What would you use captured enemy machines for?
>>14629380
To power my home.
>>14629380
Replacements for mobile suits and gear that you've lost or just to have some extra firepower.
Opposing Force training at first, given to my most elite personnel and trainers.
If I captured sufficient numbers later, Infiltration-tier reconnaissance (though the pilots wear their own side's uniforms so they won't be tried as spies) and Long-range patrols especially at night.
To train my pilots.
Trainers and customizing my machine.

>>14629380
Second line forces, holding flanks, reserves. Make damn sure I repaint them in my colors.
ABSOLUTELY NO BRANDENBURGER OPS
False flag operations with mobile suits tended to end poorly. See: Camouf

Yes, a Feddie GM....in green colors and the Zeon logo plainly visible.
>>14629477
Is a custom thing someone over at Mechatalk made. A 'GM Avant' in 'Custom Ground Colors'.

There's a serious risk this GM pilot will be shot by his own side. He's got the Zeon logo on his mech and he has painted it green.
>>14629527
> Zeon logo
Son if you think that star is a Zeon emblem I got some bad news.
>>14629527
But that's the Federation logo up front
>>14629543
>Zeon logo
That's the EF logo.

Yes, in the blur of long-distance combat I can't see how anyone would get those two mixed up.
It's like the two sides took logo cues from Honda and Hyundai.
>>14629563
That's probably why it's simplified on their shield.
Peacetime; OPFOR
Wartime; Substitute-standard reinforcement and rearmament.
>>14629572
So why is it painted like a Zeon suit? It's pointless for infiltration because it still has the Feddie logos visible, by your own admissions.
It's not for camo because it would be all green.
>>14629593
Seriously, in an Opposing Force exercise where there is no chance of a Friendly Fire incident, there is NO reason to bother changing the Feddie logos. You can keep them on.
The fact that it is painted like a Zeon suit shows it's one of yours.
>>14629593
It is for camouflage. You don't just say 'well if we put a bit of liver on we might as well make it neon pink.'
>>14629627
*livery, rather.
>>14629627
The GM Sniper is a much better example of camouflage.
There is not a shortage of green paint.
>>14629633
You also don't put boots in ghillie suits. You throw the local color on them and thats good enough for line troops.
>>14629380
Piloted by cute girls.
>>14629380
Rape.
>>14629380
To the rape dungeon they go.
>>14629593
Heya. How you doing?
Just watch the first two episodes of Stardust Memory
I mean I'd probably use it as a trainer for a bit, if it's just one. If I captured a shipment, training and also trying to find those little bugs and drawbacks in the design that don't seem noticeable in combat
>>14629380
Beutepanzer equivalent
>>14630587
heck the Federation ended up producing multiple Zeon suits for their own use after the OYW
>>14629380
supposing I were in a white base/argama mode?
I'd just scrap them for spare parts
I don't even know how they repaired the gundams so many times.
>also going full ISIS and shooting unstable reactor at enemy ships
Sell it back to the Zeeks for some of those sweet, sweet gold bars they love handing out like candy.
