The BETA from Muv-Luv have come along and they've decided to fuck up the fictional universes of the anime you've watched.

How much of a chance do your characters stand?

I never like the BETA due to their overpowered nature. It would seem to me that you could engineer a virus or discover some chemical that acts like a nerve agent to fight them. But I've been told that it doesn't work like that. And then I learn they have some special unobtainium in their biology that allows them to have megawatt class lasers that recharge in 20 seconds, which makes them even more bullshit. So pretty much 95% of the anime universes stand no chance against them.

Gun Buster would probably be able to defend the solar system.
>>
>>152991655
They would most likely continue to aim at the EVA and have it be blocked by the A.T. Field due to EVA's being jammed filled with tech. Superior would eventually wise up and give directives to attack the cable. EVA's are tall, irrc a little over half the height of a destroyer BETA. I can't see the BETA doing much if we sent Mass Production Evangelions into their hives. Mass Production Evangelions could probably just straight up fly straight down the the hole in the hive to destroy the generator no problem.
>>

On that same note Space monsters shit all over BETA they eat stars for breakfast.
>>
>>152992028
I honestly can't think of many anime that would survive. It seems like only Type II civilizations have a chance against BETA. And the Earth from Gun Buster didn't actually have that level of civilization, though they were able to harness tremendous amounts of energy.

Yeah, but they don't have structures that harness the energy of an entire star. The civilization from Gunbuster seems to have achieved that, yet it isn't actually seen.

Nigga what, the space fleet from yamato would smash the shit out of beta, and that's the fleet that couldn't even dent the Gamilas ships.

And the Yamato alone would just shoot hives with impunity. And if there are just unihnabited planets then they'll wave motion gun the shit out of any planet that has beta on them.

>Gundam

They could defend indefinitely easily even in 0079. Partly because of minovsky physics and the way it's like "lollasers" not to mention beam rifles would fuck their shit in every different direction coupled with the capability for actual orbital bombardment.

I'm not familiar with Muv-Luv, but do they not have any dedicated airborne strains for atmospheric use? Seems to be an obvious strain to develop, which if somehow not actually exist in their universe, wouldn't high altitude air superiority be able to fuck their shit up?

If their numbers are as massive as I'm assuming, regular humanity would get zerged to death, yeah, but I can't really see spacefaring races losing too much ground against them.

Assuming his buffs are as bullshit as stated, Reinhardt can't really be killed by BETA but at the same time he's just one guy and he'd never be able to kill them faster than they are produced.

Subaru probably could destroy the BETA if we assume he really does have infinite tries. Throw that dice enough times and eventually that 10^-1000 chance roll will happen.

Witch of Envy could without much trouble though, she's got plenty of reality warping powers and destroyed half the world, and big AoE shit is what you need against BETA. No guarantees the world will be in good shape afterwards.

Any series where the heroes aren't retarded.

Betas aren't remotely a threat to Gundam. The standard units have 120mm machine guns and more mobility than the BETA can deal with. Not to mention every MS is a walking nuclear bomb and you could just withdraw and detonate a reactor every time they manage to get a Zaku II or whatevs.

Plus magicbullshitparticles totally disperses shit over a couple of km away. That means the lasers aren't doing shit.

This is without factoring in beam rifles.

Minovsky particles are bullshit and OP.

Soushi and Kazuki assimilate the superior in Kashgar. Festum assimilate BETA, and turn them into their bitches. Beta know not to fuck with Earth or Tatsumiyajima.

>>
>>152994959
>>152995354
TSFs have 120mm cannons, mobility, and onboard nuclear reactors too. The problem is that ammo runs out, fuel runs out, and there isn't enough habitable land left to just set off nuclear explosions willy-nilly.

Nukes were extensively used against the BETA by the Soviets, and used again in TDA, to say nothing of shit like G-Bombs. It didn't work.

The main advantage a typical Gundam series has is that they can actually into space and would be able to intercept the BETA pods before they landed.
>>
>>152995681

BVR is impossible vs UC mobile suits. Minovsky particles interfere with pretty much every radiation source including visual acquisition.

You need to be within a good 2km of the target at least on a planet or it's effectively invisible.

