It's too bad we don't see mixed arms in action even though in the lore the federation used mixed arms heavily to make up for their fewer MS. Like Odessa was nearly all conventional vehicles and landships, and even space battles were a big mix of GMs, balls, and ships but we only see a glimpse of it in the show

The basic GM was in full scale production for the last few months of the war, and served as the main fighting unit for the Federation's push back into space. There aren't exact figures for any GM production except for certain batches, but most sources seem to mention 288 or 330 GMs as a minimum for the first couple of production batches of the plain old GM A and B types from Jaburo, so it really wouldn't be a stretch to have maybe 500+ GMs counting all variations since even non-mainline models like the Ground GM from 08th MS Team had a run of around 50 units, and there are other sites like Augusta and Luna II developing the GM D\Command types and the GM Kai type respectively which saw a decent number of units.

The original GM has been inconsistently portrayed as anything between bluish-silver to robin-egg blue (see the comparison between the MG 1.0 and MG 2.0 on Dalong for an example). The later models start leaning towards being white.

I wish modern Gundam would learn that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication when it comes to modern mechanical designs. That's why the GM and Zaku are so beloved.

>The GM is getting Sherman'd and i won't stand for it.
Which is funny because the prevailing thought of Shermans being garbage bins on tracks happened for decades after World War 2 before the record was set straight by people who bothered to review and analyze army reports, rather than taking anecdotes as gospel, where it showed that the Sherman was an effective tank for most of its lifespan and through its many marks, even if it was far from a perfect design, while the opposite happened for the GM, where it was initially considered an effective and formidable counterpart to Zeon's mobile suits, but subsequent media chose to play it off as a hunk of junk that could barely compete with a Zaku II.
>>
>>22523175
It is wild how much the perception of the Sherman was formed by people reading a book that essentially just said 'as the man in charge of hosing out recovered Shermans, I saw a lot of busted up Shermans', and not thinking even a second longer about why he might have that impression.
>>

The zeekwank is getting stronger and stronger with japs. At some point I wouldn't be surprised if they make a side story about how Zeon self-sabotaged out of guilt or something could have easily won the war and everyone secretly hated Gihren the entire time. Code Fairy was already trying to get people to sympathize for the cast by painting the zeek girls and their commander as being aware of the zabis' evil but they simply had no choice but to gun down hundreds of GMs over the course of the game.

The problem is that feddiefags can't comprehend a nameless NPC in a GM jobbing to a decorated Zeon ace pilot with a name and plot armor has been done before countless times even before gundam. Of course Doan was gonna one-man mog a whole squad of nameless GMs because he's an experienced mobile suit pilot. And to be fair: The GMs were actually WINNING on the Morocco front before the brown quad stars rolled in because we gotta hype them up before Amuro and Doan slaughter them.

TL;DR: The GM is still an effective mobile suit. It's just that A: Most feddies are lazy fucks who need gundam's aimbot to show them how to beam spray gun properly and B: They exist to job to the zeon MOTW to hype it up before Amuro mercs it, because the gundam is the one people want to see kick zeon's ass.

You're just making shit up with absolutly no basis now, that even outright goes against you saying they are losing entirely because they are generic grunts going up against plot armoured named fighters and thats good writing habits.

It's been established that the GM used Amuro's combat data from Gundam to help pilots perform better. Not my fault most depictions of feddies show them as self-important neckbeards that sit around all day eating candy bars and squatting in civilian homes instead of actually doing their jobs.

>that even outright goes against you saying
Wrong. It enforces it by giving a secondary in-universe reason to why GM casualties are so high. Not that it all matters in the long run because as stated: Feddies won the war. GMs don't gotta prove shit.

There should be spinoffs where the Feddy protagonist team are only piloting variants of the 'standard' units; ie- GMs, Guncannons, Guntanks (maybe some non-MS supporting units in there alongside the team for the barest hint of combined-arms).

The White Dingos didn't need an original fanfic gundam to be cool in their sidestory.

There should be more stuff of a GM duel-wielding sprayguns like pistols and going all John Woo

Like a good loadout would be going into battle with a pair of bazookas in the hands for the initial longer-range engagement with a pair of beam sprayguns mounted on thigh-hardpoints in reserve, then after the bazookas run dry naturally switching to the sprayguns.

Grunt mobile suits tend to be really underarmed with just a single hand-carried ranged weapon and then a melee backup, with maybe vulcans or a couple of rockets in their shield on top of that if they're lucky.

There's also a pretty solid historical parallel with the SS there, to be fair. The SS, as an organisation of the Nazi party rather than part of the German military establishment, had to source a lot of their own equipment as they became more of a fighting force in their own right.
As almost all German production capacity was flat-out for the German armed forces, they ended up using a whole bunch of eclectic equipment produced in occupied countries.
Given their status outside the normal EFF command chain and their penchant for sourcing their own hardware, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable that for their gap-filler grunt suit they'd be fine with reusing as much tooling as possible from existing factories to expedite production and use up existing slack capacity.
Particularly if you factor in 0083 and the regular EFSF having to re-rearm probably booking out AE's regular, GM-adjacent capacity for a couple years straight.

