Even if it has an S2 engine you have units like the Dynames that can snipe from miles away, or presumably out in space, the 00 with a quantum field burst, Turn-a that can consume it's armor and accoutrements, God that can just make 30 copies of itself and beat it around the place and so on.

Generally speaking, not a chance. There are a couple of exceptions, with the vast majority of contenders being from G Gundam which operates on kung fu magic, but most mobile suits simply don't carry around the firepower to deal with an AT Field.

If you have trouble reconciling the difference in power scale, think of it this way. Gundams are built to fight against mobile suits, what are effectively walking tanks with a fancy power source and occasionally some beam weapons. With a couple of gimmicky exceptions, all mobile suits work pretty much the same, the only real progression is in speed or firepower. Gundams do pretty well in the role for which they were built.

Evangelions are built to fight against Angels, which are giant eldritch monsters whose powers and tactics vary wildly from beast to beast. Angels regularly survive direct hits from weapons of mass destruction shown to be capable of vaporizing mountains into craters, can effortlessly tank hundreds of explosive shells firing at them in waves of fire without ever even noticing them, and their power ranges from 'hyper megaparticle cannon you can fire a couple of times a second' to 'is a universe'.
Evangelions do reasonably well in the role for which they were built.


I'm not trying to give Gundam the short end of the stick here, but Evas are simply built to tangle with a much more dangerous class of enemy. There isn't much that a Gundam can bring to the field that an Angel hasn't already done. Teleporting? Done it. Shapeshifting? Done it. Nanomachines? Been there. Regenerates back to full health unless you destroy a single specific part of it? Thats every Angel.

Any Gundam without a special gimmick is just fucked by default, by the way. AT Fields don't have anything to fear from the vast majority of handheld beam weaponry that Gundam can field, and most of the Evas defenses are designed under the assumption that the AT Field will be too busy neutralizing the enemy to offer defense anyway

Really only a psycoframe suit with a decent newtype in the seat could do it. Space wizard magic the AT field away.

Then pretty much any UC era weapon could rip apart an Eva.
>>
>>14302617

It should be worth mentioning that not all positron weapons are created equal. Even in Eva, the Operation Yashima Positron Cannon was especially large and overcharged in order to be the one hit kill weapon it was. Nerv had other positron weapons that proved nowhere near as effective, and even the big gun failed to kill Arael (presumably because it was too far away and the beam lost too much power reaching it to be effective).

So even within the realm of Positron weapons, its far from a sure thing.

Eh... I REALLY don't think you want to bring a Newtype into the fight against an Eva.

The AT Field is a tangible manifestation of the soul and will of the Eva/Angels. Even an especially powerful Newtype simply doesn't have a soul big enough to compare to that sort of raw power. I can only imagine a newtype trying to make contact with an Eva, or the pilot inside of it, is going to be like a drop of water throwing itself into the ocean... or a kid grabbing a downed power line.

AT BEST, nothing happens. At worse, the psychic connection blows the newtype's brain out of their nostrils so hard the air bag goes off. The Eva is still a type of Angel, and mental contact with the Angels in the show never ended well.
>>
>>14301354
Several Gundams would put up a fight, but the evas are too powerful. I haven't read any manga though. But the robot is your mom thing pretty much means auto win in anime and the only one with that kind of devotion is Setsuna
>>
>>14302669
They don't have to try and connect, and if multiple psycho frame units worked together to create a psychofield, they could probably change the laws of physics in that area and disrupt the AT field.
>>
>>14301338
I'd bet that Dynames, 00 Raiser, Quan[T], Turn A, Double X, or Unicorn could do it.

I haven't seen G-Reco yet but I hear the G-Self gets some kind of fucked up op weapon at some point, thought I'm not sure on the details so I can't really guess how an AT Field would do.

