Fall Damage

anything falling from a high enough altitude can. mechanical linkages, shock absorbers, and thrusters can change how high that is, but any fall will cause damage if it's high enough.

but how high is too high for something ala Zeta-tier?

>>14975710
Do math.
Or just just jump off a building and find out.

I'm just asking because in Armored Core you could fall from fuck-high and take literally no damage. Armored Cores were dropped from these helicopters at high altitudes, regularly, into missions.

>>14975720
Scopedogs had the best shock absorber.

>>14975720
No, you're being a pedantic autist as usual. Of all the worthless threads you've made in the past, this is by far the dumbest. Your reasoning is deeply flawed (hurr durr these giant robots from an unrelated franchise ignore something because game mechanics), and if you weren't buttfucking retarded you could answer your own questions by doing some basic math using the official dimensions of given suits and accidents involving people falling.

If that's still too much for your double-digit IQ to handle, >>14975304 has the simplest answer possible.

>>14975737
This.

You clearly took some fall damage to the cranium as a child.

Is Snapshit-Fag a giant underaged retard?

>>14975710
Did you even watch the show? Really damn high, there are several fight scenes that take place entirely in free fall with no one being worried about the potential consequences. In addition to damn good shock absorbers they've also got thrusters to slow their fall. Zeta-era mobile suits only worry about falling damage when they're descending from orbit, that's how high.

Closest I've ever seen is webm related. Its like all MSes have infinite fuel and can thrust against the weight of any fall indefinitely.

I would imagine they have pretty awesome shock absorbers and pretty strong inner frames, I mean a lot of the early models not equipped for space had powerful jump jet thrusters at least.

There are limits though, the only real showcase I can think of fall damage is Shiro's RX-79G falling down an icy mountain.

If they fall too far they'll make a silly crunching sound and take 10 HP worth of damage.

>>14976784
Fall damage in crossfire was just stupid. You would either take no damage or be left with 1hp legs. There was no inbetween.

Wasn't landing half the reason for the jump boosters?

Also the Ground Gundams had parachutes, dumbly enough.

>>14976659
Does an MS ever run out of fuel? I don't remember them ever running out. I always thought the engines could run for a very long time.

>>14975272
First episode of Zeta. GM IIs crash into the ground and explode

>>14977012
Not fuel but the V2 runs out of power, which acts as a fuel source for its Minovsky drive, this is despite having one of the stronger reactors in the UC timeline

Why does this faggot always asks incredibly retarded questions?

>>14977035
It's more interesting than the million of generic threads about "X show is good!" "X show is bad!"
For 20 years, same threads over and over, nothing new.

Damn straight I'd rather talk about something that is rarely touched on. Something that's minor but still fairly significant to how mecha operate.

>>14977012
Yes.
It can't last for couple of days and need Helium/Hydrogen refuel or battery charge, just like regular planes. What are you think those giant tubes and cables on hangars are for?

Most of the battles only last for hours so its not very prominent.

>>14977048
>My shitpost general is better!
Yeah, of course my snapshit kun.....

>>14977077
What are you even talking about.

I always liked to think that when an MS did some sort of boost assisted jump, some onboard system would be set up so that there would always be just enough fuel left to assist in slowing its landing.

>>14977087
You of course
don't say i didn't check that posters tic anon :^)

>>14977097
Yeah because I posted just before I replied to you: >>14977012

>>14977012
The Dendrobium ran out of propellant and had to be refueled during part of 0083's final battle, which lasted something like two or three days IIRC.

>>14976659
GM got a kill zaku wannabe!

>>14975737
Snapshit aways make threads asking retarded questions. Then he always argue when someone gives him a legit answer just because. Sometimes even answering his own questions in the first couple of posts. He wants attention and the clueless idiots on this board just keep responding to his troll threads in earnest.

08th MS Team when Shiro is falling with the Apsalus on the mountain he uses the thrusters and says "Do I have enough fuel?"

That was Kou Uraki's Hi-zack.

>>14977012
Different MS have different power systems, but for the most part they have the same stuff;
>M-Reactor powers the whole suit (Motors, Sensors etc)
>Thrusters use rocket propellent, sometimes a backpack or a fuel tank attachment is used for extra supply
>Energy weapons either use their own supply (MK.II Beam rifle) or an internal capacitor which is recharged/linked director to the reactor (Beam Sabre).

Don't lump him in with those shitheads, he's alright.

I think its in the first episode of Zeta, some guy fucking explodes when he hit the ground

and quite a few in that era don't even worry about that.

>>14977113
Unicorn ran out of fuel mid-battle but everyone seems to have forgotten that entry into UC already.

>do MS take fall damage
>do MS run out of fuel
Watch 08th MS Team.
>MS runs out of propellant
>MS falls down cliff
>MS takes damage
Refueling thrusters is mentioned in some other shows (SEED and IBO come to mind) but like most MS-related things, ammo count and fuel remaining only happen when it's convenient to the plot.