That means Laser and Heavy-class Laser betas are 100% ineffective since they require a safe zone to operate and their accuracy would be ruined by how the reactors work. Meanwhile even the most basic primary armament in UC is capable of killing the toughest BETA from the front and they tend to be rapid fire with 100 round magazines.

That's without beam machine guns and so on that came later or going into shit like Gundams.
>>
>>152996046

I am neither /k/ nor have I ever watched muv-Luv but looking at all this BETA units makes me feel like the modern military can wipe them out in an instant

>laser units are completely useless against non guided artillery shells fired en mass
>tank units are literally just giant targets for aircrafts and missiles. Not to mention that they are just asking to trip on mines and explosives
>all anti-personel units are melee and giants like the fuck can they do against a bullet curtain?

The biggest flaw in the BETA's design is the fact that 80% of them are just short-ranged tanks with poor manuerability. A squad of soldiers armed with high powered rifles dropped on sky scrappers would find no problem wrecking havoc on them before they have to retreat.
And let us not get started on nukes and chemical weapons
>>
>>152996123
The lasers are accurate and can fire in succession quick enough to fuck over mass artillery shells
Air force in universe becomes obsolete because laser class is too OP, that's why the mecha in Muv-Luv are named after real life planes.
iirc it takes a tank round to even take out the shittiest beta apart from the soldier classes
>>
>>152996123
>feel like the modern military can wipe them out
This was true for a short period of time immediately after landing on Earth. Helis and planes were destroying them with no problems until the laser class started being made. The denial of air superiority combined with a reproduction rate that's similar to the Zerg in Starcraft pretty much fucked over most attempts of resistance
>>
>>152995681
A Zaku 2 would absolutely wreck even newer TSFs without even really considering the M-particle effects. They're incredibly durable comparatively without any speed loss.

>>152996046

Meanwhile even the most basic primary armament in UC is capable of killing the toughest BETA from the front and they tend to be rapid fire with 100 round magazines.

Not entirely but yes, don't forget that there would be large scale diffracting effects for the lasers and all UC weapons are coated against laser attacks anyway which is why Mega Particle weapons took off in a big way.

an E-pack equipped beam rifle would tear through dozens of beta per shot (limited by how long it took the particles to dissipate into the atmosphere and gravity) And they could do things like use the solar system to blow the fuck out of hives with no radioactive fallout.

They also evolve after a few years to cover their flaws if its glaring enough, like laser classes in response to air superiority.

They probably stuck to their current shit because TSFs are a poor response that feeds plenty of pilots to them.

The old days said the same thing about anti air craft guns but lo. They were rendered obsolete by the missiles that has shockwave effects. And those were for air-craft not artillery

Even if you pack a hundred laser hordes, they wont hit shit because they have no fragmentation effects. That woukd be like hitting a bullet with another bullet

You need to know that Laser classes can easily and effectively shot down ordnance and missiles too, not just aircraft. In ML milliary often must cover entire sky over battlefield with clouds of heavy metals before using missiles and artillery shells otherwise they will be shot down before reaching their targets.

>>152996750
Betas don't run out of money, suffer morale problems, get poor public opinion and destabilization of society, or surrender if you one-sidedly blow up their armies a few time.

They simply shit out more children and send it at you until you run out of metal to make artillery with.

>>152996956
So you think the 10000 lasers will all fire at the same 10 shells? Because they won't. A few will fire (very few, those things are stupidly accurate due to it being a laser), then others will fire at the next, and so on. The first ones to fire will be ready to fire again well before all 10000 have fired.
>>
>>152996956
>>152996750
Do not fire the lasers at the same time. Don't forget that your enemy is controlled by a hivemind, they don't shoot randomly, and while all this is happening, a bunch of betas are already digging under your trenches filled with artillery.
With that being said, the main point in ML is that the beta came quite soon, humanity was in a very stage where they had no tech and resources like us now. If the invasion happened 50 years later, they might be able to stop it completely with modern armies.
>>
Frankly, just nail bits of dead beta into planes, you retards.

