If mecha are gound vehicles, why are their operators still called "pilots"?
If your mom is such a pig why doesn't she live in a pigsty?
>>23619775We've been over this, they're space ships unless specified otherwise.
Same thing with calling F1 Cars drivers 'pilots',
If you sit inside you are technically a pilot."car driver" is a misnomer
>>23619775
>>23619775When you realize they're actually helicopter expys, it'll all make sense.
>>23619775> some hotdog 10 buns 8 tier bsBecause they sit in cockpits to operate them.
>>23622344kek really? sounds like cope to me >>23622351>"car driver" is a misnomerI refer to myself as an "auto captain" when helming a vehicle
>>23622986No, they're tank expies on land and fighter jet expies in space.

>>23619775Mobile suits are mobile suits. If they're "ground vehicles", then that'd mean suits like the Zeta series, the Asshimar and the Byarlant are ground vehicles.
>>23628600 (me)That and mecha at large aren't bound by terrain. Mazinger Z can just dock with the Scrander to become an aircraft, and two of the 3 Getter Robo forms can fly. Or the Laevatein being fitted with its flight parts.
why have the helmsmen of ships also been called pilots for centuries?
