Ive been watching a lot of Gundam video games and anyone else feel like the entire Freedom line of suits just uncharacteristaclly for a Gundam has too many god damn weapons?Strike Freedom ups the ante with Not!Funnels, a chest cannon and god damn dual guns that COMBINE but even just the Rail Guns and Wing cannons seem like a lot more than what mobile suits usually have.Its really fucking bizzare seeing it next to like Wing Zero Gundam or even something like Heavyarms or Seravee, vomiting out so many different guns and filling so many different roles like they are the perfect Gundams.
>>23747631How else is it supposed to solo entire fleets?>or even something like Heavyarms or SeraveeHeavyarms Custom has 8 gatling guns. Seravee has 6 GN beam guns, later increased to 8 guns with the upgraded GNHW spec.
>>23747631Freedom realistically only has three weapon options but cry more you little bitch. HUURR DRR FA ZZ HAS TOO MANU GUNS HAS HEAD BEAM AND BELLY BEAM AND MISSILES AND BACK CANNONS AND RIFLEHURR SURR V2 AB HAS TOO MANY GUBS IT HAS VSBRS AND MICRO MISISOES AND A BEAM CANNON AND A BEAM SPRAY AND A MEGA BEAM AND IT MAKES MY PEEPEE BURT
>>23747631ENTER GAY MILK
Freedom is fine but yeah Strike Freedom has too much shit on it with the chest cannon and more than enough dragoons to make up for its previous load out. It just ends up lacking real identity, it's just everything.
>>23747691V2 AB was stupid for the opposite reason. They kept slapping new shit on V2 but in end the wings of light are what really matter all the way up to the final episode.
>>23747684Heavyarms has 2 double gattlings. >>23747691FA ZZ and V2AB aren't default configurations. FA ZZ is a final battle upgrade used like once and iirc V2 never uses all of the AB equipment at once.My issue with Strike Freedom is that it wasn't built with the writing of the show in mind. The dragoons are completely useless on Earth yet it doesn't dump them to lower weight because it looks stupid without them.
>>23747684Mobile suits that can destroy fleets have always been super robot stuffIf you had the tech for that, it would have already gone on a battleship first. And then your enemy wouldn't have a fleet any more.Like the whole advantage of a mobile suit is that it's MOBILE, as a weapons platform it's not meant to be a heavyweight.
>>23747631Because SEED is trash
>>23747949>Heavyarms has 2 double gattlings.4 more in the chest, no?
>>23747631>>23747897Not really, if anything the freedom has a really conservative loadout.Beam rifleBeam saberVulcans2x Railguns that basically function the way hyper bazookas would.This is practically the same armarment the RX-78 has when fully loaded, the only addition is the wing canons.The SF just turns it into the CE equivalent of the Hi Nu, but with the hyper mega launcher integrated into the design.
>>237480064x rail guns as it has both the skirt and wing ones.SF is silly though. The Freedom already had a Hyper Mega Launcher equivalent in the METEOR unit (which the SF also has)
>>23748008The wing ones aren't railguns>>23748008>The Freedom already had a Hyper Mega Launcher equivalent in the METEOR unitBut it can't be used on earth. Same with the dragoons.
>>23748013The Hyper Mega Launcher also can't be used on Earth. Neither can the Nu/Hi-Nu Funnels.
>>23747684Being capable of soloing entire fleets in Gundam isn't that impressive when majority of the fleets in Gundam are worse than glass cannons. Defensive capabilities of a glass cannon and offensive capabilities just as bad as it's defensive capabilities.
>>23747684>>23747691>>23748006>>23748006Its less about the number of them and more about the amount of variance on not only just one suit but also that its all standard equipment.Plus shit like the RX78 cant just vomit out a slough of barrage fire.
>>23747949Retard can’t count Gatlings
>>23748008Retard can’t count railguns
>>23747963>If you had the tech for that, it would have already gone on a battleship first.Late better than never
>>23747631Seethe more. Freedom is cook, simple as. https://youtu.be/PUbLGK2RCbE?t=95&si=QwWsTzHsI8CkkUQ9Also best debut in the entire Gundam universe.
>>23747631The crossbone will give you an aneurism then due to how many weapons it packs
>>23747963Yeah but that was the point of what made Freedom so ridiculous because it was so agile and mobile but also packed enough guns to take out dozens of MS quickly. It was also what was required for the story because they had to be able to fight both sides entire forces as a little ragtag group and still win
>>23747949>My issue with Strike Freedom is that it wasn't built with the writing of the show in mind. The dragoons are completely useless on Earth yet it doesn't dump them to lower weight because it looks stupid without them.It sort of was. Only one of it's deployments was on Earth, most of the time it fights in space.