They don't shoot allies.
>>
>>152989731
The last anime I watched with characters who could even fight BETA was probably Mob Psycho 100. Since Mob 100% operates on Rule of Cool, him and other high level espers could probably collapse hives while redirecting lasers with shields.
>>
>>152997024
>>152997046
Allow me to reitterate my previous word:
An artillery shell fires at a speed of 1600m/s but a beta can only fire on laser per 10-30 second.
They have taken in 4 shells before they could fire again.

And, again, an artillery shell is almost completely impossible to stop because it is fast and small. Using lasers against shells is even worse as lasers are very thin streaks of light that carries no effects to the environment. Might I even add the fact that you can arm artillery shells wth napalm rounds that would rain down fires and white phosphorus on the target after they were shot down.

Stop calling your BETAs as OP aliens cause they are not.
>>
this happens every thread
>>
>>152997197
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about in the ML part. The lasers are very effective (they are literal bullshit lasers) and they simply need 4 times more laser class than artillery you have. And let me repeat, the issue in ML is that humanity was not prepared. The beta didn't attack in 2017 with the people knowing about it beforehand. By the time they took the threat serious, the enemy occupied 80% of the playing field. It's the situation where you know you could win if you had more time and resources, but you don't. Also, after a few time you would wipe out the lasers with you guns, they would tunnel behind you, or make an entirely new subspecies that specifies against your tactic.
>>
>>152997051
>inb4 strain of BETA that just pretends to be dead so humans salvage it and get fucked in the ass
>>
>>152997197
It's anime physics, BETA are theoretical, fictional aliens. They're specifically designed to be unstoppable by conventional weapons so that the author could justify having rocket-propelled samurai mechs slashing them into pieces.
>>
>>152997197
>An artillery shell fires at a speed of 1600m/s but a beta can only fire on laser per 10-30 second.
>They have taken in 4 shells before they could fire again.

There are 1000 (probably 10 times that, but lets use this) laser classes. For every shell you fire, at worst 10 lasers will be fired to take it down. You now need to get at least 101 shells on target within 10 seconds to get anything through. After those 10 seconds they can fire again and the only one losing is you who lost a lot of ordnance. If you take out these 1000, there are now another 10000 waiting, good luck.
>>
>>152997291
Or the BETA can tell if it's dead and fire at it. Given their origin it seems likely that they would cover such a big engineering flaw.
>>
>>152997197
>And, again, an artillery shell is almost completely impossible to stop because it is fast and small.

That's good, they can shoot it down with precision with limited wasted shots because the author said these aliens are capable of that and you can't say otherwise because they're fucking aliens. The moment your shot is within their firing profile they'll shoot and knock it down because that's the story, however impractical it may be.
>>
>>152997383
Oh also what other people said, they started fighting these aliens during WW2, at first the soviets didn't even tell anyone about them (IIRC)

Now it's modernish and they're being held off sorta, but most of eurasia is already feeding their war machine.
>>
>>152997383
I think the only way to use artillery was to fire shells that contain some metal parts that don't melt but scatter in the sky when being fired at, and after the first volley it would create a cloud to fuck up laser aiming and then the later shots could hit the ground. But then the tanks would bite into your ass from the other side.

Top kek. Really the BETA are a poor man's Velber which already got fend off 14000 years ago. Granted the Velber and its civilization are extremely broken, they have the ability to absorb any kind of attack or technique created by intelligent life (yes stuff like magic fireballs, any ridiculously broken reality rewriting hax and even modern artillery get absorbed into energy).

So Solomon incinerates them.

tl;dr the military might of a combined international effort in 2017 could stop the invasion from escalating, but the assumption is that the situation would be at least similar in some way, beta established and the capability of the universe being transposed in.

At least that's how I take it.

It's just the same logic that zombie genre uses over and over again
The enemy has the numbers but you have the brains damn it. It took only one scientist to design the first nuke.

A 1% Earth's army can take down the BETA using the combined commonsense of minefields, guerilla warfare, scorched Earth tactics, tunnelling, formation, range superiority, armor superiority, technological superiority, and of course, the abilitry to improve your weapons. It takes the /beta years to create the first ranged units but it took humans just 1 year to go from rifles to machine gun+chemical warfare

See these dots?

