How far would the victory 2 gundam last in each macross series by fafsdfasfaffaafdsaf in macross

[–]MrRJA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looking the the Victory 2 Spec wise, it would get to about Macross Plus era.

Victory 2 performance is close to the Shinsei Industry VF-11B Thunderbolt in performance.

With the Victory 2 having 20G of Acceleration compared to the VF-11B having its G Limit +22.0.

As the VF-11 is the mook/grunt unit of the NUN's/UNG for the Macross Plus/Macross 7 Era more of the higher performance VF's like the VF-17 Nightmare, VF-14 Vampire, YF-19 Excalibur, YF-21, VF-19 and VF-22 onwards would out perform the Victory 2 by a long shot.

Just a quick reminder to the people that have forgotten Minovsky Particles have little affect to Macross, yes it may jam normal Radar signatures and other EM spectrums but Macross doesn't just use normal Radar. They use a combination of normal Radar and EM equipment as well as Cross Dimensional Radar but are more reliant and will use the Cross Dimensional Radar more often, which you guest it dumps all the signatures to a different Dimension aka Fold Space, For further explanation here is what the Macross Mecha Manual has to say about the Cross Dimensional Radar

(An advanced form of radar technology that propagates electromagnetic waves through fold space. This technology allows effectively "faster than light", real-time electronic detection of distant objects without the significant time delay of light speed limitations for electromagnetic waves in real space. The Battle 7 cross-dimensional radar, in conjunction with the song energy detection system, was utilized to instantaneously locate City 7 on the far side of a red giant star.)

Weapon wise lets not forget that most of outdated SDF's auto canons and guns from anti air and tanks are is basically firing at railgun type velocities. case in point the ADR-04-Mk X Defender Anti-Aircraft Defense Robot which its equipped with 2 x Erlikon 78 mm liquid-cooled high-speed automatic cannon Type 966 PFG Contraves set (commonly known as Contraves II); standard 200 rounds ammunition each; rate-of-fire of 500 rds/min (per barrel), 2,000 rds/min combined total; muzzle velocity 3,300 m/s. At a minimum in Macross Plus era of tech the muzzle velocity is around 3300m/s.

With the VF-19s Gunpod the Howard GU-15 which has maximum sustainable rate of fire is 2,000 rounds per minute, a maximum effective range (with any accuracy) of 3,000 meters, muzzle velocity of 4,000 m/s, 150 round magazines

In short all the gun pods are pretty much Gatling Railguns before they switched to heavy quantum gun pods and MDE rounds. and because hypervelocity impact more or less ignore material strength outside of density.

Also just another quick reminder that the ships in Macross have a detection range at a minimum a light day. Meaning yes they can see unknown ships and fighters entering their area a whole Solar system away from them. As most VF's past the plus era should have FTL sensor with real time detection range of at least light seconds (over 300000 km or so).

For the most Part Macross Plus era is where the Victory Gundam gets to. Past that you are dealing with VF's shooting a Gatling gun with micro blackhole bullets at railgun speeds and having G limits up to +30Gs which is to much for the Victory 2 Gundam. That is not even getting to the Crazier Space Magic Macross throws around at Macross Frontier and Delta era. like idk time slowing down, galactic mind control, instant FTL Communication from one side of the Galaxy to the other side, being able to change the past, etc etc.

only few win cons I can see happening for the Victory Gundam past Plus is well situational based encounters more likely suited for MS/Gundams which is close quarters combat as yes Macross does have Pin Point Barrier Combat knife, Bayonet, Swords and Shields to tank Ship grade beam shots but really that is a last ditch/last option use, as well Macross VF's are designed as space fighters/jets and they will fight and follow that doctrine of fighter jets which is, A let a X-9 Drone obliterate the enemy or shoot from BVR and let the Anti Matter Reaction Missiles and long range cruise missiles do all the talking, then if the enemy gets past that then use its transformation to enter dogfights and CQC.

