I haven't been keeping up with zeonquest, but since when did we turn into Midnight Fenrir?

In space, the Gundam managed to keep both you and your wingman Zolomon Ringo at bay to protect the Trojan Horse, proceeded to survive re-entry and then did battle with the rest of your team that was on the ground.

You meanwhile had to sidetrack to Pezun, pick up some JAWESOME prototypes and then upgrade your Rick-Doms to brain breakingly powerful Pezun Dowdages.

Meanwhile on the ground...

>>8799017
In what way? Being considered aces? Or getting our own unit?

>>8799017
Around the time we got Doms.

>>8799058
Bit before that, actually. It was right before we went to Hawaii.

>>8799039

On the ground, Jolyne led the rest of the unit as they attempted to back up Garma's unit who intercepted the beleaguered Trojan Horse as it arrived on earth.
Your team swooped in to attack in Dodais, and for a while, although the enemies "Guntank" was powerful, it looked like you had the advantage.

All of a sudden: IT'S A GUNDAM!

New pilot to the team Corporal Ramirez Janson and his Efreet were destroyed to the Gundams beam rifle and the Zeonic forces barely survived when the pilot went berzerk and rampaged across the battleline brandishing a beam saber.

Both our side and the Trojan Horse retreated from the area.

On the plus side however, we WERE able to retrieve the enemy Beam Rifle, so it wasn't a TOTAL loss.

Oh yeah, Zeon Quest time! Too bad we can't just be regularly awesome, stupid Newtypes.

>>8799081

Yeah, Garma decided that keeping you as his honour guard was a waste of your talents and turned you into a special unit. He then sent you Hawaii in what was the start of the massive Attack on Jaburo arc.

>>8799118

... now that's not fair. About half of your guys aren't newtypes.

Well, they were before Ramirez bought it.

Hmmm... Is there a non-cowardly way to request to be stationed as far away from the Gundam and White Base as possible? We can't even penetrate their regular armor, much less their plot armor...

>>8799137

Now that Newtype Ramirez is dead, who will do everything? Its leaving a dangerous vaccum in the, "Go do this pointlessly dangerous, almost suicidal task" area.

You are currently in a Zeonic Outpost in Arkansas, along with the rest of your unit, and Captain Garma's forces as well.
The Kommusai used by Lt. Cmmdr Char has been moved from Garma's Gaw and onto a launch rail.

The Trojan Horse is being carefully monitored from a distance by flights of Luggun AWACs planes and it appears to be heading towards the arizona and the grand canyon.

Your normal ride, the Zanzibar Kai class Assault Curiser the "Outer Heaven" is still in the docks being repaired after the savage beating it got during the defence of the Rio-Grand Defence Line. It is still a week before it will be repaired.

You slept fitfully but nothing you're not used to after the harsh patterns of Operation Elephant and Hunter.

IT IS MORNING
YOUR ORDERS?

>>8799154
I think that Nachtmaren has been fulfilling that role, with a perk of receiving an absurd amount of test type suits.

>>8799154
>"Go do this pointlessly dangerous, almost suicidal task" area.

Well come on, he WAS the only new character MW2 introduced to not die. His luck was being stretched pretty thin to begin with.

>>8799180
Full debriefing about the encounter with White Base while we were off-Earth?

>>8799180

I think we should stay as far away from Gundams as possible. Also if that is not possible, get bigger guns, but for now;

Its morning, time for breakfast! To the cafeteria!

Get sitrep from Garma and see how everyone is doing.

>>8799154
Poor Ramirez... He should have used smokes to cover his advance.

>>8799180
Reconvene with Jolyne's team. Ask for their personal opinions on the Trojan Horse and its mobile suits. Anything we can get might help.

>>8799149
What you talking 'bout? We put a hole in the Trojan Horse! We damaged it! WE MAKE AMURO BLEED! They can be hurt.

But you're right, we should leave them to Char. Our efforts would be better spent taking on Canada or Mexico.

>>8799195

He probably would have lived if he didn't get jam all over his interior monitors. He just couldn't see it coming....

>>8799149
well, meta-plot thinking, Amuro hasn't gotten the G3/magnetic coating (unless I missed something) yet, and being stationed away from him might result into running into, well, the *other* Gundam teams.
Both the RX-78-4 and 5 will be almost combat-ready (though canonically both will be crippled/destroyed so long as we don't go to A Bao Qu... which I presume we will have to)
The RX-78-6 should be tied up with the Midnight Fenrir team so long as we get of the States soon.
South-east Asia will have at least 9-12 RX-79[G]s, but they shouldn't be that much of a hassle. Then, of course, there's the 3 Blue-Destiny suits, and the Pixie, and the... well, there's a shit-ton of Gundams out there, all right?

Apologized, do you have any insight into whatever became of Fate/Stay quest? Because I found it pretty enjoyable.

>>8799207
Yes, but none of them have anything equivalent to White Base on their side, and I don't think they even -have- plot armor.
Let Char attack his Trojan Horse, while we help secure everything that isn't White Base.

>>8799180
Inform the team of the new suits

let our guy go over them so he knows how they work and maybe tune them up a bit. Also see who gets what and >>8799190

>>8799199
Plus, we were pretty much told that if we keep trying to fight Amuro, we'll be dead like... Everyone that fights the Gundam and isn't Char.

>>8799226
Oh, they sure do. There's more than a few Pegasus-assault carriers in the EFF, the Thoroughbred in particular is quite powerful. And I know this is meta-thinking and really, we shouldn't be doing that, but one of the major reasons Zeon lost the war (beyond losing the economic advantage) was the fact that they sent so many aces, resources, and time chasing down the WB. If we can keep the WB occupied with us, then Char can be free to do other things. Like win the war, perhaps

>>8799226
Right. Starting with Canada. Right now, in America, we're fighting a war on 2 fronts, to the North and the South. If we can take Canada, it will let us re-direct our efforts to the South without worrying about being attacked from behind.

Also, it's fucking Canada. We'll have a nigh-endless supply of Maple Syrup.

>>8799180
We might want to see how Jolyne is holding up under the strain of losing someone under her command. Might have only been Ramirez, but I remember her looking pretty bad at the end of the last thread.

>>8799258
Well considering we've fucked up the mexican army TWICE we might wanna take south before we take north

>>8799258
It's a good idea. We need to make sure we can hold California Base. A space-launch center plus fortress plus cave-port for subs? Yeah, we'll need it. I'm worried though. If Garma goes up to Seattle...

>>8799190

I second that.

I will also second any strategy that will keep the Trojan Horse on the edge and under pressure with both minimal chances of losses and minimal force use on our part. The war's more important than a single ship and we've won as long as it's not somewhere where it can become too much of a danger to our efforts.

If it's possible to have a Musai shooting at the Trojan Horse from space I'll be happy. Even if we've got shit chances to hit and damage the ship, we'd at least put them on the edge and force them to hide in the clouds.

Also: Let Char get on to the Job.

>>8799256
Well the trick there would be convincing him to go after something else, and I'm not sure we can. Not to mention, given the choice between having one MS pilot tied up in holding off Trojan Horse or an entire Spec Ops team, I'd send the team to do stuff and let the one MS pilot hold off the Trojan Horse.

>>8799256
...What makes you think we can hold off Amuro for a week, much less the war.
Besides, from what I understand, free time is the last thing we should give Char, since he's just going to tear Zeon apart with his petty vendetta against the Zabi family.

>>8799256

Dosen't Char have a personal vendetta against White Base now?

>Full debriefing about the encounter with White Base while we were off-Earth?

Your team and several other survivors from the attack on the Trojan Horse meet in the palatial tactical office that Garma has snagged to discuss the combat abilities of the enemy as well as go through the technical data that Lt.Cmmdr Char was able to obtain in his sneaking mission to Side 7.

A lot of the data overlaps with information your team has already received from salvaging that prototype mobile suit in Don Martin.

The enemies mobile suit development, titled "Project V" delivered 3 testbed mobile suit: The GunTank, the GunCannon and the Gundam. Each Mobile Suit is designed to fill a specific role, but is also flexible enough to survive other roles in a changing battlefield.

First up, the Guntank

>>8799208
No. And I would have liked for that to continue. I'd do it myself except doing two quests would likely drive me to drink.

>>8799256
We won't be able to tie up white base, char being tied up is a good thing, unless you want him running around killing the royal family unchecked. Its best if we just ignore white base or send small things after it that way gundam doesn't get experience, we don't lose resurces or aces

YOU KNOW, LIKE THE PLAN WE MADE SEVERAL THREADS AGO AND ALL AGREED ON

>>8799270
Jaburo's to the South. And once we go South, we'd have to keep going until we hit the end of South America, otherwise all we're doing is expanding the border and we'd still be fighting a war on two fronts. That's why I say go for Canada first, it will probably take less time to subdue and be done with.

>>8799295
Not yet, he just views them as a curiosity now. It doesn't become personal for him until Amuro kills Lalah.

>>8799303
alright, good point

>>8799300
This mans got it

dopp harrassing, artilery ambushes and that's it. We hit, we leave before the suits can even launch over and over and over again.

White base gets strained, we don't lose much and gundam doesn't donate alot of data to the GMs

>>8799300
>YOU KNOW, LIKE THE PLAN WE MADE SEVERAL THREADS AGO AND ALL AGREED ON
fiiiine. We be losing the war, man.

Hmm... We could also do the siege breaking tactic of constantly blaring loud music towards White Base... I mean if it's letting air in it probably also lets in sound.

>>8799337
But... Char hates the Zeon royal family remember? Even though he has a good reason, if he's not stuck with Amuro, there's a chance he'll start a civil war.

>>8799337
Not really, with our tech gains we're already producing doms when, right now, they'd just be TESTING doms. On top of that beam weapons are around the corner and we have magnetic coating before the feds

we might have developed tech enough for zeon to win the war in the end even if we die

just gotta keep garma alive so the family doesn't bitch at each other and slow production

>>8799297

The Guntank was the first designed, and the most primitive, this 'mobile suit' is closer to a mobile armour in design, and lacks the same power reserves as the other two. It is designed with long range firepower in mind, and is armed with a pair of 180mm cannon, mounted over shoulders; and two 4-tube 40mm rocket launcher, mounted on arms. The 180mm caliber is powerful, and unlike your Magellans which have a similar size shell, the Guntank aims quicker. That said, the power and accuracy of the 40mm rockets is suspect, and a close assault may be the way to deal with it.

