I love Gundam but the thing that keeps coming to mind about these two is that it's like two petty little kids arguing while playing a game of 'War' "I shot you, you're dead!" "Nuh uh, I blocked your shot with a shield" "Oh Yeah! Well I got extra arms that hold loads of guns so you can't block them" "Nuh uh! I got extra arms that hold loads of shields so I can!" ...and so on...
Not exactly a fan of the invincible new type of weapon trope that doesn’t it all get defeated. There’s no way there aren’t any Zakus getting trashed with all that ordinance the federation is throwing at them.
Also, looks that capital ships are made of 70% paper and 30% HE exposives. No armour. Why then huge ships, if they 1) don't have armour 2) don't have proper defences. Also - it's super stupid to make bridges, the most important part of the ships with UNPROTECTED WITH HUGE GLASS WINDOWS. Super stupid.
Super stupid one-sided battle) Those ships had like x100 firepower and didn't hit a single time at those suits? They have a lot of capital ships with thick armour, big guns, anti-rocket defences and no one single fighter to protect them from small, fast moving targets? They have laser guns, which hit with speed of light and they miss ALL the shots? Thats just plain stupid)
To think of it, the Mobile Suits emitted some kind of radiation particles from the Minovsky Reactors which interfered and jammed many electronic equipments of the Federation, rendering long-rang targeting systems and inter-communications useless. Including Early warning systems. Also, the fighters in space were also at a disadvantage when Mobile Suits were built with AMBAC System, which allows them to fight in omni-directional combat in space as opposed to a 2D combat.
missiles cant lock onto the mobile suits because they had Minovsky Reactors fighters are not omnidirectional objects like a humaniod fighting unit so they are outmatched the rockets are the size of a train that's bigger than anything we had, no amount of armor can protect them from that caliber, they built those ships for suppressive fire power and fleet enagement, the overall designed followed traditional earth ocean vessel. The reason why they used thick glass is because monitors are even more fragile, easy to mulfunction, one power outage and you're blind. The chances of the bridge getting hit by indiscriminate fire from fleet of ships are so low that the benifits of trading protection with visibility is worth it Also those aren't lasers, they are superheated plasma (compressed hot gas)
So, bunch of star-fighters would do the same trick then? What do mobile suits have as advantage, the fact that they are small and more maneuverable? I don't get it.
MS have an inbuilt ECM unlike anything before thanks to the Minovsky Particle's radar interference effect. Basically, the Feddie gunnery teams on all these ships were fighting both the MS and their own weapons the whole time, with the gunnery computers being unable to correctly track the machines.
@@HermitAeon So, they could install that technology on small star-fighters and again, have the same effect. Instead they went with: 'Let's invest massive resources and money into large robots, because they will look cool. Ok. XD
@@jhonsmith7991 Maybe... if the reactors could actually fit on the small starfighter designs. All preexisting starfighters seem to be fully conventional rocket engines - it's likely that if you tried to retrofit those fighters you'd just get a mobile suit sized fighter craft for no real benefit other than having M-particles. In other series we see the results of this line of thought applied to tanks, and they failed like their superheavy ancestors in WWII. Besides, the AMBAC systems in the limbs allow MS to reorient themselves using inertia faster than flywheel systems and without using thruster propellant, making them more maneuverable than said fighters anyway.
@@jhonsmith7991 also the armor would be denser than the fighters because the power supply allowed for more powerful motors. Fighters are more nose to tail, while mobile suits were correctly more tuned for space combat. Their mobility is more omni directional. Then their EM sig was masked preventing early radar systems ineffective.
Thanks for uploading this boring "this side hits with every round and every hit is a kill, the other side doesn't hit ever and if it did, would have bounced on the armor" fight that has convinced me to put this... show in my "never bother" list.
Zaku is the correct plural of Zaku, the Zaku are Zaku never "Za-cooz" nor "Zaku's" unless you mean to describe the Zaku's properties~nature(design and its limits). The Japanese are not saying "Zakus" as their plural for the word, which is indeed their word and bot ours as English users ao why impose the suffix "s"?
There are two things i love of this scene The similarity in the cold war behavior from both parties trying to obtain the main force behind the MS The clear demonstration of superior design and tactics by Zeon forces over the Federation that wanted to sustain the Guncannon like Suits over the more Mobile (Polivalent) Suit