Also, maybe I'm just forgetful, but do we ever get to gauge how strong an Eva's AT Field is, compared to an Angel's? The only time I can think of where an Eva uses its AT Field as a shield is Asuka in EoE. And then there are Angels like Ramiel and Zeurel who have stupidly strong AT Fields, while other Angels like Matariel don't seem to have much of a field at all, and the Evas themselves getting their limbs blown off all the time with no AT Field defense. So I don't know why people in these threads always automatically assume every Eva's AT Field is just as strong as Ramiel's.
>>
>>14302651
>not all positron weapons are created equal
This. The fact that it was a positron-based weapon doesn't matter in the slightest. The field could have been pierced with any weapon capable of focusing that amount of power onto a small area. The reason they used the positron cannon in Eva is because it was the only weapon they could find with that kind of power output, not because there's some kind of special interaction between AT fields and positrons.

>>14303108
>I haven't seen G-Reco yet but I hear the G-Self gets some kind of fucked up op weapon at some point, thought I'm not sure on the details so I can't really guess how an AT Field would do.

The G-Self's final upgrade is Photon Torpedoes that burn away anything they touch. I'm not sure how that would factor in with an AT Field though. Also I don't think the Turn A's Moonlight Butterfly can harm an angel either, since they aren't necessarily technological based.

Not all AT Fields are created equal, either; they made a point of telling us that Pyramid Head's field that they rolled the positron gun out for was stupidly strong.

Eva AT Field strength fluctuates wildly in relation to the Synch Ratio of the pilot.

The AT Field isn't generated by the pilot or their will, its a natural ability o f the Eva because it is an Angel. However, the pilot can only access a limited portion of that power. The more in synch with the Eva they are, the more of its AT Field they can use as if it were their own.

Against other beings with AT Fields, the AT Field of the Evas doesn't seem very impressive. The Evas are often in the weaker position, sometimes needing to use multiple Evas just to neutralize the AT field of a single powerful Angel. Even when they are on equal ground, the net result is that the Eva uses up its field cancelling the AT field of the Angel, so basically neither of them have any special defense and the fight turns into rocket tag.

The only time we ever saw an Eva have an AT field so strong that they could negate an enemy AT Field and still be well defended themselves was Berserk Unit 01 at 400% synch ratio. Berserk unit 01 has power to spare, because its using 100% of its AT Field, not just whatever portion of it that Shinji can manage.

So I would say that a fully awakened Eva is actually more powerful than an Angel (which makes since, because they are directly based on Adam/Lilith) but due to imperfect control systems the pilots often are only running on a fraction of that power.

Which is enough to still be effective against other beings with equal or sometimes greater AT Fields. Against enemies like Gundam that have no AT Field at all, they are functionally invulnerable barring some very powerful, very specialized weaponry that Gundam has had no reason to ever develop.
>>
>>14303157
> Maybe UC considering how inconsistent the tech level gets

You can say that again.

The mountain melting scene from 8th MS team always rankles me because the power source of the Apsalas is just a pair of perfectly normal fucking DOM reactors. We have seen those reactors explode and release not even 1/10th of the power needed to do that sort of harm. So the real special power of the Apsalas was, apparently, to take a power source and then multiple its electrical output by 1000000x using only the magic of space aids.

Why would you even need the Big Zam if any chucklefuck can take two mobile suits, cram them together, and get a weapon that can shoot a hole into one side of the moon and out the other like shoving a toothpick through an olive?

Arguably yes. Newtype powers is all about bridging the gap between people while Eva AT fields come from the isolation people feel.

>>
>>14306626

You know, I wonder something...

When not in space, can Gundam's actually outrun an Eva? It feels like the span of distance that an Eva crosses during battle are much larger than two mobilesuits fighting.

The mobilesuits usually have thrusters, but given the height difference an Eva covers a lot more ground in a single step and we have even seen them run at supersonic speeds when they need to.

The mobilesuit obviously has a longer operation time, and can cross more total distance that way, but I'm not sure that they could actually escape an Eva chasing after them without a large head start.

And before you mention flying, we know the Evas can be equipped with weapons that can target enemies in low orbit. Trying to fly away from the Eva sacrifices cover, which would be their best defense against anything with that kind of range.

I'm guessing AT fields would block assimilation so that big Fafner advantage is out.

Weapons and armor tech would be comparable factoring in a bit of NERV superscience

Thats an absurdly powerful I field... but its still an I field.

