-Where the defenders were drawn out leaving the base vulnerable -using grapler and destroyer class beta for short skirmishes to kill as much units as possible and learning chain of command -And finally counter attacking when your enemy shows its back a truly well played sequence. if your an officer in training you'd get a grade of A for assault

With a limitless army the size of giants who needs strategy? All they have to do is fall on the humans that can't defend such a huge defense line and eventually they'll just cut through, surround, and destroy.

Strategically, not all Hives have Lasers nor do they make wide front assaults. Else Kamchatka would have been overrun already. In Ep 2 the invasion force also had far more resources than the current one. They are really more like a giant hammer overall than anything.

- Takemikazuchi is at Alaska's Base. (She went there as a member of the command group) - 99 Second is under maintenance - How to "cut the cannon in half"? she said the core parts had heat resistance (thus nullifying the use of conventional means of "industrial" cutting) and that soldier that stayed back also told her he would need more time to dismantle the parts she requested. Again, im assuming things, from what i remember (im at work) |

They show up enough that dedicated Wild Weasel squadrons exist to hunt them down; cf Shwarzesmarken. It's been repeatedly mentioned throughout the Kamchatka arc that the lack of Laser-class is odd, but nobody is going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
That said, IIRC Laser deployment is prioritised to protect the hives first, and escort BETA waves second. Also, while some dismiss the BETA assaults as a Zerg Rush... this is a Zerg Rush with Ultralisks. Or Mammoth Tanks.

Good Episode with Yui-hime in center spot but I can't take this total eclipse seriously with those lame beta fight. No laser class? and a small horde..... maybe I've been taken much with the games battle and specially that the guy there is also a newbie and his first fight is intense compare to this battle.... the BETA battle for me was a meh!
The only good thing to look for is Yui and more Yui and also how to screw the soviet soldiers. I was also accustomed that a certain powerful country is the one who always do the screwing so its funny when the said country is being left in the rear line

I'll paste a theory I came up with and posted somewhere else.
Context reminder: Game-changing weapon prototype was given to the small time princess UN officer to test in the Russian frontlines. That weapon belongs to the Japanese Imperial Army, NOT the UN Army. Thoughts and Clues: - The Japanese Goverment agreed that the trials took place at Kamchatka (EP8). "Why" can be either a plot-hole or a plot-point. This is fishy. Yui, as a developer, was against this. What do they gain by taking this big risk? - BETA attacked from underground not too long ago. Soviets should have filled those holes, but didn’t. That's why this new attack was unnoticed due to the lack of tremors. How did they time the BETA invasion that well (while the whole flight was testing) is a big mystery here. I hope it will be addressed in the following episode, because the fact that you can't predict BETA behavior is a core concept in MuvLuv. - They hid the information about the last attack from the Argos flight and all this implies that they knew that Takamura was bringing the Imperial Army prototype cannon to their base a long time ago. - Now who leaked that info? Cryska/Inia/Yuuya being Russian spies is an previously discarded nonsense. Then, what if someone from the inside Imperial Army wanted the trials to go wrong? We only know Takamura's uncle (Iwata). He's a high ranking official in the Imperial Army Ministry of Technology. If I remember correctly, he was the one that encouraged Yui to take on this task. How involved is him on this ploy? If it wasn’t him, then who? - And finally, a big clue: The PROMINENCE project leader asked for all the Argos flight to be deployed for this test. That puts him on a bad light because it is now extremely convenient for the Russians that the Shirnaui 2nd is too far from the base. This is what leaves no other option but to leave the weapon there. In the end, it seems that UN higher ups don’t want Japan to get so strong and are working along the Russians and someone from the Imperial Army for this. Arghos flight is just a pawn and knew nothing (this includes Dhal/Kiritsugu). Latrova's unit seems to be the Russian's sacrifice for this to work out. If this is true, I wonder what is going through that woman's head right now? What will Latrova do next week after talking about being blind to the big picture? |

Fuck yea. This is what I wanted. Mechs, Action and Politics and we are starting to get that in full force now. Pretty solid episode, and given the circumstances, I can totally understand why people are acting like assholes to each other. It's war you see .
Unfortunately, it is somewhat hindered due to random boob/ass shots and "QUALITY" scenes from time to time. |

I had already read that and the guy speaks wonders about the anime.

Why do you think both Directors did a poor job with this arc? IMO it was pretty good, it felt very "MuvLuv". The new director worked on the last 2 episodes. |
