>What is Ma.K?
Originally called SF3D, Maschinen Krieger came into existence in the 1980's, with Kow Yokoyama credited as being it's primary creator. SF3D was more or less a collective effort with Hobby Japan and kitbashers, who made mechanical monstosoties from various model ranges and custom sculpts. Everything from Macross, Dorvack, Gundam, Star Wars, and Tamiya military models were mashed together and gave birth to one of a kind mechs. Models of these kitbashes and sculpt were made and sold, with a story revolving around this world coming out after the fact. It's a niche range of militant mechs that has slowly gained attention over time. If you like Gundam and have a secret love affair with military vehicles give Ma.K a try!

Fake peace cant be uprooted by a "true war", which can never bring true peace. True war isnt knights dueling each other honorably with their ideals at stake, true war is like gassing colonies and dropping them onto earth, senseless killing by people kept in the dark about the real goals of the nation and its leaders on whose behalf they murder, firing bullets into other soldiers and civilians they never met whose ideals they dont know and never will, with no idea of what it means to kill. Autonomous weapons and mindless drones are the ultimate form of the soldier and what an army really desires from the people they enlist, its not the bastardization of modern warfare but its absolute zenith and only delusional romantics fool themselves into thinking otherwise.

Gamplay wise kt takes base AC mechanics and goes balls to the wall with them, which means a lot of fun to be had. Actually useful guns, multiple SP hardpoints with ammo counts actually above 20, no high-G but AOA limiter is its own brand of fun bullshit, conquest mode is kino, it's just fun. The writing and voice acting is *very* amateur, but bearable, almost enjoyable in a very cheesy way.

Also, some might call this heresy, but I unironically like the ost more than most AC games. Almost every mission theme stuck out to me where AC will have one really good song and then multiple missions of forgettable background noise

I think they don’t do it because that’s Mirrorman’s/Mirror Knight’s color scheme.

What happens if the infantry fail to cover their ears while MS scale solid weaponry are being fired nearby? Permanent hearing loss, or something worse like the pressure fucking them up in some other way.
Its a cool concept, and it makes me think that the universe either evolves so that infantry all get ear protection, or they're just so unimportant in the grand scheme of things that its ok if survivors are permanently debilitated after they serve their purpose.
I guess its also an issue in settings like battletech where ultra large scale autocannons are the gold standard.

>>23673519
Nobody in 0079 has earpro that's for sure, but that's also because UC is a setting designed in the 70's when hearing damage for soldiers was a given as opposed to an avoidable issue like it is now.

Plus if we're specifically talking Gundam, half the time they'll be in Normal Suits anyways.
>>
>>23673519
Earpro makes sense. They constantly revise mobile suits to account for modern day sensibilities (gto comes to mind), presumably, so does infantry kiy.

>>23673648
Normal suits are usually a space only thing with the exception of pilots who presumably wear it for protection. Regular ground troops still wear normal uniforms and helmets. But I bet that doesnt protect you from gm ground type and zaku machine gun shells.
It must suck to be infantry, specially when suits have anti infantry gear like flechette launchers.

>The porn parody I was referring to was Angel Blade rather than Jyubei's stuff that can get away with referring to Mizuki as Mizuki due to Doujinshi rules.
Yeah, that's what I was referring to; we might have got it mixed up.

> Kotobuki Tsukasa, Kimura Takahiro, and Masami Oobari did a lot of character design for a significant amount of ecchi mecha stuff.
I've watched a few of Tsukasa's works, but I'm a huge advocate of Obari and Kimura and can say even their most tame works can be borderline ecchi. And speaking of Kimura, I wish he hadn't left us before we got an anime adaptation of Shin Mazinger Zero.

If you simply want to stick to the same cosmetic, there is a tier 01-04 system.
You choose your character which could be a scavenger, merchant, mercenary.. which means you level that same weapon either through pulling it from corpses, visiting the black market and getting lucky, or upgrading it yourself as a gearhead.

I want to rant about how badly I bounced off front mission 3. I tried 3, because I usually like PS1 games. I hate 3. It's a pretty slow, basic, and clunky console tactics game, but the main character I want to see pulled apart by wild horses. He's always screaming "I don't care about that! I just want to save my sister!" no matter the scenario. He gets held at gunpoint by like 7 military mechs in the opening of the second scenario, and he's still ranting about his sister and how everyone should just get out of his way. He then gets held in detention and refuses to name his very important father because "I got nothing to do with that guy, and where's my sister?".
I hate listening to this guy so fucking much. He screams at anyone. People holding him at gunpoint. The police. Mystery women. The captain of the ship he's traveling on. His best friend. He just never fucking stops going "yeah, but where's my sister!!!". He could see aliens descend upon earth and tell him they want to share the secrets of the universe with him and he'd go "HUH? what's that got to do with saving my siiiiiiister!!!!".
The more I interact with this series the more I'm surprised why it's such a sleeper, anyway. It's extremely basic tactics with lots of random to hit chance and not really any tactics aside from "get everyone to shoot the same guy". I'm genuinely coming off thinking Evolve and Left alive were almost healthy directions for the series. The mechs are very cool though.

The japs have been discussing american mecha fans lately on X. What do you think about western fans of mecha?
Their odd obsession with "realism", demanding mechs should only play a small role (combined arms), not liking melee. Where does it come from? Where is it going? Can someone ever post a fantasy vehicle on an english forum ever again without some turdbrain going "ehehehe, a singular drone could simply effortlessly bomb that up to kingdom come..."?

>That's because the western definition is stupid, ignores many existing mecha franchises
This may be true
>and partly exists just to to claim american stuff is inherently different from japanese stuff
But this don't. 95% of people who use mecha in the Western sense don't have any hostility towards Japan or Japanese media. The subgenre of "robot being piloted" is definitely real and has both specific tropes, situations and even more subgenres. It's normal to want to differentiate that. To say that all media featuring robots cannot be classified further is equally dismissive.
