There was a rather large discussion about this over at Gundam.com. There are a few reasons why they are unrealistic,heres one (and the biggest) They are too light,Wing Zero(custom from EW) weighs around 8 tons.Nu Gundam(I keep using this as comparison because they make a fairly good comparison)weighs in at about 42 tons,Nu Gundam is about the same size as Wing Zero.(if not smaller)They are made of the same thing.(Gundanium alloy)How can Wing Zero be so light?It cant. So yeah,thats the main problem,the GW MS are too light.
it all comes down to the abillty of the pilot but Heavy arms 2 is the heaviest gundam in gundam wing, the pilots need their gundam to be quite light to be agile and fast. But for wing zero was the weight of it measued with it's bust cannon (that atleat weighs 3 ton on it's own.
I guess PRO BLADER is right, but I was going to say, is it really that important? I mean, It's an anime, 'nuff said.
it isn't really relivant of the wieght of the mobile suits in gundam wing but i think i have given you suffecient information why they are so usually light.
Wing Gundam has to be light to be able to fly around. I've never seen Nu Gundam, but if it flys too, I don't know what to say.
I understand your point of View but they are a little realistic. They sort of are. It's anime anyway, it's not supposed to be realistic. tht's the whole point.
... Mechs in general are unrealistic. In real life, if you took nearly ANY mech design from ANY anime, and tried it in a real war, it'd flop. Maybe, MAYBE someday a mech will work but its highly doubtful. As for the weight issue... A mech needn't have the same amount of armor just because its the same size. Maybe Wing Zero has very little armor. Or 'Nu' has LOTS. Or who knows? Maybe its not the armor that makes the biggest difference. Maybe its ammunition? Or extra systems? Perhaps a better refinement process made the Gundamium on Zero much stronger or lighter? I admit I know very little about the Gundams in question though.
`I believe that the gundam Wing Zero, like it's pilot heero's head, is fairly hollow, allowing it to have greater manueverability and reduced weight. Plus, the wings are pretty.
just in general GW Mecha dify the laws of physics anyway so who cares all gundams are unrealistic just look at whats being said about gundams
As I stated earlier, nearly ALL mecha are unrealistic and would have the crap kicked out of 'em by a tank.
Oh really??? Even if you were dim-witted enough to send in a tank against a -flying- mech, you should at least be smart enough to use something like this. Tanks have a smaller profile, are more stable, cheaper, and can have less mechanical failures. Then theres always the argument about unstable ground. A realistic mech would be in big trouble in very rocky terrain and the like. Besides, if the mech was a flying one, I'd send in jets. Dedicated machinery beats out general application every time.
Perhaps Wing Zero is lighter than Nu Gundam because as technology advances, developers find newer ways to modify their mecha's. It would only make sense that as Gundam Technology continued to develop, the need for a more MOBILE MS would be needed. As for Tanks against Flying Targets---never underestimate the might of a good tank crew.
There are lots of variables just like Nephilim_X said. Gundam Wing suits are realistic in the Gundam Wing universe. Look at G-Gundam and tell me that those things make any sense. It's an anime so it doesn't have to apply to anything other than the reality in that particular series.
NEVER! heero shouldnt be aloud anywhere NEAR a Daishi or MadCat! we old school BT players would be ashamed!
Why even start this debate about Wing MS's being unrealistic? Every Wing fan I've come across is 12 years old or less, best point they could come up with in this arguement is "Herro and Duo is pretty and I luv Wing YEAH!?!" None of Gundam is too realistic anyhow. At least in space weight and all that doesn't apply but some of the ground based battles are a bit mad with the boosters managing to lift 30+ tonnes of metal into the air. Ultimately just enjoy Gundam for what it is, no point in worrying about realism when it's all just for entertainment.
no, not what i meant. do yousa remember when there was a BT tv show? I do, and despite the American drawing, it was pretty good. find the eps of that or play the card/minature game minature game
