Honestly not really, they get killed pretty easily and often in the show.

@@Pratt_ It's the same logic why you don't send Apaches and F-16 just to take down a couple of infantry unit, you're just wasting money and fuel. Remember, the only nation that has actually expensive Exoframe armor worth protecting is US, the rest of the world basically use light vehicle armor plates and kitbashed heavy machinegun. Exoframes are so cheap that they're around the same price as the human piloting them.
@@varnix1006 the US absolutely does exactly that tho lol as basically every Western power who took part in GWOT for 20 years did, tf are you talking about There is countless combat footages on the internet from American air support where they use an Apache to smoke a couple of dudes on a hill or a Hellfire missile being launched from a Reaper drone just to obliterate 4 dudes in Toyota pickup truck lol And even today Israel uses drones strikes to kill one or two guys in a street. Any modern military engaged in a war with one of from a third world with those exoskeleton is absolutely going to bomb the shit out of them before doing anything else. And doesn't matter how cheap and numerous their exos are you still need a motivated manpower and a proper and competent chain of command. Honestly the fact that in this anime those countries get more powerful would actually be because they start to fight against corruption and just make the government works better and for the people as they mention at some point. Not because they use exoskeletons now, they now have a motivated, trained and functional army. Iirc the only times they actually take on a modern military in this series is by attacking US troops doing some water crossing in a random spot in Africa because nobody expected it and they were super vulnerable like everyone is during water crossing. There wouldn't be a repeat of this. Lessons are learned. And again, you won't win a war if your enemy has air supremacy, you just can't. Those exos wouldn't be a total game changer like they are depicted in this series in an actual war. Let's say Country A full of those mechs but basically cold war suplus for the rest of their military invade Country B which has an actual air force and a modern military, country B is 100% going to bomb the shit out country A's positions and columns, and trust me that no matter how many exos they can order to the aliens, good luck finding anyone to go willingly in it when the only conclusion possible is being cut in half by a 30mm round from an Apache you didn't even saw because in the middle of the night and the Apache crew has been picking up everyone in your squad one by one with their thermal and infrared sensors. If your enemy has air supremacy, it means you can't hide, you can't gather up your troops to launch an offensive, you can't use roads even at nights, and nothing/nobody is safe : you're going to lose. And that's even without bombing or strafing anyone. Your enemy now knows everything, at any time, everywhere and you can't do anything about it. And remember that in the show the ones who do great with their exos are the one who actually stop using meat wave tactics, put proper armor and weaponry on their exos, and are well trained and disciplined. All the others get extensive casualties and mostly lose. As for your part about them being cheap, a lot of the time in a war your run of people before you run out of military equipment if it goes long enough. Like people often think that Germany during WWII should have ditched their heavy tanks and built more medium tanks and tank destroyers instead, especially to fight the Soviets. Well they actually kept building tanks basically until the last day of the war but at that point and for a while already they just didn't have people to put in them. Where it would actually be quite impactful would be any place with difficult terrains, basically places where air support is difficult/limited and the terrain prohibit fielding anything else than basically light infantry. Those suits would just be a clear net positive in terms of speed and available firepower. And that's exactly why we see them used in the mountains of the India-China border and in South America in the jungle and the Andes mountains and that's a really good aspect of the show.
no matter what you do with a mech, aslong as it isnt under 10 ft, it will get clobbered by machinegun fire, autocannons, mbts, EAT, HATs, LATs, grenades. stuff like that.
The funniest part, is that tanks will never be retired on land. Nor will atmospheric aircraft. They're simply too efficient and cost-effective in their roles.
Tanks also can be very heavily armored and armed for their size. This is kinda shown in Full Metal Panic, where a sniper rifle for a mech has a 57mm caliber, which means a tank’s frontal armor can shrug off multiple hits from it. The fact that it is a sniper rifle when tank guns are over twice as big also shows that mechs are both comparatively lightly armored and their standard weapons probably amount to autocannons. Of course, mechs can have greater mobility and can use that to make the most out of their lighter weapons by flanking, there is no better way to bring a ton of armor and a big gun to a fight than a tank.
@mak5104 Mechs can also climb up hills, unlike tanks, depending on their weight class. Tanks require either natural or man-made slopes which might not be available or in a bad position.
I mean it already is. For the A-10 to be used it needs total air superiority, and for the enemy to posses no anti air in any capacity. If the enemy has even the ability to contest the skies or has 50 year old anti air then the A-10 cannot be used.
@@bittercad1137 Not to mention that modern tank armor makes the gun almost useless. The best it can hope for is to take out its softer parts like optics to disable it.
