Yes, I am going to keep posting bits of this book

Because computers networking is SEXY, okay? I would like TF fandom to make giant robots this sexy.

On my TacLink screen, I see that the remaining Dragonflies have networked their fire-control systems and launched their antiair ordnance after the Shrike that just took out a quarter of our offensive air power. The computers ripple-fire all the missiles on the Dragonflies ’ wingtips— one, two, four, eight, twelve.

I would like/kudos/<3 this if DW had the option, but it does not, so here is the equivalent comment as I have no brain currently.

I'm not generally a fan of hard military science fiction, but these books...well, they read like fanfiction, and I mean that in the very best way, not a pejorative way. They're FUN to read, and every time there's a pause to describe cool technology wheeeee! I go "Why why WHY isn't this SOP for giant robot war machines? WHY?"

And then I share, because sharing is love.
