Even though Xiao Ran did not participate in the battle, he was able to observe the battles of almost every pilot in the Victory Fleet. For an airframe like the EVA, facing such a large number of battleships at such a distance, the weapons they could use were too weak. Even if they could use the AT field to move in space, their speed and agility were not as good as those normal airframes that were truly suited for space combat. They could only be used to create barriers for the fleet to break through.
Although the Titan, Samport, and the Brave Warriors had been strengthened, they were the same as the EVA under the attack range of the battleships. Their attack range was too small, and their movement speed was not fast enough. It was difficult for them to display their true combat power. They could only protect the fleet from the side and did not have the ability to attack the enemy fleet from a super long distance.
However, Xiao Ran also knew that these airframes were not suitable for the long-range firepower of the battleships' cannons. These airframes were originally the type of airframes that were built to fight head-on, and the most suitable place for them to fight was within the enemy's formation. Only under such circumstances could they display their full destructive power. Even so, it was meaningless to strengthen these airframes from a distance. However, from Xiao Ran's point of view, there were still some supplementary settings for these airframes.
For example, Samport, Titan, and Brave Warrior mechs could be equipped with a shield that could be enhanced by the mechs themselves. In a similar situation like this, the shield could be used to protect the battleship. It could even be used as a propeller for a mobile force to launch an assault. In any case, these mechs were not of much use at such a distance and could not display much combat power. If they were put to good use, these mechs would at least be able to deal with the attacks from the cannons of Gamilas's battleships.
Xiao Ran's idea was very simple. Based on the current Gamilas fleet's attack style, without considering other factors, it was basically a simple combination of battleships and space fighters. The battleships basically relied on beam attacks, and even if the space fighters had Gatling guns, they were not very powerful. Their main attack style still relied on beam weapons.
Therefore, whether or not these mechs could possess, or even control a batch of special beam deflecting armor, of course, it was the VPS's beam deflecting armor that would enhance their auxiliary ability in combat situations where they were not suitable.
The EVA had the ability to use AT-type barriers, and the AT-type barriers she created were more than enough for Gamilas' battleships. However, the EVA didn't have any thrusters, and she was still using almost all live ammunition. Her long-range attacks and movement were indeed a huge weakness. Xiao Ran had long been aware of this, so he had told Rollo to see if he could create a suitable backpack for the EVA to solve this problem. However, before the backpack could be created, Gamilas had conducted a targeted combat investigation.
As for the others, Xiao Ran also felt that their performance was not perfect. The reason could be divided into two parts. Some of them were really restricted by the fleet, especially the Yamato. Attacking alone was not very effective, but if they left as a group, it would greatly affect the fleet's defensive line. People like Kira, Aslan, Zhen, Amro, Cha Na, Amato Akihito, and Liu Longma belonged to this group.
Some of them were really not used to this kind of combat mode and environment in space where battleships and cannons clashed in space, or their mechs were not suitable for such combat. They had not completely walked out of their previous battles and adapted to the new environment. Angie, Jia 'er, Tetsuya, Sosuke Sagara, and the Titan pilot mentioned earlier belonged to this group. Among all the pilots in the Victory Fleet, this group was the largest.
However, Xiao Ran also felt that there was another reason, and that was that most of the pilots were not familiar with the new mechs. For example, the brand-new Ferocious Bird on the Yamato, which was copied from the OG World's technology upgrade and installed with the GUNER component, in fact, it was able to charge into the enemy's formation alone and use the black-hole cannon to attack the mechs that could throw Gamilas' fleet into chaos. However, it did not find its position in the battle at all. It still treated itself as a support and did not think of standing on the front line of the battle.
It was the same for the Gurungast. The brand-new Gurungast had the ability to transform and was fully capable of cooperating with the Ferocious Bird to charge forward. However, its performance in the battle was no different from before. It did not know what it should do at all.
Of course, the reason for this was not only because they were not familiar with the mech's performance, but more importantly, Wilt and Little Green did not understand what they should do in the battle at all. They had not changed their positions yet.
On the other hand, Liu Longma, Doujia, and Jian Tetsuya could also directly leave the fleet and rely on their mech's special abilities to attack Gamilas' fleet. With their mech's level and performance, whether it was speed, mobility, flexibility, defense, or attack, they were top-notch in all aspects. Even if they took some attacks from Gamilas' battleships, it would not be too difficult for them to break through. With just the three of them, even if they could not completely destroy the enemy's battleships, it would not be difficult to create chaos and destroy half of the enemy's battleships.
If the three of them had done this from the start, the awkward situation for the Victory Fleet would have turned into a different situation.
Of course, apart from these people, there were also Angel, Tianhe Ming, the Summer Flower series mechs on the Fuzi, the Instant 00Q, and the entire Agenarian First Squadron. These mechs were all existences with the ability to jump. In the face of such a battle, they could jump directly into the middle of the enemy's fleet and bring great destruction and chaos to Gamilas' fleet. But in the end, all of these people and mechs stayed close to the fleet and did not display their advantages at all. It was unknown whether it was because they did not expect this, or because they were not used to it, or because they felt that they could not leave and needed to protect the fleet.
Xiao Ran did not know the reason, but Xiao Ran knew that the best defense was offense. If he could cause the most damage to the enemy, he would naturally receive the least amount of damage.
