Quietly laughing at nothing in particular.
Plenty of better times when your the one doing the building, and it is by WOG to be very attention consuming.

Also hacking could be counterproductive since the SIs (Right and left 'brains' of Gideon020 maybe?) apparently want to keep up the Ghost Fleet idea until they have enough hulls in the water to stop being subtle. Make everyone too scared to go near the coast when a fog bank rolls in even if the Fog ships and drones aren't in position to stop them.

Hacking could also be counterproductive for additional reasons.
A) Code Geass computing is darn advanced for the 1960's.
B) Directorate could have somebody with a Geass that improves their hacking
Maybe because Takao would have noticed when Yamato started to use her as a dress up doll? Or that she end up with an Afro even though she's not connected to Yamato? Or that the AC already used it once so she has a vague idea of what it's like?

But probably not as advanced as Arpeggioverse circa-2050s I bet.
I don't know. Geass powers seem to tend to be directed at other living things rather then machines...
Uh... none of that actually helps the SI figure out how to hack. Except maybe that last one except I don't recall Youko ever getting hacked by the AC, merely some messages.

Which makes sense since they're more or less cheat codes given to a human from the human unconscious. Alternatively the human unconsciousness is a program hooked up into the back of every human's brain and Geass are backdoors with certain pre-programmed effects.

Cg got tech upgrades from akito.
Now they have holographic tablets and phones. Their computers are also similar, with holographic screens and such.
As for the lack of AA, the narrative pretty much allows the story to ignore it. Though I imagine that they do have them, considering that they have tube artillery with an effective range of over 500 km.

Something to exploit!
Wait... what?! Are you sure that isn't a one-off weapon or anything?

Really in the mood for ribs.
All well and good, now stop trying to write the story for me. Youko didn't bother hacking the net because she's clearly busy expressing Flagship Equipment which is a massive strain on a Union Core's CPU output. Yuzuki hasn't been idle in the weeks since arriving at Iwo Jima. Stop comparing me to Yamato.

It's an artillery piece. Britannia had a bunch of them during their war with the EU.

On a different note, was it ever said how long Lloyd Asplund was in Japan developing the Lancelot prior to season 1 of CG? Or why the heck he went to the area while designing that thing in the first place?

I dunno. I was under the impression he went to Japan because of the amount of terrorist activity in the region. The Lancelot could be used in small engagements against enemy forces where Brittania had all the cards, so even if something went wrong the unit could be easily retrieved and the opponents wouldn't get away. Then Zero happened.

In all fairness all that advanced holographic stuff explicitly was EU stuff.
Blood of the Samurai and Japanese Liberation Front both use AA weapons onscreen.

What size do you reckon those are, I'd peg them as at least 40 Mike-Mikes.In all fairness all that advanced holographic stuff explicitly was EU stuff.

Honestly, no frame of reference is given.

And they never seemed able to hit the Knightmares at all. Show had to keep the mini-mecha as the ultimate weapon on the battlefield of course.
So he'll be there to present the Lancelot as a 'Test bed of the technologies that will enable Brittania to push back the Fog and reclaim the seas that are rightfully ours1'.He is there when I say he is there.
And at the moment it's unveiled publicly, a Fog submarine pops up out of the nearby river and fires a big ass harpoon + cord which spears the Knightmare. The Lancelot is then yanked off the platform and into the cargo hold that just appeared in the sub's bow before the I-400 does a 180o before blasting back out to sea, stolen prize in hand.
Because hey, research fodder for the machines. And trolling the Brits never gets old.
1. He doesn't actually care about that aspect but the slogans do get the investors poring in.

Euro Britannia had them.
I really doubt Britannia is THAT far behind of the EU, considering that they were able to sustain war with them for nearly a decade. Not to mention that major companies in the EU also exist in Britannia
EDIT: bot to mwntion that Euro-Britannia is essentially a vassal of Britannia. Thus, any tech that Euro-Britannia has would also be in the possession of Britannia.

I would *almost* feel sorry for them if the Holy Britannian Empire weren't so deliciously evil

While the weapons do look like AA turrets, and certainly had things like the elevation for it, I should point out that we only ever saw them shooting at Knightmare frames... ie: ground targets.
While chances are the admiral was some kind of a douche, the reporter lady and her crew were probably just... decent people. We do know those exist. Shirley's dad was one of them. Most people in life are pretty apathetic about their government and generally just concerned with getting on with living. One could describe them as collateral damage given that they just so happened to be on the naval base and the SI was mainly concerned with levelling Pearl, not the entirety of Honolulu.

This is canon from what I understand as Milly pulls that kind of insanity all the time.
Re-purposed weapons maybe?

There weren't any air targets on site. We do see air forces in the shots of the initial Brittanian invasion, as well as during the Black Rebellion (Gawain is hilariously OP, btw). It makes sense that there would be AA weapons to deal with that sort of thing.

It seems like it, scrounged up AA repurposed for defense probably.

Would make sense.
Hate to kill your buzz, but while chances are the admiral was some kind of a douche given that the higher ranks of the Britannian Empire are all douches*, the reporter lady and her crew were probably just... people. We do know those exist. Shirley's dad was apparently some kind of mid-ranking nobility and he was a decent human being. Most people in life are pretty apathetic about their government and generally just concerned with getting on with living. Just bad luck they decided to visit Pearl when the SI needed to level it.
By the way, calling it now: the Fog is going to inadvertently wind up killing Shirley's dad.
*Although, to be fair, once you reach the upper ranks in any country you are talking about men and women who generally have screwed over a lot of people to get and stay where they are. Power corrupts and all that. I think they even did some of those Milgram-esque morality experiments with jobs as a variable and they found that people whose job involves more power over others were more likely to make immoral actions then those whose jobs had less power over others.
