Respawning and save-scumming.
Reading the rest of Hurley’s story, it just seems... strange. Artificial, somehow. It makes me wonder more about why the shown situation is occurring in the first place given the scenario the writing establishes.
Given that this is pretty much how society operates, who is the joke here actually directed at? : /
Stainless steel has a particularly sharp tang to it, with me. Copper tastes nice, iron is revolting. I can’t stand the taste of blood for that reason, even a slight taste makes me feel sick. Plasma tastes alright though.
I could be misremembering, but didn’t Viktor sew that himself? Which explains everything.
I’d argue it extends to the entire UC timeline to a certain extent. The first Gundam was a testbed for subsequent Federation mobile suit technology, and was never intended to be a war-winning weapon by its lonesome.
It’s looking good; I have no complaints about the specific things we’re seeing. But... I’d still like a Gundam series that isn’t effectively a fairy tale. Remember when Gundam was a weapons system, and the stories were about the soldiers rather than a Designated Hero and his Ace Custom?

Putting a 90mm gun on a Sherman chassis is effectively the M36. Though that had an open-top turret like its predecessor. The 90mm gun itself was sourced from the T26 project, which would eventually produce the Pershing.
The US was not going to up and develop, procure, and ship thousands of units of a totally different design for each theater.
“We were carrying these things that looked like typewriters but had like wheels in the top.”
The US forces never actually used the Sherman Firefly, it was a purely British stopgap measure which was supposed to bridge the gap between older role-specific British tanks (which were either cruiser-types made for exploiting enemy weaknesses and operate independent of infantry support, or infantry support hardpoints…
