Heavy Object

[Edort4]

This show makes no sense. Nuclear deterrence isnt there cause you cant kill one enemy unit but because even if one side is vastly superior they can be retaliated upon.

So... yeah you have an "object", cool. I just wiped 99% of your population. Go ahead and kill my military. And that even assuming that the object idea is pretty stupid. Thick armor, shock absorbers, etc can wistand a nuclear explosion. Dont think the same about all the turrets, cannons and exterior equipment. Also that 1st object... never heard about torpedos? Writer never thought why destroyers (with unbelieveable thick armor) are no more?

There is so much stupidity (characters are boring as hell and as usual pilots are 15 y/o grils) invested in this show that I can even argue about. Just gonna erase it from my memory and keep going on as if never happened.

Ever watch a Gundam show?
Metals with magical properties and teenager pilots exist there, too. Having some new way to do stuff in the future that is super effective tends to be a sci-fi/futuristic media trope. Teenager pilots, well, that's mainly a Japan thing.

On the topic of nukes, I don't think anyone ever wants to pull the trigger on mutually assured destruction.

Yeah watched Gundam and those are pretty bad, not my 1st time saying that humanoid shape plane/ships/robots are nonsensical and a waste of resources, but at least in those shows they pretend that technology has advanced overall with major breakthroughs and futuristic set.

Im not pissed at the show cause the nuke did almost nothing to that thing. If armor is thick and has absorbers and lead etc it wouldnt be an impossible feat. Afterall there was a serious project to impulse space ships using nuclear explosions and even to put massive objects into orbit that way (to surpass the limitation of fuel rockets where only a really small % of the weight is cargo/payload).

But you have to be very naive to think that a country with nuclear weapons will let themselves be conquered cause the enemy has one "invincible" tank. Lets not even start talking about how you can attack dozens of targets at the same time (Invincible tank can only stay in one place) even if you have 2nd tier weapons but on a larger scale.

You could throw conventional warfare and take out eveything except the tank itself. What a great victory. Everything except your tank has been wiped out. Tank will run out of fuel, supplies, ammo, etc. By the time that 2 big cities have been razed certain small isle will surrender no matter how invincible the tank is.

Is just way beyond stupid all this object warfare. Man I would like to see this in real life. I would start a kickstarter to buy a smal SpaceX (or similar) launch for 20M$ to send a 1 ton tungsten bar to orbit and blow that object thing with physics alone.
