You know, setting aside the fact it got its specs stolen. Which just raises the question of why Zeon didn't try using it, honestly.
If we're being realistic these things would be way more effective as a platform than mobile suits, but unfortunately they don't look as cool. They also would have to rely on air support a lot
@@cabnbeeschurgr That wouldn't be a problem, especially at the Battle of Odessa. More recent depictions keep adding mobile suits to the federation side, but the battle was still primarily fought and won by conventional tanks, artillery and good ol' total, unchallenged air supremacy. Turns out that even if you have 1300 mobile suits against less than 40, you can't do much if they enemy has fixed you into being unable to use any kind of mobile, offensive doctrine.
A prototype was made for the previous game, Hildruf, but it would be unrealistic to transport it from Side 3 on the other side of the moon or the lunar city of Granada. For the same cost it would be better to transport Zaku or other land combat weapons, arms, ammunition, and replacement personnel.
Let's just say the specs were not stolen but intentionally leaked so they could implant spies when the EFF deemed the unit uneconomical for mass production.
Maybe if Zeon had gotten the plans around the battle of Loum, we would've, but Zeon's opportunity to operate terrestrial suits was limited. They probably didn't have enough time to develop and manufacture anything in time for any meaningful ground battles
They only had 4 of these and lost three of them in this mission. It was initially a failed prototype before they figured out how to give it some power under the hood which you see the results of here. The other guntanks were considered too situational for widespread production.
To be fair, these were being driven by pilots who had experience and bat shit crazy on their side and pushed the machine to its limits The gundam was dealing death with a complete amateur a kid no less at the helm and still had strength to spare, and only got more deadly as he improved. But I'll take Experience and Batshit crazy over literal plot armor any day
As I get older, my appreciation for all the other mobile suits increase, and I absolutely *LOVE* these chunky boys. Also, some really good design elements, like the tracks on the front for faster speeds and keeping them low to the ground so that they don’t flip over, the disengaged weapons ports once they’ve been emptied, and the combination of heavy artillery combined with anti-personnel weaponry. Good stuff.
Something i never knew of was how the AGT had different equipment on the right "leg" I'm used to GBO2 which has it as another missile pod like on the left instead of the mines/artillery missiles combo in the OVA
GBO2 has the bad custom of nerfing Mobile Suits for the sake of making higher rarity ones better. The Zudah for example was stripped from it's shield deployable knives wich should be a Melee weapon
@@Fulcrox The Zudah has Enhanced Tackle and Shield Tackle skills to represent it. This is common throughout most Mobile Suits that have melee weapon shields, like the Marine Gelgoogs with the spiked knuckle-shield
Holy shit. That's one of the best mechtanks I've ever seen, and it's so versatile! That's especially shocking considering the guntank keeps getting decked when I see it.
Because these things are only really good at combat on (relatively) level open ground with clear lines of sight. They'd be absolutely garbage in urban combat or forested areas, and Mobile Suits can still handle those types of terrain. I love the Guntank, but it's very much a specialized tool.
@@TheIntratec9 They'd still be useful in urban warfare and lightly forested areas. The RTX-440 is utterly useless in those types of terrain for anything other than deforestation and demolition respectively.
Military Intelligence. If the Federation developed the Guntanks further, Zeon would've caught wind of this and just do the same if not better. The war would've dragged on much longer too and resources will definitely be scarce. Mobile Suits are the game changer, no matter how they're presented in most media. Plus these RTX-440s are supposed to be mass produced instead of the RX-75 until a fiasco regarding its intel occured, all this to cover up the existence of Project V until the Gundam first launched.
@@solaireofastora5999 like 90% of the terrain in Europe? let's say it in a reverse way...Zeon MS wouldn't do much if the area is not urban or forest like close combat.
