Shin operating vf-0 and max question

[milty66]

I read on the toy boards about the f-14 that shin and edgar pilot....and someone said that these models ( mac zero) incorporate overtechnology....now, is that the reason for why he is able to semi pilot the vf-0 when he comandeers it? Also is there any documented history about Max before he joins the UN Spacy and where his skills are first recognized?

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

naw the F-14 is acombination of F14 A sensors with F14 D engines.

no over technology.

He was able to command VF-0 by rage. As you can see he was only doing alright in fighter mode in ep 2.

also.

no documented info on max but from what i think he mngiht hav just been some un assuming computer nerd.

[milty66]

Yeah....i see....but he still kept balance in gerwalk mode...strange...and was able to fire the gunpod.(unless it's the equivalent of standard guns)

[Macross_Fanboy]

Firing the weapons on a Valkyrie is still the same as firing the weapons on anyother jet. Besides, the VF-0s computer systems help keep balance, and it was all rage that got the Valkyrie up and blasting as SD Kai 7.0 mentioned.

Actually whoever said that was correct. There is a tad bit of Overtechnology in the F-14s used in M0.

However, to what extent is used is a complete mystery. And most likely, it's nothing to scream and shout about.

Maybe Max had alot of sim-time in Falcon 4 and Strike Fighters Project 1

Nah dude, he played LOMAC.

I always remember from the TV series Roy telling Hikaru to go into Gerwalk mode because it operates more like a plane than Battroid mode.
