Hard scifi spacecraft from the near or distant future.no such thing as magic gravity plating,faster than light engines or teleporters.
>>23675199>That's why I said we're getting into torchship territoryI 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.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>23675440You'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 equipmentYeah ok.
>>23675474Afraid 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 accelerationYeah ok.
>>23675474>supercomputer that can perform flight calculations more complex than the target itself while also carrying an entire ISS's worth of science equipmentsmartphones have more than enough computing power for that and you won't need cutting edge technology
>>23675607>I don't want to be rude butnta but you're extremely condescending in all your posts, it's exhausting to readyou can be informative without constantly belittling people. in fact, they're more likely to learn from you that way
How come Evangelion fans and Mecha fans can't ever find a middle ground of agreement? It's always either Evangelion revolutionized the genre, or Evangelion did nothing.
>>23676724>t. guy who never watched ideon, devilman, and ultraman

Why would mechs need to be piloted from the inside anyway? Wouldn't being fully remote be much more practical?
>>23670354Honor demands it. War is a human affair and it needs them in the front.Wars fought with kamikaze drones are nothing but mock-ups used to launder paper money.
>>23671446This.

Surprised you anons didn't talk about Alma-chan, it's basically rule 63 Astro Boy/Mighty Atom complete with rampaging robots with elements of Spy X
>>23670270>more of a slice of life comedy than mecha actionAll I needed to read.
Why does duel hate this anime?
>>23673660Idk maybe he's gay?
>>23670152it seems like the /m/ components are just set dressing for SoL/romance/comedy/moe
just gave it a lookpretty typical unfunny comedy slopdropped
i bought this one recently and having alot of fun playing it
>>23675390Sadly, it is one game that has not been ported or anything, so the controls are archaic at best.As much as I love my memories about it, nostalgia cannot help me play it with a modern controller.
>>23674878>IT'S NOT THE SAMEIts just as good, quit cryin you baby
Not sure if it counts but Metal Unit is a fun little side scroller with mechs and cute waifus.
>>23674878Play it with Supermodel (Sega Model 3 emulator), if you're so anal about it.
>>23641500Good choice

>>23677430You enter a raffle, put your name, address and something you want, and you get someone else's info. You then send them the thing they want and someone else gets you and they send you the thing you want. Alternatively it could be a mystery gift, so you get/write something under certain conditions like product, value, character, etc. Seriously anon, don't you have any friends or family? You haven't heard of this at work? It's pretty normal stuff
>>23677421/wip/ on /tg/ also does a secret santa every year, it's pretty fun.I wouldn't mind if /gpg/ did a secret santa, though most people on here are dropkicks so the chance of getting grinched would be pretty high.
>>23677472>Seriously anon, don't you have any friends or family? You haven't heard of this at work? It's pretty normal stuffWhere do you think we are?
>>23677477>though most people on here are dropkicks so the chance of getting grinched would be pretty high.Yeah, sorry but I don't trust most of you here. I'll do the /a/ secret santa, but this place? lolSome of you are probably alright, but the rest...
>>23677487>>23677477I have to agree, too many grifters and elitists. Giving your address to that kind of retards is just not good. Shit like this needs and admin that you can trust
Hoshino had some sweet tits and ass. I like Aila the most out of any Gundam girl, but Hoshino is a clear number 2.
>>23665160*15Would still hit on her
>>23671471Not 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.
>>23664975No one.
>>23664493Nobody asked, coombrain.
>>23672893How does any of that shit you are yapping about stop her from getting porn?
Are there any jobbers in mecha anime/manga/games worse than Iguazu or Jerid?
Jerid is one of the better Gundam rivals.He actually kills people the main character gives a fuck about.Zeta novels vindicated him to a certain degree also>>23672003>fucking clown suit BoundocHe was assigned to the Newtype Corps hence he got a newtype mobile suit
>>23674169The titans designed newtype use mobile suits wrong, as a joke.
>>23671467Sayaka.
>>23671467Cronicle 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
>>23676099I 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.
What's your Favorite Valkyrie?Mine is the VF-17.Other Macross related discussions are welcome.
>>23671694>>23671755The VF-19 is a better all around machine than the VF-17 that the standard military guys get in M7.
>>23671694>Sure, I can buy that his guitar is just a weird looking flight stick, the problem is that it ALSO plays music.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.
It was a hard AF choice but I'm gonna have to go with a classic and pick the VF-1J.Other options include the VF-2SS, VF-17D (and Super), VF-171 (and EX), VF-31C, and VF-XX/>Favorite IdolMakina Nakajima. I dunno why, she just seems like she'd be pleasant to be around. The fact that she's an easygoing mech otaku doesn't hurt either.I get why /m/en are picking Sheryl though.
Just finished watching all of Macross, here's my ranking.SDF>Zero>7>Plus>Frontier>DeltaI enjoyed them all but I still fucking hate love triangles no matter the series.
>>23674853>VF-XXHuh. Been a fan of the Zentran Valk for quite a while and never noticed that was its only given model 'number'.
This is the official UC Gundam watch order. Remember to skip ZZ.
>>23673043shit order
>>23672643ZZ is canon but Unicorn isn't
>>23670195And that's a good thing.
>>23673500Does anything in Unicorn actually have any kind of impact on stories that follow it?Opening Laplace's box ultimately didn't mean anything at all.
>>23675654im not saying that he was done dirty because he died but because that he died and literally no one acknowledges it or cares
How long before corporation based Kamen Riders are a thing? Feels very cyberpunkish to me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzZz10AUtdY
>>23676831huge kamen rider fan about to find out what a decent amount of kamen riders already have in their plots
>>23676835You also have Faiz, although there it's a single corporation manipulating everything.
>>23676831>moshi-moshi>Hai, Hongo desu!
>>23676835>>23676868Isn't Blade also like that, in which Kamen Rider is a job in can take?
>>23676879I mean, kind of? Only the Decade version gave focus to the whole "Riders as a job under a corporation" aspect though.In the actual tv series, Board is seemingly destroyed by the end of episode 1. It's really just more background to explain the sci-fi gears in the setting.
What do you think about Hyaku Shiki, is it overrated or fairly rated?
>>23676092>non-gundam suitthe Hyaku Shiki is a Gundam
I would suck mad dick for a kit of this.
>>23676092>my favorite non-gundammfw his second favorite is the rick dias
>>23676772is there anything in this goddamn anime that isn't a Gundam
>>23676708Who's the groom?
>sex>SEX!
>>23568616Pixiv does that to artists.
>>23664223Perfectly fine by me. I'll gladly take Roux then.
>>23665338I'm taking Roux too you faithless bastard
>>23568616Why are asian artists like this?Was it after they started revealing their fetish power level?
>>23665338>>23665341I'll be honest here, what's the appeal?