>>23747631>watching video gamesThe fuck's wrong with you
>>23749198>He doesn't play animengmi
>>23748572Kinda unfair. That ship is like 3 generations passed what the Ginn was designed to fight. The Ginn was a first gen mobile suit designed to fight lightly armored Earth Alliance space ships and fighters.Your scene is basically the UC equivalent of a Zaku II from 0079 trying to fight a Ra Calium ship from 0093. Huge difference in power
>>23749174Crossbone isnt as extreme as the Strike Freedom. Take away the Peacock Smasher and its a silly honoraburu dueling suit.Take away even the original Freedoms rifle and its still some horrorfying fucker that can keep up a moronic about of pressure because it can still blast ass with rail guns and a beam cannon that doesnt occupy its hands.
>>23749528>Crossbone isnt as extreme as the Strike Freedom>Vulcans>Machine Cannons on the chest>Scissor Anchors>Screw Whip>2x Heat Daggers>Beam Shield that doubles as a brand marker>2x Beam Sabers that double as Beam Guns>Beam Zanber>Buster Gun that can combine with the Beam Zanber to form the Zanbuster>Peacock Smasher, which is basically like 9 Beam Rifles strapped together>Muramasa Blaster, which has a beam gun at the the tip and 14 fucking Beam Saber emitters on the sides
>>23749564You forgot >Crossbone>Honorable dueling suit>Has knives in its boots.
>>23749564>>23749599Well over half of that is worthless flair garbage that becomes dead weight the moment someone zooms out of range or goes for odd angles. It is absolutely some honoraburu dogshit dueling suit in comparison to even the Freedom that would dance circles around it.
>>23749608If someone is at range with the Crossbone, they can't damage it due to, Anti Beam capes, Beam Shields and since we are talking X-1 FC two I field generators. The reason why all the weapons are close range is that long range means not a threat. Also the Crossbones are extremely fast.
>>23749564The thing with Crossbone is that they have a lot of weapons that basically do the same thing, between the two strike freedom has way more options in games
>>23749610Ifield does ratshit against physical weapons but thats getting into VS territory and ultimately my nigger you are missing the point that its an absolute childrens toy in comparison to the Freedom line of suits which functions like a real weapon of war.
>>23749608Over half of that is ranged weaponry, and the Scissor Anchors exist precisely to prevent opponents from zooming out.>>23749613"Way more options" my ass, it's only rail guns, beam guns and beam sabers.
>>23749620>I field does shit against physical weaponsWhich is why it has beam shields. It's weapons actually have more variety is usage than the Freedom's. The Freedom has two flavors of ranged weapons (beams and railguns) and two beam sabers. The Crossbone has a multi shot beam launcher, a VSBR, multiple different types of beam blades, devices to keep enemies in close, and heat weapons.
>>23749641where's the VSBR?
>>23749712
>>23749637Yeah? Are you misreading freedom for strike freedom?It has a beam saber, beam cannons, beam rifle, railguns, dragoons, meteor and that’s not even taking in account any of the special abilities strike freedom has, typically in games it can fill way more roles because it has enough options to do so which is how it works in EXVS for example, so yes I’d say strike freedom has a lot of variety
>>23749720no I mean like, where on the crossbone is it? it's not the muramasa gun, is it?
>>23749720nigga whyd you post the F91 specs
>>23749747>It has a beam saber, beam cannons, beam rifle, railguns, dragoonsStill less options than the Crossbones, retard. Can you even count?>meteorOptional non-standard equipment that isn't even exclusive to the Freedoms.>that’s not even taking in account any of the special abilities strike freedom has, typically in games it can fill way more roles because it has enough options to do so which is how it works in EXVS for example, so yes I’d say strike freedom has a lot of varietyVideogames don't reflect reality. Are you really so retarded that you're going to ignore the actual loadouts of the Suits just because this shitty videogame you're autistically obsessed with displayed favoritism towards the Strike Freedom in its own particular mechanics because it's a popular MS from a popular series? Fuck off.
>>23749762The entire thread is about OP’s observation about Gundam videogames, nobody cares if Crossbone has a bazillion melee weapons, functionally speaking they are the same shit
>>23749762see>>23747631>Ive been watching a lot of Gundam video games and anyone else feel like the entire Freedom line of suits just uncharacteristaclly for a Gundam has too many god damn weapons?Also>this shitty videogame you're autistically obsessed with displayed favoritism towards the Strike Freedom in its own particular mechanics because it's a popular MS from a popular series? Fuck off.You never played EXVS in your life, most if not all the suits have mechanics unique to themselves.
>>23749608>worthless flair garbageRude. It is commitment to the bit.
>>23749712Hmm, thought I remembered the combined form of the pistol+zamber penetrating a beam shield and assumed it was a VSBR like the Victory beam rifles. Apparently wrong on them actually being VSBRs even if I'm remembering correctly.
>>23747684It's not. You send a 'dam as a lead and an army of jimmies with it.
>>23747631>gets pointed out there are suits with even more weapons>I-I-IT DOES NOT COUNTfucking idiot
>>23750315See>>23748096
>>23747631It's called freedom because it has the freedom to bear arms
>>23750387you are jsut coping now, now fuck off and think about making a thread worth enterin into you stupid cunt
>>23750409the bar for entry is already ridiculously low since you're here complaining
>>23750409You are just butthurt now that someone had a negative thought against your precious Freedom
