How would you combat-train mobile suit pilots?

are you teenager in gendum
>yes
swing that sword randomly, you're going to kill everything
>no
scream a lot and die

Definitely fear management.

That has got to be most important thing when piloting a giant super weapon, while fighting against other giant super weapons. Shitting one's pants would be the most easiest thing to do even if you're not in actual combat.

I'd emphasize that they remember why their vehicles are called mobile suits. Too many fights in Gundam have the grunts just sort of standing around in the open shooting at each other. Come on, guys. Maneuver, take cover, flank opponents. This stuff is important.

Yeah actually, that has started to really annoy me. Basically just acting like giant targets on a range.

Hell its even worse when it happens in space, and all the grunts in high mobility suits are literally just sitting there while some faggy named minion is going around one-shotting all of them by himself

Stay near the goddamm ship and protect it. Too many ships get one shot by passing mobile suits without protection and then where are you going to land if there's not enough space in the remaining ships?

Give them mysterious riddles and weird activities to perform.

I'm fairly certain that isn't true, that there are actually strategies which improve your chances if you team up with your wingmen instead of going everyone for themself

>>14814213
Probably more in the context that there's no chivalry, honor, or "unfair" tactics.

And also pilots need to be aggressive and prepared to kill the enemy without hesitation.

>>14814310
I dunno, isn't strafing pilots after they have ejected and are parachuting down to the ground (and thus no longer a threat) a war crime?

>>14811105
A tree step training program.

1. Common sense: informing the pilots how to make yourself a harder target to hit and spot.

2. Target practice: teaching pilots how to lead a target and hit the broadside of a barn.

3. teamwork: teaching pilots to work together even with strangers so they can easily join another squad then the current one dies.

DO:
-Read the fucking manual
-Keep moving as fast as you can
-Shoot passing targets and keep moving


DON'T
-stop to shoot something
-discover the enemy plot
-make a date for after the battle
-leave a steak dinner uneaten
-say "It's a Gundam" or "What is this mobility?"
-admit to liking Uso Ewin

we need to form instructor corps and an aggressor training program

sims and theory only go so far, nothing like actual competition to up the stakes

>>14811105
i would bully them until they break
then some more for good measure
no manuals
no practice
no getting into the robot except in combat

>>14817600
Especially teamwork training. A solid team can actually stall or beat aces. Simply working in pairs to double team grunts can be worthwhile.

Do not forget basic soldiering stuff.
They need to be able to survive outside the mobile suits. Also disciplined troops are the best troops.

love is all you need to pilot a mecha.

>How would you combat-train mobile suit pilots?
just keep pushing people inside cockpits and throwing them in battle until someone survives.

>>14811105
Hard work, guts and screaming are the three keys.

>"instructor! help!!! they are firing at me! with real guns!!"
>"first of all, stop crying! I told you in class, you need guts! GUTS!"
>"oh god OH GOD, THEY HIT ME! IM BLEEDING!HELP!"
>"I'm glad you finally started using some good screaming, now you just have to work those guts and everything will be fine."
>"I'M BURNING!WHERE IS THE EJECTION BUTTON?"

>>14811105
Just make them a Cyber Newtype, cram them in a Psycommu-equipped MS/MA, and throw them at the enemy. Even if they defect, they'll do more damage to them than you.

Tell that to the Turkish

>>14827865
Isn't being a Turk a war crime?

>>14818810
One of the things Age did right Flit's nameless, faceless mook teams beat back several named NOTnewtype pilots
