Speaking of JP Battletech, I'm curious. Did the first editions also get published there? If so, how did they get around the Unseen's designs? I mean, I don't think Tatsunoko would like to see, say, a straight up VF-1S on this brand new foreign tabletop game brand, for example.

It was launched from the get go with the designs made by Studio Nue, the closest you'll get to the unseen designs is from the JP version of Mechwarrior 1 that was spruced up and released on PC-98 and the X68K. These designs went on to be used as the original batch of IIC mechs though the Battlemaster design became the Griffin IIC for whatever reasons.

Heat and safety issues, mostly. Putting myomers in long, thin limbs lets them vent the incredible amounts of heat they produce more easily than cramming them into a box where they would also take up room from the crew of a tank and potentially threaten said crew with even more frequent TPK results on a hit because the myomers are all live wires with body-frying amounts of current going through them.

The real mystery is why there are no underwater units or underwater motive systems that rely on copying snake, fish, or whale locomotion. GURPS Vehicles and Robots lead me to understand that they would work amazingly for that, on par with a powerful screw propeller but potentially much quieter, especially if you have armor with dimpled surface patterns.

Need us to remind you that you are the same retard who put a Japanese quote about "Demonbane universes" in your blog from a Japanese vs wiki and not from any official sources like Visual Novels, Light Novels, databooks, or even from WoGs?

>>Outside of the universe is a universe of such universes, and outside that universe is another universe of such universes, and outside of that universe is another universe of such universes, and this goes on forever, with all universes connected. These universes include all parallel universes, of which there are as many as there are possibilities. All of these are the dream of Azathoth. (宇宙の外に宇宙が広がりその宇宙の外にも宇宙が広がりその宇宙の外にも…と宇宙が無限に連なり、また可能性の分岐が無限の平行宇宙を生み出す(「軍神強襲」より)という世界観の全てはアザトースが見ている夢)

Guess where the quote came from: https://w.atwiki.jp/tekiyakusaikyou/pages/749.html

And did you forget that you got called out for claiming Demonbane Doomsday is made by Deus Machina scraps and monster corpses when the book said it was 邪神眷属, not 怪物?

Atp, you're making a fool out of yourself, just cope and seethe already lil bro.

Rhodie's been around for a while, since Iron Man 118. He was actually the guy in the suit during Secret Wars and had a stint as the actual Iron Man in issue 169. He became War Machine in 291 and is pretty much a fixture of the Iron Man mythos ever since.

Genuinely great news. I was worried that DL would be too niche with trying to mix up mecha musume with AC gameplay and grounded visuals but hearing that it performed well for Nitroplus is awesome. Hopefully proper expansion or sequel is on the table now.

Mate shut the fuck up with this shit already. I don't care how frustrated you are, the chance of someone making a megastructure game with DeS level design and oversized mechs was even lower than that of a mecha-musume AC-like being made, and that was already a fucking miracle.
If you want more mecha games, you'll get them. If you want more AC games that actually play like AC and not AC6, there's already at least 3 promising doujin titles in development. Mechagirl games barely exist.
And to claim "Mecha-musume" or メカ少女 isn't mecha is fucking stupid. Either way, what false advertisement, anyone can see from any screenshot what you're actually going to be playing as. Wanna argue it should also be advertised as a third person shooter instead?

How long does it take to properly train a Mobile Suit pilot for military use? Pretty much in both UC and AU, the training pipeline for soldiers seems to be rather fast, and they're able to become combat pilots in the span of only a few months or even faster after finishing basic training. For more career roles such as academy officers, it seems to be a much longer process.

>0079 has Amuro, Hayato, Kai, Job, and Sayla become adept at piloting in the span of a week or so
>0080 saw Chris becoming a fully certified test pilot in the timespan of about a year.
>0083 mentions Kou and Keith going through a Federation military academy, meaning it probably took about a year for him to become a military test pilot.
>Athrun became a combat pilot after his training before the events of SEED, which also seems to have taken up to about a year to complete.
>00 tells that Setsuna became a Gundam Meister in the span of a year at the age of 14
>G-Witch mentions that the piloting course takes about three years, although it's not meant to be a military pipeline, since the education is meant for creating civilian professionals like test pilots and pilot instructors for industrial needs. Moreover, the students already have experience from piloting before being accepted, and most of the time they're just learning industrial and commercial skills during those three years. The training to learn the basics of mobile suit piloting probably takes a few months at most in Ad Stella to be considered "experienced".

In other words, the complete pipeline to becoming a fully-certified combat pilot is probably a year or so, when combined with basic military training, officer / NCO course, specialization training, combat training, and finally survival training (and some infantry training if it was not given during basic).

>>
>>23648821
Given that they're both very young but officers and pilots I'm guessing they went to the Federation's equivalent of West Point or Annapolis at 17 or 18 right out of high school in 0079, did their initial training/were commissioned as part of that and then did pilot training right after which probably took a year or a little more.

This would give a reasonable timeline for them to be where they are by 0083 assuming they both started training in 0079 or right before.
>>
>>23671742
The fastest route for an American high school graduate to become a Naval pilot in WW2 would be the V-5 or V-12A college programs for about 16-18 months, followed by flight training for 7-9 months. Maybe the Gundam jocks left high school at 17 and joined the fleet at 19.
>>
>>23672977
Probably something like that given that you can enlist in the modern-day US military at 17 with parental permission and they joined during wartime where the Federation probably needed all the MS pilots they could get so they probably went through an abbreviated training program like the WW2 ones you mentioned.
>>
>>23671739
Theres a multitude of factors that go into that too, shifty schools are only a part of it. Language barriers, distracted/risky driving, over reliance on driver aids, lack of maitenance, and regular drivers doing the same shit too. Next time youre out, just look and try to count how many knobs are driving with their heads down. DOT has been having a field day in my area, throwing OOS left n right.

As far as MS training goes, I would think that by mid to late OYW both sides had accelerated programs just to get bodies on the front, not unlike pilots in WW1. Just enough time to get the barest basics before youre off to the grinder.

Specialized training and schooling came later, more akin to flight schools in WW2, and carrying on to more advanced stuff like the old TOPGUN program.