They're all hives. Underground fortresses full of an undetermined number (zillions) of beta each. And they're increasing every day. Each one has zillions of laser class.
How many nukes does the combined planet have?
One laser class can shoot down at least one nuke. I'm betting there are more laser class than nukes.

Oh, by the way are you sure you're going to survive after detonating that many fucking nukes in your atmosphere? I sure hope you invented radiation-less nukes or someshit.

Napalm? How much ground piercing power does that have? Apparently not enough to kill those pesky vietnamese villagers hidden in their makeshift shallow ground holes, right? Well, these beta dig ant colony tier holes, except on a scale where each ant is dozens of meters tall.

And these hives were launched from another planet somewhere else in space already harvested for all the damn vespene gas it had. No, you didn't know these were fucking space monsters, just giant seeder pods.

No, I don't get why you still argue about this. It's not your hypotethical situation, the story was written in a certain way. Humanity didn't know they have to unite against a haxxor alien race, nor they have to fight certain ways to counter the enemy tactics. The beta took over the planet, and then it's pretty much WW2 where you are the germans. Why didn't Hitler win the war with his superior tech? The enemy had shitty tanks and planes and untrained personnel.

The problem with BETA isn't their power, which is pretty severe. As powerful as they are they are fairly predictable in MLA. The issue is their numbers.

Pretty much any "realistic" universe that relies on science/technology would be annihilated without mercy against the BETA. It would be smallpox versus the American indians but billions of times worse.

Among the worlds with magic, or super robots, only the top 1% in terms of broke/OP can overcome the numbers. Gurren-Lagann could do it, certain Getter series could do it. Dragonball Z could do it. One Piece would fail. Naruto would fail. Boku no Hero Academia would fail.

>Take them down one by one using tunnelling systems safe gaurded by machine gun emplacements that can be collapsed conventionally.
How do you figure we'd tunnel like they do? It takes us weeks to just make a hole through a mountain using very large, slow, and cumbersome machines. How would you defend against them with machineguns? You're in a relatively tiny tunnel underground, they're going to dig into your tunnel from any direction. You won't do anything but die very quickly.

>Exhaust the laser horde by launching hordes of balloons and let them fire their health away.
Each laser can take down 1 balloon or more every 10 seconds. Are you going to launch hundreds of thousands of balloons? How do you transport and fill all of those? They can't just be party balloons either or the BETA won't give two shits about them.

>Invest on nuclear energy and dumb the nuclear wastes on them
They don't care, radiation will sooner be an issue for humans than for the BETA.

>Invest your technolgy on better mines and better rifles. If you cannot have the sky, then you will eat them from the ground
Good luck producing enough mines to even dent their numbers. Better rifles? At best you'd manage to hurt tank classes with them, but that will mean larger calibre and less ammo so you'll be overrun with numbers anyway.

Second: digging tunnels causes noise. A noise that only humans can take advantage off using radar to predict where they are coming and conquer their own bases usng their own systems

Third hot air baloons

Fourth: Anti tank mines can wipe out an entire platoon. You can guess what controlled detonation can do

The problem with Academy City is the BETA as shown in Muv-Luv are actually not designed for warfare. The BETA had no concept of warfare before learning about it from humans. It's like how the Ultimate Ones in Notes don't know they're supposed to die after taking a certain amount of damage because death isn't common sense among the planets.

1. 3 years to make a 26 mile tunnel will still probably be too slow. Hard to compete with millions of purpose built mining insects.

One thing that I feel merits more attention yet has only been brought up a few times is their numbers.

People have a hard time comprehending just how absurd 10^37 is. Let's pretend for a second that the beta never recognize your in-universe force as a threat, and hence never evolve or use military units to assault it, and instead just bum-rush in with weaker types to die in a slaughter. Let's also pretend that they never reproduce. Maybe you kill a hundred every second, maybe 200, maybe 500. It doesn't matter.

Even if you could kill that many per second, every second, for the rest of your lives, it doesn't matter. Your planet will die first. Your sun will die first. Your entire glactic cluster will have reformed first. You'll be a significant portion of the way towards the heat death of the universe before you whittle them down.

