| RIP Commander Latrova. Keeping it real and protecting all the way to the end. She'd lost so much and gave her all. Yuuya better mention her every 3 episodes. =_= Oh and guess what. Cryska and Inia took the core module. USSR>JapanxUS We're officially fucked. |
Raiwatanabe said: Some points of you i agree however there are also things i disagree with.Urgh... I'd really like to know what's wrong with Yuuya lately. He was such an enjoyable character in episodes 3 and 4, but then he starts just bending over backwards for a nation that not only lumps him in with all the "blue eyed devils", but thinks he has to be saved and converted back to the Japanese way. Come on! When are they going to figure this simple lesson out? Why Japanese ACM sucks The problem I've seen from the beginning, and I've mentioned this in my review, is that the Japanese ACM tactics that are described in this series are the same tactics that caused them to lose to the Americans hands-down in every aerial engagement since Midway. You don't bank, roll, and maneuver in the horizontal axis when your TSFs can be outperformed through vertical climbs and dive attacks (as the Wildcat and Hellcat drivers did in the Pacific). Also, when you have a bunch of bugs swarming you, you don't fight a traditional Napoleonic engagement. As great a read as Clausewitz is, when is Yui going to read up on her Mao, or Colonel Boyd? Since the Battle of Cannae, maneuver warfare has been the de-facto way to win a battle both from a tactical and strategic sense. Adding the unorthodox with standard operating procedure to further confuse the enemy is precisely why the BETA are winning so far in this series. The characters all say the BETA are unpredictable. Then why don't the humans start doing something unpredictable, themselves? Simple strategy for winning the entire war: 1) Equip the EM cannons to strategic bombers to sweep the infested areas of Europe and Asia from a safe altitude, cutting off certain hives from their neighbors and eliminating the Laser Class. 2) Send in higher thrust-weight ratio TSFs (Falcons and Eagles) in to sweep up the leftovers once the Laser Class have been destroyed, using the advantage of altitude and speed to jink out of the way. Operate under EMCON to ensure the BETA can't detect the incoming forces. 3) Send in a few Boomers off the Japanese coast to fire some Polaris missiles, and have the MIRVs target the colonies of BETA that haven't surfaced. 4) Develop a biological weapon (likely smallpox or some other deadly strain) the BETA's immune system aren't accustomed to, and release it globally to eradicate the BETA population. All I'm asking for Episode 15 is that Yuuya goes back to being a Viper driver. First of all people learn from past mistakes the same can be applied to countries the air combat manoeuvring your referring to is the one from WW2. Don't you think they learned from that and changed them already i mean your talking about 70 years ago. Secondly tho the Zero was a advanced and good machine at the start of the war by the end of the war it was outdated unlike the Americans, English, Germans and Russians the Japanese didn't do much to update there planes. With the result that the Zero had no change anymore against the planes the allied used which gained more firepower armour and speed during the war. It should also be mentioned that the tactics that the allied forces where using changed during the course of the war as well and became effective against the Japanese mid 1942 after the introduction of new tactics against them. Also i haven't seen to many of the tactics the Japanese are using yet i mean the only fights on Japanese soil we have seen so for is the one from the first two episode and the one from Yui's memory at the start of episode 13. Which in my opinion is the little to judge from. I also disagree with you on the tactics used i mean these bugs have been on the planet for more then thirty years don't you think in those thirty years someone came up unique ways of countering them. They would probably have used countless of tactics and strategy's against the even including ones never used before even things that are completely unpredictable. We had a discussion before on the forums as to why they BETA managed to get the entire Eurasia continent and many things where mentioned including nuclear warfare. Yet someone familiar with the Muvluv universe managed to counter them all. However chemical warfare,radiological warfare and biological warfare where not mentioned and i have been wondering about them. No mater how resilient the BETA are at least some of these forms of warfare should work on them. Tho it also raises the question of how are you going to get those weapons into BETA territory and far enough to have good effects against them. Those Polaris missiles you mentioned are outdated now a days they use Trident missiles and judging from what i was told last time it seems those laser class BETA are able to intercept them. Again including the last discussion topic we had about the subject of why the Eurasia continent was invaded there where several people that came up with some interesting ideas to counter the BETA. And that's on a forum topic seem by a few hundred maybe a few thousand people. This war involved millions of people so they should have had some with even better ideas to counter them. |
| RIP Commander Latrova!!! JeffreyZin said: vagsk said: R.I.P. Commander Latrova I hope it wasn't the Scarlet twins who delivered the final blow to Commander Latrova. How did exactly she died? I mean what the hell just happened?! They just skipped the scene like that & never know what happened to her! WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?! THIS IS JUST CONFUSING AS HELL! She got taken out by a Terminator class TSF..., most likely the scarlet twins which is kinda disturbing. "The Eishi are the edge of humanity's blade" Another great episode, this anime is reminding me why i love mecha anime so much!!! Episode Naxcore: 5/5 |
| Wow sad the Zhar squad was killed by unknown badass but it's said they used the Zhar squad as propaganda tools they were heroes in their own right but they used their deaths to boost the morale of the people by calling them heroes. |
| The Russians took out Zhar Battalion....its those commanders that need to die now. |
