The Military Channel Couldn't Explain It, So They Let the Gaming Channel Take Over

"Hello everyone, this is Today's Battleground. I'm your old friend, Yelo Lister. This gentleman next to me is Mr. Victor Rovic, a former squad leader of the Roriel Mecha Unit, who retired due to injury and became a well-known e-sports player. It's an honor for him to be the commentator for this live stream. Although that's what we call it, our specialty is first-person shooter games. This kind of live-fire combat... well, I have to admit, Mr. George's fighting style is more elaborate than many star players..."

Renowned first-person shooter commentator Mr. Yelo finished his opening remarks in a rapid-fire manner, and then immediately began his commentary. Unfortunately, Mr. George hadn't uttered a single word since focusing on driving.

While it's understandable that people don't have time for idle chatter during such tense and exciting moments, only a minority of viewers can truly grasp the rapidly changing battle scenes. To prevent this rare, highly popular video from losing its momentum due to the streamer's silence, the Live Broadcast Platform immediately activated its contingency plan.

It has to be said that when it comes to making money, the platform is professional.

However, the jokes and banter were ultimately just a way to keep the audience's attention from wandering during garbage time. Now that the competition was fierce, the two commentators immediately turned their attention to the holographic video after a brief self-introduction.

"Oh, if I didn't know this was actually a battle taking place in the city, I would have even suspected that some new cheat code had been introduced on the battlefield! Victor, what do you think?"

"How else can you watch it? Forget about war, I wouldn't even dare to go that far in a video game!" Victor chimed in, projecting a holographic image around the spinning, jumping mech's legs, and said in an incredulous tone:

"If you look closely at the feet of this George's Shield, you'll see two things that look like the heels of high heels that are constantly retracting. The technical name for these is Armor Piercing Cone. In early mecha designs, they were used to break open the cockpit after knocking down an enemy mecha. They were commonly known as 'Can Opener'."

"However, with the improvement of mecha armor technology and changes in cockpit design, this thing has actually lost its practical use on the modern battlefield. However, its design is a classic mecha frame structure. If it is modified, the design of the mecha's legs will also have to be changed. Therefore, the existing mecha will still retain this design."

"Although it's rarely used in real life, in games, skilled players often use it to stabilize jump maneuvers, quickly fixing the mech and preventing loss of balance..."

"Dude, you're an esports player, can you use esports jargon? I'm sure the audience wouldn't understand it..."

Yelo, standing nearby, couldn't help but interrupt the esports player who had been brought in as a commentator because of his military background. Victor, hearing this, gave an awkward smile and nodded.

"It's the 'cancel the recovery animation' mechanic after jumping in the game..."

"If you'd said it was SS Maneuver earlier, wouldn't I have understood?" Yelo rolled his eyes, then shouted:

"As we all know, in mech games, when a mech jumps or stops suddenly at high speed, there will be an inertial imbalance, also known as the acceleration after-surge. Skilled players can cancel this inertia by alternating between pressing the's' key twice and switching the camera angle."

"However, if the timing isn't right, it can cause the mech to flip over. Speaking of which Victor seems to be quite adept at using this trick to avoid non-targeting skills. Is this actually usable in real life?"

"Don't flatter me too much. I can only manage two consecutive SS Maneuver, but he's using it like a normal run..." Victor activated the split-screen function, creating a video window that zoomed in on the ground beneath George's Shield, and said:

"The basic principle of this maneuver is, simply put, to drive a fixed stake into place using a nail gun on the bottom of the aircraft the moment it lands, thus forcibly fixing the aircraft in place."

"You might not understand if I just say it like that, but to put it another way, every step he takes is like driving a car at 50 kilometers per hour and crashing into a telephone pole."

"Currently, Macro Skill are the most common legal cheats, but cheats like the SS Maneuver are basically unused. Why? Because even if a machine helps an ordinary player execute the SS Maneuver, the player can't get used to the feeling of accelerating and then suddenly stopping. And currently, the feel of <Battlefield Mech> is only 10% of the feel of real driving."

"Damn, doesn't that mean Mr. George gets into a car accident every time he takes a step? Oh, people in our chat are already calling you a liar!" Yelo glanced at the chat, chuckling as he added fuel to the fire, while Victor calmly replied:

"The SS Maneuver Hack' is basically a jump cheat. You can edit every operation, and there are only seven buttons for commands. If you don't believe me, try it in the game yourself."

After saying that, he skillfully wrote a string of macro code, placed it in the corner of his camera, and then turned his attention back to the live stream.

In that brief moment of delay, the George's Shield in the scene had already bypassed all lead time and predictions, passing through a section of ruins. However, as the wide-angle lens suddenly dimmed and then lit up again, a fully armed George's Shield was already blocking George Augustus's machine.

Distance: five meters.

The enemy has already unleashed all their weapons!

"Oh no! Mr. Augustus's mech only has basic equipment; one hit and it's done for!" Yelo exclaimed in alarm, while Victor shook his head beside him.

"Not necessarily..."

"What... Holy crap!" Before Yelo could finish his retort, George Augustus's gaunt body had already lightly tapped off the head of the George's Shield in front of him, and the weapon he used was just a Tactical Dagger less than a meter long.

"The issue is the weight of the machine. This George's Shield is too confident in its armor and hasn't considered that the two sides' power is roughly equal."

"The full load of the George's Shield weighs 32 tons. Even after some ammunition has been depleted, it still weighs over 20 tons. The minimum configuration weighs only about 10 tons. This nearly three-fold weight difference means that, with the same level of power, at a distance of only five meters, ordinary Kinetic Projectile can only be fired three times. The missiles don't even have time to ignite."

"If a heavy-armored mech intends to ambush a light mech, it should maintain a distance of at least twenty meters from cover and keep the beam locked on. This is the only way to achieve a kill by opening the door. You can check out my knife-fighting highlights for more information."

Victor sounded quite confident, as if he had seen a trick he could pull off himself, but then the flash of light in the upper left corner of the screen made his expression change.

"Missile! It's a decoy!"

"It's too late!"

Victor and Yelo exclaimed in surprise at the same time, but then the gaunt machine did something unbelievable again.

It ripped off its own left arm and threw it forcefully at the missile.

"Boom!"

Smoke and firelight covered the screen, and the next moment, the one-armed giant burst out of the smoke and fire, rolled a few times, and disappeared into cover.

"Um, Mr. Victor... can you do this?"