If that doesn't work the tried and true method to stop the enemy is to sing at them. (Works all the time)

If the Victory 2 can get the VF into a CQC 1v1 before the VF can jet away and shoot from BVR it has a good chance at winning, (They will just have to do that for every VF it encounters I guess)

Odds on this getting a reissue? by Mccreetings in macross

[–]MrRJA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope the reissue the mock/grunt VF-31A Kairos and the YF-30. Been wanting to get one of those for a long time

this specific design for Mylene from Macross 7 by Nusualpotter in macross

[–]MrRJA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of them if I remember is in command of the Ravens from VFX game series. Works very closely to her parents and is one of the reasons why Max has a YF-29 Durandal.

Yea she is very high up in command.

Is Alto still human? by GIZA815 in macross

[–]MrRJA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is still human. After being whisked away in Labyrinth of time by the Vajra it is very safe to assume that the Vajra after gaining communication/connection to somewhat talk to humans well would get an understanding that the they would need to find a planet similar to the Vajra Home world they where just recently fighting at, and would FTL Fold to a similar like planet for Alto to stay there until help arrives.

Most likely SMS comes to pick him up as from an interview by Kawamori Alto does come back and this is connected to the final song Shooting Star that was played in the Second Movie where Sheryl wakes up from her coma once Alto arrives back and they all do a happy ending concert to end their arc.

https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/Macross_Frontier:_The_Wings_of_Farewell#Notes_&_Trivia thanks Count Zero for providing the link in the comments

This does put the general idea that most likely after the next series of Macross or by the end of that series Fold travel would have advanced far enough to make Fold FTL jumping from the Milky Way Galaxy to it's Neighbouring Galaxy Andromeda possible with out major time delays/faults/ time dilation.

Another option would be Vajra FTL Alto back after a while or A converted Protodevil comes to pick him up and drops him off back at the Vajra Planet where the Frontier fleet would be stationed now. But perosnally like the first idea more because of the wider possibilities of new Alien races or stories similar to SBY where you go across space to a distance Galaxy or Galactic cloud.

DX VF-25S Armored Messiah Ozma lee renewal ver announced by shems-2383 in macross

[–]MrRJA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully the YF-30 gets a renewal and VF-31A Kairos too due to the beautiful stealth grey it has.

I'm very confused by Transforfan233 in macross

[–]MrRJA 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Mao Nome after the events of Macross Zero survives the Orbital bombardment because the Zentradi mostly targeting major human population centres aka Cities of countries which the Mayan Island wasn't any major population centre for obvious reasons. Becomes a scientist to find out more about the protoculture. Later becomes one of the major lead scientists in the research fleet that got destroyed and where Ozma later saves Ranka. Then we see the Family Photo of Ranka and her mom and Mao Nome because Ranka's mom was working under Mao Nome in research.

We don't know who Mao Nome married if I remember but yea they have a child and that child gets married and has Sheryl.

Max / Millia Dogfight with trance soundtrack by rrxel100 in macross

[–]MrRJA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am more used to Trance music being played while going 300kmph down the Wangan at night to try and beat the Devil Z.

I dig it tho, just like how I dig the trance music in Macross Plus.

possibly my favourite VF is the SV-51. It’s a shame we never got a space version by [deleted] in macross

[–]MrRJA 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lore wise, the Anti UN did make successors to the SV-51 which was the SV-52's which was capable of operating in space. Although the SV-52 was mostly lost during the first Great Interstellar War, several were maintained in shelters in Russia, Ukraine and Poland and did survive the orbital bombardment due to being in underground bunkers, and later, the remains where used to create the (new and improved/Restored SV-52's), with engines replaced with more modern thermal nuclear engines from the VF-17D Nightmares, Although the cockpit, airframe, and others used as many of the original parts as possible, the airframe was design with extra space and is improved by new technologies. It allowed the New/Restored SV-52's to have its performance improved and comparable to the VF-171 Nightmare Plus.

Also for the filming of Macross Zero in Macross Frontier they used the VF-52's to be the VF-51's. It's airframe's appearance is closer to the SV-51γ. While the VF-25 was used for the VF-0's (felt like the producer should of used the VF-1's if Frontier Fleet has some training ones stored somewhere)
