>That's why I said we're getting into torchship territory
I don't think you get the scope and I think you grossly overestimate ECM/decoy.
Missiles would also be torchship-fast, your trajectory would still be very predictable (see the link I gave about moment of inertia).

Let's take the arbitrary case about surviving 100 (sub-munition) with "10" being the maximum number you can actually hope to escape with evasion.
What if your "decoys" turn out to only bait 30? (or zero IMO)
What if the PD you'd need to destroy 40 is so heavy it ruins your mobility?
What if the PD can only destroy 20?
Plus, given the proportions you gave, Pareto say to maximize the efficiency of what protect the most.

I hope you do recognize that at some point maths can say "don't bother".

>I call bullshit on that.
There's no magical "All guidance and targeting systems can be fooled" magical realm either.

You're thinking in absolutes. Just because something isn't guaranteed to work 100% of the time doesn't mean it's not worth doing. Chaff doesn't fool missiles 100% of the time on fighter jets either but standard procedure is to spam chaff anyways. They're not doing it for the pretty lights, they do it because it bumps up your survival odds.

>magical all-aspect missiles with perfect anti-chaff systems and an integrated supercomputer that can perform flight calculations more complex than the target itself while also carrying an entire ISS's worth of science equipment
Yeah ok.

Afraid there's nothing absolute about it, it's bog-standard expectation when it comes to future technologies.
I don't want to be rude but you are just extrapolating from cold-war areal warfare when wild-weasel maneuvers were still a workable SEAD method.

Nowadays even small manpad missiles are built with the anti-flare method I tried to explain to you.
"The newest generation of the FIM-92 Stinger uses a dual IR and UV seeker head, which allows for a redundant tracking solution, effectively negating the effectiveness of modern decoy flares (according to the U.S. Department of Defense)."
And look at how you believe plotting a trajectory is hard, when it's easier than in the atmosphere because there's no aerodynamic components, it's all ballistic.

>magical all-aspect warship with integrated super-PD systems that can shoot down dozens of anti-warship missiles while dodging at 10G, dropping perfect decoys indistinguishable from a nuclear torchship at full acceleration
Yeah ok.

-=READ THE GUIDES=-

Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!

For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!

For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!

And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!

>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.

>>23671471
Not that anon you're replying to and it's been a few days, but what ever.

Metaverse is three episodes, basically an hour of total show time, and supposed to be a celebration of the build part of the franchise.
The basic set up of the show is a standard onee-shota show set in hawaii. She's the big sis who works at a gunpla store, and gets the protagonist into gunpla.
Instead of just staying in it's lane for three episodes and doing big sis teaching kid to love gunpla. They come up with a stupid trauma plot involving the big sis character's twin sister, keep in mind you had three episodes each 24 minutes, and the first of those has to indtroduce the show while also putting in cameos of past characters in the build part of the franchise. Really you have two episodes, less if you include wrap up, for this trauma plot for the big sis. Long story short, protagonist has to get big sis out of her funk, and set things right wth big sis and her twin sister. The plot went about as well as you would expect shoving that kind of plot in that limited a run time would.
Also you never see her sister in real life. No idea why that always bugged me.

They should have just spent the three episodes teaching the kid how to gunpla battle on a surfboard while playing a ukulele. It would have been a better show.

Cronicle really could've done with a win or two, as is it feels like Katejina only latched onto him because he was an easy guy to get with
>>
>>23676099
I mean he did win sometimes, like the when he stop Uso from taking out like half of Zanscares fleet in that one battle where Julia died, and technically he want the Motorad conflict as he was the main commander of that campaign. Cronicle is only a jobber because he got his suit jacked by a Kid in one episode, but for like nearly the rest of the series, he was not only a legit problem, he was also somehow one of the only reasonable people in Zanscare. Katejina ruined him with her BPD.

The stick only plays music when he gets the Sound Booster upgrade and then only if he disengages from the cockpit. Otherwise it's just a fancy joystick and the music is pre-recorded.