10^37 is simply too strong to win against without a magic-tier setting.

He simply lacks concept of warfare outside of videogames, hence why he doesn't even consider infrastructure, transport, supply, and production.

The problem with the ass rabbits is that while they can multiply infinitely, they are individually weak and self regulate their numbers by eating eachother. An ass rabbit at the end of the day is still just a powerful rabbit, which would be a threat to a person but less so to hulking monstrosities.

Also, the rabbits all move as a group and never spread out, so they are more of a localized hazard than a global one. The rabbits would win every confrontation on account of not being able to lose but they would never wipe the BETA out.

I think the more feasible option would just be finding the creators of the BETA.
I mean, there's no way they didn't invent SOME countermeasure against their "robots", right? What if one of the species that the BETA ran into was just as advanced as them, and "reprogrammed" them, turning the invincible army against their creators?

Of course, even that would require space travel technology that humanity isn't even close to.

There's a literal bazillion of beta in the universe, they completely outnumber even the ammo humanity has available and can resist most stuff short of cannon shells.

I hope you don't think the majority of nukes will have much of an effect on a hive. Hives are MASSIVE underground structures and anything but the largest nukes wouldn't really do great damage to even medium sized hives. Nukes are really bad at destroying underground stuff, relatively speaking.

>Do you really want me to get started on how much weapons you can muster in just 10% of the Earth using modern tech?

Not even close to enough, you really should read up on how much ordnance we stock. It really isn't anywhere near as much as you think.

>>152999904
But that's wrong, they do use and learn different tactics, it's just they don't need them. Everytime a new tactic against them was developed it only proves effective the first couple of times. And if one hive learns to defend against a certain tactic, the other hives do so too rendering that tactic useless across the globe.

Ya'll have some major misconceptions of nuclear weapons.

The overwhelming majority are 0.1 to 0.25 megatons, this is because weapons lose a LOT of efficiency as you scale them up, and even with the US arsenal, no there is not enough to blanket the whole of fucking China. You need several per target you want to hit just to make sure it actually goes down.

A keymind is an entire planet turned into a specialized planet sized brain to think up better strategies in accelerated time.

Also the flood knows how to fight while the beta is just a bunch of tools. It would be interesting.

I dont give ashit about Hives. I was giving you an idea of who you are dealing with here.
Nukes CAN take down entire mountains.
Here's a mile deep crater formed from a nuke blast. And it was not designed for that

Te USA is not even 10% of the Earth but it already has enough resources to create 5000 nuke warheads and infite ordnance. Come on, speak how BETAs can be a threat

>>153000037
Yes, anon. You can even jam a missile signal to prevent it from hitting anything
>>
>>152999449
>they are individually weak and self regulate their numbers by eating eachother.
Only if they don't have food. The BETA are like a carpet of food leading all the way back to their hive. The more they attempt the stop the rabbits, the more they feed the rabbits and the more the rabbits know where to go for more food.

Also even just being a local threat would be sufficient. Because of the Gospels, every Archbishop would know the BETA were coming and where, and could nip the problem in the bud nigh instantly, even Regulus alone could probably handle that since he's invincible anyway.
>>
>>153000138
>5000 nuke warheads
Aren't there more hives on earth? They can just shoot some more if they need from the nearby planets.
>>
>>152999904
A major plot point is that BETA don't recognize carbon based lifeforms as actually alive. To them, we're just unusual moving pieces of landscape. They don't actually see us as a threat, because they don't realize we're actually fighting back.

Later on they finally wise up and start to deploy combat-specialized units and shit gets real and then it goes into quasi-magical quantum bullshit and alternate realities and that's as far as I've gotten.

>TSFs have 120mm cannons,

>and onboard nuclear reactors too
What. Are you talking about the S-11 SD bombs? Those are non nuclear and ment to clear away BETA that are close in hive infiltrations etc but they give you a big bang for it's size.

