Gunships are really underrated, they’re crazy effective just hovering overhead and providing fire support on the heavy hitters hiding being the front line
I think they don't care since these aircraft some fucking how can reach 2200 kmh (average today fighter speed) even being a godam square How? The explanation would be straps strong ass engine to brick but how air resistance don't break them apart is scary
@@miguelmartins5968better materials and engineering. The imperium is decaying for 9k years but they have 29k years of engineering and advanced on us before that.
I prefer the design of the Xiphon pattern interceptor. That thing looks advanced, sleek and fast as hell. The fact it looks like s BSG colonial viper too helps
In the 41st millenium, everyone has laser or beam weapons that can instakill any aircraft with insufficient armor so using flying bricks make sense in this setting.
strange that the aquila lander doesn't have a turret on the back, especially when you already see a coupola that could be easily replaced by a turret it's especialy weird that a VIP transport shuttle has no way to protect her 6
40k tech of course... much better armed, much better weapons and targeting systems, similar speed... just because stylization lean towards mix between medieval and WWII aesthetic doesnt mean that technology is inferior... just like with star wars, ships/tanks/weapons may look wanky but would destroy any modern day equivalent.
could just as well post a full poster of all aircraft first, so anyone can have a look the story of every aircraft is not worth listening to anyway... video could've been 20 seconds long
The thought has occured to me that an Ace Combat style 40k game would be phenomenal
Basically project wingman with exterminatus at the end against chaos infused plane.
imperial airforce sum up in one sentence: the guard's armour so good they make them flying
"I can't even spell aerodynamics" - WH40k
if you pay the omnissiah and the god emperor enough, a brick will fly eventually

6:27 the Stuka of the WH40K universe.
The entire imperium air force looks like its designed un the ww2 era so
6:57 and here's a WH40K B17
Avenger is more Il-2 than Stuka as this is frontline attacker aircraft not dive bomber
More Like a dieselpunk variant of the A-10 Warthog...
@@leander2843 yeah, if you think about this, WH40k is just diselpunk in space sprinkled with mind magic
Honestly i was curious about imperial aircraft for a while and this came up
The Avenger is like the A-10's older angrier brother.
Thanks I love informative videos like this.
With enough Dakka, anything can fly...
Imperium doesn't seem to care much for aerodynamics I guess it's not that important.

The fact that the Guard does not have something equivalent to the AC-130 Specter is a crime. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130)
Love the avenger, best mix between a stuka, an A10 and a pod racer.
Also where's the xyphon?
The wings and general profile are more reminiscent of a Corsair
the xyphon is a space marine aircraft, these are just imperial navy aircraft
@@epicassassin8502redcon,nice pfp 👍
So the thunderbolt is the P-47 thunderbolt of wh40k?
Cool.
Anything remotely similar to the Tomcat is automatically my favorite.
I prefer the design of the Xiphon pattern interceptor. That thing looks advanced, sleek and fast as hell. The fact it looks like s BSG colonial viper too helps
well thats space marine tech... guard is suppose to be anything but sleek and high tech looking...
I like how most of the imperialm fighterships are obviously just 40k version ww1 and ww2 fighter planes
Looking for a STC with the data marked “aerodynamics" as it appears to be forgotten in the grim darkness of the far future.
Aviation of the 21st century, speed and aerodynamics. Aviation in the 41st millennium, a flying iron, with an elegant brick-shaped body😁
Don't forget its power source is superior
@@someidiot881 enough to make astartes bricks enter and exist earth atmosphere.

@@someidiot881 the Lighting uses F100's. The same engine as the F15
I just realized from top view their jet resemble Imperium Aquila
where the hell do they keep the ammo for all those guns?
You forgot the Arvus Lighter
Not generally armed, but yeah

Gotta be careful changing such things around the Mechanicus. They have little humor about such
@@dwrdwlsn5 yeaaaah there is that too, but look, just have to say that it was Cawl idea, then it will be okay
They all look more scifi and a lot more cooler and futuristic reversed
Highway to the Danger Zone.
Why does the imperium use ww2 designs?
they have guys walking in "knight like" armor
@@nextrobo7964 you mean by Imperial knights.
because GW doesnt know how to make vehicles that look cool
Ruggedness
A lot are missing, fury interceptor, shark assault boat, starhawk bomber to only talk about navy.
IIRC Fury Interceptor are only used in space, and this video focus on atmospheric craft.
@@amauryleblanc7979 still a lot missing
Add a comment...
Corvus Blackstar?
This aircraft is special aircraft for , and only for Deathwatch, in this video is about Aironaftica Imperialis
@@АлашТурк In Dedicato Imperatum Ultra Articulo Mortis 🔥💀🔥

the only aircraft i know is the valkyries
F-22 vs these flying bricks. Who'd win?

@archongaur1191 now the question is.
Who would win: these flying bricks
Or
Some plot armor
@@Slushi_Fan_682 f22 if it has tons of plot armor.
@@archongaur1191
Get Mobius 1 or Trigger and you'll get the plot armor.
Simply put. The F-22. All of these were designed using early WW2 ideology.
So much drag....