You can clearly see that this weapon is a descendant of the prototype vehicle that you recovered from a hidden Federal base in Arizona.

>>8799327
>gundam doesn't donate alot of data to the GMs
oh, we already fucked up that part.
>New pilot to the team Corporal Ramirez Janson and his Efreet were destroyed
you know, the Efreet with the EXAM system? Oh we fucked up

Give Char a Pezun Dowdage to use on his personal quest for GUNDAMMMM? We get rid of him and increase his chances of taking down Amuro. Not sure by how much though.

>>8799370
Not really, we fought it twice. Gundam kills aces left and right in the show from the black tri stars to countless zeon tanks/dopps.

If we stop its killing now, it has ALOT less experience

>>8799370
Ramirez's Efreet didn't have the EXAM system and neither does Garma's.

>>8799337

That's to be expected, but at least we're not gonna loose it because we've been hunting a single ship.

It's better for us on the propaganda front too. Better to have "That odd ship that just would not die" than "ZE WHAITO DEBIRRRU".

>>8799370
No, this was the normal Efreet. Without the EXAM.

>>8799383
I say we give our gouf custom to Ramba Ral, now that zoloman has the faster act zaku. Ramba in a better gouf = possible game over for white base

>>8799388
What insanity makes you think we can stop the Gundam?

>>8799393
>>8799398
oh... carry on then gentlemen

>>8799369
Is it possible to reverse-engineer the 180 mm cannons for our use?

>>8799411
No i mean less experience because we're NOT fucking it, not because we killed it or something

The second suit, the Guncannon was a mid-range support suit. Believed to be the first proper Mobile Suit developed by the federation, you can see some clear similarities between it and the "Zanni" you encountered in Roswell.
Armed solely with long range weapons, like the Guntank, this mobile suit also has shoulder mounted cannons, of an even larger caliber (240mm) however, their barrels are shorter, and the range suffers as a result.
Aside from that this suit is also noted to have the multi-part fusion reactor set-up that the MS you salvaged in Don Martin possessed, which probably means that it is suprisingly agile. A dangrous foe to be sure, but a close range battle may be the end of it.

>>8799405
Well the Custom Refits been out for awhile, whose to say Ramba Ral doesn't already have one?

>>8799443
He didn't, he had a prototype

in THIS universe however...i dunno

>>8799369
HAVE CHAR DISTRACT THE GUNDAM
>advicelister.jpg
SEND ZOLOMON AFTER THE GUNTANK

>>8799413
Also, I'm not sure how much data it would have been able to collect. We were heading for the Trojan Horse, and then he one-shotted Ramirez with the Beam Rifle. Not like the Gundam saw its combat capabilities.

>>8799427
Wow... Char really found out a lot of information.
...Please tell me for the mission he did more than the sunglasses+rolled up sleeves combo?

>>8799485
also it only saw rick-doms in space, literaly the first ones. That data is useless and can't compare with the gound...now we're going to hit him with downage, again a model only we have and in the long run useless to the feds.

its best if we convince garma to only let char deal with it or do the lightning raids

>>8799452
Of course I know in the Canonverse he had a prototype, but we got one as well and moved up its production schedule. Hell, we saw a whole unit of Gouf Customs at Jaburo. It is very likely Ramba Ral has his own Gouf Custom at this point.

>>8799427
Any data on how it would fare from long-range bombardment?

>>8799485
Hmmm... Has Midnight Fenrir done its recon run on the WB yet? or do they not exist in this universe... I'm so behind...

>>8799327
>We hit, we leave before the suits can even launch over and over and over again.

This would be best if we do it so they can't get any sleep. We mount a raid big enough to get them to sortie their armor, and then we book it out of there, only to repeat in a half an hour or so. After a few days of that, Amuro will be lucky to be able to get the gundam to stand, let along fight, where we are still reasonably fresh from taking the attacks in shifts with our huge pilot roster. And if they don't come out, we just pound on the ship until something important breaks.

>>8799509
Plus our color scheme made it difficult for Amuro to get a good look at us against the blackness of space.

Lastly and most dangerously, the Gundam.

A close combat beast, this mobile suit eschews the shoulder cannons of the previous models, and uses to the reduced weight to mount extra Luna-Titanium armour and still maintain a greater level of agility.
The greatest dangers with fighting the gundam are twofold, firstly, with it's heavy luna-titanium it can be considered incredibly hardy, near indestructble in fact.
Secondly the Gundams armament is far heavier than anything seen in warfare before. It's primary weapon is a MS scale particle cannon dubbed a "beam rifle" capable of ignoring all armour and destroying any mobile suit in an instant. Luckily it's rate of fire appears to be semi-automatic at best, and it has been documented to run out of energy.
Thanks to Jolyne salvaging the Beam Rifle, we now know why.
In close combat, the gundam uses a 'beam saber' which appears to be a plasma fountain contained in a minovsky particle bottle, it's technology that we can soon start to replicate at least...

Even the suits conventional weapons have incredible destructive power. The Head Vulcans alone have already accounted for at least 3 Zaku's.

The Gundam is considered to be an incredibly dangerous mobile suit, and engaging it without overwhelming force is strongly not advised.

>>8799509
Right. And as you say, best thing we could do is let Char keep at it with an outdated Zaku 2 so that it gets no useful combat data and lets Zeon concentrate on useful things.

is there a synopsis of this quest anywhere? I like Gundam and I like Red Dwarf

>>8799532 The Head Vulcans alone have already accounted for at least 3 Zaku's.

how did that happen, I thought the head vulcans were anti-air and a distraction (hit cameras and shit

>>8799532
Is it possible to disrupt the Minovsky coating for both the Beam Saber and the Beam Rifle's 'bullets'?

>>8799532
Still no insight in how to recreate Luna-Titanium?

>>8799532
Ok, sudgest the raids/assigning char against them to garma, he's seen first hand that this thing is actually capable of. Hitting it and leaving before they even launch is by far the best idea

>>8799548
go to sup/tg/ and look up zeonquest.

>>8799561
IIRC it's not until the Big Zam that we have I-Fields. In any case, we don't have a suit with a generator large enough to produce it

>>8799569
According to the last thread, we have the know how, but lack a steady supply of Lunarium for it. Getting some would require blockading Von Braun, which is just not strategically viable at the moment.

At this point in the briefing, Char appears, Garma addresses him.

"Well Char, it looks like I may have spoken too soon, it looks like you've had some hard battles these last few days..."

"Frankly, I'm just glad to have survived" Char admits.

"What's the current status of the Trojan Horse?" he then asks.

Garma indicates to the tactical map behind him.

"We've been shadowing it with recon planes since yesterday. Minovsky particles in that area have begun to thin out, so Radar is now an option." Garma informs him.

Char looks at the computer generated map of intel.

"Hmm, they're rather high... but I don't think they're capable of returning into orbit... I wonder..."

THE LT. COMMANDER, HE IS A CHAR
YOUR ORDERS?

>>8799532

So basically its an indestructable death machine, where everything it shoots is instant death if you don't dodge it. The only perceptable weak point would be its pilot, maybe if we hit it with enough explosives we could concuss the pilot or maybe even knock him out. Other than that, I'd marker it for an avoid engagement general order, it would be a waste of our troops to have them try and fight it if its that gross.

>>8799558
Because plot armor.

>>8799600
We're char?


"I WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PERSONALY, ALSO I'M TOTALY COOL WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY AND WILL, IN NO WAY, HAMPER ZEON'S PROGRESS."

point out that they are only one ship and perhaps our efforts are best spend elsewhere.

>>8799608
we did that by having the rino bomb it...Amaro went berserk and killed everyone

its best to just NOT FUCK WITH IT AT ALL

>>8799569

We know it's made at the Von Braun lunar colony.

And we can't go and fix that fuck up without disrupting Luna's neutrality.

Don't we have anyone on our side? Like Mars? Or something.

I know the Jupiter Energy Fleet is being mercenary about this, but what can we expect?

Just going to throw this out there, but we need to get Zol a kanpfer

>>8799600

See

>>8799300

>>8799600
Well, let's make our suggestion about not putting too many forces into this. As has been said about the Gundam, unless you have overwhelming numbers, it's just not worth it. Either go at it with all our forces in North America, or ignore it.

>>8799617
Alternately, this.

>>8799600
Ask what he's wondering?
I mean are they trying to stay high enough to avoid anti-air assaults?

>>8799600
Ask if we have enough resources to constantly harass the Trojan Horse and destroy its morale?

>>8799684
We don't currently, the last attack more or less cost garma his entire air force

>>8799673
suposedly it is too high to hit with artilery, I dunno about anti-air. Even if we hit it with anti air it'd just come lower, drop the suits and kill everyone on site

>>8799684

This.

And the other Anon that said to keep them sortie-ing, but backing the fuck off once they launch.

Seems like the weakness of these gundams... is the pilot.

Doesn't matter how awesome this machine is, if the pilots are exhausted, then they can't fight.

Ask him why he withheld information.

It would've been nice to let everyone know about that BEAM GUN

>>8799700
Do you think it's high enough to fire upon from orbit with our space battleships?

>>8799600
Give Char a friendly slap on the back, say 'Good luck, buddy' and try to get stationed in a different time zone.

you know, fighting Gundam sounds like you're playing Monster Hunter against Rathalos for the first time

>>8799700
> Even if we hit it with anti air it'd just come lower

Ambush time. use our fast anti air suit to hit them, have them drop into a heavy artilery zone, book it with AA as they get blasted and if any suit is launched cease fireing and pull out

>>8799715
...We can do that? I mean, I've never seen it happen so I assumed it wasn't allowed or something.

