I dont know how much things will change during ep 5 before the hinted show-down, but I dont see Yui being out for Yuuya's blood. (Well, not unless he says something insanely stupid like "only reason BETA left Japan is because you tasted bad")
I dunno what's going to happen but for some reason, the kind of word that came to mind is "shidou" - as in "guidance" (not as in "bushido"). That is, I dont think Yui would go into such a fight with the aim of just beating Yuuya into submission for the sake of it but rather to make him learn or appreciate certain things. If that's true (and I tend to hope the real thing is more interesting and different to what I expect) then it wouldn't necessarily matter if she has a technical advance or disadvantage so long as that can be used to teach him.

I actually wonder why Yuuya's tactic qualifies as "teamwork" while Tarisa's doesn't.
In the end both tactics involved each fighting alone their own opponent. Sure, once Stella defeated Giacosa, by herself, she teamed up with Yuuya to defeat Tarisa. But that doesn't seem much more of a strategy than a matter of course. If it was Giacosa taking down Stella, or Tarisa taking down Yuuya, they would have teamed up against the remaining as well.

Contrast this with Tarisa's order to VG to go fight with Stella. Tarisa basically lost her wingman and was engaging Yuuya in a 1v1 fight, not realizing that Yuuya was playing it as a 2v1 fight with Stella in support. Of course the ending was a little ridiculous with Tarisa on top of Yuuya just sitting there gloating, but that's anime . . . Interestingly, Yuuya's plan has some parallel to the Thach Weave tactic PS - Did Stella actually "beat" VG? To me it looked like she set a decoy signal that stalled VG and let Stella come back to Yuuya and Tarisa. |

Yuuya would have told Stella of the situation during the one on one, and trusted her to be at the right place in time to pull supporting fire at Tarisa. Stella had to disengage from Giacosa, calculate the timing to do so such that she would have time to relocate into position while not giving him enough time to interfere, which means leaving the engagement at the last minute. As Giacosa did not get commentary from the CP that he was damaged and out of the fight, I think it would be best to assume that was just a thermal electric marker used as a decoy. Of cause, that raises the question of how such tech was developed, and why, since its useless against BETA. Unless its improvised.

Thermal, perhaps. Camo paint can't hide a heat sig, and the IRL Raptor can be detected by thermal imagers, and heatseekers at short range.
The Sodewinder snake sees in IR, as I recall, which is why the name inspired the missile.

but when she was screaming and shooting they just happen to stop and look at her and if it was ir then the solder class would of killed her right away it might be more simmiler to a bat with sonar . and if they move underground it would be extreamly ineffishent to have ir
bats sonar bounces supersonic noise off of objects to see where it is flying but than again it could be something compleatly different seeing as thier alain Spoiler for na:

If BETA cannot recognize humans as Intelligent beings, they cannot declare war and bring out the big guns. If they do recognize, they also have to recognize themselves as living beings. Its a catch 21.

At least the good news is, if such things exist, they're unlikely to be directed at Earth. Mainly because, people rarely send out military weaponry to deal with a bug problem... (Of course, that's because bug problems can be dealt with in other ways... )
