' Wrote:Quick question, why don't planes in the real world have missiles or weapons that can fire towards the rear?

The only time I've seen this idea be implemented is in Firebird (a prototype super-jet with rear mounted missiles) and arguably Star Wars in the Hoth battle.

I can only see it as aerodynamic and weight issues, is there a real reason?

you mean like this?
