Magellan class space battleship
pre-war days
The Earth Federation Forces, as is generally accepted, disregarded the Zeon MS before the war began, and its tactical philosophy waspolicy of using large ships as a weaponThe most important thing is the firepower that can be directed directly at the enemy when facing him. This is indicated by the fact that the firepower that can be directed directly at the enemy when facing the enemy is10 mega-particle cannonsThis is a tremendous amount of firepower. If a fleet battle were to occur, this firepower would have been well spent.
But the times are no longerpolicy of using large ships as a weaponIt was not...
Despite this frontal firepower, the Magellan class' anti-aircraft firepower was vulnerable to MS, and although it did not surface during the One Week War, the first battle of the One Year War, it later suffered heavy casualties, including the destruction of the Reville fleet in the Battle of Loum.
This is probably due in large part to the disabling effects of guided weapons and radar in areas under high concentrations of Minovsky particle spray.
In the modern era, when ships shoot down aircraft, they use radar to detect and shoot them down, mainly with guided weapons such as anti-aircraft missiles, or with rapid-fire guns and CIWS linked to radar. However, in the early stages of World War II, when neither of these methods were available, aircraft were shot down at a low rate because of optical sighting.
Yes, this situation under the spray of Minovsky particles disables the electronic eye of radar and forces the human eye to aim, suggesting that the hit rate will drop to the level of the Japanese military during the Pacific War.
And with such a low hit rate, the basic defense is to form a barrage, but the Magellan class was not equipped with sufficient anti-aircraft firearms because it assumed the use of guided weapons.
Therefore, the Magellan class, the poster child of the big-boat, big-artillery principle, was easily defeated by the new MS.
Vinson Plan
The Earth Federation Forces suffered a major loss of fleet strength in the first battle, but of course they immediately launched a plan to rebuild Starfleet. This was the Vinson Plan.
And the Magellan class built under this Vinson program differed in some respects from the prewar version.
Yes, MS operational capability was granted.
The Magellan class that was given this MS operation capability was called the modified Magellan class, and it carried the Earth Federation Forces' first main mass-produced MS "Jim" and the ball, and became the keystone of the Earth Federation Forces' counterinsurgency operations in the latter half of the One Year War.
So the Magellan class was the mainstay of the Earth Federation Forces throughout the One Year War.
successor ship
Magellan-class battleship
Although the name is similar, it is different from the modified Magellan class, and despite being built after the war, most of the ships do not have the capability to serve as MS carriers. The reason for the existence of this ship was that it was designed to be the flagship of a fleet and MS were to be carried on the accompanying ship, but the era of large-scale fleet battles has passed and the ship was refitted after the Deller's Conflict.
Birmingham class battleship
It has five mega-particle cannons, eight single mega-particle secondary cannons, one large single mega-particle cannon, two 12-round missile launchers, and 12 anti-aircraft laser cannons, making it the rightful owner of the "big ship, big gun" principle.
It should reign supreme as the flagship of the Earth Federation Starfleet...
What did this girl do?
It is a battleship that leaves only the image of having been vaporized by an atomic bazooka with the feeling of
Dogos Gear class large battleship
It was redesigned based on the concept of adding MS operation capability to the Birmingham-class battleships, which were built by the Titans at the Grypsum Arsenal and did not have any MS operation capability as mentioned above.
The result is an extraordinary monster with MS operational capability and even more firepower than the Birmingham Battleship.
It is a realization of the strongest space battleship I have ever thought of, like the battleship Yamato that can operate aircraft, which has the ability to operate MS in the rights of the "big ship" principle.
The second ship, the General Revil, has been modified in various ways, and the General Revil is more monstrous than the Dogos Gear...
After all, big-boat cannonism is romanticism! Even if its practicality is low, we can't help but yearn for its huge guns and overwhelming frontal firepower!
Even in space, it is fate that the big-boat, big-artillery principle will fade away...