>>8799715
...hey yeah, why hasn't there ever been an orbital bomardment in the gundam universe?

probably something in the treaty, but if not fuck it we're going bombing

>>8799728
I don't know, that's why I'm asking. But if we can....

>>8799700
We should probably also remember/notice that the Gundam's thrusters are far superior than anything we have in terms of flight time, overall thruster force, and recharge

>>8799709
>Seems like the weakness of these gundams... is the pilot.
(As a meta-plot side note, it'd be important to remember that of the 12 or so Gundams deployed in the OYW, only Amuro's survived till the final battle. It should also be noted that he piloted the canonically weakest of all the Gundams deployed)

>>8799762
...That is because his plot armor is so great that I'm surprised it isn't visible.

>Do you think it's high enough to fire upon from orbit with our space battleships?

As long as we can play pretend and force them to panic we're golden.

>>8799597
>According to the last thread, we have the know how, but lack a steady supply of Lunarium for it. Getting some would require blockading Von Braun, which is just not strategically viable at the moment.

Actually, your supply of Lunarium is pretty good since you own Grenada and all, the know how still eludes you. It probably will until after the war, as well. You'll have to make do I guess.

>>8799617
No. You aren't Char, although by freak coincidence you do both happen to have the same rank.

>>8799715
>>8799748
>>8799728
It shouldn't be possible. After all, the entire point of the Apsalus (08th MS team) was that it had to be fast enough and heavily armored enough to break through the space blockade around Jaburo to get close enough to blast it apart.

>>8799577
>Ok, sudgest the raids/assigning char against them to garma, he's seen first hand that this thing is actually capable of. Hitting it and leaving before they even launch is by far the best idea

You suggest that a series of hit and run attack, similar to the ones that the Federation utilised against the Mastodon Battalion during Operation Elephant. He considers it.

"Unfortunately David, such a strategy requires a near undending supply of forces, which we don't have, or the ability for our forces to attack and escape unscathed. Unfortunately, due to minovsky particles, we cannot target the enemy any further away than within range of it's guns. Whose heavy flak you've felt first hand. Our current air forces have taken heavy hits in the Jaburo assault and the defence of the southern US, and we don't have much more available fighters than what I've been able to scroung here.
Also, the White Base's heavy beam cannons would make an easy meal of any Gaw that got too close, so that possibility is out of the way."

He then states.

"So realistically, what are our options?"

"Wait for it to make a tactical blunder which we can take advantage of. At the moment it's in difficult terrain and flying low, making air attacks even more hazardo..."

"Sir! The enemy ship has launched a small fighter!"

"Is it on an orbital escape trajectory?" asks an agitated Char.

"Confirmed sir! The ship is on escape velocity!"

"I knew it! Garma, I'm taking the Kommusai, with it's escape boosters it might just..." Char runs out of the room, Garma begins barking orders to the staff to make sure the Kommusai is clear to launch.

YOUR ORDERS?

I'm pretty sure the learning computer doesnt "suck up" info about hostile units or anything like that. Just fighting, any kind of fighting will have it "learn" from Amuros super movement, once installed in GMs they too will be able to partially mimic that movement.

>>8799796
Let Char handle it. I have no idea what they are doing, but I'd guess sending someone back into space for something. Either way, Char can shoot it down. We, on the other hand, have work to do. Work like taking on Canada.

>>8799796
well, this is new and we don't have the troops to do the raids, shit.

sudgest ignoring it, or like char was saying, when it bunkers we bomb it, that's it

>>8799796

"KNEW WHAT YOU PINK BASTARD!?"

>>8799796
...None of our mobile suits are space-worthy anymore I don't think... Cross reference the fighter with that Flying Gundam thing we fought back in Jaburo?

>>8799865
.... hmmm... when could the WB have gotten the core booster?

Is a Core-fighter with Core booster able to do that?

Dunno what else would be capable of launching into space...

Did this happen in the show? what did they launch into space?

>>8799865

The Act Zaku, and a pair of old F2's (which are still no slouches) are, but I think that might be it yeah.

>>8799890
>>8799895

Don't use meta-knowledge without having watched the actual first season guys. For all you know, the White Base can launch Core Fighters that fast simply by putting them on the GunPerry launch ramp and turning things up to Eleventeen.

>>8799796
What on earth could they possibly want in space? I don't think anything's there but some Feddie ships.

Also, can we let Char handle this? This is an odd development, and we need the aces spread out.

>>8799796

Maybe it's time that we'd ask to be deployed to somewhere we can be useful. We're not really a unit particularily well-trained in space battles or MS confrontations.

>>8799851

So, do you want to give chace to Char as he dashes to the Kommusai?

>>8799934
Char's already on his way so I doubt we can really stop him

>>8799945
Hmm, i think we should ask what he knows, won't slow him down that much and it'd be nice to know

Run after and shout

>>8799945

Obviously, he knows something that we don't. And knowledge is a precious commodity.

Especially when dealing with the Feddie's 'White Devil'.

We're not joining him, we're just asking what the hell he's talking about. We could do that through comms, I guess. But the fact still stands that once we get our answers, we'll go back to Garma for orders.

>>8799945
Lets back him up anyway. What could be the harm?

>>8799945
No, let him go. This is his battle. Now let's talk to Garma about what targets need to be hit,, now that we've weathered the Jaburo counterattack.

This is a chance to buddy up to Char and learning his SECRETS.

Lets do it.

>>8799934

Well, they ARE in a Minovsky heavy zone and have been since their arrival, so that means they probably aren't able to get a radio signal out , and Laser Comms are out since we own the orbital zones above the US. So if they could find an area of low interference and get a signal to a ship or Jaburo directly...

>>8799980
Garma could die

>>8799986
Concur.

>>8799930
...If that thing is the Core Fighter then would that mean that White Base is currently Gundamless? Have we determined the possibility of the Trojan Horse having multiple Gundam units?

>>8799986
We don't want to stop him, we just want to know what's up. We can find that out while runing behind him and yelling information back and fourth

>>8799997
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Let's just ask him through the radio.

>>8799995
Can't we just get some ships in the area and pump out Minovsky particles? I'm not sure we have the units to pin down the Core Fighter even if we wanted too, is the thing.

>>8799997

Protect the hair. History will call us fools but no historian has seen that hair in person.

>>8799970
>>8799979
>>8799991

You give chase to Char to ask him what's going on.

"The Trojan Horse has zero data on the situation here on earth, they have no idea where to go or where the Federation lines are, furthermore they've been cut off from all contact since arriving. This is probably an attempt to call for reinforcements from Jabruo or Luna 2. I'd take you with me Lt. Commander, but there's no time to load a second mobile suit in the Kommusai, and the less weight it has the better!"

He dashes into the outside towards the Kommusai, you salute him as he leaves.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8800009
I don't think we've seen multiple Gun- units out at the same time, but we'd be hasty to assume that a CARRIER has no MS defenses.

>>8800062
We should tell him to load the act zaku,

GIVE CHAR THE ACT ZAKU

>>8800062
It'd be a bit of a dick move to leave now... Weigh benefits of preliminary assault and if that thing IS a core fighter, whether it could be something other than the Gundam.

>>8800062
see
>>8799986
>>8799943

>>8800062
Get back to Garma, see if we can strike White Base while the Core Fighter is gone.

>>8800119
There's also the problem of WB being way to high for us to hit

Since the tech in Zeon quest accelerates at a faster rate than in the original series/Movies, does that mean Amuro will eventually get the Gundam Alex??

>>8800062

Genius. Wish him luck and head back to Garma for orders from the big man.

no time to give him the act zaku, is there any other way to follow Char up or should we try to find a way to back him up?

>>8800146
nah, but he's loading the ship now. Loadin the act or his char custom, makes no difference

defenitly see if he wants it, if he does give it to him

either way let him go alone

>>8800136
Garma just got through telling us that we don't have enough forces to engage the Trojan Horse.

>>8800167
I thought he just said we don't have enough resources for that constant harassment strategy?

>>8800167
let alone we don't even know if that is the core fighter

>>8800062

Well, this appears to be a reasonable decision. Anyone got an idea how we could help him out?

We could, as an example, spread more minovsky particles and somehow force the Trojan Horse off position.

It would not be a bad move to isolate that core fighter from the Trojan Horse.

then fuck it and ask Garma is there any other pressing Fed targets that we can strike?

>>8800185
Right. If we can't even spare a few wings of Dopps and some Gaws, what makes you think we have enough units to stage a full scale assault? We don't have enough for even a raid.

>>8800136
>>8800138

>There's also the problem of WB being way to high for us to hit

Dodai's?

Anyway, you relate Char's tactical assessment to Garma.

"Hmm, so that's what they were up to... Well in any case they've had to gain a fair bit of altitude to launch that fighter... I do believe one of those hit and run missions you proposed earlier is in order..."

Along with two wings of Dopp fighters, you're team will be mounting a hit an run assault on the Trojan Horse, it's believed whilst the vessel is so high, none of it's mobile suits will be able to launch, since they aren't capable of flying.
Furthermore, studies show that the Project V series does not perform HANO drops with the same consumate ease as your Zaku's do.

CHOOSE YOUR MOBILE SUITS AND LOAD-OUT
AVAILABLE HANGAR DETAILS TO FOLLOW.

>>8800062
Contemplate writing some more papers addressing how to deal with an enemy that completely outclasses you in every viable way, and realize we completely forgot the logistics behind the viability of orbital bombardment?

>>8800218
I'm going to assume the downage is way to heavy to ride. otherwise those. also that new suit with the tones and tones of missiles

We want to make one good pass with as much damage as possible, that's it. Take the multi tube launcher for the downage over the 10 clip bazooka and use our beams

>>8800218
What? Look, two posts for a hit and run, three or more for asking him about hitting other targets! We don't want to engage the White Base! I mean, he JUST got through telling us how dangerous the flak it can put out is!

>>8800218

Can we have a Musai shoot down from above? Maybe even the Musai Char came on?

Every bit of extra firepower will be of help.

Leave the White Base to Char. He's competent enough to keep it tied up.