@@itsuk1_1well, yeah that's true. Upon invading Earth, Zeon ground forces were slowed down by logistics issues and the fact that the Zaku II C and F types move too slow due to their heavy weight, leading to the creation of the Type J where it is extremely light with weaker boost capacity and lesser thrusters in exchange for a lighter frame that allows it to move around. Unlike Guntanks, MS like the Zaku can serve a multi use, a jack of all trades, which was what the Zaku was designed for. Because it's not stuck with a gun, you give it a machine gun and it's a fast recon unit or a vanguard unit. Give it a 280mm bazooka and it's a bunker buster to deal with heavy armoured foes like Big Trays or fortified. Give it a 175mm Magella Cannon and it's an Anti Air and Long range unit. My point is that specialized units like the the RTX-440 Assault Guntank can't do anything if the environment doesn't suit them. Just like Zeon MS where bringing a Z-GokE into a Desert isn't going to do anything. It's why Zeon had to create units like Gouf where it can specialize in Urban and forest without the limitations of the Zaku II J. The same applies to the assault Guntank, if the area isn't an open field and has multiple terrain, the Assault Guntank can work but it will only serve as an Artillery Platform which defeats the purpose of the unit being a hit and run unit when said role is done by the RX-75 MP Guntank
Flamethrowers against military targets is not a war crime. Flamethrowers against civilian targets is. "Flamethrowers are a war crime" is a common myth started by the fact that militaries stopped using them much post-WW2 when it was realized that their range was a problem and carrying a large fuel tank made them a target. Today, a lot of militaries have replaced them with Incendiary rockets like the Russian RPO and for a while the US had the M202 FLASH, which are safer for the person carrying, safer for the people around them, disposable, and most of all, have much longer ranges.
@@Fulcrox buddy you should read some articles like first of all i study history and the military second of all my dad is actually a historian plus a person who knows the military and the conventions (war crimes) and he told me yes it is a war crime to kill someone with a flame thrower third of all read some articles like "At a quick glance, the rules as outlined by the Geneva Conventions on which weapons are allowed (and disallowed) to be used in combat make little sense.

Thank you for understanding
@@TheBigExclusiveIronicly, the OYW plays it straight. The main reason the Zeon earth offensives stalled was the Federation maintaining air supremacy. Feddie aircraft were leaps and bounds above the Dopp and Magellan Top. The Gaw carrier admittedly had them beat for a long range mobile carrier, but the Pegasus class would easily out perform it.
Not really, EFAF had upper hand through the whole War. Before these monsters were deployed, we got to see Fed fighters tore through Zeke air units like they are made of paper. Zeon air force was so beaten that we saw Federation transports regularly penetrate deep into Zeon occupied territories to supply units trapped there like White Base
Why are the lowest frequencies cut off or not in the mix? Vehicles this big, that are making the ground tremble are going to put out some sub-bass. Also, I can hear artifacts in the high frequencies that sound like the mix was at 128kbps at one point... or maybe some sound effects came from low resolution sources?
Why give them arms when you aren't going to give them hands? Wouldn't side turrets be more efficient than arms? Aside from the cool appearance, a traditional tank design would probably be more efficient and allows for more armor stacking than an upper torso on treads.
just getting into gundam and was wonder what series / season these were from? Edit: Found the series in question Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2: The Gravity Front.
2:43 Dom pilot: Ha! Got you now! 2:44 *Guntank raises gatling hand directly at Dom* 2:45 Dom pilot: *REALLY BRUH* 2:47 Ground type Guntank pilot: *NOPE* And at 2:47, that was a smart move
Hate to play devil's advocate, since this is one of the best guntank designs. But this thing would have ripped itself apart in 5 sec trying to pull off these maneuvers. Tanks don't drift easily on rough terrain, such as we see here. The Dom's would have easily devastated the whole unit, the Gouf might have struggled but still won in the end. These thigs are basically shown with full plot armor on, and don't give me the "but they died in the end" speal, they never would have made it to the battlefield unsupported as they were. It looks cool but this is still a rear line / support mech not a MBT model. Sorry it had to be said.