>Nukes were extensively used against the BETA by the Soviets
As scorched earth weapons. Not as direct tactical weapons like the should be. Radiation does minimal damage against the BETA.
>and used again in TDA
And it was 25 kiloton and worked perfectly, wiping 70% of the BETA that were on the surface with instant drop of laser class firing. Yet they needed 2 to take out the hive top structure it was used against.
>to say nothing of shit like G-Bombs.
The bomb that pretty much destroy everything it reached even to maximum range with no power loss? It worked perfectly. It just that dropping G-Bombs at all hives at the same time is not a good idea and 100% destruction of all hives was not done. Maybe 60-80% which is pretty good but not good enough for the human high command who might be under water or lacking air at the moment.

>The main advantage a typical Gundam series has is that they can actually into space and would be able to intercept the BETA pods before they landed.

That crater is from an underground nuclear detonation which is why the crater is so huge. Not only do nuclear bombs airburst and do very little damage in terms of crater, but the one you posted is not a mile deep you autistic fuck, it's 100m deep, that's 1/16th of a mile.

>infite ordnance.

Yeah ok you're retarded. For example the US has about 3500 Tomahawk missiles, not enough to even begin to dent the BETA of a small hive.

I bet you think the "War bring technological advancement" saying is also true. War allows for the fast development of new weaponry and other shit directly useful for warfare, but the real scientific breakthroughs that are necessary for technological innovation happen during times of peace.
Development of nuclear weapons during WW2 was made possible by the scientific discoveries made during the golden age of particle physics in the 1920, when Germany was at peace. Actual science was in a slump during the war because scientists were too busy getting killed or working as engineers to build bigger bombs.

Wont happen unless one of the superior think it is in war and have extensive information and experience.

The most important thing to note that the BETA never developed a new unit from 1967 to 1995. In 1995 they developed the soldier-class which is not designed for "war" so to speak.

It was only in the 21st century where a unit specifcally developed for war happend and that was due to a sudden massive "information download".

At the power of those lasers, any opposing material stop behaving like a linear surface and start exhibiting non-linear properties.

In other words, they go boom. Violently.

That's also why you can't use mirrors. At 6 MW, which is the output power of the laser class IIRC, mirrors explode.

Interestingly, this isn't very far from the power where air stops behaving linearly and start going boom along the path of the laser, which is a thing that can happen.

The power output to pierce through 20 meters of heavy fog is absurdly high. You'd reach atmospheric auto-lensing far before you'd pierce through 20 meters of fog. Even worse for sandstorms.

High power lasers absolutely laugh at every target, but are absolutely useless in bad atmospheric condition.

The first hive that landed on Earth in China is a Stage 6 Hive, the only one on Earth and where the leader BETA of the Earth invasion force is located. Once that BETA was taken out the BETA on Earth stopped being able to communicate and come up with countermeasures.

In fact, plasma self-focusing is the only way to hope to pierce through fog (and maybe sandstorm, I don't want to do the math). That occurs at TW of power minimum.

If the laser class can dish TW of laser power in each shot, well... That's an absurd lot of watts. Enough to transform the atmosphere into plasma in the path taken by the beam.

Seem reasonable. Though smoke (a lot of) like >>153004438 said should have worked just as well.

It isn't easy to produce that much smoke, so I can't tell if it would have been less or more cost effective than metallic clouds.
>>
>>153004607
Energy from reactors (which are also a type of living BETA) deep in the hives.
It's not like they have a long lifespan anyway, so sustainment is not much of an issue. Mostly just used to recharge lazer classes.

Can you tell what heavy metal rodremain whole after impact from that high? All these heavy metal rods drop from orbit will shatter upon impact from kinetic energy and spread thier remains over large area and even high into air for winds to carry them over.

Besides again,laser class will shoot them when they notice them. Yes, they fire at orbital drops regularly in ML. That eh
Hy military have to first use heavy metal clouds as a cover.

Besides. Can you even imagine how hard will it be to transport so many heavy metal rods into orbit?

Festum fuck them.

Festum are Silicon Based so the BETA will already suffer a logic crisis of attacking them or not. Then you have to deal with the fact that Festum take ANY cognizant thought as an invitation to assimilate, so the Superior literally has to make sure the Festum never get a whiff of it or they'll fucking swarm it like flies on shit.