Back to Garma we go, start planning our take of Canada.

>>8800218
Are Dowadages still out for Dodais?

Anyway, Action Zaku for sure.

And make sure we ruffle Garma's hair before we leave.

>>8800218

Well, let's give Char the Act-Zaku, just to see what he thinks.

Uh... shit. Can doms go on Dodais? Because we can put ourselves and Elaine in Doms, Zolomon in his Gouf custom. Not sure if we should bring in Hobbes, though. All he'd be is a target.

>>8800283
zoloman can go in the act if char won't take it

Also yeah the doms, otherwise that mid range suit we got with the missles is definetly going out.

As much fire as possible for one pass and that's it, we leave

>>8800283
We've been over this every time this comes up - NO DOMS ARE TOO HEAVY TO RIDE ON DODAIS.

Also, no giving Char our shiny new suit. He fares well 'nuff in his salmon pink Zaku II.

I still think we shouldn't bother attacking the White Base, but if we're committed, we should go in Act Zaku, Zol in his Gouf, and is the Gasshia too heavy to mount on a Dodai apologized?

>>8800283
Act Zaku is a good match for him, but it's not pink, so I don't think he'll like it.
Tell the jockeys on the hangar's PA system that he's welcome to test it out if he wants.

As for us, what would be good upper atmosphere suits? None have flying...

>>8800237

It was a fair bit more than 2. Besides, Garma is your CO and he's ordering you to do it.
It would seem a bit strange for you not to do a strategy that you yourself would want to embark on.

As for orbital bombardment, Beam Cannons attenuate in the atmosphere, and kinetic weapons are impossible to target accurately due to minovsky particles. You'd need a self-guided ordinance, and in order to make shielding it viable, the whole thing would end up a size and yield proscribed under the Antarctic treaty.
Heck, the early Operation Casion, where you had Mass Drivers pummel various areas around the globe from the moon did little more than rattle the Feds.

HANGAR BAY CONTAINS

1x Act Zaku
1x Gigan (not Dodai Compatible)
1x Gasshia
3x Pezun Dowdages (not Dodai Compatible)
1x Gouf Custom
1x Rhinoceros (Obviously not Dodai Compatible)

HOLY SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED WE HAVE THE JUBURO SUITS WITH THE MISSILE TUBES

THE JAGGERS!

TWO JAGGERS AND THE GESHIA, ONE PASS ALPHA STRIKE

>>8800369

I thought we still had Zaku 2s?

Either way, looks like Zolomon in a Gouf, ourselves in the Act, and Jol in the Gasshia.

Some one that knows what are armanent is can hash that out.

>>8800369
Point. Well, us in the Act Zaku, Zol in the Gouf, Elaine or Jolyne in the Gasshia.

>>8800369
can any of them load the dom bazookas? do we have any other weaponry besides the 280mm zooks? those didn't seem effective at all and if that's all we can use we might as well not even go

>>8800382
>>8800403

Nope, those are all back in California still. You're currently in the middle of nowhere... namely: Arkansas.

>>8800423

None of the units can take the 330mm Zook, and last time you used on of those on a Dodai, I think you stalled the fucking thing.

>>8800455
well, i guess little damage is better then no damage. We have anything better then the normal zooks?

>us in the Act Zaku, Zol in the Gouf, Elaine or Jolyne in the Gasshia.

How about Jolyne, since she's a mid range support specialist, and the Gashhia was touted by Katoki in Pezun as an equivalent to the GunCannon?

>>8800455
Heh, yeah. Good times. I guess we'll take the Zaku Bazookas. Try to aim for the hole that's already been made by the previous fights, which also has most of the flak turrets in the area removed iirc.

>>8800439

Well, what is the plan then? It's suicide to just fly out against the Trojan Horse without putting down a limit to our engagement time. Remember that Ramba Ral always fell back pretty quickly and lived to fight quiet long.

>>8800491
Sounds good. Remind me, what caliber are the missiles on the Gasshia?

>>8800492
While we're at it lets bord the thing

perhaps someone will take the 90 with the grenade launcher then, that'll be better to get into a confined space then the zook maybe.

we got the act gun of death though, that's going to be fun

>>8800403
This is perfectly accecptable
Make sure Zol gets a Hammergun though, and make it a priority to take a pot shot at the bridge with it if possible.

>>8800509
Archived thread says 180mm. And yea, we don't want to run this engagement too long. One, maybe two passes then we get the hell out of dodge.

>>8800491
Oh, of course. Put the mid-range artilleryman in the mid-range artillery suit.

Also, wow, we have only 3 Dodai-capable suits...

>>8800534
THIS. HOLY NECROPHILIA THIS. I LOVE DEAD FEDDIES. A LOT.

>>8800478

The Act Zaku can have this: It's a quad barrelled bullpup machine gun, 100 rounds per magazine, but can get through them in the same time it takes your 90mm to get through 30.

Pezun supplied you with 4 more empty mags and the thing takes 90mm rounds. However a hip slot can only store 2 magazines.

Also, the Gasshia can handle a specially designed "Hammer Gun" but it's stubby hands can really use normal MS weapons.

Oh, and no matter WHAT you say, Zolomon is taking a Hammer Gun as well.

>>8800522
That is not how a hit and run raid goes. We move in, make one, maybe two salvos against the thing, and then GTFO.

>>8800534

Should we not rather strike the motive system? Attacking the bridge could incite GUNDAMRAGED and we're probably incapable of killing them anyway.

Also: Stranded White Base = We win.

>>8800579
Then take the Bullpump with 2 extra clips, and a Bazooka. If the choice is between the MG and the Bazooka though, take the zook. Gasshia with a zook too.

>>8800579
I expected as much for Zol.
We should also bug the fuck out the instant it SEEMS like they are about to launch MS. The Gundam does some limited In Air Fighting Ability after all.

>>8800579
Give everyone zooks, we aim for the damaged point and go

>>8800579
Use the hammergun to damage the armor properly, then attack the softened parts with explosives. Use the bullpup to attack the AA turrets.

>>8800631
That's why we're only doing one pass. unless armaro is already sitting in the gundam they won't be able to launch it by the time we did our damage and leave

if we're not that banged up we'll do it again in a half hour or so

>>8800599
On the flip side if we, god forbid and rest Suzouki's soul, could take down Bright. Then who does the ship have to fall back upon as a leader? Kai? Mirai? Job John?

Yeah, this is actually meta as fuck come to think of it.

>>8800631

Regarding that...I fucking do hope we've got a few planes on the lookout while we're engaging that ship.

People experience tunnel vision during battles rather often and it would be a-fucking-nice to have somebody around to tell you that Rape has just been deployed.

>>8800611
Gashhia can't take the Zook, but as for your Act Zaku: Bullpup, 2 Reloads on left hip, Heat Hawk on right, F2 standard collapsable Bazooka on rear plate.

Sounds good? Remember without reloads, the Zaku Zook only has four shots. Which might be a good way of limiting your combat time anyway.

Zolomon is taking his Gouf Custom with a Hammer Gun, 2x Heat Hawks and the usual shield gatling and wrist vulcans.

Sounds good?

Good. I'm off to get my dinner. I'll be back shortly.

>>8800668

That Lieutenant with the broken arm most likely.

And yes, you ARE being as meta as fuck.

>>8800677
That's fine, Zoll will be on AA cannon duty, jol will hit the soft spot and so will we with all our zook ammo and then on the way out unload with the gun against any weakened turrets or other targets of oprotunity.

For the hell of it leave some heat hawks embeded in the hull too

>>8800684
Wakkein? True, he is still on the White Base at the moment. Honestly, our chances would probably -improve- if a dick like him took command permanently.

>>8800684
Different guy here. Nothing meta about possibly killing the Captain of a ship. Nothing meta about it being unlikely that there's a decent substitute on board.

The only thing that's meta is the names.

>>8800705
Maybe a nice one in the bridge. Leave a reminder of whose airspace this is.

>>8800677
So Zol will just toss his Heat Hawks at anything vulnerable and then start bashing with the Hammergun?

have you all forgoten bright can never die?

So... are we going to hit and run.

Head back... reload... then do it again a half hour later?

Because... I like that idea. Keeps them on their toes and if they can't launch the Gundam, we might do some serious damage to them.

>>8800705
>>8800739
Don't get cocky. This raid shouldn't last for more than a single minute, tops. Unload our bazooka and the Gasshia rockets, take a few hits with the hammergun, then get out. Try to stick to places where the battles have destroyed some of the flak turrets already. Bridge shot would be nice, but we should concentrate on the places that have already been weakened.

>>8800795
Right, that's the same thing I said in >>8800705
by "Zol on flack duty" i ment while we're unloading into the damaged area he's zipping around unloading his gatling and wrist vulcans, using the hammer on bigger things, we all leave at the same time shooting backwords into whatever we can

thow a heat hawk for fun too

So speaking of the Hammergun, how does this sucker work?
Is it on a retractable Chain or does it just launch a spiked fist of FUCKYOU at the enemy?

>>8800841
retractable Chain

>>8800841
I'd assume it's retractable;e, otherwise it's a one-shot-wonder. I mean, with ammo of that size, you'd only be able to carry 2-3 reloads for it. Just makes sense to keep it on a chain.

But I might be wrong.

>>8800795

I will second this. Pepper the place with Minovsky particles to secure out attack, check combat data - identify weak spots - unload arms and run the fuck away.

Then run the fuck away some more.

>>8800841
The assembly on the top looks like a powered retractor mechanism of some sort. And yeah, it wouldn't make sense to carry reloads for it.

Holy shit, I completely forgot about this D:

>>8800885
You know, instead of hitting the weakened area we can spash more missiles across the face of WB. It wont do as much damage to the ship, but it will take out more flack turrets, making future raids much easyer

We need to board this bitch and take her. While the Zakus and our mobile suits cant go toe to toe with the gundams themselves. Our Ground SOLDIERs are being neglected by us. Remember White Base has a skeleton crew filled with at the most part teenagers and civilians press ganged into service. We know this because of the reports we got from the Zaku team that attacked the colony. They confirmed the destruction of its command and crew elements.

