If they know what they’re doing 😭

And most damning is that no more of them would be made after making 3, due to using their blueprints as among the data they leaked to Zeon for a ploy

@@granmastersword yep but irl i doubt they would’ve throwed it away that quickly when you can still modify the plan so zeon would only basic knowledge of the machine

@@Tbs93 true that. But I guess by that point, with the development of the GM getting close to completing, and satisfied with the performance given by bipedal machines, they must have felt not much interest to further pursue Guntank like machines (at least not as a priority)

@@granmastersword yeah why waste money and resources in a more expensive machine when you have a much cheaper machine that can be modified into almost any role

Ms igloo in general needs more love

To be frank, all Guntanks need love

So not the Guntank that can turn into a gundam😐.......

@@ProtoAlpha it's just the core fighter section that swaps between them

But it's not a child soldier in a war machine killing people how are they going to preach about peace

Ahh good ol Gundam Evolution reference.

​@@Letztesmann I miss that game

when the GTX line will be introduced

Not sure these Guntanks would have been good for that situation, these are assault vehicles while the situation in 08th MS Team was a siege situation

@@TheKusa5with the amount of long range bombardment missiles and its cannon im shure it would have accomplished the same thing possible even better and survived longer

​@@TheKusa5 i agree, these tanks seem to work best in an environment where they can maneuver freely. In a urban environment they would be useless

​@@crystalclearchaos5387not really. Guntank MP is designed to keep pressure with constant bombardment which means they also have a lot of reserve ammo and they're hella cheap to make since they're just big tank with bigger gun while these things are suicide units made for hit and run tactics where they'll get in, fire everything they have and leave. Not really one that is meant for long term sieges. Plus in a ubran environment, a unit this fast is a death sentence because it can't scale buildings like a normal MS so it'll just keep crashing to other buildings if the pilots isn't skilled enough

Just one problem, what would Char have been using?

​@@WolfeSaber9933 Hildolfr, of course

@@user-bd2cc5jg6p Which one is that?

What they need is Techpriests

If we're being realistic these things would be way more effective as a platform than mobile suits, but unfortunately they don't look as cool. They also would have to rely on air support a lot

@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 That wouldn't be a problem, especially at the Battle of Odessa. More recent depictions keep adding mobile suits to the federation side, but the battle was still primarily fought and won by conventional tanks, artillery and good ol' total, unchallenged air supremacy. Turns out that even if you have 1300 mobile suits against less than 40, you can't do much if they enemy has fixed you into being unable to use any kind of mobile, offensive doctrine.

A prototype was made for the previous game, Hildruf, but it would be unrealistic to transport it from Side 3 on the other side of the moon or the lunar city of Granada. For the same cost it would be better to transport Zaku or other land combat weapons, arms, ammunition, and replacement personnel.

Because it wont sells more toys, they need moar toys to sell not cool unit

Let's just say the specs were not stolen but intentionally leaked so they could implant spies when the EFF deemed the unit uneconomical for mass production.

It's called the sheer fucking will and the indomitable human spirit (I'm not saying that Newtype aren't human)

@@arandomt-9056 and the worst thing is that the fucking will and the indomitable human spirit, is wasted, because every tactical victory, is pointless or a strategic defeat, and all the pain and loss of life was for noting. The show relay want to hammer home, war is a wast of good propels life.

​@@kirgan1000 wars are always about politician and rich people lives nowdays, good and commong people are the sacrifices

​@@kirgan1000 War speeds up technological progress. It advances mankind and makes sure a nation is kept a super power. Sacrifices must be made. Ultimately, war calls into action a will of a man, in which man measures itself against themselves and the universe. War is not pointless neither are the sacrifices of the those who fight.

​@@theforge4591 War is still the same and never changed throughout human history. War is violent clashes of interests between nations. By imposing a nations will against an opposing side. It isn't just the politicians or rich people that prosper but a whole nation.

Stuglife always chooses you.

Good thing this is Anime because physics would rip fast and mobile out of those tanks.

@@triage2962 And pilots too. Those G forces whenever they do so much as turn...