Ultimately they might just ignore each other if nothing triggers a Mir to go full DURKA DURKA JIHAD on another Mir or the BETA if the Superior tries to make contact.
>>
>>153007599
To be fair, a lot of that has to do with how stupidly unrealistic their power level is.

Trying to compare them with less bullshit universes is like going into a debate about which is the strongest gundam and then some retard brings up demonbane and mortarheads.

True, but it's always nice to see a writer know what he's talking about. Watts is a biologist, so the concepts in his books are fairly grounded and not absolutely fucking absurd. Despite this, Blindsight is pretty damn unsettling and is a good argument for not contacting aliens.

Well seems that only relaible strategy against BETA is one from ML. Search and destroy Laser classes, regain air superiority and bomb them to kingdom come.

Now how to archive that with our modern millitary. Missilies and other long ranged ordance that hits from above are out. Sendin Infantrymen is suicide with miniscule chance of success.

I've only ever read a plot summary of it but Muv-Luv seems pretty odd. You have to wonder what the creators were thinking when they decided to combine a dating sim with dark sci-fi and then diverge the entire thing into multiple timelines or alternate realities. The BETA are pretty cool though, even though some of the stuff doesn't really make a lot of sense. I especially like the whole hive mechanic.
>>
>>153012840
It's a pretty simple progression actually.
Starts as a standart comedy harem in a normal setting.
Then it's a military training harem in a fucked up setting.
Then it's a full blown tragic military story in the same setting.

>>153012840
It kind of all makes sense when rereading it, though it becomes less enjoyable since the shock value is a big factor in it.

They really aren't. Terrain hugging missiles would take care of everything. Also
>>Fired lasers from their giant eyes, effective against targets of up to 10km high

This is laughable. Auhors always try to create big numbers and frequently fail to realize their gigahuge numbers are't impressive at all.

>>153013544
No I don't want it to ever happen, SM and TE are bad enough. I'd rather not see Alt get butchered.
>>
>>153003975
Isn't that basically just some sort of ablative armor? It's not some magic material that stops all lasers, it gets worn down very quickly upon being hit and just makes sure you survive a couple seconds of exposure.

Yes, he's full of shit.

Would it be possible to counter laser classes by holding a BETA in front of you as a shield?
>>
>>153013544
I feel that I didn't enjoy Muv-Luv as much as everyone else seems to have because I didn't really like any of the girls.
I did like Marimo but she got chomped early on so I was not as affected by all the deaths later.
I still enjoyed the unrelenting existential horror though.
>>
>>153014895
Yeah, but if it works too well then the BETA might adjust their tactics in 2 weeks to commit to friendly fire anyways.

All the BETA are dangerous and have no regard for their own lives though, so there's a lot of logistical problems with that.
>>
>>153014895
They specifically die three days after capture to stop that from happening. You would think three days is more than sufficient, but you can't win against author fiat
>>
So if they have orbital weapons and stuff. Why doesn't Muv Luv just Rods From God the laser class units or whatever whenever they need to go on the offensive. You ain't stopping a giant tungsten rod even with 10,000 lasers trying to blast it.
>>
>>153015722
But then they would actually win some battles. Instead they drop mecha and tonnes of decoys and smoke because that makes more sense somehow.
>>
>>153015722
They don't have orbital wepaons.
>>
>>152996296
>>a modern howitzer can fire from 500 km

No, just no. Ballistic artillery is usually only effective <50 km.

To fire a shell 500 km distance would entail it being fired at approximately Mach 5 neglecting drag losses. In practice those would be rather significant for such a projectile in the lower atmosphere.

That kind of range would in practice require propulsion in flight to accelerate after gaining altitude.

No, it's pretty well tied together actually.

Big spoilers
They manage to take out the central hive on Earth, which holds a Superior Being that basically manages communication between all hives on the planet.
So with this, they actually have a chance to get the isolated hives little by little, since now they won't all instantly adapt to new tactics.
Of course, there's still bigger hives on Mars, the moon, and the rest of the universe, but they estimate they've gained at least 30 years for humanity. Protagonist then goes back to his original, peaceful universe, since he's accomplished and suffered more than enough.