BOARD IT WITH MARINES AND SPECIAL FORCES!

>>8800954
we do have an infantry devision now....

be kinda hard to get them up there though

>>8800891
Thats what I was thinking, but with all this MS-X stuff, you can't really be sure.
I mean hell, I don't even think that there were models made of half the shit in there.

Another Brainwave for the Raid though is this: Take out the Catapults. Won't necessarily take out their ability to launch MS, but would impede their ability to launch supplies directly into battle.

>>8800954
You know I didnt think of this. What are they going to do with their gundam units? Shoot their own ship?

While we attack we should have jetpack equiped troopers?Dowehavethose? or like hoppers filled with men swarming onto white base.

We hit it with everything we have. We are facing the Gundams from the mobile suit viewpoint when we should be focusing like a actual generals standpoint. Take out any units supply or base, no matter how elite or how awesome, and they will fall

>We need to board this bitch and take her.

Do we even posess ships and people that could do that on such a short notice?
That might be worth an attempt in the future, but right now we need to make our unit survive this assault.

>>8800954
We have no infantry with us now, and it would take time to get them here. The White Base has lots of flak that would probably shoot down a fair amount of our mean, and once inside... well, if this thing doesn't have internal defense turrets, I will be disappoint.

>>8800954
That's kind of impossible, since the damn thing is currently at cruising altitude. And we don't have anything that could function as boarding craft at all.

>>8801012
*fair amount of our men

>>8800997

We have mechanised infantry.

And they're flying high? Low?

My god. We have the perfect chance. We should tell Garma! Why waste trying to take it out when we can just take it!

>>8800997
We have a infantry division and we do have small ships if I recall. They look like grasshoppers with small cargo bays. Atleast thats what I remember them looking like.

Lets face it. Gundam, Guntank, Guncannon are pretty much unbeatable. But White Base is their life line, its their Commander, its their head. If we can get even atleast a platoon or 35 Zeonic Marines or hell even just regular army troops. We can fucking take it out.

Thats always been the problem in the show. They always focused on taking out the gundam. Look at how much fucking damage Ramba Ral did with troopers boarding whitebase.

We need good ole blood and steel for taking Whitebase

>>8801038
>>8801042
We have a platoon of Wappa mounted infantry. They are back with the Outer Heaven in California. Even if they were here, the Wappas can't reach the altitude that the White Base is currently at. This discussion is a moot point, and even if we DID take the White base, the Gundam is still inside and would just shoot down our men.

I really dont think we can do it this time. But its CERTAINLY something we need to inform Garma about. But if Garma foams at the mouth at how awesome this idea is we might be able to do this now.

Hell we can just grab 30 are so cooks and supply guys shove guns in their hands and when we attack whitebase have them slip in underneath her with some of those hoppers. Set charges on the bottom, blow holes in or just enter from the gunports.

>>8801042
Not at this time, after a few of our raids maybe but right now they'd just die

Also eventually WB will bunker down to repair, perhaps instead of a MS ambush like in the show we'll send our commandos

>>8801038
They are flying ridiculously high so that the Core Fighter could reach space. They are too high for artillery to reach them.
...We still should do this though.

>>8801070

That's assuming that Amuro would be in the pilot seat at the time.

What we're talking about is a raid. Take them while they're sleeping.

Zip ties and non lethal munitions.

Crack team of infiltrating commandos. Take them out before they can respond and we'll have ourselves some new Feddie gear.

However, if we don't have infantry, then we can't do it. Yet.

And it's at a cruising height anyway. We'll have to put this on the back burner.

>>8801070
How? That doesnt make anysense. The Gundam will shoot down our men from the inside? With what? and how? Its a fucking Gundam. Infantry targets are a no go for them.

Im not saying we do it now. But its something we need to think of.

We should do it when they go through the grand canyon. They will most likely go low and actually through the canyon itself to avoid air patrols. Thats when we hit it with everything we got. Im thinking a heavy screen of dopps really to just sacrifice themselves and soak up the fire. But not before we entice the gundams themselves out with our forces. While they are busy and whitebase is shooting the dopps we can go balls out and drop all the men we have on it. I mean really just throw them at it. Even 10 men that are trained could possibly take whitebase. We know they have no expierenced crew. We know they have no security team.

So since infantry workings are a no-go right now (despite being a great idea) is there any way we can expedite their need to go to ground so we can then say hi with a commando team?

>>8801106
>>8801111

there is a Bright Noa image that is the perfect response to this plan

>>8801137
Is it the one smacking Amuro for being a failure? Because thats always the answer

>>8801111
NO, WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
It's a carrier. A tough one. With powerful ordinance and MS complements.

THAT'S ALL WE KNOW.

>>8801111
That's meta knowledge. Nachtmaren doesn't know any of that. Ramba Ral tried that with a lot more then just ten men while White Base was grounded, and he failed. And he's the guerrilla warfare expert.

>>8801143
We also got word from the raid zakus that it's undermanned right now. Which means a marine boarding action would be fucking great if we could pull it off.

>>8801131
eventually they'll have to repair


I say lets tell garma about this, odds are we won't be after the gundam for all that long, but we taught him well, I'm sure he'll implement it when the time is right

>>8801143

Someone mentioned that during the raid on Project V, the crew was killed off and it has a skeletal crew and press ganged civilians... wasn't that part of Char's debrief?

/r/ YOU TOOK A SHOT AT MY SHIP.jpg

>>8801111
It's an 18+ meter robot suit. It can fucking step on them. It can use its head vulcan. It can do a hell of a lot of things. And you know, it wouldn't surprise me if the White Base has an armory and when boarding becomes apparent, they start passing out weapons. Sure, they're just civilians with guns, but that doesn't make a bullet to the brain any less fatal.

>>8801143
I think we actually did receive notice that the White Base's command and crew was destroyed.

>>8801137
This one?

>>8801165
This

We do know about it, reguardless lets stop worrying about it its not happening this time as we were ORDERED to do a RAID and we will do a raid very well

LATER however, we'll have the commando's attempt, not while its in the air though, that's dumb

perhaps we should ask zeon to develop some sort of ship used to capture other ships...

>>8801175
We did, I dont know why these fags think its META KNOWLEDGE DURRR

Its not. We recieved info from the zaku team that its command was wiped out.


So we should certainly board it. But not right now. Next quest certainly which I assume it will be going through the GC.

Thats when we should strike

>>8801171

How will it head vulcan and step on them if it's in it's carrying cradle in the damn MS bay and the commandos are in the fucking corridors?

>>8801171

Civilians have an unfortunate tendency to die horribly when faced with well trained soldiers using superior tactics even if there is an arms parity.

Besides how is the gundam going to stomp people inside the ship?

>>8801171
True, but they are civs with guns we have an INFANTRY DEVISION that's alot of trained guys

Ral tries this too with alot less men and DAMN NEAR WINS

>>8801202
>>8801207
With plot armor, duh.

>>8801242
...That makes anti-sense. This isn't Cybertron, White Base won't be designed to have giant robots stomping around the corridors.

So we are in agreement? Next time we find it we launch a commando raid. What style should we do it in?

A full on attack with men dropping ontop of whitebase during their trip through the Grand Canyon. OR a nightime sneaking raid. The first one would most likely be an entire infantry division dropping on it while the night mission, perhaps a company of men.

What do gents

>>8801301

We should worry about that later.

Let's cut the natter and do our hit and run.

>>8801301
Why not both? If the first one fails try the next one. We should hit it in the canyon if it fails we hit it at night when it lands.

>>8801301
We've got plenty of time to plan that as it's not going to happen right now.

For now we need to decide how we can do the most damage in the least amount of time. I think going for the engines or control surfaces is the best bet.

>>8801301
Combine them. A nighttime sneaky raid dropping on top of it from above.

>>8801314
Agreed, but we need to mention this plan to Garma. And we need to stress its importance and our ability to do it if given the correct resources. We are on his good side and he should be able to get what we need in the time alloted. Lets get to playing them raidan gaems

>>8801301
Well whatever happens first, whenever it is low and there's time to do either

I think they'll repair first, so the ngiht raid will probably happen first and then when ever they're in position we can do the assault bording. Give the guys some demo charges too, if they can't take it blow it up from the inside

again we'll decide and be more specific when the time comes

>>8801333
SCREAMAN EAGLES!

>I think going for the engines or control surfaces is the best bet.

I second making everything that is an engine the secondary target after hitting spots that are already damaged.
I'd in fact pirorize hitting the engines over going for the bridge.

>>8801242
Dude. Your argument fails horrendously.

Give.
It.
Up.

>>8801365
Yeah. Hit the engine to shit. This is perfect. If we can cripple her so she has to put down for repairs somewhere, we can find her and board her.

I love you /tg/ if only the zeeks had you during the war. We would have showed them fed bastards whats up

Okay, I'm back.

Oh and about attempting to take the ship with infantry, whilst your unit does have a platoon of Mech.Inf assigned to it, they had yet to arrive before this whole Gundam situation kicked off, so you don't currently have them.

As you mount up, Lt.Cmmdr Chars Kommusai has already passed beyond visual distance, you can still see the decaying wisps of contrail steam though.
After giving your new suit one last check over, you take the skies, two wings of Dopps in front of you, Jolyne to your left and Zolomon to your right.

"I still can't believe Ramirez bought it." Zolomon states.

"Yeah, that's why this has got to be a quick in and out raid, we don't have the time to hang about, if the Gundam comes out, I think it's fair to assume he's going to aim for us before the Dopps."

"Considering my suit is painted as a giant skeleton sir that seems like a fair bet." Zolomon concluded

By air, the distance to the target isn't that long of a journey. Over the radio, a crackly voice tells you that the Kommusai has engaged the enemy fighter with the Kommusai and prevented it from escaping the earth.

>>8801402
Kudos to Char. Now let's show him up.

>>8801402
We need to make sure we tell Garma after this raid about our plan to attack the ship with infantry. He is supreme Commander after all isnt he? And our bro aswell. Im sure he can rustle us up a bunch off tought specops types

>>8801402
Oh right. Does the Pegasus class have guns on the bottom? Because we'll want to come in lower if it doesn't.

