Welcome back to Editorials on the Imperial Arsenal, in which I, a somewhat-informed amateur, look at my beloved Astra Militarumβs weapons and vehicles and talk about the ways in which I want to change them, based primarily on the lore and secondly on my limited knowledge of the game rules. If by some miracle a GW person reads this, they have blanket permission to use these ideas.
After having gone through the various Aeronautica Imperialis I-canβt-believe-theyβre-not-helicopters, itβs time to take a look at their airplanes. I titled this post CTOL craft, which I think is a real acronym meaning βConventional Takeoff and Landingβ as opposed to Vertical (VTOL) and Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing (STOVL). That means the Lightning, Thunderbolt, Avenger, and Marauder. These planes are not totally conventional in their means of takeoff and landing, since some of them have rocket boosters to assist in takeoff and void flight. Like with the previous post, a lot of the changes that I would like to see are just expanding weapon options, but there are a couple of entirely new planes that I think should exist in 40k.
Before getting into the aircraft, itβs worth getting into some educated speculation about the Aeronautica Imperialis as an institution. They are definitely part of the Imperial Navy, but a separate branch having little in common with the fleet. Itβs not clear whether the Navy is managed by the Departmento Munitorum like the Guardβ it would make sense if they were, but the Imperial Munitorum Manual book does not mention the Navy at all and only explains Guard-related things. The Munitorum apparently was created from a naval administration branch called the Corps Logisticae during the Great Crusade, but no word on whether it replaced the Corps Logisticae or supplemented it. Iβm leaning towards ignoring the Munitorum Manual and saying that the Navy is handled by the Munitorum, since back when it was founded the Imperial Army had not yet been separated into Navy and Guard.
Anyways, I think itβs safe to say that both the Navy and Guard are subject to civilian oversight and management, and that civilian bureaucracy plays a major role in acquiring equipment from the Mechan

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.
If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.
Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???
Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.
Thank you,
A Dad.
Well, toucan play at that game.
#The F-3 "Rodan" (γ©γγ³): All Under the Midnight Sun
INTERNAL STATE RELEASE | Issued January 1st, 2022 - 12:00 |
Description (General Overview of the Program)
The State of Japan has finalized the most recent and exciting endeavor, called the F-3 "Rodan" (γ©γγ³) it represents the highest class and most technologically advanced Stealth Air Superiority Fighter in history and in development, designed to be a direct successor to the F-22 Raptor and built upon the joint knowledge bases from the F-X Japan Future Fighter Program and the Triumvirate Republic's own American Expertise. The Fighter is a combination of the F-X Program, and of the knowledge bases gained from the F-22 Raptor and F-35 II Lightning Programs.
The combined development funds and teams of the Triumvirate and Japan - will be working with nearly $34 billion dollars over the development cycle which lasts until 2030. As this is a direct successor (not an outright new aircraft), built and designed based upon the F-22/F-35 Programs, we suspect that a shorter dev time would be theoretically possible. Likewise this will allow us to establish a full-large scale production facilities for the aircraft and its next generation developments.
Role of the F-3A "Rodan"
The F-3A and F-3C Rodan (Carrier variant) is designed specifically and solely with Stealth Air Superiority in mind. A secondary focus is given to electronic warfare, and a tertiary focus to ground-missions. Nevertheless, the F-3 "Rodan" series is designed very specifically to dominate the skies and pursue total lethality against enemy aircraft. It is suspected to by a 6th gen aircraft, as we revolutionize a return towards dedicated SASF.
Through its next-generation stealth technology, the F-3 will be able to close distances and strike from range, a direct counter to ongoing hostile investment into radar and other over-the-horizon technologies which put existing aircraft at risk. Furthermore, the vastly improved mobility and general dog-fighting capability, means that it is also an extremely lethal dogfighting aircraft.
From a use perspective, the F-3 is designed to conduct flight missions which entail reaching high altitudes, utilizing stealth/EW jamming and targeting to close distance before engaging with next-generation missiles. If caught in a scenario in which an unexpected hostile appears, it can also engage in extremely lethal dogfighting and if out of missile

Japan.
That was the punchline
Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.
I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.
When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."
From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"
Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.
Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
Without missing a beat he asks "Daddy, do you know how much room you need to grow Fungi like that?"
I did not know.
So he tells me "as Mushroom as possible!"
So proud.

He was so brave and even tried to encourage us, the family around him, with his last breaths. He kept whispering to us to Be Positive.
He said, βChange the batteries in your hearing aidβ.
So far no one has given me a straight answer.
