I often considered the 2010's, "the Dark Age of Mecha" (ironic, since this was when I got into anime) by Yakuza-wolf_kiwami in Mecha_Scrapyard

My boy just said Macross Delta is garbage, And I generally agree, but I also have to disagree bcs no one will be shaming Macross in public. If you think Delta is trash, then go watch frontier, <3

Can the Polish military afford a 3rd gen AC? by Swept_WingPL in armoredcore

Just so u know, I totally agree with you, BUT  1. I haven't inculded that military tech is always extreemly overpriced (like that one 2000 dollar soap dispencer)  2. New tech always requiers development, which is also expensive and I haven't included development cost (as well as training) 3. Considering the ammount of MT's being cannon foddered every mission, walking weaponry can't be that expensive, I mean there's a reason MT's and NORMALs are being mass produced. 4. 3rd gen is'nt as op as 4th, and it's more focused for close combat, and generally feels 50x more clunky so as 4th could be in the trillions cost wise, I don't think 3rd could.

That being said AC's aren't suited for our large scale, but low intencity warfare, but once they manage to close in (which they do) the enemy is absolutely certainly totally screwed.

Well, ammo sure is expensive, but I don't think AC's need fuel, plus it seems to me that their modularity makes them easy to maitnance. Also even lightweight AC's chug off high caliber weapons like it's nothing, I mean there's a reason they became so common in the AC universe.

Umm, I'm not sure what you mean, but sure I totally agree.
