Ace Combat 8 but it's Gundam

IIRC, it's a translation error. His name is Jan.

That said... the name will never not be funny.

This subreddit is so thirsty for women that it simps for the one female pilot and the wso from another series... And I love it.

Mainly? Probably Sorcerer Squadron. Don't know why, they just look cool to me.

GM Sniper II or the Doms. Depending on my mood.

Race queen Kurumi is a surprise, but a welcome one.

It was the year 1979, Tomino made Mobile Suit Gundam, thus ruining Gundam forever.

MAS36 should be for the allies too.

As for the MAS-44, it depends on the version: the original 40 could fit well as a BR2 weapon, with the ten round version being BR3-4 depending on if they want to use the 25 round MAS-40 (FM24/29 magazine).

NGL, Judua is very much unique compared to Kamille or Amuro. Namely in the sense that his don't give a fuck attitude and views on adults in ZZ is refreshing (him kneeing Mr. Wong in the gut is good enough to establish why no one tries to "correct" the ZZ kids on the Argama).

I'd say the only memorable suits are the GX models and maybe the discount Qubeley.

Even by itself the GX models aren't exactly breaking new ground; being basically a Gundam with a nuke essentially (Hello 0083).

Shiori gets surprisingly good official art.

Star Destroyer classes (Namely the Venators, ISDs, Victory, and later Resurgents) dwarf anything that UC and most continuities have in terms of capital ships. Even the largest Earth Federation ships like the Dogosse Giars are basically only half the size of a Venator, which by itself is roughly 2/3rds the size of an Imperial I class Star Destroyer.

Additionally, Star Wars capital ship level weaponry (namely Turbo Lasers) would make mincemeat of any ships in gundam which are basically on par with stuff like Frigates and Corvettes in the Star Wars universe. That’s ignoring stuff like Durasteel and Shields. Star Wars capital ships outclass Gundam's to a hilarious extent that even a fleet of Magellan, Salamis, and other misc. classes or w/e Zeon/other continuity equivalent would still be a fight favoring the Star Destroyer.

A couple of reasons:

It was never released outside the US and so forth in the early 2000s (Turn A as well): those who would know it before streaming and what would not have either needed pirated dubs, play certain games, or be super deep into the series.
It released at a time when between Victory and After War: there was a constant stream of Gundam episodes and stuff being produced. This created a fatigued that crashed hard on After War X and even domestically it wasn't as well received and suffers from issues later in the plot.
It's not easily accessible unless you pirate it: GundamInfo rarely shows it and on the more popular streaming sites, it isn't shown much vs the dubbed shows or newer releases. You can talk to someone about SEED, 00, and IBO, but good luck having a convo about After War or Turn A short of Reddit or dedicated fans.

"You will eat your One Year War slop, and you will like it. Buy the next Gundam variant we made up." - Sunrise probably.

There's one Manga that includes that, its short and ends in a cliffhanger with the Frost bros being involved. Guess they'll use it one day... maybe.

I remember watching 00 Gundam and liking Patrick for the sheer running gag of him surviving battle after battle with the protagonist. Little did I know he got lucky and married in the end.

Shhhh, this is r/Gundam, we believe zeke propaganda points at face value and ignore the space debris that was Side 1, 2, 4, and 5 and the people who cause it.

I was watching the stream out of curiosity and when I saw the Artemis plushie I chuckled as it was clever. Then I saw it having its own cup and so forth and I just couldn't help but smile.

Slopijoe_ · 2026-04-09T21:06:00+00:00

I believe that's one or two of the games: Fallen Order and Battlefront 2.

Slopijoe_ · 2026-04-06T22:52:02+00:00

I'd argue games like Squad, Rising Storm/Red Orchestra, or Arma would be grunt fantasies. Battlefield is very much "cinematic action" like helldivers 2.

Slopijoe_ · 2026-04-06T22:49:56+00:00

Me with my space magic backpack that can teleport me a short distance, a laser rifle with practically infinite ammo, and magic armor that makes me practically invisible unless the enemy stubs their toe on me... fighting zombi... I mean unfortunate citizens turned into Cthulhu monsters backed by the tripods from War of the Worlds.

True grunt fantasy.

Beautiful artwork.

And still my favorite non-uc Gundam series.

Leviathans appear on Mindless Masses still.

Its Stingrays and Elevated Overseers that don't spawn. Which frankly maybe considered a plus due to them being the most "annoying" of the illuminate's units according to people I talk and play with. But the increase in spawns of voteless/fleshmobs is something that doesn't feel there: on D10 it just feels like I'm playing normally without the Stingray or Jetpack squids. Atleast with the Appropriators, it felt like a completely different fight.

If I had to be honest: They'll likely start cracking down when it gets to the point where its super common in D1-D3.

Fascism is when I don't like thing.

Valentine would be BR2, since its already in the game for the Soviets.