@@char1137 It's intended to be semi-realistic. Mecha anime always does stuff like this, but the suspension of disbelief helps us go "Ooh, cool" rather than "That's impossible with something that size.". My statement is meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but reviewed in context with the world they are trying to represent. The Gundam world state allows mobile suits like the Dom to hover despite their size and weight, Zaku's to run without tipping over, etc. That is to be expected, drifting a 300+ ton tank at 180+ KPH, well that's a line that I have issues with. That this thing can outmaneuver a Dom is just BS, we all know how fast a Dom can move in comparison to a regular MS.
I still believe in my head cannon that this is derivative of the Hildofr. Or we take their respective production worthiness, at least RTX had an accelerated development from the Hildofr. Hildofr was abandoned in the early months of the One Year War while North America was still under control by Zeon. Whereas RTX-440 is deployed in Odessa later in the One Year War during the Zeon retreat. Head cannon pun was not intended, but a welcome laugh.
Guntanks don't get enough credit. Imo they are more practical and realistic than mobile suits. We could very well build something like this today if we wanted to.
That would be great if the Big Tray-class and Dabde-class land combat ships that appear in the story were put to practical use. They are things that cannot even be transported by existing ships or railways.
Why those cool guntanks are not mass produced? Just imagine how they gonna fight aquatic ms or flying ms? Use cannon? They're fast but not too fast for those ms , the real reason why its look so op beacause it had 2 pilot at once and piloted by a special pilot They're not difference from brown southern cross , its a special custom with advanced pilot, its up to pilot mostly but gotta agree that guntanks a great
The Land Combat Assault Guntank is a descendant of the lost Guntank, an unfortunate machine that was never officially adopted due to a confidentiality leak. It actually appears in the 0083 comics.
Data plans got leaked by spies so if they go through with using it, you're risking something that's possibly tampered by the enemy and even if they're not, your enemy already knows what they are and can create counters to it
Think this is one of the reasons i never got into gundam or anime mechs....they simply dont move like lumbering heavy machinery but more snappy like natural body movement.

Not really, EFAF had upper hand through the whole War.
Before these monsters were deployed, we got to see Fed fighters tore through Zeke air units like they are made of paper.
Zeon air force was so beaten that we saw Federation transports regularly penetrate deep into Zeon occupied territories to supply units trapped there like White Base
Guide missiles become useless, 30mm machine cannot penetrate MS Ammo
@@40letranhuutin68 no amount of armor is stopping a bunker buster bomb. A high yield bomb will at least mission kill these things
Every time I see this clip I can’t help but laugh out loud at the animation
Everything else but the humans look pretty good wym?
Why are the lowest frequencies cut off or not in the mix? Vehicles this big, that are making the ground tremble are going to put out some sub-bass. Also, I can hear artifacts in the high frequencies that sound like the mix was at 128kbps at one point... or maybe some sound effects came from low resolution sources?
Is that ERA that doubles as a mine?!
Finally watching some Feddie suits kicking ass. RIP all my GM homies.
Very cool design MC.
These "tanks" are legit Chinese fireworks shop on wheels. If any of those tanks took a hit they would explode.
Finally a non-mobile suit getting some love
Man this is just the RTX-440 version, I can’t wait to see what the RTX-4090 can do.
Such a amazing machine with amazing performance😭Should’ve made more of them
In reality, it is a test model for sending spies into enemy camps.
The greatest achievement of IGLOO was to actually make a Guntank look cool.
❤Assault Guntank my beloved ❤
Can we see the rtx 4090 guntank?
Wonder if that was super napalm

Always a treat to watch feddie grunts style on some zeeks. Subverts expectations better than Star Wars
Why give them arms when you aren't going to give them hands? Wouldn't side turrets be more efficient than arms? Aside from the cool appearance, a traditional tank design would probably be more efficient and allows for more armor stacking than an upper torso on treads.
It combines the tracks of a tank with the plot armor of a mobile suit.
Its a nice change of pace seeing the federation forces do well.
