>exposed fuel tanksWhy.
Just to annoy dipshits like you
>>23853917Exploding knees.
Those are helium tanks to fill up the party balloons.
>>23853917Realism to show how advanced the gundams are.
Anon, look at the size of them.Where are you going to put them? It's like complaining that planes store their fuel in their wings and fuselage.
That's not fuel.
>>23854069It's propellant, which is synonymous enough, but yeah, it's waterDo any data books really explain how the water propulsion functions? Electrolysis?
>>23854190pumped out of the nozzles
>>23854190Netorare using water as a working mass.https://childrenofadeadearth.wordpress.com/tag/propellant-tanks/
>>23854305Tierens have fission piles? I thought pre-GN 00 MS were all electrical (battery/broadcast) or diesel.
>>23853917The purpose of tierens is to be the "rugged" and "functional" machines compared to the flags, enacts and realdos.
>>23854200The thought of an HRL pilot having to constantly hand-pump the tanks to keep them pressurized like a giant super soaker makes me laugh
>>23853917It’s water you dumb fuck
>>23853917>If only you knew how bad things really are
Its propellant, to help propulsion at least in Gundam UC like behind the Sazabi and RX78FA. Its compressed gas to help them maneuver in space. I dont know why in 00 they have them at all because those mobile suits work on the ground. Pressurized water wouldnt work, and fuel wouldnt make sense if one small spark like crashing into something would cause them to blow up lol.
>>23854541Those tanks are specifically for the space version of the Tieren. The ground versions don't have those.
>>23854548So basically, the ground version would have been designed first, and the space version would have been converted from it in an effort to use as many of the same parts as possible, rather than designed from the ground up. Meaning the engineers would have had to work with the existing design and attach the propellant tanks in a compromise between function, physics, and the existing structure rather than placing them in an ideal location.
>>23854548The Taozi still had one. It was funny they tried to pass it off as an all environment ace custom and even gave Sergei one and showed them hovering in the air like any GN equipped mobile suit.
>>23855386No, this is simply the ideal location for them.>>23855908Because Sergei's All-Terrain Tieren does use GN particles.
>>23855908I assume the Taozi and the flight type were just using conventional jet engines and had limited flight time.
>>23855908Sergei's Taozi was retrofitted to use GN particles
>>23854540Doesn't QGqux also have exposed fuel tanks in its legs? Also holy thighs
>>23855909>No, this is simply the ideal location for them.Right, which is why they moved the water tanks to a different place for the later machines that still use water tanks
>>23855919No it wasn't. They gave it a beam rifle that has stored GN particles that come from another generator.
>>23855940Don't you correct me, I am the main character here not you peasant.
>>23853959
>>23855922A few GQ designs have them but the worst offender is hands down the GMgoog
>>23855966I would not trust the structural integrity of those legs.
>>23854066They should be on the back or in curved tanks around the hips
If you slap more fuel tanks on you can dodge more, just don't get hit bro
>>23854540I want to fuck that Zaku.
>>23856066>>23856072These make a lot more sense, they're behind the armour skirt, and if they're in an aggressive posture leaning toward the enemy, the tanks are basically shielded by the entire body.
