Military / Defense | | German term or phrase: Angriffsjäger | This is actually a software text and there is just this one example of military use. Obviously, it was a mistake to steer clear of the boys who used to play war games at school ;-) According to my web research, an Angriffsjäger is an interceptor. Can anyone confirm or offer an alternative? We're talking about air forces, by the way.
Thank you

| | Clarification request(s) and responseMandy Williams (asker): 2:21pm Aug 8, 2004: Oops, I think I'd better clear up the confusion! This translation has NOTHING TO DO WITH GAMING!! I just meant that if I had taken an interest in my fellow pupils' lunch-time activities, the right word might be familiar to me. But somehow I didn't foresee this situation when I was a teenager!
tectranslate: 9:46am Aug 9, 2004: Can we get more context, please? A list of all (or at least several) aircraft types in your text would help to find a matching term. The term could describe an "attack plane" such as the F/A 18 Hornet or "fighter bomber" F/B 111. Or A 10 Thunderbolt II... -

| | attacker, offensive fighter | Explanation:
Vorsicht, man muß zwischen Angreiven und Abfangen (Verteidigen) unterscheiden:
interceptor = Abfangjäger
intercept = abfangen, Weg abschneiden
Angreifer = aggressor, attacker
Angriffslust = aggression
Angriffsspieler = attacking player
Angriffswaffe = offensive weapon
Ein "Angriffsjäger" wäre dann ein attacker oder offensive fighter.

Übrigens gibt es in allen Staaten nur Verteidigungsminister und nie \"Angriffsminister\", auch wenn diese Staaten andere überfallen wollen. Selbst dann wird behauptet, daß man sich nur \"verteidigt\".
Warum man in \"War Games\" die Maske so offensichtlich fallen läßt? Muß man wirklich seine Aggressionen durch Überfallen Anderer ausleben?

| intruder
Explanation:
At least that's what they call them at this war games site.
Angriffsjäger
Dieser Schiffstyp wird überwiegend auf Planeten eingesetzt. Angriffsjäger sind auch für Verteidigungsaufgaben einsetzbar. Er kann aber nur, wenn überhaupt, kurze interstellare Distanzen bewältigen. Angriffsjäger gibt es für verschiedene Aufgabenbereiche wie Aufklärung, Panzerabwehr und Erhaltung der Lufthoheit.
Intruder
The Intruder is mostly used on planets to attack your Enemy and also protect your Stations.
If possible, he can only hyper jump a short distance and therefore is only used for short range missions like exploration or protect your air sovereignty.

| interceptor
Explanation:
Your "interceptor" makes sense, seeing as how the "Angriffsjäger" is an offensive ship that "hunts" its prey... :-)

| Attack fighter
Explanation:
Similar to Johannes' answer, but I think this precise form is correct for present-day military aircraft.
Interceptor was more commonly used during the Second World War, so that might be better is that is the period in which the game is set.
Kim's answer could be right if the game is set centuries into the future - who knows what they will call them then (maybe by that time everyone will be speaking Klingon!)
