Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?

GD has quite a different foot design compared to other Zeon's hovering MS:

Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?

I don't know where you get that info, but R-1A is a space unit that its thermonuclear rockets requires
from MAHQ:
"the MS-06GD could hover over the ground thanks to the high mobility leg thrusters from the MS-06R-1A Zaku II R-1A."

Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?

Since it seems to use the same rocket engine as R1-A, the GD's hovering time should be far less than Dom. The cartridge only solve the refueling time at the resupply place though, which should be more troublesome on MS operating on Earth than in space.

Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?

Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G? Since GD seems to use MS-06R1-A thrusters that were known to be gas guzzler; won't it have relatively short hovering time on Earth?

Re: Does Rezel have reactor in its leg?

After searching around: https://mechatalk.net/viewtopic.php?t=14731 so it can be assumed that Rezel may have main reactors in its legs like ZII that it is based on? However judging from the exploding in colony screen in Unicorn it seems to have reactor in upper torso, and judging from MG model it lo...

Re: Why the Guntank's tracks look like that?

Also, maybe you guys should consider moving to Thailand.

Re: Least Powerful/ Weakest Gundams?

Given that GM III inherits MkII's backpack and Barzam Kai is basically Barzam + MkII fusion, MkII is quite underrated.

Re: Mobile Suit jumping and landing on earth

IIRC in 0079 even stock Zaku II can make a quick repetitive 18 meters hop without any rocket assist. And for Char's Zaku during the Garma death fight it can jump very far, very high and very fast without rocket assist too.

Re: Gundam foils and the drive to heroism

At Dublin the fed itself didn't do anything, and many in its rank actually like the idea of wipping out the population there too according to the anime.

What's the stuff on the upper half of Gyan Kreiger's backpack?

What're the green square and round thing on the upper half of Gyan Kreiger's backpack? They don't look like thrusters. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/2c/bf ... 3a4533.jpg

Re: How well can the Gyan operate on the ground?

One thing I wonder about Gyan design is that why is there no thruster under its skirt and ankle armor. That would help a lot for jumping and may even allow hovering. HG Gyan Kreiger does have skirt thrusters and calf thrusters.

Re: How well can the Gyan operate on the ground?

I doubt if it sorties on its own Gyan won't be equipped with a machinegun or bazooka. For beam projectile Gyan Eos is equipped with beam gun on its beam bayonet, and in video game Gyan Kreiger has beam gun under its shield. With shorter sensor radias Gyan is still inferior to Gelgoog in ranged comba...
