but then you have monster like the hildolfr from ms igloo

Then take note of the EFGF's use of their modified and buffed up TOW missiles called the M101A3 Regina. There's an episode where an anti-ms platoon engages a squad of 3 zakus with it, with the platoon commander having 13 confirmed kills/giant robots slain. They've also been equipped in mobile suits, most notably the GM Spartan, though it could possibly be a different missile system but there hasnt been any mention of what missile, just that they are wire guided so its probably the same weapon system.

Wouldn't be interesting if it isn't there would it?

MS IGLOO 2: Gravity of the Battlefront.

@@aces6262 thank you friend 🖐️

Nah, tanks were nerfed in Gundams, in reality, they can easily shotdown those mechs before they even close. The tank Guns in reality are pretty accurate, 10x faster t and barely miss the target. It is 155mm rounds. Strong enough to penetrate those mechs.

@@fridaynight3181aye, it's honestly a touch upsetting how terrible that fire control is, especially on the first shots when they get the drop on 'em. Would've taken out most crews then and there.

Gundam

No, this is the episode2 of the OVA "MS IGLOO2“.

@@scarlet_squadronwow

Yes, it's MS Igloo 2: Gravity of the Battlefront

the ground zaku is literally just a cut and past make do mod of the normal DESIGEND FOR SPACE combat zaku. its no wonder it doesn't do so well.

The tankers actually won, but the clip cut the part where the last Zaku went down.

If u want to cripple it yes otherwise as the 8th tank did aim for the torso and u might fuck up the reactor

Wait till you see the guntank early type in gundam origin. The thing literally flops all over the place lmao

Its actually mag fed. Origin version is clearer but the OG Bazooka design is well there has to be something. Maybe its like a shotgun's internal mag?

Well, in Origin, the zaku have 3x 3 round rpg clips, with one already loaded.

You can thank Minvoski Particles for that. If it isn't in eyesight range, you're going to miss more often than not.

@@TheTrueAdept They are in eyesight though. Zakus are so tall. They could see them cresting from much farther away. And they present such a big target. Yet the type 61 cannon fire flies at the pace of a beach ball. Apparently tanks in Gundam universe use conveniently slow projectiles.

@@Rawsilver yeah, here's the thing, APFSDS isn't that fast. You can track the round with your eyes, surprisingly enough.

This is set in the far future so.

@@SlowpokeSpartan yea, I'm not familiar with the series, just saying it.

@@JS-hh9zs Not that far but still quite a bit, the One Year War took place in 0079 which is about 50 years from now. The Type-61 main battle tank itself is a decade old design that has been receiving upgrades over time.

@@aces6262 I think I heard from somewhere that UC starts from 2084 or something, not sure where

@@t26e44 nah, the calendar change took place around the late 90s and the the time of the war, is mostly around 2050 to 2060.

No. Beam weapons lose effect the farther it goes, and eventually fades.

And orbital bombing is banned in the antartica treaty alongside nukes and chemical warfare so live shells used in orbital bombarded will be a clear violation after what happened in operation British.

@@aaronluisdelacruz4212 not like that it'll stop the Zeon from dropping another colony or asteroid on earth

i've never seen it happen. have seen missiles and kamikazie used tho.

@@definitelynotcharaznable7749 And do the conventions even exist Post-Victory?

>APFSDS does not exist (Every shell fire in this clip explode like HEAT and HE) APFSDS exists, I cut the ending part where the Herman's Type-61 fires and execute the White Ogre at point blank range after shooting its back reactor (killing the Zaku's mobility) where it clearly shows the APFSDS shedding its sabot petals and finish it with another pair of sabot. >Gun launch ATGM doesn't exist. We do not know if gun-launched ATGM exist, no other media that shown this technology. >Gun stabilizer does not exist. Gun shake like an earthquake. Gun stabilizer exist, the first mock battle between Type-61s shows that it can hit moving targets while on the move. >Active protection system that intercept the projectile before hitting the tank doesn't exist. We do not know if APS exist, as with above, no other media that shown this technology.

@@aces6262 At the gun stabilizer, they're using Gen2/3 (i.e. those fitted onto the post WW2 tanks) stabilizers, not Gen3/4 (i.e. introduced by the M1 Abrams back in the '80s), please excuse me covering two generations because I'm going off from memory here. Gen 2/3 stabilizers are basically an evolution of the Sherman's single-axis stabilizer (a Gen1), which had _walking speed_ being faster than the max effective speed of the stabilizer. The next generation (Gen2) wasn't much better, as human running speed was faster than what these stabilizers can reliably cope with... APFSDS is comparatively rare due to events in the invasion of Earth, when Zeon dropped 'Minvosky Warheads' across the planet, literally sending entire swathes of it to _feudal/iron age_ times. Since APFSDS requires very precise (and thus vulnerable) machining compared to HEAT rounds... UC Gundam was around before the idea of active protection was even thought of in the general public, and combined with the fact that most APS systems require radars and what not (which basically became largely nonfunctional in the setting...)...

An ATGM wouldnt work, due to the Minovsky Particles emitted by Mobile Suits. Thats why Radars arent really a thing either, or mostly on Space Ships. And an Active Protection System, even in the future, would probably not withstand a 120mm Machine Cannon. We know that 40mm CIWS is a thing, as seen on the RX-78-2. And also, I imagine the makers didnt really think about that, since in the original Gundam, you see the M61A5s predecessor, the Type 61 being fully stabilized. I imagine that an APS was deemed pointless, due to Minovsky particles interfering with tracking, Beam Weapons which you cant intercept with an APS and the fact that mobile suits can use an armament sufficient to overwhelm an APS. And regarding the APFSDS thing: The Anime 86 shows explicitly that the M1A4 Juggernauts and later XM2 Reginleifs shoot APFSDS, yet the shells still explode on impact, a trade-off of realism for action

Cringe

They would be a Gundam fan

all of them were crap generals

ガンダム作品で触れてはならぬ所ですぜ。俺も思う。
