of a Fisher P-75 Eagle.
** The Vice is essentially a skinnier, single seater version of the Bf 110 heavy fighter.
** The Senryu has the cockpit of a Junkers Ju 388J night fighter, but the overall body shape of the Boulton Paul P.99.
** The Fortune strongly resembles the Gloster Meteor, only with propellers in a pusher configuration instead of jet engines.
Line 92:
** Lautern's unnamed cargo plane which the player is tasked to shoot down in mission 3 is seemingly a fusion between a Me 323 Gigant and a C-130 Hercules with the triple tail unit of a Boeing 314 Clipper.
** Lautern's unnamed heavy bomber which is used to bomb the Wolfram resemble a Short Stirling, but with the wings of the Avro Lancaster and the six engine pusher configuration of a B-36 Peacemaker.
** Lautern's tank resembles the T-34-85, except that the front of its chassis is taken from the Panther tank.
* [[Alternate Company Equivalent]]: Most of the aircraft the two companies field have clear equivalents with their competitor:
** Rostock's Sanka and Lautern's Skyly are the companies' next generation fighter planes, the Sanka putting an emphasis on maneuverability, while the Skyly is capable of reaching impressive speeds but is harder to control. Additionally, they're the only aircraft known to receive periodic updates to their airframes, with the successor models, the Sanka M-B and the Skyly J2 featuring prominently in the film.
