Is the Plus mobile suits basically like the refined mobile suits? Also Nu Plus, Iota Plus & Xi Plus when?
>>23922448The Plus MS were moreso attempts to mass produce and perhaps even enhance/specialize Zeta project MS concepts in spite of the cost because the immediate needs of war superceded that concern. Refined MS (in the Fed case) were attempts to reduce the cost of mass producing Zeta era MS as the modern """""peacetime""""" era required of them in order to maintain a ready defensive posture (as peace was hardly a guarantee by the time the ReGZ was in the planning stages.)
>>23922448Delta Plus looks like a cathedral next to the other two.
>>23922448Yes, but refined here means they're stripped down to a specific purpose and simplified/streamlined. It doesn't just mean it's better or superior.
>>23922706>refined here means they're stripped down to a specific purpose and simplified/streamlined.You're not wrong, but you leave out the role of the actual military feedback from the battlefield that was going into it and in case of Zeta Plus specifically the additional variations they got. Theta Plus is likely a better choice for most pilots over the monstrousity that is ZZ, while still being a one man army heavy assault MS.I'd say that Plus series is as good or even better than original at what they are supposed to be according their intended role on the battlefield.They aren't heavily compromised like MPT Zeta and ZZ for example.
