That's the way I see it. And if I'm right about this, it would seem pretty useless unless it's a fight where both pilots are rookies, but in a tactical sense, it could be useful to Shin against a large number of foes as it would help him take out more enemies faster.

Not all weapons need to increase capabilities or power to be effective. [img][/img]

To me, all of those units are pretty much equal except for Legend who gets a severe dissadvantage in areas with gravity. Though I don't know how it'll fair in space. Even though it's definitely a step in the right direction from Providence, but I still think it's too reliant on favorable conditions to be any real good.

I've been over what each machine is capable of and what they can achieve with their weapons and they all balance out rather well. The only thing though, SF only slightly outclasses Destiny due to it's Dragoons, but only by a little since 1, it's a waste and dead weight in the atmosphere while Destiny remains as versatile in any condition and 2, it covers all of it's ranges well and effectively.

Only reason why it's got so much trouble beating other main units is usually because of the pilots he's u against and their state of mind.

I also want to take this moment to remind everyone that Kira has one fatal flaw. He's too kind. I'm sure he could have dealt with Shin just fine in any of the times he fought against him if he didn't hold back. there were many ocasions where this was shown in the way he fighs, even in his apearences with the SF.
good post. i agree with everything except for legend. the one and only advantage legend has is it can use its draggons in gravity while sf cannot (they can pivot but not detach. atleast they can shoot). that can be a huge advantage sometimes.