All of that being said, I would still prefer them at least visibly having more GMs and descendants in their on-screen arsenal and the decision I just spent a paragraph rationalising was mainly done to give them bad guy coded suits.

How do you feel about the two color schemes from Unicorn? Dakar defense forces had a very light shade of green-white?, while Torrington forces had the 0083 tan colors also used for captured Zeon MS and GM Kai land version.
>>
>>22537044
The unicorn version looks like ass in comparison. Would be better if it was pure white.
Also the Nemos weren't allowed to be very impressive either, like most of the Federation suits at the base.
Basically all existed simply to be static for the old zeon machines to shoot/slash until the Titans suit came in and solo SLAMJAMMED everyone.

That's the problem though, they went full Zeon, instead of Federation designs with some Zeon design influences. It should have light green GMs vs. dark blue GMs at the beginning, but as the series progressed, that's when we start seeing the Zeonish designs start popping up, in the same way that the Titans uniforms got progressively more Zeonic as the series went on, if wasn't already beaten into the audience's head by that point that the Titans had no sense of irony in becoming just like Zeon.

Jamitov is a contolist who wants to collapse the federation. It comes up briefly in the show. They're zeeks in everything but name. Even their purpose is serving the goals of radical spacenoids

Jamitov may have had leanings to that, but Bask obviously wasn't in on the plan if that were the case.
>Even their purpose is serving the goals of radical spacenoids
By killing the shit out of remnants, by having a huge fuckoff laser cannon being used as a budget Death Star to cow the colonies into submission? The show did a really poor job of showing Jamitov's ultimate plans were, but he failed considering what took him and the Titans down was basically a group of EF rebels that still wanted to preserve the Federation.

>>
>>22547337
That's not true, it was the GM frame modified from the ground up for underwater environments much like the early Zaku underwater-combat models.

The Federation just didn't engage in the retardation of designing and building a hundred different MS for underwater combat despite that being such a limited portion of the war.

Question, why people like Zeon mechs when they look fat as shit? For me, Zeon design started catching up with Feds design when they started slimming down, like Bawoo, Gerbera Tetra, and Geara Zulu.
>>
>>22550676
Geara Zulu looks like trash, its literally a robot cosplaying as a nazi soldier which looks lame. Also the 'Sleeves' they take their faction name from are stupid.

I hope this won't sound rude but it is probably your personal taste. Zeon suits' appeal comes in part from their unusual shapes, bulkiness, and often more alien or unusual appearances. The Geara Zulu in this sense is about one of the poorest quality Zeon suits, just as >>22550695 mentions it really throws away the design qualities of actual Zeon MS in favor of just being a cosplaying soldier. This is coming from an unironic Fedfag, the Geara Doga outclasses the Zulu in the looks department so far as actually looking like an obviously "Zeon" Mobile Suit. A Dom, for all its bulk, is still only about on par with a GM in technological terms. It's an interesting way to think about the levels of technology, design philosophies, and engineering solutions each side took to make the respective machines alongside the obvious faction identification. Jim is my favorite Mobile Suit of them all, but I think nearly all of them have their merits.

Part of what makes Gundam interesting is this aspect of design language. You can almost immediately tell just by looking at a Mobile Suit whether it's Federation or Zeon designed just based on how it looks a lot of the time. Even in MS where the design starts to converge like the Javelin and Zoloat here there are notable differences between the two and how Zanscare MS tend to be designed which distinguish them from the more workmanlike and straightforward Federation machines.

Someone having a higher total kill count than Amuro in the Federation isn't impossible, but they way they did it with this guy didn't feel legit.

That's not what I'm saying though.
Other people can make an impact on the setting, but the writing of this guy doesn't feel legitimately done, he's just a paper-thin throwaway so that someone with a higher killcount exists but he doesn't feel like he's an actual character or seriously written beyond that shallow function.

Yes, it is on par with the Gundam maybe a little less spec’d. Sniper II is definitely a 1:1.

I always thought of it as:

Rx-78-2 = Sniper II > Sniper C > Rx-78-1 > Standard GMs

I’m sure the other variants like Night seeker, Interceptor, guard custom, are among that, if not spec’d better for a specific mission
>>
>>22581423
I never understood if the sniper ii is supposed to be on par with the original RX 78-2 or the G3
>>
>>22581430
Technically the GM Sniper II already has some higher specs than both the RX-78-2 and the RX-78-3, barring luna titanium armor. But Amuro can make better use of the Gundam's maximum performance in terms of mobility and killing efficiency due to pilot skill and newtype senses. A more common pilot can't quite pull that off so they need a GM with higher thrust specs and more maneuvering thrusters to reach similar sort of battle performance as the Gundam.