@@truexenith8596 The GAU 8 Avenger gatling cannon can shred through modern tanks even with explosive reactive armor plus most of the time the A10 isn't going up against modern tank like a Abrams or the British Challenger its going against older tank models. The A10 is definitely an out of date aircraft but it still excels at what it was designed for and has yet to be replaced due to it being so reliable at air to ground combat
Honestly I like the idea that training>Equipment. Like I would rather have a unit of 30 year olds who gave been in service for almost a decade with the same equipment than a unit of 20 year olds with brand new cutting edge equipment because experience outranks everything.
That was the mindset China picked up after their first war with India. History shows that the Chinese were wrong in this matter. At least when it comes to artillery and Heavy weapons systems. Experience is king when your a grunt running around on the ground. But an self propelled artillery system that can fire 5 rounds in a minute is gonna wreck your shit if your still rocking 30 or 40 year old guns. And if the battle of 73 eastings taught us anything. It's that even a light vehicle like a Bradley can kill an tank if the Bradley has a cutting edge ATGM mounted on it. The heavier the weapons system, the more an technological edge matters. An derringer firing lead shot isn't that much weaker than a derringer in .25 auto. But god help the man who tries to out shoot an Excaliber round while he's rocking an 6 pounder.
@@robertkeaney9905 well, ignoring anything related to Iraq due to the fact that they can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag with a compass, map, and a flashlight as a whole (individually, they can fight quite well, outside of that context, however, they've been trained by several powers and don't really have a doctrine to speak of despite that), this is quite true. People like to hate that, but it was pretty evident since the closing days of *_WW1_* of all times.
@@TheTrueAdept I think that's a slight mischaracterization of saddams forces. By the time that we went to war with Saddam his country had been ravaged by an brutal multi year war of attrition against Iran. Look at how the Ukraine war has depleted Russia's stocks, and russia is a first rate world power. Most of sadaams best formations were elite in name only. Certain elite groups like the Fedayeen managed to avoid this attrition. Only by dint of being an paramilitary group focused on crushing domestic decent. But the Iraqi army we faced during desert storm was an cadaver bloated by conscripts and third rate equipment in severe need of maintenance.
tbh, the most realistic aspect you can possibly have in a gundam is the A10 seeing more action than it ever had before. An A 10 would eat up mechs like the cookie monster inhales cookies
@@VulpisFoxfire you know there is a reason mechs don't exist. It's not that we don't have the technology, it's just a stupid idea. Having a big vertical profile at the top speed of a human jogging equals death on the battlefield.
Who says a Mech will be/remain confined to jogging speed? First Tanks were like 10mph, same for Cars ...but they got faster. I think Mech's Use Case is not long-term sustained combat but blitzkrieg ops as part of specialised assault forces. A Powered Mech Squad could be airdropped in to assault a difficult position. Jump-Jets on a Mech would mean that it could jump over any prepared defence line to attack built in defences from behind. Armed just like a tank, just as fast as a Tank but far more mobile with vtol/jump-jet Tech ...takes Tanks 2D (surface-to-surface/surface-to-air attack power & adds a 3rd & 4th Domain )air-To-surface & air-to-air vs other Low Altitude Mech's.
I always think that they use robots to avoid showing any real violence. I mean it’s cool and all, but there are no stakes when you see no humans risking their lives
@@leandrovelozo1255 The first episode is so cool, the voice acting is a bit meh but the details in the military equipment are so spot on so far. Thanks, also its a shame they dont make more episodes
As much as I love mechs, actually building them to work is so untenable. Something like 40k, Battletech/Mechwarrior, Gundam and so on. All very cool, but the cube square law makes it too unviable. They would collapse under their own weight.
1. Square cube law, not cube square law. 2. OBSOLETE doesn't feature mechs of that size. 3. The real reason mechs are generally not practical is because of their armor profile and resource efficiency, something that is addressed in the actual show. When you hear something online, it's usually a good idea to use some critical thinking to analyze what information was actually conveyed.
Even ignoring material science, it's the complexity issue that kills the idea. When you remove unnecessary joints and servoes, turn the arms into simpler weapons emplacements, and replace the legs with wheels or tracks, you just get a bog-standard tank or AFV. Remove all limbs and keep the flying capability and you get a fighter jet. The human shape is ultimately for ego and cool factor. I like mecha, to be clear.
Thats why actually i think mech are better suited in space or low gravity area with small or none atmosphere where the resistance or weight start to bother it. This also why i adore "RB-79" ball type. Its thing that people IRL could actually make it and usefull not only on combat (not to mention it actually created for space)
The story is meh, but I stayed for the worldbuilding. I like the semi-realistic approach of this anime, the military implements an existing weapon system to the mech.
