Actually, I'm curious now.
If any of you guys were to replace all of the ZZ Gundam's beam weapons with ballistics/missiles, what would you do to take the Hi-Mega's spot?
Nuclear railgun a lá MG Rex? A less insane thing like a high caliber machinegun with, I dunno, specialized luna titanium rounds or something like that for ammo? Just keep it because the High Mega Cannon is fucking insane and I'd say a trademark of the ZZ?

>Gundams established as OP but also have different roles

>basic beam attacks established as easily being able to take down any MS they come across, even the shitty pistol beam guns
>but the Virtue has a BIG beam cannon
>what does it do?
>same thing as other beam weapons just bigger and more recoil and power drain, functionally the effect has changed not at all as everything dies to a beam weapon in 1 shot anyways
this is why Gundam needs to focus more on normal conventional weapons and leave beam weapons as a special thing or a weapon with a lot of drawback. When everything is flashy beam weapons it cheapens everything. UC does it the best because it has officially stats related to the beam weapons strength, but even then it's totally a meme that theyve desperately tried to patch over in more recent media by showing beam weapons not always 100% blowing up MS anyways in 1 shot no matter how strong they are. Crazy to me that there has been no meaningful depiction of beam protection except for equally as flashy and stupid beam shields in this franchise. Anti-beam coating is literally a thing and never used at all, at least show beams dispersing over armor some?

At least early UC used actually working anti-beam chaff, there was the similar in SEED but in more soft sci-fi as mirage colloid stuff

Also, GN particle shields, even if they look like beam shields

The OG, at least, was armed with a Twin Laser Machine Gun. The big cannon is called the "NC Heavy Gun" but I don't know what NC stands for. However, I do know the Twin Laser Machine Gun could combine with the NC Heavy Gun, so it's probably some kind of energy weapon as well.

>>22923875
>Remove all beam weapons
There is a Beam Cannon in the "Arms Shield."

Virtue was the crowd control machine, lays a wide suppressing assault so the others can go in more surgically.

To some extent I can see your point because the gundams were so advanced they could cut through anything like paper.
But there is a reason or two why I could see it still being a viable ms.

>CB Gundams often operated in pars, Dynames/Exia, Exia/Virtue, Kyrios/Virtue, etc

In this context it makes sense because the virtue's role isn't as redundant when paired with others.

>The Virtue was designed as an anti-Gundam MS
The trial system as well as the Exia and Kyrios physical blades show that anti-Gundam warfare was anticipated, which is where the virtue becomes more useful

>Defensive capability
The GN field is one of the key points of the virtue, it's the strongest Gundam in terms of defense and the field allows it to protect its allies while continuing to lay fire.
>>
>>23027420
Ironically one of the few times CB were really in trouble was when they were almost overwhelmed by massed grunts, and the Thrones had to bail them out. So Virtue failed her designated job
>>
>>23027462
It wasn't massed grunts, it was indirect massed artillery and missile barrages from all directions. None of the Gundams had the ability to intercept millions of rounds, and GN beams fire in a straight line and can't return indirect fire against the artillery units, so they decided to hunker down in place. After 15 hours of continuous mass bombardment, each Gundam was taken out individually by specialist squads.
