In terms of fire rate, GG-120 seems to like shotgun type weapon i.e. the upper barrel. This seems to be 120 mm. America seems to be fine with ammo bias TSFs. The speed of American TSFs may able the their TSFs to quickly resupply from their local aircraft carrier i.e. hit (at long range)-and-run(re-supply) tactics.

Just because it's basic doesn't mean anyone could have easily taken out all those TSFs in quick succession. Don't forget that her TSF is meant for fighting BETA not wiping out other TSF's. It is Japanese after all.

Look at those girls from the first two episodes. Yui and her rival performed fine but the rest was pretty meh and yet they've got imperial guard TSFs. The system is inherently flawed because even if they eventually reject those which can't match the performance requirements it still favors people on the base of "noble birth". |

I'm definitely with Yuuya on this. I could understand the design philosophy if you were creating a duel mech going against limited numbers. However why in god's name would you design a mech that only very few people could pilot in a world where the population is getting horribly slashed off? Not to mention the number of Japanese who could pilot the damn thing anyway are so cut in number that my guess is any invasion force will be composed primarily of Americans. So why not design it so Americans can use it. Not to mention Yui apparently being antagonistic just for the hell of it.

So although it's true that in the "real world" it would be ludicrous to create a machine that is difficult to fly, especially when most of your veteran pilots have been killed, in the Muv Luv world, where it's fast becoming all about the "super pilots", it makes sense to build a machine that only the "chosen" can use effectively. Basically, Total Eclipse has the veneer of seriousness, but really the only thing that separates this series from being a Gundam Age is the fan service and the gore.

Let me be honest. I've never watched a more lackluster 1 on 1 mech battle in my life. Yui's trainee battle with her deceased rival was more entertaining than this. Watching a soldier machine-gunning a BETA and die horribly would be more entertaining than this. Wow. WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF A TAKEMIKAZUCHI. Oh my god Yui; my respect for you has just fallen by a million degrees. How can you treat her like that?? How can you treat such a beautiful, elegant, strongest Japanese TSF - AHH MY EYES! MY BRAIN! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Frankly it doesn't make much sense that Yui could one-shot Tarisa, Stella and VG, Even supposing she's an ace pilot and even considering the Takemikazuchi that was a bit too much, but I guess the time constraints of an anime called for that...
It becomes even more difficult to accept when you see Yuuya standing his ground against Yui even thought until that point his performances were always inferior to the other three against Beta and in the first mock battle they didn't seem much below his level, not even VG who had the same machine. It's obvious that Yui decided to go easy on Yuuya, but why would she go as far as to let him disarm her? I guess that's supposed to be an unexpected sudden surge of superhuman skills from Yuuya's part, but that seems a bit fortuitous when you consider what Yui just did to the other three. Regarding the conflicting warrior and soldier philosophies, I think it shouldn't even be argued which is right. Yuuya is absolutely right, there's no point in a machine that can only be piloted by veterans, you don't fight wars with veterans alone, especially wars when pilots keep dying like flies and you need to resort to teenagers to replace them. I wonder if Yui realized the fact that she is the only survivor of her whole class and that maybe it's not a coincidence that only an Ace pilot survived on a TSF designed for Ace pilots. The irony of this is that they could have it both ways, with easy to pilot TSFs for the grunts and elite-oriented TSFs for the samurai and noble class, since they are already piloting different machines. I know americans in Muv Luv are often accused to favor combat from the long distance and to prefer destructive actions from afar rather than going straight into the battlefield, but frankly in my opinion killing your enemy while staying out of harm's way is the number one strategical advance one should achieve whenever it's possible. Elite training goes way below that, after numerical superiority (which isn't an option agaisnt Beta though).
