Well, that would be an awfully good thing to mention.
Well maybe I thought you would've had some common sense, like USEC did. MY BAD.

As would various little details about what the norm is in the world.
Zeon can't just KNOW that kind of detail about the Federation. They haven't even started fighting yet. Maybe if this was set ten or fifteen years into the war between them but its not. Just stop asking questions and LOOK AT THE GODDAMN CRUISER.

ONE OF YOU JUST LOOK AT IT.

Which is remarkably lacking in any kind of practical data.

Aren't I from a Side? And in the military? And presumably I've prepared for fights like this?
I can Caps Lock, too.
WHY ARE YOU SO UNWILLING TO GIVE ME DATA MY CHARACTER SHOULD BE FULLY AWARE OF?

And as for that Common Sense comment...my common sense tells me that we shouldn't be fighting in giant robots.

Don't you dare go into that. Just don't. Seriously, now you're just being difficult, and I don't feel like giving you an infodump on the ramifications of the minovsky particle on universal century warfare.

I'm just saying...assuming common sense applies in a world where giant robots fight each other in space (among other things) is not a good idea. You can give me a Minovsky Particle lecture all you want, and you'd just be reinforcing my point.

From I understand the Minovsky Particle can induce a constant EMP effect on electrons, requiring bulky shielding to protect them from damage and allowing them to still operate. The cost/bulk of electronic shield is large enough to make guided missiles highly impractical, which means that unguided missiles, bullets and other forms of close-ranged weapons are the most practical alternatives. However the reason why giant robots are better than space fighters is mostly rule of cool, I believe.

*sigh* The point is, physics literally works differently in the gundam universe, that's an actual canon fact. Why am I even arguing with you, I'm already aware your suspension of disbelief is terrible. Just... just seriously this is a one battle long test game, don't take it so seriously.

Oh my God you fuck. GWG. You stupid stupid fuck.

Quote from: GWG, Auto
Move in close and get a better look at the cruiser. Check its armament and other capabilities. Judge how many craft it might load.

Mobile Strike Force, Element 1
Pilot Wilhelm von Strudle Booty centers his view on the Federation Cruiser and boosts the magnification. He scans its profile stern to bow, and instantly notes that the ship has no hangars of any kind. He can see two groups of Federation RB-79 Balls, small spherical craft armed with single-barrel 180mm cannon, anchored to the hull. By his count there are 3 in each cluster, more than enough to cause some trouble. From their position the Zakus can only see one half of the ship, so they have no idea if anything is anchored on the starboard side of the ship.

You misunderstand me.
If the laws of physics are different, why should our universe's common sense be applicable?

Oh my God you fuck. GWG. You stupid stupid fuck.
That's it, I'm done.

Well Zeon always has loved ridiculous names.

So... when fighting Zeon, the tactic is literally to shoot them in the balls?

Why have I not heard of this before?

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Mastahcheese, we're the ones with the Balls.

Exactly. We have to protect our balls or else we'll lose.