I Fields work on beam weapons because they are both minovsky based tech. One repels the other. You can fire literally any other weapon through an I field and the I field wont matter in the slightist.

Since none of the Eva tech is minovsky based, that trick doesn't really matter, as impressive as it is.

Turn-A had i-fields that worked on stuff besides Minovsky tech. I don't remember if it happened in the show, but it only uses the i-field once or twice so it shouldn't be hard to check. It's in the manuals at the very least, though whether you take that as gospel is up to yourself, if it is manual only.

There are ridiculous gundam way above what Eva units can do

>b-b-but muh AT field

That's fucking bullshit, they can be shitted on by a strong enough attack.

You demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding as to how AT Fields work.

This isn't SRW where there is a magic number that if your attack does more damage then the AT field just poofs away.

In series, the only reliable way to get past an AT field is to bring it down with another, stronger, AT field.

Even the grand positron cannon prototype didn't work because it was 'stronger', it worked because it was focusing as much power as possible into a very, very small point all at once. You could multiple that same offensive power by 10x in a thicker beam, and the fact that its a thicker beam means it would fail.

This is a weapon design that nothing in Gundam meets. Gundam makes more powerful weapons by making them delivery more plasma over a larger area to hit as many targets at once. This will be 0% effective against an AT field, because no matter how much beam plasma it brings to the table its playing fundamentally the wrong game.

This is why dropping nukes on Angels does jack shit, but the positron weapon can punch through, even though the energy released during the bomb drops is far greater.

The G-arcane, G-self perfect pack, and a few others have lasers
In the UC they have laser-proof paint or something that was around from before the one year war which is why they mostly use particle beams or really big lasers

There is actually a weapon in Gundam that does that: the VSBR, which can strength and weaken the strength or size of it's beam, including making a narrow beam with higher power to penetrate shields.

>this is why dropping nukes on angels does jack shit
Did you not watch the first episode? Or the other episode where Rei uses a nuke to attempt to destroy an angel
And also, if you read the op, you would notice the fight is between a gundam and an evangelion unit, not a gundam and an angel

>Or the other episode where Rei uses a nuke to attempt to destroy an angel
The angel quickly recovers from the 1st episode N2 mine, and in your second example it does no damage at all.

I did read the OP. Its just that we more often see what an AT Field is capable of when the Angels are using it, because the nature of the Evangelions is to expend their field as soon as possible to try and neutralize the enemy AT field, not giving them much opportunity to show what they are able to do.

For example, we see multiple times that an Evangelion can survive being at the center of massive explosive blasts unharmed, like the massive explosions caused by Angels blowing up which don't seem to hurt the Evas much or at all (see the end of the Sachiel, Israfel and Sahaquiel fights) and Misato even says that if a nuke gets dropped on the base the pilots in their Evas are the safest out of all of them.

Sahaquiel didn't take any damage to speak of from the nuke, though it did grow a new head in response. The only time an N2 mine was remotely effective against an Angel was Israfel, which bombing the shit out of it reduced its mass by 30% but still failed to kill it, and THAT was a special case because the Angel had to spread its AT field between 2 bodies.

Rei got fucked up by the N2 mine she was carrying because she spent her AT Field getting the bomb past Zeruel's AT Field. She was basically unprotected from the blast as a result, and even then her armor and the Eva's biology was enough that Unit 00 wasn't totally obliterated, just rendered nonfunctional.

Those weren't nukes. They were N2 mines. N2 standing for "Non-Nuclear" with the idea being that they can make a big explosion almost as powerful as a low-yield nuke with none of the fallout. They were basically just big-ass conventional bombs.

It should go w ithout saying N2s aren't nukes. Even Fat Man and Little Boy had bigger blast radiuses than N2s
>>
Even Xabungle could beat an Eva.

Antimatter bombs, actually. stored antimatter generated using the same tech as the positron cannon.

So a smaller blast radius, and no fallout, but anything that is at the center of the blast gets hit much, much harder than a nuke. N2 mines focus on power on a small area rather than spreading it out over a city.

I know they arent actually nukes, but they are functionally the same
And if say, an operation british zaku brought its nuclear bazooka to fight the first angel, they wouldnt have needed the evas
