It's Bandai's policy that only the animated shows are official. And for good reason too, since the novels tend to contradict the parent works so much.

Tomino didn't have full creative control over Victory.

Acceleration doesn't mean much in close range if you cannot change direction quickly, and in order to do that, you need pilot's quick reflexes, and the MS/MA itself to be designed for "all direction" movement. Most MS in V2's era like Psychoframe, as far as I know, so it's all up to the MS's ability and pilot's reflex. What I am saying was I doubt Usso can become even faster, since he's still limited by how his body can take the sudden increase in G. I guess I am saying that I think they kind of hit the wall in terms of MS movement to human control already, so unless they move to psychoframe like technology, MS combat movement at about its maximum potential.

You don't seem to understand that in space, acceleration = maneuverability. There is no such thing as better "close range movement" since superior acceleration absolutely means that you can change direction more quickly (or more accurately, change your vectors and velocity more quickly).

Is that really the best you can do?

I don't think of it as bad per say - just bad execution (Shinn's character development just sucks near the end - Shinn never seems to mature, while for Camille, at least he seems tolerable to people by the end of the series.)

That's pretty much missing the forest for the trees.
