It's more meant to evoke mid-to-late WWII, when the Nazi higher-ups saw the tide turning against them and were getting increasingly obsessed with inventing high-tech superweapons that would bring back their early-war dominance.

Some of them were actually effective enough in combat to be worth it (most weren't), but by then Nazi industry and infrastructure were far too strained by the demands of war to introduce new models in meaningful numbers, and the factories and development centers were seriously threatened by advancing Allied troops, so many of these projects never made it beyond the prototype phase. You really could find a bunch of prototype tanks and fighters scattered around the German countryside if you knew where to look, though usually the scientists and test pilots just ran away instead of dragging the prototypes into last-ditch battles like you'd see in Gundam.

I believe the military industrial complex here is Anaheim electronics/every mobile suit manufacturer in any show that isn't set during the one year war

The Zudah is a very pure example, distilled by being in the explicitly Nazi Zeon apologia entry of the franchise.

I had a game on that map yesterday as Zaku II where I bumped Barbatos off the edge twice. Once on the OBJ with the hole in the center too lol

It was very cathartic.

Play it on an outdoor map. The domination map is absurd.

Also unlike the mercybot you can use any skill to exit flight immediately also you can keep hovering while shooting it's just so loving good.

if you jump out of a match where you had a leaver, you can't queue for another until that one's done? if that's what "without penalty" means, they must uninstall the whole thing if you leave in the middle of a game

For the record, unless they've changed it since the network test; doing this will still negatively impact you in ranked, as will losing the match. So having a quitter on your team just fucks you over over no matter what.

I did notice that when enough people left (2 or 3 people?) if you're still in the game, it just ends the game. I'm not sure if you still receive the penalty after that.

Yeah I don't think I've ever lost a game because someone quit. Every time I've seen ppl quit, either on my team or the other sode, the game flashes a warning and ends the match?!

They don't appear to have meaningfully changed or fixed anything at all

Also lol the game barely even plays animations sometimes. A Barbatos killed me by walking past, 1200 to 0 in a fraction of a second, no action taken

Does this game have any sort of MMR with casual play? Just got pushed back to spawn in a few of the games I have played, which isn't very fun.

I'm not sure, but I did win my first four games in a row followed by losing my next four games in a row. Could just be luck of the draw though.

Overall, the game is just okay. I was expecting movement to be about twice as fast as it is with the gundams really just flying all over the place. Instead it's a lot of peaking in and out of cover to take pot shots at people, because if you try to get in the poo poo, you die really fast. It would have been really cool to have some zero-g maps in space, but obviously that doesn't look like it's going to be possible at all with the way it's set up. Also, the revive timer should last as long as the respawn timer. It's like three seconds right now which just isn't enough.
