I'm rather amazed that any production staff sees fit to pay this kind of attention to the way their technology should work.
Like the producers of Yukikaze, Kawamori went as far as consulting an entire Japanese Air Self-Defense Force staff team for technical assistance. They deserve some major credits for getting things right.

Thus one of the reasons why I still love Macross more than anything else, even more than Gundam.