>>8801402
Awesome! Congrats to Char, now let's hit the White Base.

>>8801443

I don't think it does and agreed.

>>8801402
So are we going to do damage to turrets, the already damaged areas or both?

I say both, unload our heavy arms into the damage area (jol and davids zook) and have zol unload on turrets with his gatlings and hammer gun for the harder targets

We finish when the zook is out of ammo, on our way out spraying what we can into the base

>>8801443
Some of its machinegun turrets are based on the bottoms of the hanger and engine blocks.

>>8801402

Alright lets do this.

>>8801461

That reminds me...we should probably keep that bullpopgun back to cover our retreat. It would really suck to be completely out of shot if somebody decided to chase us.

Keep a single magazin for the bullpopgun in reserve. We might need it to cover our arse on the way out.

>>8801549
We already did the load out and yes we have that with two reloads

>>8801555

Well, then let's make certain that we're not gonna spray it all over the Trojan Horse.

You see the target from up above and begin to dive down, you wont have much time, they've probably seen you by now.

"Aim for the engines and control surfaces, if we can force this thing to land we can board it with infantry." You order.

Your team swoops in as heavy flack darts around you. Even saddled with the Dodai, you notice that the Act Zaku is much quicker to respond that what you've piloted before and you find that your able to able to navigate through the enemy fire with a minimum of hits. You fire a rocket from your Bazooka at a hasitly repaired wing, in bends slightly but takes the hit. A cluster of missiles from Jolyne's Gashhia hit it and blow several holes in it and cause further damage.
Zolomon dives underneath the trojan horse, and after using his shield to defend from a salvo of flak fire retaliates with his Hammer Gun, the impact crushes the underside flak turret and it explodes.

Zolomon abstains from reeling the hammer in and flies forwards before swinging it up on one of the engine blocks. There's a resounding 'THWOCK' and it leaves a dent but causes little other damage.

You flit overhead and fire another zook shot at the engine from above. It's not a clean shot as the ship is taking evasive maneouvers however and most of the impact is taken up by the armour.

"Sir! The enemy fighter just returned to the ship! It must have evaded Commander Char!"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8801603
Fire off one more round then diddie mao, get the fuck out

>>8801603
Do not engage, concentrate on the engines and controls.

Focus our fire at the engines. If any bays open up launch a zook round into it.

>>8801603
Move around to the front and start shelling the hanger deck as they bring it in. Ignore the fighter for now, we can't hit Amuro, and he can't do jack to us in a Core Fighter.

>>8801603

We did our hit, now we run.

>>8801603

Char, you useless fuck.

I say we keep following the plan, make sure we do what we set out to do and skeddadle back.

>>8801603

Radio that Char. Tell him to do his job.

Fall back emptying everything we can towards the horse

>>8801603
Empty the rest of our zook ammo at that damaged wing, let Zolomon and Jolyne take a few more whacks at it, then dive and fucking get out of there.

WE HIT THE SHIP NOW WE BAIL.

Oh well, apparently the core fighter is really just an escape vehicle. Its heaviest arrament are rockets.

Fire last zook shot, empty a bullpup clip into some flak guns and DIVE DIVE DIVE, HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT

Have us and bros empty everything we have on the already damage wing. the we

GET
OUT
OF
HERE
ZEONIC SOLDIER

>>8801628
>>8801629
>>8801639

You order one last pass before bugging out you swing down low, noticing that several more flak turrets have opened up and are firing at you from the bottem. The ships bucks in stange ways to avoid you... come to think of it, how IS this thing even hovering in the air like this?

In any case you fly through the flak, your dodai takes a glancing hit, but keeps on going, and you put another hit into the engine. Armour begins to flake off, leaving a stange hole seemingly made up of squares underwhich you can see the engine housings.

Zolomon darts quickly through the fire, pulls up to the hole you've created and pulls the trigger on his Gatling Shield.
Nothing happens.
Zolomon then jinks sharply to the side with a cry of "Oh SHIT!" whilst he ejects his shield mount, it explodes moments later.
"Damn! I guess I took heavier hits there than I thought!" he remarks. His arm has taken damage and his dodai is smoking lightly.

To the side, a barrage of missiles from the Gashhia lash against the heavy flank armour of the Trojan Horse, you're pretty sure a couple of flak turrets took hits as the flak on that side now seems lighter.

>>8801641
>Char, you useless fuck.

to be fair, it's not like the Kommusai actually has all that many guns. It's got fuck all armour and is mostly rocket fuel as well.

>>8801603
FLEEEEEEE!

>>8801759

RUN FOR SMEGS SAKE RUN!

>>8801759

Uh, meant to add a

YOUR ORDERS?

to the end of that post.

>>8801759
...It's remarkably agile for something so large.

>>8801759
So wait, what just happened? Did his Shield gatling just jam and then explode from the jam, or is there some kind of explody field protecting the engines?

Anyway, that was a very successful attack. Let's head back to base.

Yeah, time to leave, WE'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME GUUUNNDAAAMMM!

>>8801759
pull out bull pup, open up on that hole in the engine then FUCK OFF BACK TO BASE

>>8801791
His gatling gun suffered a misfire causing it to explode

>>8801781
Back to base. We've accomplished our mission, no need to get greedy.

Too bad we cant get anything into that delicious hole right now. Maybe on our next try...

Dat plot armour.jpg

Use your machinegun just open up a few times into that hole, hell dont we have those grenade things? or heathawks? Just hit it with something. HELL FUCKING THROW THE GUN AT THE HOLE.

>>8801762
>>8801779

You give the order to bug out, you've almost certainly done all you can do. Your MS team dive down, towards the ground cover whilst the Dopps move to escape.

A single crimson flash lances out and destroys a Dopp.

"IT'S THE ENEMY MOBILE SUIT!" one of the pilots call out.

Luckily it seems that he hasn't spotted you because your underneath it.

The hangar doors fully open, a second shot scores a second shot, and then leaps out of the ship, into freefall.

Well, he can almost certainly see you now.

>>8801759

Time to bail, I think.

Get out before they might launch a suit.

Once we're there, we should check in with Garma about doing a raid.

Also, I remember this being called: Ceasefire with the Devil... when's that going to happen?

>>8801808
Okay, good. I was afraid the White Base had developed some kind of field that made MS explode when they got too close.

>>8801826
>IT'S THE ENEMY MOBILE SUIT!

Get his name after this, and I am pretty sure he'll survive because he's smart.

>>8801826

Oh fuck. Well... shit.

POUND THE FUCKER!

But.. you know.. still make our getaway!

>>8801826
RUNRUNRUNGOGOGO

Scream at char to cover your retreat.

give the gundam something to think about by using our new machinegun and Dopps to cover our retreat.

>>8801826
Well then... Sounds like it's time to scatter and jink like a motherfucker while the dopps try to harass him and throw off his aim.

>a second shot scores a second shot

INFINITE SHOTS WORKS

Limited drop capability my ass, everyone scatter and run run run. Evasive action etc.

If he jumps to the ground the White Base will have to follow him to pick up the Gundam...we can hit them then with artillery!

>>8801826
Oh lord. I suppose we should have seen this coming.

Split up, evasive maneuvers. We've got subflight lifters, he doesn't. USE THEM. Do not engage him, if he wants to freefall then let him.

>>8801866
RUN IN A SERPENTINE PATH

>>8801863
We do not want the Gundam thinking. The fact that it CAN think is our biggest problem.

>>8801826
Run damnit!

>The hangar doors fully open, a second shot scores a second shot, and then leaps out of the ship, into freefall.

Is climb and GTF out a good strategy? We can probably climb faster and higher than the Gundam. Also going up is a good way to get distance between us and it as it's going downwards.

>>8801869

That's right!

Maybe take a few pot shots... and radio or laser ahead that they dropped the gundam. As soon as that thing touches down, we can shell the fuck out of it.

And I'm here!

Have Zol def. fall back first. The rest of us should follow suit. Bracket the Gundam with our Bullpup MG, and, if we can land any, 'zook rounds. If we can, attempt to get Arty presighted on where the Gundam is going to land. If there is an opportunity to fuck it up, I say we take it. If Jolyne can get an unopposed shot off with her Hammergun, which I doubt, she should take it.

>>8801901
Agree, GO UPWARDS. WATCH GUNDAM FROM CLOUDS. GIVE COORDINATES TO ARTY CREWS

WHATS THE PRICE OF A MILE? STYLE BOMBARDMENTS!

In Character that seems mighty similar to what happened to those Depp Roggs over Salina Cruz. And how similar it is in performance to the Apsaulus unit that nutter had.

Meta Knowledge tells me that we hit its Minovsky Craft System.

>>8801897
Also, are we Newtype enough to maneuver around the Gundam and get inside White Base before the hanger doors close?
No. We are not. But it'd be pretty fucking funny if we could.

Also HEY! Calvin had his Recon Zaku! We could have taken that! ...It still needs a Sniper Rifle though.

The Gundam dives downwards and you manage to dodge out of the way from it's beam rifle shot.
Thank god for your Act Zaku's agility.

It continues to persue you as you keep diving down, a second shot misses you by less than a meter and snaps one of the power cables on your neck.
Alarm, warn you that your sensor efficiency has been degraded due to reduced heatsink performanc in that area.
Which is the least of your problems.
You dive off the Dodai just as a third shot destroys it, pull out your Bullpup and fire off a full burst against the gun. He has to bring the shield up to defend against it, giving Jolyne and Zolomon more time to get out of the combat zone WHICH THEY BETTER FUCKING BE DOING.

Your magazine runs dry and you move to reload as quick as possible. The Gundam brings it's gun out again... only for Char to shot it in the back of the head as he freefalls towards it from above in his MS-06S.

"Get out of here Lister! I'll draw it's fire!"

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8801957
Fuck yeah Char.

Well you heard the man.