Amusingly, due to the... shall we say lackluster capabilities of mechanical joints to resist debris being forcibly injected into them, the A-10 would work wonders against maneuver-killing mechs with its brrrt gun. Missiles would still rain king on actually destroying the suits though; Mavericks with either a 100lb HEAT or 300lb HE-FRAG warhead already routinely demolish modern tanks, mechs would be eaten alive
I could never get into mechs. They just make no sense in combat. They wouldn't be able to carry weapons larger or more advanced than what we could put on dedicated platforms, they'd never be as flexible as an armored battalion. They'd never be cost effective. And they'd never have longevity. Mechs just make no sense.

Presumably in an effort to destabilize things
Automated mortar already exists
@@michaelkolano8686don't they know we automatically do it ourselves
@@quadratic7578they gave us tools to do it better
Old things still do the job fine.
New things can do new things tho.
What episode is it with the helicopter?
episode 6 "JAMAL"
Mechs using a giant mortar is so stupid its hilarious
i thought that was a fucking forklift that flew off at the start, my ass was waiting for it to hit a tank or some shit
What anime name ? THK
anime name please?
OBSOLETE
WHAT SHOW IS THIS ???
Obsolete is a Good Anime with good amount of Copium
what anime is this an edit of?
As much as I love mechs, actually building them to work is so untenable. Something like 40k, Battletech/Mechwarrior, Gundam and so on. All very cool, but the cube square law makes it too unviable. They would collapse under their own weight.
1. Square cube law, not cube square law.
2. OBSOLETE doesn't feature mechs of that size.
3. The real reason mechs are generally not practical is because of their armor profile and resource efficiency, something that is addressed in the actual show.
When you hear something online, it's usually a good idea to use some critical thinking to analyze what information was actually conveyed.
@@sharkastic2633 critical thinking is OBSOLETE
jk jk
Even ignoring material science, it's the complexity issue that kills the idea. When you remove unnecessary joints and servoes, turn the arms into simpler weapons emplacements, and replace the legs with wheels or tracks, you just get a bog-standard tank or AFV. Remove all limbs and keep the flying capability and you get a fighter jet. The human shape is ultimately for ego and cool factor. I like mecha, to be clear.
Thats why actually i think mech are better suited in space or low gravity area with small or none atmosphere where the resistance or weight start to bother it.
This also why i adore "RB-79" ball type. Its thing that people IRL could actually make it and usefull not only on combat (not to mention it actually created for space)
@@pcenero You either didn't watch the show or didn't pay attention when you did.
it's a shame how terrible the tank combat was in this show despite the visuals
What is this anime called??
anyone know the name?
Obsolete, its available on youtube.
Ok thanks!

Destroids ?
If it aint broke dont fix it
the character introductions of this show were so insufferable I couldn't hack the first episode. Should I have kept watching?
The characters were quite wooden, except maybe for the African kid commandos. The mech combat and the geopolitics were far more interesting.
The story is meh, but I stayed for the worldbuilding. I like the semi-realistic approach of this anime, the military implements an existing weapon system to the mech.
are you listening to the American dub? the Japanese original makes it 10x less worse
War in a nutshell
What was this anime again
Anime nanme?
and their enemy is a guy with sandal and ak47
Anime name?
the us military complex
Animation's name?
absolute its on youtube ruclips.net/p/PLKPsuBIKuejNJW_M6ArHpD6DBeMIw405L
i love how most of the weapons of choice were seen as unusable pieces of shit in Ukraine, only to steamroll mechas and proved themselves worthy again
I have somewhat got the feeling, that that will be the theme for WW3.
Sauce?
Literally the video title
What anime is this?
Obsolete
@@MM22966 thanks
What happened to this anime?
This name?
EMOTION Label Channel "OBSOLETE "
Dunno what this sshit is but i wanna see it lol
What is this?
Obsolete my ass that A10 is as modern as the day it was built
The day it was built it was already absolete by about 30 years
Amusingly, due to the... shall we say lackluster capabilities of mechanical joints to resist debris being forcibly injected into them, the A-10 would work wonders against maneuver-killing mechs with its brrrt gun. Missiles would still rain king on actually destroying the suits though; Mavericks with either a 100lb HEAT or 300lb HE-FRAG warhead already routinely demolish modern tanks, mechs would be eaten alive
90% of the people in the comments never watched the series and it shows so bad😩
I could never get into mechs. They just make no sense in combat. They wouldn't be able to carry weapons larger or more advanced than what we could put on dedicated platforms, they'd never be as flexible as an armored battalion. They'd never be cost effective. And they'd never have longevity. Mechs just make no sense.
Animation was great but the writing got so lazy and so far off anything entertaining.
Music choice is poor. It sounds like a weird advertisement.
check out carpenter brut, or utilize classical music to juxtapose the scenes.
The music is the shows OP
@@legonary it's not good. It sounds generic.
Cool visuals, awful show.
what anime is this ?
