Okay, so is this really go, or not?

Sounds sorta like the Halo 3 closed beta, in a way...

So is this on, or is it an April Fool's? And where do I signup?

And does the NDA have to be physically signed? I live in Malaysia.

True, but I was talking more in terms of damage potential - those things have shells that weigh one ton - 2000+ lbs! - and the impact crater would be spectacular.

W/regards to picking up weapons, the M9s can install drivers on the fly, as seen in TSR. (That's the best way I can describe it.) And it's a lot smoother than doing Windows XP driver installations. It does take a fair bit of time, but if you're out of ammo, you'll grab somebody else's gun and pray y...

True, but they're using arty to kill tanks from afar now, or so I hear, so it's not so bad....

165mm is an interesting caliber, tho. I think you need custom ammo for it - I know for sure the US uses only 105mm and 155mm....

What would be totally unbelievable would be a 16" battleship gun.

Well. Whoa. Taurec: If you're accurate enough, you can drop an arty shell on a single target. It's not so much the gun itself as it is the round: most modern artillery shells use fragmentation warheads, not a single bigass round. Except those hugeass one-ton 16-inch battleship gun shells. Artillery ...

The Demolition Gun's howitzer mode destroys an enemy from ONLY a kilometer away? I was expecting something longer-ranged, considering that it's an artillery piece . It's meant to blow shit up from long range. (It looks a lot like a US Army arty gun to me. I could be wrong though; fighters are more m...

I haven't read "Birth of the TDD". Perhaps you would be so kind as to give me the goddamned translation, seeing as how you're fudgie uber to be able to read either Japanese or Chinese. :x Aha, the M9 wasn't designed by him. *notes* From what ODBD suggested, as well as other stuff I've picked up, and...

DVMC does state that each Whispered's knowledge is highly specialized. With regards to Arm Slaves... think of it as having different design philosophies. Look at the M9 and ARX-7, and compare them to the Zy-98, Codarl, Venom, hell, the Belial. You can see the different design phiosophies at work. Le...

My impressions of what's happening: 1) It's mentioned, I believe, that Bunny was the LD-AS genius of Mithril. It's also mentioned that the Lambda Driver in Arbalest is incomlpete and inferior to the Lambda Driver in the Codarl and Codarl-M. Mithril's M9Ds were built with the intention of being R&D t...

I'm not sure it's Leonard. Pic 2 looks like an anguished Kaname.

Wait: ATDs exploded? I thought they were just AS-sized combat knives. <.< Then again, everything Sousuke touches explodes, sooner or later. Even Kaname.

... Leonard looks like Kurz. *angry*

Pyrite: You're thinking of the Armor Schnieder combat knives on theDagger Ls and the Strike Gundam. But we all know that the ARX-8 could beat any SEED Gundam. Afterall, it can do Shining Finger. ^____^

Like I said before, the armpit racks can hold either grenades or an ATD. Still, the only time I can recall that anyone ever really used the grenades was when Kurz used them in TSR. I think that Sosuke mostly uses them for ATDs. The shotcannon is awesome, lol. Though its more or less guaranteed that...
