I hope this will help us stay a bit more on-topic going forward. The anime is not the game. It's not like the game. It's different than the game. It shares the same names and character designs but isn't the game. Get it? Got it? Good. Now let's discuss the anime (or not), because I really don't need to keep hearing about the game in the anime threads to this degree. If you do compare with past/till-present game content for relevant on-topic reasons, you must do it inside spoiler tags, as per the Spoiler Policy's limited permitted exception for comparisons.
People that want to complain and compare about the changes shouldn't forget this wonderful thread~

I don't even want to quote (from the passage) that Russia lost most of a 120-tank brigade within hours against Chechen rebels, or the famous M1A1 got nailed by Iraqi by just one shot. Armoured units in urban warfare are, in most cases, canned food and turned to junk minutes later.
I'm not saying Welkin is incapable to command Edelweiss well, but odds are odds.
We found that the tank is a very effective weapon, if used correctly," said Capt. Carlos Gomez, project rifleman OIC with Project Metropolis, an adjunct of the war-fighting laboratory specializing in urban combat.

"You must combine dismounts with the tanks themselves," Gomez said. "The infantry provides protection, but if you don't train to do it, it's not effective."




Not to mention that is 21st century combat, we are talking about 20th century combat where they don't have IED's or suicide bombers.

That and Squad 7 would use Edelweiss as the rallying point, hence, protecting it from anti-tank units.

Dammmm must resist videooooooooooooo spoiler of sceneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I enjoy this eppppppppppppppppppppppp

That scene will come in the next episode? How, where and why? That 'scene' can no longer come in the next episode due to the simple fact that the producers had fucked it up and lost their chance to do it. There is no guarantee, because it can no longer be done under current circumstances. Aren't you being more of a bigot by even trying to suggest a guarantee? Give me a break!

What you are forgetting is that Gallian Chronicles is an alternative telling of WWII where advanced rocketry and missile weapons were unavailable at the time. Indeed, the Edelweiss in the game can withstand many barrages before succumbing to damage. Since the Edelweiss was modeled after the German heavy tanks, its role would have been perfect for defensive operations, urban or otherwise, just as how German Tigers were utilized. In fact, in the battle for Berlin, legends recall that two lone Tiger tanks protected the Reichstag, halting Soviet advances for hours until their ammo was utterly spent.

That's assuming the commanders know what they're doing though. Tigers are so hard to kill is because of their extreme armour on almost all sides, and while it made them hard to use, they're almost equal to unkillable bunkers against enemy armour units. Against troops among the ruins, it's not really the case. Infantry protection aside, Edelweiss doesn't have AP weapons on its own IIRC, and even it has it's simply hard to wield in urban environment------In Black Hawn Down the MG gunners on the Hummers are almost the first target of the gureilla, even more than the Hummer itself.
Especially when Edelweiss' power generator is exposed from the back, it's just way too vulnerable to use it in an hostile-full environment.

And while they don't actually have missiles or advanced rockets, aren't Lances also man-protable and thus can still setup ambushes?

While 7th may have plot armour made up for their survival, in a tactical sense it's not really that beneficial to bring up their tank when there're (at least from what they knew) no enemies'.

Edelweiss is equipped with machinegun hard points and a mortar launcher. None of which require the operator to be exposed to fire.

And Welkin is not seasoned enough? Of course, its debatable in the anime, but...

Try telling frustrated Allied commanders that in WWII that, where their push had often been halted by German panzers in defensive positions. That is, despite having towns or villages being bombarded into nothing more than a pile of ex-construction material, Tiger tanks still ambushed the crap out of them. In fact, in many cases, it only made German efforts much easier.

Of course they are, exposed made them easy targets. This would not be the right comparison at all. I don't know what you are getting at.

Never mind the fact that in the planning stage, the mission warranted tanks! They simply weren't provided due to political concerns!

And please, don't quote Russian tank tactics. Generally speaking, their strategy is just that, general.

You are fully aware that the General William F. Garrison had originally requested armored vehicles for the operation right? Washington refused and wanted to keep it low-profile so he was stuck with humvees which are not ideal for that kind of fighting.

Yeah that's why they have infantry detachments to protect the tank. These problems have always existed and there are tactics to deal with. In fact that article which you quoted and obviously did not read specifcally stated that combined arms was very effective in urban combat (Tank plus dismounted infantry).

Though shooting with one hand and using the windshield to steady the rilfe I dont' think is that misconstrued but really where did he just pop out?

Last time I checked, the guy was under arrest. Unless he escaped. Now, the question is how?

Of course, if the person guarding him was a woman, well... we can probably figure out the rest.

If you are still too stuborn to accept the reasons why he has been pardoned it cannot be helped but it is as it is. end of the discussion.

The sad thing in this episode is really about Jaeger. I really miss the game ending of him. But if he died, he died with a smile and without washing his hands in blood of innocents.

I found a nice article regarding U.S. doctrines with tanks and there is also a part regarding tanks in urban fights: http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/c..._doctrine.html

There is no good reason to Cordelia for pardon him. he deadly shot one of his camarade and take the princess as hostage.

In any army, for doing this, he will be executed, there is no other possibility.

By pardoning him, Cordelia only show she is a weak Princess and she is unable to punish a terrorist.


this element of the plot of the anime is just bad.

So, saying that seems like you have been in military, right? Give me an example where one army men shot another comrade and where he was executed. I say that there are no such examples in modern european or american army. Moreover they are put into military jail and after time of military service he sits the rest in a civil jail. But executions are prohibited by the humanitarian rights and by country laws. except for some american states but I very doubt that a states law is over a military law.

Anyhow. The results ended up not in a death of a soldier but in awakening valkyria. this prevented not only severe casualties on the Gallian military force but also halted the invasion of the imps again.

If there are still any points what speaks against his pardon then it is Alicia to decide as she is the victim. So did she say any words? No? Then we can stop the discussion here.

Does that thing even have a windshield? How do you know he used the windshield? I think he just popped him with one hand without even aiming.

Jeeps regularly have flexible windshields. But as Faldio did it it is quite impossible if he has not something that stabilizes his sniper rifle. At least he can be glad that the road is not rough. If it was then his shoulder bones would be broken from the shaking.

How has he fallen?
He saved Welkin.
He saved Alicia.
He save everyone by shooting Alicia to awaken her powers.
He gave great speeches that brought the units morale up.

How has he fallen?
He is the king of heroes!