I don’t think the War was won by just Amuro.
What weapon systems do you want on this thing?
YES
What do you mean 'yes'?
YES I WANT WEAPON SYSTEMS
Whi-
ALL OF THEM
just getting into gundam and was wonder what series / season these were from?
Edit:
Found the series in question
Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2: The Gravity Front.
Man this is my favorite gundam in GBO2. Reversing and shooting the enemy while they tried to chase me are hillarious
That feel when Clan Hell’s Horses fields an Assault Lance
Guntank with flamethrower variant.
2:43 Dom pilot: Ha! Got you now!
2:44
*Guntank raises gatling hand directly at Dom*
2:45 Dom pilot: *REALLY BRUH*
2:47
Ground type Guntank pilot: *NOPE*
And at 2:47, that was a smart move
guntanks kicking asses was quite cool
See? They performed miraculously better in open ground. Putting them in a town or densely populated city is a no brainer
Way better than my RTX 3050.
I love how Zeon mobile suits and tanks are based on Russian spacecraft
Hate to play devil's advocate, since this is one of the best guntank designs. But this thing would have ripped itself apart in 5 sec trying to pull off these maneuvers. Tanks don't drift easily on rough terrain, such as we see here. The Dom's would have easily devastated the whole unit, the Gouf might have struggled but still won in the end. These thigs are basically shown with full plot armor on, and don't give me the "but they died in the end" speal, they never would have made it to the battlefield unsupported as they were. It looks cool but this is still a rear line / support mech not a MBT model. Sorry it had to be said.
I wasnt aware that a mecha franchise wasnt realistic
@@char1137 It's intended to be semi-realistic. Mecha anime always does stuff like this, but the suspension of disbelief helps us go "Ooh, cool" rather than "That's impossible with something that size.". My statement is meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but reviewed in context with the world they are trying to represent. The Gundam world state allows mobile suits like the Dom to hover despite their size and weight, Zaku's to run without tipping over, etc. That is to be expected, drifting a 300+ ton tank at 180+ KPH, well that's a line that I have issues with. That this thing can outmaneuver a Dom is just BS, we all know how fast a Dom can move in comparison to a regular MS.
I still believe in my head cannon that this is derivative of the Hildofr. Or we take their respective production worthiness, at least RTX had an accelerated development from the Hildofr. Hildofr was abandoned in the early months of the One Year War while North America was still under control by Zeon. Whereas RTX-440 is deployed in Odessa later in the One Year War during the Zeon retreat.
Head cannon pun was not intended, but a welcome laugh.
These are way practical than other walking mech.
ガンタンク、早いし、強い！。ドムがやられるなんて…。もし、このガンタンクがホワイトベースに配属されてれば…
宇宙に陸戦兵器はいらんやろ
Guntanks don't get enough credit. Imo they are more practical and realistic than mobile suits. We could very well build something like this today if we wanted to.
That would be great if the Big Tray-class and Dabde-class land combat ships that appear in the story were put to practical use. They are things that cannot even be transported by existing ships or railways.
Why those cool guntanks are not mass produced? Just imagine how they gonna fight aquatic ms or flying ms? Use cannon? They're fast but not too fast for those ms , the real reason why its look so op beacause it had 2 pilot at once and piloted by a special pilot
They're not difference from brown southern cross , its a special custom with advanced pilot, its up to pilot mostly but gotta agree that guntanks a great
The Land Combat Assault Guntank is a descendant of the lost Guntank, an unfortunate machine that was never officially adopted due to a confidentiality leak. It actually appears in the 0083 comics.
Data plans got leaked by spies so if they go through with using it, you're risking something that's possibly tampered by the enemy and even if they're not, your enemy already knows what they are and can create counters to it
Think this is one of the reasons i never got into gundam or anime mechs....they simply dont move like lumbering heavy machinery but more snappy like natural body movement.
2:46 napalm finisher
That was amazing idk if you made it or it's from en anime but if you made it then please please keep up the amazing work
