Wing Commander - A-17D Broadsword 

The Broadsword... good memories! 🤩

I always prefered either the Sabre or Thunderbolds. Still when heavy firepower was needed the Broadsword was your weapon of choice.

We seriosuly need a remake of the first two wing commander games. Those images are gorgeous 😢.

the actual mad-lad got this out before the new year, hot damn xD

I am not sure the broadsword is a coffin with guns or tank but it was a damn cool design

One of my top favorites in WC2. The switching to the turrets was so much fun and the triple mass drivers just shred through Kilrah's finest fighters.

Great narration as always, and your VFX are getting increasingly better with each new video! Happy New Year dude!

One of my fondest memories of Wing Commander was making my name Damnit "Damnit" Damnit. That way, whenever someone would get mad at me in the game, they'd say, "Damn it, Damnit!"

I need to watch a playthrough of this game at some point.

The Longbow looks like a huge step backwards.

Ah the Nephilim, love the organic; almost coral ship designs & the creature designs themselves. Although only seen on one cutscene if I recall were refreshingly none humanoid. Yeah I'm still angry that EA Pulled the plug on the Nephilim trillogy... Yet ported Prophecy to the God damn Game Boy Advance 8 years after release. Because why not Slightly off topic, sorry. It's great to see more content from you Mac ^_^

Broadsword is a great ship

I remember the few missions that we got to fly this beast in Wing Commander 2, I would switch to third-person camera when surrounded by Kilrathi fighters. The three neutron turrets would automatically fire on enemies within range while I try to dodge incoming fire. Quite often, this was more effective at taking out large numbers of Kilrathi than in first-person cockpit view where you only controlled the forward guns. Loved this ship.

Wow. Just found you. Love wing commander. Great channel

Lovely old bird. Happy new year.

Nice. It's like the A-10 but futuristic. Lol Dude your channel is so damn good. I have a ton of these books I found at a thrift store and I love them. I'm missing like 3 or 4 of the whole collection. So thank you for bringing these craft to life. Happy New Years and always check six.

Amazing work and great voiceover work as well.

Wow this lore series is awesome!

I am a big fan of the Privateer game I love my centurion.

So good, awesome job mate!! Many a capital ship destroyed with this beast!!!💪💪

The quality of your videos are so well done.

God if there was ever a franchise in need of a remaster and resurrection..

Short and sweet, always looking forward to more WC lore. Do keep it coming, the more the better.

Oh I still remember the Broadsword from the “Wing Commander Academy” cartoon.

Well, this is it. My favorite ship from WC 2. Yes, she's slow, but she's got teeth. All over her, as the video shows. With those three turrets you could switch over to on the fly, no light fighter could sneak up on me. And you were the bane of any capship. After this, the Longbow just didn't entirely measure up for me, even though I, as a general rule, prefer flying heavy fighters and bombers in flight-sims, as opposed to light and medium fighters.

Your history explanations are spot on!

Hell yea, happy new year mac

One important and interesting game that most people overlook in the Wing commander series is Wing commander Armada. Particularly the manual "Voices of War" contains captains logs of the first contact between the Kilrathi and the Terran's and explains how the war started. in addition in a campaign if you tell it to actually allow you to fight the combat instead of just going by the odds it is the only game in the wing commander series that lest you pilot Kilrathi ships aside a few missions in SM2. in addition it was the first introduction of the Arrow (one of my favorite fighters in the series), the reaper cannon, and some other control features ("autoslide" button ) that were included in Wing commander 3. Its also the only canon Wing commander game where you can fly a Gladius. but also there were some new ships and weapons' that didn't make it into wing commander 3 that are also very interesting. and by the way its multi player mode is a lot of fun to use if you want some WC bragging rights against someone who claims to be better at the game than you :)

Broadsword rear terret is always my triumph card. ps. Fly slow then wait for them to line up on my 6 . ^_^

I'm old enough to remember wing commander so this brings back happy memories of my childhood. Love wing commander stuff. Shame the movie was abysmal.. Will you be doing the Concordia class, and Midway class? Happy new year mac 🎉😊👍

My fav was the wasp 🐝

Note, that antimatter guns also penetrated phase shields. (and occassionally stray pilots...}

i always wondered if the gunnery crew was just left to die if you ejected in WC2

i love the broadsword

I loved the design of this ship since I first saw the animated series. I was very disappointed when I finally got to play a game that featured it as it was so slow. Eventually came around a little, but I still hate some of the dogfight-heavy missions in one but love the look of the fighter. Cool video.

Can you cover the alliance coalition war from the Starlancer game

Not to be confused with the Halo universe's UNSC space fighter mass produced in the post-Human-Covenant War era, this craft.

Good to see you again how is the heavy gear lore going for you

Looks amazing. I am curious why you said the Gothri was the first torp bomber, rather than the Grikath (Klavs has a model for that). I would also, if it's not too late for the final video mention the fact that a torpedo's lock time is a danger, so the turrets have their jobs cut out for them. My understanding was that sabres/rapiers/swords were deployed in other engagements, just not on the victory. Any truth to that? As always, this is a work of beauty. Thanks Mac!

I preferred the heavy fighters personally. As far as WCII bombers I’d rather have the Crossbow

At this point are you still using FRED (with WC Dark Saga in this case) for these scenes or something like blender? Still, really like your content and have begun the Earth\Star Siege playlist.

I survive more fights with Broadswords than woth Sabres, for some reason.

Wooow!! Just epic!! Not to mention your amazing narration and ability to well convert pixellated designs from wc2 into well defined VFX! Well done Mac's lore!! You are one of those rarities left who still revels in good lore! Really was looking fwd to this! May your tribe grow!👏👏👏👏

it feel like you are talking about a10C...

How come spaceships have a maximum velocity? I can understand maximum acceleration, but velocity?
