is good in dealing with various situations due to being equipped for long-mid-close range combat, and a solid defense, yet, her IS can still be outmatched by an IS that specializes in a certain field, for example: she has a nice sword, but it's nowhere near Yukihira, she has a nice gun, but Ugachi is definitely stronger, her water can act as a good shield, but Setsura and the AIC are much more suited for defending.

To be more accurate, the Aile Strike form is a high-mobility form., save that it has decent armor capability (most hi-maneuver units posses less armor in order to add mobility). Launcher loses mobility for ranged firepower and Sword gains close-combat ability and is the lightest unit, but lacks ranged abilities.
In the sense of <Mysterious Lady>, it's a very powerful IS with a lof or options, but is primarily a short- to middle-range unit with the weapons it possesses. Yes it has a gatling, but that's hardly the same as a sniper rifle, and definitely no BVR (Beyond Visual Range) weaponry. It could probably be beaten by <Blue Tears> or a <Rafale Revive> with sniping equipment from extreme range--eg not the ranges Cecillia snipes at, but true sniping ranges between 700-1400 meters or beyond. Actually, <Blue Tears> weapon is probably ideal against <Mysterious Lady> at range since it';s a particle beam weapon and thus has more power than a shell-based rifle...plus it will have a smaller deviance in firing (eg gravity will not affect its accuracy as much as a physical shell)

Ideally it'll be from an ambush position, because only a complete idiot would try to snipe someone who knows exactly where their position is. *coughcough*Cecillia*coughcough* Quote:

- ....baka.
IS Shields work differently from conventional armor. For conventional armor I woudl recommend a discarding sabot--eg a bullet that has a much smaller (usually tungsten) needle tip that penetrates armor by being propelled faster than the sabot it was jacketed in (See Discarding Sabot for a full explanation). Now this won't work on Is because the shield isn't a physical object but a form of energy. While the sabot will do damage, it probably won't be a lot, and will definitely not penetrate the shield to injure the person inside (which is the point of discarding sabot rounds in the first place). For IS shields, you really will have to chip away at it until the energy supply runs out. Anyone who's played Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram can probably think of the IS shielding much like the V-Armor used by Virtuaroids in that game: smaller or glancing shots will be deflected with little to no damage, it requires a direct and powerful hit to deplete said armor.

Do you think things like mini EMP's, Chaff grenades, and energy jammers would work on an IS unit shield? They are made of energy and/or electricity so they should be jammed at least temporarily right? |

Btw, she still has a beam canon akin to Setsura,
so let's not say she looses at range, basically I'm saying that Mysterious Lady (Destiny Gundam) has a nice sword, but against (Infinite Justice), who specializes in bladed weaponry, he got cut to pieces, and even if he has a big-ass canon, he still loses to (Strike Freedom) in ranged combat, I hope it's clear now. About her shields though, just her water shields (not counting the regular energy barrier an IS has, and definitely not counting the AB) she was able to completely negate Arachne's attacks, also, her water shields can be converted to attach power by using it in conjunction with the lance thingy. (The wiki's quite lacking in info eh?)

It's like comparign the GM's Beam Spray Gun against a GM Sniper's Beam Sniper Rifle. Both are powerful weapons, it's just that one tends to lose power and is less accurate at range, while the other is excellent at long, extreme ranges but not the best thing to use in close-in fighting. I would also say that (and no, it's not a bias) the only person using the full capabilities of her IS is Charlotte. And only because <Rafale Revive Custom II> uses relatively[ conventional weaponry and is a proven platform. Given what I know of the other machines, I'll have to level criticisms:

On another note, read the latter parts of my <Ren> fic, and you'll note that I mentioned smoke and possible gas grenades. I haven't seen them actually use the IS underwater or a true vacuum, so I'm not sure if that means the pilots still have to breathe normal air--but I am assumig they have to, as the shield only protects them from conventional/beam weapons, not smoke, tear gas, disease, etc. other agents. White Phosphorus would be particularly nasty, htough. To Cruel and unusal levels.

Do you think it's possible for a person to just break through the barrier? If a person assaults an IS head on and they manage to get close enough do you think the shield will still block a human body for trying to make contact? If that doesn't work I'll just have to use the jammer knife as a temporary disabler, the weakness being that getting close enough to stab the shield without the IS spotting you is nigh impossible by yourself Btw, thanks for giving me an idea Cecilia's gonna get a new stealth field |

I never really said it was good
for sniping, I was just using it to complete the SEED analogy, oh and another thing: Quote:
what happened in Volume 7, but didn't Houki jump to S-rank? Not only that, but mastering Kenran Butou and unlocking Ugachi, also being the only one by the end not in bandages or something?

The jammer knife is a jury rigged weapon unique only to Irish. even if it was mass produced it wouldn't be very popular as you have to be VERY stealthy to even get close to an IS with it's 360 degree vision Thankfully the Skull suit hides his heat signature from the IS pilot as long as they're distracted/don't know he's there.

You'd have to explain how the jammer knife works. Most IS have enough energy to power a jury-rigged weapon is that were the case. I think it would be more beievable to have aonce-off jamming unit not in the knife itself but in the area. Something that would prevent it from being used by other IS or even conventional weaponry.
