Ze plane! Finally ze plane!

Well, someone seems happy about the new machine.

[aceshighsword]

That's because it's not just a machine. It's a Jet!

[saikyocivrobo]

A rare sight to behold, huh? It's a reminder of the times when combat wasn't almost entirely dominated by giant robots.

[aceshighsword]

Then you understand my sentiment?

[saikyocivrobo]

Understand, yes. Share, I'm not sure.

I wonder who'd use a jet in combat when a Mobile Suit is available?

[aceshighsword]

You do recall what most Strikers are based on, don't you?

Just like the Strikers, jets are much smaller, and though there's a niche use for them these days, they're still just as efficient as mobile suits, if not faster and less expected.

[saikyocivrobo]

A jet has much thinner armor than a Mobile Suit, though, and can carry much less weaponry. Strike Witches are powerful in a fight thanks to their magic, but I've never seen a jet cast a spell so far.

[aceshighsword]

And to my knowledge you never may, but, I've gotten word that they're working on newer models of Strikers. Yaeger herself is eager to develop something that will go faster than the standard Striker.

Say hi to Guld from me

[saikyocivrobo]

She does have spells that protect against terminal velocity, right?

Re: Say hi to Guld from me

[aceshighsword]

I would imagine so. She uses her magic to increase her speed. Surely it protects her just as much.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, the faster the better in that case! As the pilot of a robot based on speed I know that very well.

[aceshighsword]

I'm certain Mister Sanga agrees as well, as does Lieutenant Yaeger.

But I'm confident she could give you a good challenge in combat, despite being 'simply a plane' Ohohohohohohoho!

[saikyocivrobo]

Maybe? Who knows. I'm not big on contests and duels. I'd rather keep them in the games I play, not reality.

Though, objectively speaking, a plane's pilot would have to rely heavily on his or her skills to match Prometheus' raw power and special abilities. Heavily.

[aceshighsword]

[[She still has all the faith. True to being a fangirl.]]

All the more crushing a defeat, sounds like.

[saikyocivrobo]

We'll see, if that day ever comes.