>>8801826
We retreat. Have Jolyne empty a salvo or two at the damaged engine if she has the opportunity, but if she doesn't, ALL UNITS DISENGAGE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ATTACK THE ENEMY MOBILE SUIT.

Also, move in erratic patterns to avoid Beam fire.

>>8801943

Yeah, sorry, I completely forgot about that. My fault.

>>8801957
Listen to him.

Without a Dodai we don't have much choice in the matter anyway. Let's hope we remember all that stuff about combat drops from back in Mastadon Battalion.

>>8801957
Thank Char, empty a Bullpup salvo at the Gundam as we escape, and wish him happy hunting.

>>8801957
Fall back, get Arty coordinates, and give it something to think about with our bullpup while we do. If Char needs a save, catch him on the Dodai.

>>8801975
Have Jolyne empty a salvo or two at the damaged engine if she has the opportunity, but if she doesn't, ALL UNITS DISENGAGE. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ATTACK THE ENEMY MOBILE SUIT.

Do that. One last fuck you if we can hit the engine then we BACK THE FUCK OUT

I'm tempted to say "WRASSLIN TIME" but that would probably end badly.

Char is such a bro, we should take him up on his offer and GTFO while the Gundam is distracted.

We'll regroup and circle in on the White Base if it drops down. Or the Gundam if that remains alone down here. Capture it for Chao-ZEON

Can a dopp hit the engine? someone's got to hit that bastard.

>>8802020
Its imperitive WE MUST hit this engine. Even if it means sacrficing a member of the group. We must imbolize White base.

>>8801957
Get out of here while he draws its fire. Also, any idea what weapon he hit it with?

We can toss Char that snazzy new zip gun right?

THEN we bug out.

>>8802040
No, we can always do another raid in a few hours

that's not the kind of thing you just reapair, our damage however, is

We fight another day/hour/whatever

>>8802040
This paradigm is what lead to Zeon losing the war. The last thing we should do is throw aces at the Trojan Horse and Gundam in small groups. It always ends badly. We can deal with the Trojan Horse, we just need to do it intelligently. We're still considerably in advance of any of its serious attacks on the Zeon War Effort. We can nickle and dime them to death from here.

Fuck, once the Gundam is on the ground we can bring out our new Pezun toys for reals.

Bugger out!

>>8802049

The question is, should we?

>>8802075
We come back and the entire white base is coverd in gundam shields

>>8802099
>>8802049

As far as we know, he's been okay to us. Plus, he's a Zeon.

We treat him right, he might treat us right.

We toss him the Zip gun.

>>8801982
>>8801973

You have your Act Zaku salute smartly and continue your unplanned HANO drop. at about 300m you angle yourself and hit the thrusters, the advanced Zaku gives an impressive push as they take the strain and your able to land with consumate ease.
Practice makes perfect as they say.

You look up above to see how the combat is faring. Both Char and the Gundam appear evenly matched, the Gundam can't get it's beam rifle to hit the nimble Char Azable, and despite getting no less than 3 direct 120mm hits to the Gundam's face (!!!), the Mobile Suit appears undamaged.
The Beam Rifle evidently runs out of energy at this point as he replaces it and tosses the shield before charging at Char with his beam saber.
He's clearly unused to mid-air combat however and Char dodges his clumsy attack and responds with a CHAR KICK.

This knocks the Gundam away, which then uses it's thrusters to push himself upwards and meet up with a rapidly descending Trojan Horse, which then slows it's decent and returns to the cover of the mountains hiding itself from your view.

Char lands easily next to you.

"Ah, well, better luck next time eh?" You say to him.

>>8802106
I raise my eyebrows at the incredulous nature of your post.

Note for later, tell crew to make a burst fire mode for the machine gun also prepare for a HANO landing.

>>8802134
This calls for ZAKU BROFIST.

>>8802134

... ask him if he can teach us to do that.

>>8802134
Let's start putting Arty into those mountains. Just something to let them know we care.

>>8802158
If not, steal his control macros when he's not looking.

>>8802134

Seconding asking him to teach us to do a Char Kick.

Also, hold up our fist. See if he knows to pound it.

signal for pickup and brofist Char for his timing.

Over the radio you see the crackly form of Garma Zabi mateiralise in your viewscreen.

"Come back you two, we've been doing more analysis of the Gundam. We've discovered that it's not a single unit, but it's capable of being interchanged with multiple parts depending on the situation."

"You mean, that what I've been fighting is just a single facet of a fully modular war machine? How are we supposed to fight something like that!?" Char asks incredulously.

"Well, in anycase, you should return to base, we'll talk more strategy there."

The two of you are walking to a dust-off site where a Fat Uncle will pick you two up.

YOUR ORDERS?

>>8802197

Maybe we can setup a suit training thing with him while we have him dirtside?

>>8802134
Can we ask for a motion data exchange? We might have some tricks he likes, and we KNOW that he's got some kick-ass evasive abilities.

Ask him about his experience fighting the gundam and tell him of our encounters with Wyatt Bandit.

>>8802206
BROFIST FOR CHAR. Suggest he get an Act Zaku. This ride is sweet.

>>8802116

Yeah, it might be a nice move to hand him more dakka, and we're getting the fuck out anway.

>>8802040
>Even if it means sacrficing a member of the group
You need to get the fuck out right now.

>>8802239
>>8802206

We should also ask him if he likes any of the particular suits that Zeon is comming out.

Also the data exchange/ training with our squad.

>>8802206
Shoot the shit with char, ask him if he wants a different suit, we got plenty

>>8802216
Zakufist Char, ask what he believes the most effective weapon against the Gundam is. Also, ask him if he'd like to read our Combined Arms dissertation, and maybe swap some movies.

>>8802230
OH, right. This too.
But seriously, we need his melee and evasive macros. Those are MIRACULOUS.

>>8802266
And Moves. I'm sure while Char has wonderful taste in film, his maneuvering skill is what we should really go for.

>>8802206

BROFIST!

>>8802268
Knowing Char, he either programmed all his macros himself, or he just doesn't use them at all. He's just that good. If it's the latter we should recommend the Act Zaku to him.

>>8802280

And ask him about how Garma does his hair...

>>8802203
>>8802197

You Brofist each other before moving on. You ask him about movement macro's he's using.

"I'm not, I do most of this on the fly."

"You're kidding."

"Not really, I admit that I had to set up my cockpit and cotrols just so, and I don't think it would work for anyone else though shame to say."

"Ah well, it was worth a go."

"Impromptu close combat maneouvers tend to be more accurate if you have it set up properly, but controlling the speed is difficult, and it can interfere with your AMBAC." He states.

You continue to chew the fat about maneouvers and fighting enemy mobile suits until you reach the Fat Uncle.

We need to figure out a way to immobilize the Gundam (even temporarily). As it stands now all our weapons fast enough to hit it don't do enough damage and our weapons strong enough to hurt it can't hit it! If we can find a way to immobilize it (even temporarilly) we blast it to oblivion.

>>8802351
Called a Heat Rod, bro. We just need him to get him close enough to Zol without him being aware of Zol.

>>8802351
He was taking hovi's arilery to the face. No, we don't have anything that could hurt it

>>8802369

I don't think we've used those against the enemy mobile suit yet either, so it should be a surprise...

>>8802394
We have to wait until we get beam weapons until we really have a shot at destroying the gundam.

>>8802347
HELL YEAH, Char is awesome.
So instead of proper macros, he has partial movements programmed in which he uses to adjust his positioning, and freestyles from there...
Maybe we should try that. After all, we seem to be mediocre at best in the close-range department versus enemy MS. We can't rely on mid-range when our enemies have much better weapons at mid-range.

OFFER CHAR A SUIT FROM OUR STOCKPILE. If Ramba Ral can take down WB with a Dom, what could Char do?

>>8802414
Does that mean Jolyne can finally put her Muay Thai training to use?

We also still have to unleash our newtype potential so we need some way of doing that.

>>8802431

You fool! Tell him about the Act Zaku. These things are great!

>>8802414
>We can't rely on mid-range when our enemies have much better weapons at mid-range.
What? no we have superior mid range, our dom zooks blow holes in battleships. This is the gundam we're talking about here, its SUPOSED to out gun, move, and take more damage then everything else in the series

Lister is a GREAT shot and we have GREAT guns, he's also good at close combat the few times we've been in it (not alot of MS battles)

>>8802453
Char would have to go into Orbit, go to Pezun, get ANOTHER Act Zaku (of which there might not be another in suitable condition for combat.) and bring it BACK down to Earth.

>>8802347
>"Impromptu close combat maneouvers tend to be more accurate if you have it set up properly, but controlling the speed is difficult, and it can interfere with your AMBAC." He states.
>it can interfere with your AMBAC
Isn't that the targeting computer we've been fighting the entire war with in the off setting?

wasn't their some sort of mobile armour that can drop like a heatrod cage on a mobile suit and trap it? some fourlegged thingymabob i cant remember the name of ._.

>>8802497
The Adzam. Its kind of a piece of shit though. It was basically a testbed for the Minovsky Craft System. That weapon definitely does have some potential. Also, in space the Val Varo has something similar.

>>8802431
This is actually a really good idea, we have some spare units that must be better than a Zaku so if customised for Char would be better than his current unit.

We should tell him of our surprise that there are targeting computers in the zaku's.

>>8802496
No

>>8802496
Never mind. Google'd my way out of the paper bag & read about it. I was mistaken.

>>8802496

That's a good point.

We should ask Char if he knows about the coolers.

>>8802520
Our Doms are now Pezun Dowadges, which I think WE should keep. Primarily because they are t3h sex. We have the Gasshia and Gigan, but they aren't something Char would DO WORK in. If we could requisition Char an Efreet, Dom, or Gouf, it would go pretty well I think.

>>8802554

And before anyone asks, I'm referring to the cockpit coolers Zol discovered that can hold a sixpack and a few sandwiches.

Why not hand him our ActZaku once we get back to base? It will need to be repaired anyhow so why not custom it up for him while they are at it.

We got better suits for the next step of GIT DAT GENDUM.

In the Fat Uncle you reccomend the Act Zaku if he can get his hands on one.