Flamethrowers against military targets is not a war crime. Flamethrowers against civilian targets is. "Flamethrowers are a war crime" is a common myth started by the fact that militaries stopped using them much post-WW2 when it was realized that their range was a problem and carrying a large fuel tank made them a target. Today, a lot of militaries have replaced them with Incendiary rockets like the Russian RPO and for a while the US had the M202 FLASH, which are safer for the person carrying, safer for the people around them, disposable, and most of all, have much longer ranges.

Sadly, they arent a war crime

@@Fulcrox buddy you should read some articles like first of all i study history and the military second of all my dad is actually a historian plus a person who knows the military and the conventions (war crimes) and he told me yes it is a war crime to kill someone with a flame thrower third of all read some articles like "At a quick glance, the rules as outlined by the Geneva Conventions on which weapons are allowed (and disallowed) to be used in combat make little sense. The objective of combat is, ultimately, to put an enemy down so the conflict will end - and yet such killing must be done via the most humane means available." or "So how, exactly, do the Geneva Conventions delineate what is and isn’t allowed when killing the enemy? It all boils down to two simple words: military necessity." or again "Weapons like a nuclear ICBM are strongly condemned by the international community - but a depleted uranium tank buster round is fine. A Browning .50 caliber Machine Gun is entirely legal, but simply shaving a side of a bullet is a war crime. Incendiary grenades are banned, but (and it’s very explicitly stated) a flamethrower was permitted and often used during the Vietnam War." and it can only be allow to remove cover and plants that are getting in the way. Thank you for understanding

GBO2 has the bad custom of nerfing Mobile Suits for the sake of making higher rarity ones better. The Zudah for example was stripped from it's shield deployable knives wich should be a Melee weapon

@@Fulcrox The Zudah has Enhanced Tackle and Shield Tackle skills to represent it. This is common throughout most Mobile Suits that have melee weapon shields, like the Marine Gelgoogs with the spiked knuckle-shield

@@MEGATRYANT Yup, wich is mega underwhelming considering they are actual weapons.

In reality, it is a test model for sending spies into enemy camps.

宇宙に陸戦兵器はいらんやろ

Because these things are only really good at combat on (relatively) level open ground with clear lines of sight. They'd be absolutely garbage in urban combat or forested areas, and Mobile Suits can still handle those types of terrain. I love the Guntank, but it's very much a specialized tool.

@@Bleachsoul13 What would regular turreted tanks and assault guns of WWII have as an advantage over this thing?

@@TheIntratec9 They'd still be useful in urban warfare and lightly forested areas. The RTX-440 is utterly useless in those types of terrain for anything other than deforestation and demolition respectively.

@@Bleachsoul13 I meant specific advantages. Is it the turret making it easier to see?

Military Intelligence. If the Federation developed the Guntanks further, Zeon would've caught wind of this and just do the same if not better. The war would've dragged on much longer too and resources will definitely be scarce. Mobile Suits are the game changer, no matter how they're presented in most media. Plus these RTX-440s are supposed to be mass produced instead of the RX-75 until a fiasco regarding its intel occured, all this to cover up the existence of Project V until the Gundam first launched.

ヒルドルブの主砲が30cmでザク·マシンガンぐらいは扱えるから··· どっちが勝てるかなぁ?

That would be great if the Big Tray-class and Dabde-class land combat ships that appear in the story were put to practical use. They are things that cannot even be transported by existing ships or railways.

MS IGLOO

Unfortunately, Gundam likes to pretend that the airforce wasn't a big deal.

​@@TheBigExclusiveIronicly, the OYW plays it straight. The main reason the Zeon earth offensives stalled was the Federation maintaining air supremacy. Feddie aircraft were leaps and bounds above the Dopp and Magellan Top. The Gaw carrier admittedly had them beat for a long range mobile carrier, but the Pegasus class would easily out perform it.

Not really, EFAF had upper hand through the whole War. Before these monsters were deployed, we got to see Fed fighters tore through Zeke air units like they are made of paper. Zeon air force was so beaten that we saw Federation transports regularly penetrate deep into Zeon occupied territories to supply units trapped there like White Base

Guide missiles become useless, 30mm machine cannot penetrate MS Ammo

@@40letranhuutin68 no amount of armor is stopping a bunker buster bomb. A high yield bomb will at least mission kill these things
