Still for some reason I still lean towards backing Yuuya even though as you said they're both just being pot and kettle, so eh.

It's doesn't work that way in the Philippines. One whole year of Citizen's Army Training and it all becomes forgotten after that. Besides, all it does was to expose who will abuse their power early on.

http://zsobig.hubpages.com/hub/the-mystery-of-genetics I also would like to add that skin color is believed to be determined by seven different genes. If a woman or a man is of a mixed race, their genes contain a mixture of black and white traits. When they come together, they will have a mixed-race baby. But occassionally the egg or the sperm can contain genes coding for only one color. If two come together that contain the same color - for example an egg with white and a sperm with also white coding - the child will have a different skin color than their parents - in our example that would result in a white child of black parents A DNA test would reduce ambiguity.

That's like flying a harrier and complaining that it can't go supersonic so therefore it sucks, while completely overlooking its ability to hover or be used on smaller carriers for close air support. For someone being called an ace, you would think they would try and learn whatever it is they are trying to fly rather than complain about it sucking and having no good points. Incidentally, he admits this on his own, but he is too proud to admit it to Yui, who takes his words at face value. In addition, his feedback for the upcoming test machine would be nearly useless if he can't test the machine in the way it was meant to be used.

RL Harrier or RL F-35 VTOL could hover just on top of BETA Tank and under 100 meters and gun down a BETA Tank's rear end. RL A-10 Thunderbolt with VTOL would be nice. Last edited by encia; 2012-07-24 at 01:01. |

If only I could serve my country by working in the defense industry making millions in safety. But I digress, back on topic: I except our lead to fall in love with Yui in true Top Gun style. Its going to happen, just you wait and see. She'll make him into a proper Japanese man wiether he likes it or not (and she'll make him like it) Last edited by bigdeath; 2012-07-24 at 00:42. |

The Sun didn't offer to pay to test the kid and both parents either. They just ran the story.

Bah, too much to follow in one general thread. I'm so lost with all the multiple topics of discussion.
Well, outside of Mr. Playboy with Ms. Sweden (or Yuuya + Russian Imouto for the lolicon inclined), there really isn't anything else to ship so far. I expect Russian Oneesan to come into the triangle though. Maybe not next episode (looks to be Yui-focused), but I can just see it soon after.

Simple matter, is that machines improve and the combat doctrine changes with it. To stick to old and outdated methods of combat and fighting has doomed many military's to failure though out history. How many army's were still running calvary charges with the advent of the machine gun? Still plenty and looked what happen to them. Just no modern Military uses the F-4 in the world. They use 3rd and 4th gen fighters from Euro, Russian or American. Weapon manipulation, increased efficiency and new methods of deployment should the the item of the day. (I'm starting to sound like Travis Haley) Not running some outdated machine clinging to some nationalistic and outdated way of fighting. I will give that we have not see US Doctrine in battle against the BETA so their is no real comparison at this point. We have seen Japanese Doctrine and it does not fare so well. There are always new ways and new methods to be found when it comes to fighting. An edge should ways be expolited. If a 3rd or 4th gen TSF has those advantages, you would be stupid to rely on older outdate machinery unless your fighting with the Soviet of Quantity vs Quality. But in this case the BETA have the latter on anything else so Humanity has to focus should be the Quality of its pilots, training and Machinery. "That's how dad did it, that's how America does it! And its work pretty well for us so far". -T.S. PS: Although YuixYuuya is probably in the mix. I like Stella better... |

It's the same when he was blaming the TSF spec, yes he is not used to it (even Yui concede the point) but the problem is his attitude, when i am driving a car which i am not used to, i am going to be extra carefull and take it slowly, his reaction ? full throttle full ahead. I also have to disagree with you on Yuuya rationality, yea he's pretty rational except when you talk about japan or his origin. So yea Yui is pushing his buttons hard but Yuuya is also busy baiting her, i am amazed as how Yuuya nearly got a free pass for this. |

No. The trainees died because there were more BETAs than they expected. Plus the trainees were clueless (OMG THE BETAs EAT PEOPLE!! NOM NOM NOM). It's not entirely because the machine did not do well but the pilot themselves weren't in a very good situation. Stop saying "hey your comrades all die and therefore Yuuya's assessment is correct". Hell, the machine that came and save Yui. What machine was that from? Did you see how it just made lunch meat out of those BETAs? That's pretty awesome!
Also this isn't a problem between Yuuya and his boss at work. It's a problem between Yuuya and his superior officer in the MILITARY. Man, if the military was as lenient towards him as Yui was, I'm sure many people would be happy. It's like you're a sniper that is surrounded by the enemy... and you die while blaming that the sniper rifer sucks and that it should have been fully automatic so you can blast those suckers. You were just in a bad situation. It's not the fault of the weapon.

I don't think anyone thinks it's completely the machine's fault that the trainees died just that "They're handling it fine" is simply not a good argument considering the results, maybe it's not the machine's fault or maybe if you put a different machine in its place things would be different but the thing is we don't know
The only way the handling fine argument would work if they survived plus we only know what happened with Yui's team and not the whole overall situation. And you talking about the Takemi? don't think it's exactly fair to compare that with the Fubuki. Also is it just me who find it ridiculous that in order to pilot a mecha well you need to understand an entire culture just because it's made there? |