"Thanks Lt Commander, but I think I'll stick with my old Zaku for a while yet, this model may be old, but it's still got 3 times the mobility of most suits. Besides, it's taken me this long to get it how I like it."

Ah well, that appears to be that.

The journey back where Garma has now set up camp is quick and uneventful. You see that Jolyne and Zolomon have made it back unharmed.

"Well, we were able to do some damage at least to the Trojan Horse." Garma comments as he greets the two of you.

You return to the new office that he's encamped in.

>>8802561
We have more suits then pilots too and one downage we'll never use. The gouf is probably going to be replaced with the act and jol is going to be using the geshia as the new doms have no artilery ability

We have some very strong suits no one is going to use, that's not counting out jaggers and older zakus.

We need to tell Garma about our plan to infiltrate the 101st SCREAMAN EAGLE zeonic paratroops onto whitebase

Can we modify the Act-Zaku into the Act-Gouf?

>>8802609
Good point, maybe we can get one rigged up as a secondary Arty/spotting version for Calvin?

>>8802704
>scout downage dom
>Artilery downage dom

While impossible, totaly awesome.

>>8802595
Any little bit of damage counts. Ask if we have a projected course for the Trojan Horse, and if there are any good ambush locations along it.

>>8802682
Why would we want to? The Act Zaku is the testbed for the Gelgoog. It's a much better MS than the Gouf. And besides, you can't convert a Zaku to a Gouf. Different MS.

>>8802676

You bring up the concept of using infantry to take over the ship to Garma. He seems interested, but ultimately he says they don't have enough Wappa's or Jetpacks in the inventory to mount an infantry assault with a decent chance of success.
Possibly if they can ground the Trojan Horse, then it might be possible.

"In any case gentlemen, there's another mission I need you to deal with whilst myself and Char discuss other ideas on how to deal with the Trojan Horse..."

>>8802755
Leaving Garma and Char alone with each other? Fffffffffffff-

What is it? And seriously, giving us anything but the Trojan Horse with our current suit loadout is probably overkill.

Maybe we should try to leave someone from our team behind unless we *Really* need everyone. Keep an eye on things (and Garma safe).

>>8802778

Unless it's Costa Rica all over again.

>>8802595
Hey Apologized, what are the chances of getting one of the Downages to equip some artillery cannons like the ones the Zaku Cannons use? Or maybe some arms/wrist-mounted rockets? And maybe a shoulder rocket launcher?

>>8802843
A Pezun Dowadge Cannon would be sweet, but probably not super likely. Although Ookawara could possibly pull some magic, I wouldn't count on it.

>>8802755
WE MUST BRING DOWN WHITEBASE>


I TOLD YOU FUCKS WE SHOULD HAVE SACRIFICED ARE ATLEAST TRIED TO TAKE OUT THAT ENGINE

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE PILOTS ARE SOOOO IMPORTANT

Wining the war is important. If it takes our lives to do it so be it. Without White Base the feds loose the way its no way around it. No more propaganda, no crazy ace pilot like amuro fucking our shit up. no garma crashing and burning

>>8802843

My guess would be pretty low. They're incredibly highly tuned machines. Anyways, it has a fully fuctional Gogg-style beam cannon in the chest rather than a scatter gun, I think that'll do for heavy firepower. That and a 10 round 330mm bazooka. It really doesn't NEED cannons.

>>8802755

Do ask him not to waste too many resources on that single battleship though. Better to win the war than to capture a single ship.

>>8802899
You're the kind of retarded that lead to Zeon wasting a ridiculous amount of resources on White Base.

>>8802904
Better to keep white base at a distance until we get beam weapons. As hax as their massive lunar titanium is, beam weapons are worse. Until we have firepower that has a reasonable chance of doing some damage, its best just to keep amuro from eating all the experienced pilots that zeon has.

>>8802899
See:
>>8802904

The White Base was only as important as it was because Zeon threw a ridiculous number of forces at them in a trickle pattern, and WB ate them alive. If we treat it differently, it automatically isn't as important.

"As you know, our forces are beginning to reach breaking point here in the Americas, and our fragile stalemate in the North is one we've clung onto through out technological advantage alone. Now however, the Federation have begun an assault to breach that balance. A federation force is attempting to break our lines by mounting an assault on Edmonton in British Columbia. As you know whilst our forces hold control over Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, the Federation have proven impossible to shift from the Northern Territories, and a small group of Submarines patrol the Hudson Bay. Our forces in Alaska and Southern canada are able to work together because they control the Candaian Route 43 road. The enemy is seeking to cut that line from us by taking Edmonton."

>Without White Base the feds loose the way its no way around it.

Haha, not really. They can build more of these, they do in fact are in the process of building more. One loss ain't that much, really.
What we did prevent is having it take out a huge chunk of our forces and kill a bunch of our good soldiers up to now. That's phenomenal.

>>8802899
And this is why Zeon had no good pilots by the end of the war.

>>8802899
Zeon lost the war because of limited resources, mismanagement of those resources, and infighting. White Base served only to eat up ace pilots as they attacked in limited monster-of-the-week numbers. In the grand scheme of this war it is still only one ship that accomplished few actual military objectives.

Wasting our lives against a single ship when they would be better used elsewhere is fool-hardy at best. Instead of dieing to kill White Base and Amuro, which would do almost nothing to the Federation juggernaut, we should figure out how to save Odessa and break Jaburo open.

Also White Base didn't kill Garma, Char killed Garma. Blame the misfortune of your birth.

>>8802899
Except that White Base did almost nothing of tactical or strategic importance in the war except possibly being the rallying point for the assault on A Baoa Qu. It's just one ship, it can't do anything on its own.

So defend Edmonton?

>>8802957

Fuck yeah going to Canada. Lets shock n AWE those feddie scum with our new toys.

What are the odds of us running into Ground GM/Gundams/MP Guntanks? No matter, all shall fall before our might.

>>8802984
I do believe we have beat the horse to death. If he does it again, pretty sure he's trollan.

Anyway, what's this assignment?

>>8802957
Oh joy! Defending a City from a large, and potentially very advanced Fed Assault!

Didn't we just leave that party? XP

How are we getting there, what's our support, and what are we up against?

"I see sir, what kind of forces are the Federation throwing at Edmonton." you ask Garma.

"3 Battalions of Tanks, 5 Squadrons of Enemy Fighters roughly 1 Battalion of Mechanised Infantry, and at least 2 squads of Mobile Suits. It's that last item which is why were sending you in. The enemy mobile suit units have gotten quite adept at breaching our lines which allows enemy tanks to pass through and force a retreat. We want your unit to put an end to it."

You ask about transportation.

"Three Fat Uncle transports are on the landing area waiting for you, you can either directly transport yourself to Edmonton directly from here or take a detour to California first, it shouldn't add TOO much onto your flight time. I am loath to send you out at this time, but the generals in the North are having all kinds of trouble dealing with these enemy mobile suits, which is a worrying omen if ever I heard one..."

YOUR ORDERS?

Well, in the canon the GM's are still about two months away from mass production and since we destroyed the first and second GM teams and a couple [G] Gundams, I would imagine that the GM is still in intial low rate production, but I think we stand a good chance of running into some.

Is there any friendly units in Edmonton or are we doing this gig alone?

Otherwise load up or Dowdages, Doms, Flipper and Gouf. Leave the ActZaku for repairs. Bring the Mobile Armour I guess.

...Tempting to leave someone behind to watch Garmas ass and pull him out of the fire if needed. But who?

>>8803060

We should totally say that in character. We did just leave that party.

load everyone up, get to California to pickup extra supplies then head to Edmonton.

>>8803067
Remind Garma that he shouldn't get too caught up going after the White Base. It is only one ship after all, even if Char REALLY wants to kill it dead. Always look at the bigger picture of the war.

We should take our favorite suits up north via Fat Uncle and lure these enemy mobile suits into a trap behind our lines. With so many breaks in our lines they are probably getting overconfident.

Having the Zanzibar Kai with us would be nice but time is always of the essence during the One Year War.

>>8803067
Alright. Well, it's really cold up north, right? I might be beating a dead horse, but if it's cold enough than the Zock's beam weapons might actually be able to cool down fast enough to be effective. If not, than I don't see any reason to go to California.

>>8803177
Our Dowdages already have very effective beam weaponry that works on land, no need to drag that fat aquatic suit with us. Especially not against GMs.

>>8803067
Well, we don't really need to stop by Cali. We have plenty of good suits as it is. I say we deploy to Edmonton immediately in order to facilitate Feddie Rape.

Tell Garma to be CAREFUL when it comes to the Trojan Horse. And tell him to forward our treatise on MS-MS warfare to EVERY General officer in the Principality.

>Is there any friendly units in Edmonton or are we doing this gig alone?

No, In total there are 6 whole battalions stationed up in the north, more than an entire division in fact. Although a fair amount of it is reinforcements built in California and New York.
Your mission isn't so much to save Edmonton as it is to kill the enemy MS teams.

>Otherwise load up or Dowdages

Is that a good idea? We did not have time to familiarize ourselfs with that suit. Aka none of us knows that it's gonna slow down for a few seconds after shooting the beam gun. It's nice having new toys and all, but we're not in a situation where we could afford to not even know the capabilities and limits of our own machines.

>>8803240
An excellent use of our abilities. We can also go battleship hunting while we're there.

>>8803240

Then let's kill some MS teams.

Can Zol get a new gatling shield?

>>8803240
Sounds good. What kind of battalions? Tank, Infantry or MS?

Also, head straight there, Dowdages and Flipper and Rhino and Gouf in tow.

>>8803242
No better time to learn than in some live fire practice!

Would you rather we tried it out against the Gundam? It's not like the Feddies will be using less mobile suits from now on.

>>8803240

OH OH, don't forget the Gigan! We need AA, seriously! Planes of one sort or another are always messing with out plans! Take the AA suit!

Oh yeah, bring the fucking Gigan. Time to get that thing revved up and clear the skies of the Feddie aircover. Then it's mano-o-mano between our mobile suit forces.
