Generally a much better episode than the previous few, although the first 10 minutes or so could have done with fewer "offended & surprised" faces from Yuuya.
Poor Jacob, he forgot that he pilots a TSF that can operate on three axes, and got eaten because he forgot about "up".
The depiction of the railgun has been inconsistent though. Sometimes it is called a railgun, and sometimes a "radiation cannon", which would seem to indicate an energy weapon. The graphics appear to show a constant beam, but the 99 also appears to be belt-fed and it is stated it has a rate of fire. In the end, not that big a deal I guess. But I do have to say it was nice a detail to see Yuuya firing it from the ground, with the Shiranui's thrusters on full to counteract the recoil of the 99.
