Hello, class. I am Professor Funkenstein and I would like to give you a basic rundown of tactics and corabat as it pertains to the Gundam 00 universe. Let us begin, ya?
There are a nuraber of different aspects to consider in warfare, but I believe there are 5 that are most important
Soldiers and manpower. Basically, the more soldiers you have on the battlefield, the more likely you are to succeedWeaponry. The more advanced and efficient the weapons your soldiers wield, the more effective they are in battle.Infantry skill. The more well versed your soldiers are in corabat, the better.Intellegence. This is a major factor. Intelligence involves knowing your enemies strengths and weakness, knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, as well as knowing of the terrain, the climate, etcThe most important factor: strategy and tactics. This is a culmination of the first 4. A good tactician can use all of the previously named resources and use it to thier advantage, playing on their strengths and playing down thier weaknesses and vice versa of thier enemy's forces.Now, to look at this season thusfar, Celestial Being and the Gundams have been largely successful mainly because of thier focusing thier strengths to compensate for thier weaknesses: Though there were only four Gundams, the Gundams were far superior than any other mechs on the scene, the pilots are quite skillful, they have a vast intellegence network and rely on the forcasting and strategies of Sumeragi L. Noriega. All of these have given them an edge and have so far allowed them to be unmatched in corabat. The only times where they've run into trouble have been when they've met the "aces" of thier enemies (#3) or have met a force backed by the tactics of a rival strategist (#5).
In the past two eps, however, the Gundams were totally and utterly pwned, as you young folk would say. Though the enemy had always had more forces than the Gundams, they used it to thier advantage, overwhelming the gundams with force and nurabers. The Alliance also put thier aces in the forefront, bringing thier skill onto the table. Though they were at a technological disadvantage, by focusing on thier strengths, the tri-bloc alliance almost got what they wanted.
Now, any comments?
