ITT: Fictional weapons/vehicles that look cool but would be retarded for practical use.

Every space fighter ever designed with a human pilot

small fighter ships in space are pointless. It's all capital baby

What happens when you need to GTFO off a planet? If you need to move locations, no RC fighter is gonna remedy that problem. Unless you have a trillion credits lying around for a giant frigate/capital ship with shields and energy weapons to stow away in your backyard

Space fighters are already dubious because of pilot G force limitations but space fighters that are also single stage to orbit spaceplanes is pure space magic. If we allow space magic engines though I still think you'd see larger SSTO ships, maybe a few thousands tons for something like an atmosphere-capable destroyer

What were they thinking?

It'd be based if not for the giant glass cockpit. No reason not to just have a shitload of cameras and some backup periscopes/viewports. Why the fuck did it need a huge glass front?

Leviathan from UT2004

As cool as it was, IRL it looks like it'd high-center every 5 minutes, and its slow speed would make it ATGM bait.

Man I played the shit out of that game back in the day but barely remember that vehicle

>Combat airdropped

>155mm mass accelerator cannon and coaxial-mounted machine gun

>Thrusters for bouncing up the side of mountains

>Capable of ramming Geth Colossus onto their fucking asses or off the side of mountains

M-44 Hammerhead enthusiasts can fuck right off and take your shitty little paper thin piece of shit with you.

ND1 Nomad bros can stay. You're misguided, but you're alright.

It was only ever available on the really big maps.

Technically fictional even though it's just my autism but would a horse-sized pic related (frame adjusted for a human to sit on) be retarded to ride or would there be some practical use—perhaps in a skirmishing capacity?

Droid star fighters are the most likely future for space wars

manko :DDDDD

NTA but Halo Reach's fighter booster system looked like total fiction when it came out but today seems more realistic. Looking at the thrust to mass ratio of Musk's new Raptor engines, it's reasonable to see a relatively small booster put those Fullback-sized spacecraft into orbit.

I know that 40k is just posting on easy mode, but just imagine trying to run the logistics for a vehicle like this.

To be fair in 40k they would have some dedicated logistics center staffed by 800 million cyborg slaves to supply everything for this one tank

This one just seems too outdated for its setting. It's supposed to be a Star Wars weapon but it's pretty much an MLRS from Earth

That thing is also a troop transport with a capacity of 40 and has firing ports for 20 of them to shoot out.
