Belated Battleships (KanColle) [REHOST]

Reader mode
Prototypes are always expensive though. I wonder how the price would scale once they got a full assembly line for stripperbotes instead of building her as a one-off.

Probably not enough to make it cost-effective. There's a reason modern warships all make 30-35 knots flank, and it's not because we can't build a 50+ knot destroyer, it's because it would be impractically expensive to do so.
 
I loved this chapter. Happy and cute and ara ara~

And methinks Wash and/or Gale is going to beat everyone to the punch. Somehow. Because Shipgirl magic. :p

And then Arizona barged in and dragged Shimakaze home so she could have dinner with the family.
 
This is very, very off topic, but also very, very, relevant; mostly because we now know where Jersey and Musashi's respective paychecks are going for the meantime.






For anyone who doesn't want to watch, America challenges Japan to Giant Robot Duel, and Japan accepts. There's even a kickstarter to help get the American bot into fighting shape!

I can't tell if some people have too much money or don't have enough.

The American one was supposed to be a showpiece mostly, while the Japanese one was a tech demonstrator. Then they both added paintball guns, and things slowly spiraled out of hand and into AWESOME. The best part has to be one translated shitpost from Japan:

Article:
Sasuga Americans.

Challenge aside, I just want to say one thing. What the heck, Japan.

The natural order of things was for gigantic robots in Japan duking it out with one another, and the champion gets to go to the US for a challenge...
I've been waiting for it for four years since making the Kuratas, and see where that's gotten us.
Very much upset.

Just hold on Megabot, I'm gonna think of something.


On the plus side, though, this stuff is sport-only. The makers of both have openly admited they're not looking for military contracts or anything, just a good, clean, GIANT ROBOT DUEL. So far, the only things we know about the match rules are that one, safety has to be maintained, and two, the winner has to be the one that can leave the ring under it's own power.

I love how the Americans are like "We both have giants robots. Need we say more."

to be fair, since when in Japanese history has getting into a gunfight with a bunch of Americans ever ended well for them.

You have a compelling point. That said, if this was a Russian Giant Fighting Robot, then the Japanese would be going balls-to-the-walls dakka with more cameras than a Cannon factory in an attempt to pull off Tsushima 2: Robot Boogaloo.
 
And thus began Super Robot Wars XD

But seriously, I can totally see Jersey and Musashi either putting money into something like that or making bets on who would win.

Nah, think of it this way- they get brought on as safety consultants. Their job is to hit it with their hands as hard as they can, and see how the things hold up.

That said, though, the American model is a two-seat unit. Build two of those, and suddenly you have Tracked Taffies. It doesn't matter they're ships- they obviously know its a proto-Gundam, which means its a SPAAAAAAACE! Navy asset.
