Top 8 Zeon Aces of the One Year War

[Music] hey everyone Kakarot 197 again in today's video we'll be having a look at the top eight aces of zeon and justice with my video on the top eight aces of the Federation this list is purely based on numbers and not on their skills or how much higher the community like them on number eight we have first lieutenant Grannis Escott scoring 103 mobile suit and 12 ship kills a record that made in the top scoring ship ace of birds sighs he got these piloting a new commander type and the deadly buy drove at the Battle of a bow coup he would use his buy drove in the defense of any fields eventually meeting his fate at the hands of gun immunity 4 & 5 he is also believed to a sword eat any side 5 Shoals own on December 5th and a Gallagher key however is not clear which type II Flores is the first deployment of the standard gelgoog was on December 8th it is possible that he either had a wireless 14 galvez prototype or some kind of pre-production unit the operation was to defend the construction of a frontline base that would become the predecessor to the garland of thorns may divide in the loss fleet number 7 is Captain Robert Gilliam scoring 115 mobile suit and 6 ship kills with his Agha to Commander type z'gok II Zaku high mobility type R 2 and gelger commander type he was also the test pilot for one of the big rough units but at the Battle of a Baku he chooses gelgoog over the big rough leaving it for someone else to pilot he was part of Zeon's mobile assault force and his personal colors were blue and yellow he is also said to have participated in the defense operation on December 5th in the start fire show zone and a gelgoog and since his records show him flying a Gallagher commander type it is most likely that he flew and why I'm escorting a group prototype which was later re-designated as an MS 14 as Gallagher commander type number six is Lieutenant Colonel Gabby hazard scoring 138 Mobile Suit and to ship kills with Azure to Commander tide and Zakhar to high mobility Type R to some sources also in the that he piloted a Zaku one commander type and Zaku to FS commander type by because these amid his awkward - commander time it is likely that there was some kind of a mix-up he was talented enough to receive one of the fours or two higher ability type our two machines whose performance was formidable enough to be compared to a gal sands beam technology hence why these machines were extremely coveted by many young pilots at the time Gabby hazard would presumably pilot his until the end of the one year war all the reports also exists at these sorties in a gelgoog high mobility tide during the battle of our queue given the performance of the our - the chaotic nature of the battle and the previous mix-up in his locker - commander time this could again be a mix-up his personal colors were black and brown additionally on December 12th he served as an escort for Gavin's popular class supply ship in lunar orbit only days before they weren't in character - Gundam number 5 is captain shin Matson Naga scoring 141 mobile suit and six ship kills with Zacuto early production type Zaku to f-type Zaku to FS commander type Zaku to high mobility test type and gal goo Haider a childhood friend of vice admiral dozle zabi commander of Zeon space attack force he was tasked with the protection of bunch eight he colonies during Operation British later at the Battle of Lucian Matsunaga would again shine earning Buddhist a status and his nickname white wolf of Solomon a nickname that referred to his base of operations ratted in the battle and made it famous as in a twist of fate he would not be present at Solomon for the actual battle of Solomon on September 10th you would participate in the nasaw the Luna 2 launched from Salomon throughout the war he would also often serve as a bodyguard for ghazals Xabi fighting side by side with a big Matt himself after the war Shin Matsunaga went missing but according to rumors he survived and even joined the a huge number four is Captain Eric Mansfield scoring 156 Mobile Suit ship kills in his locker one Zaku to Eva's commander type soccer to high mobility test type and gal goo commander type ask captain of Zeon's home Defense Corps who was tasked with defending Zeon homeland site 3 because of this is personal insignia board a course Griffin however at the end of the war he would be transferred to fight in the Battle of a bower q on October 15th he will also serve as an escort for castelia zanzibar as she headed for Earth number 3 is Major Johnny ridin scoring 185 Mobile Suit and six ship kills in his soccer too early production type Zaku to f-type Zaku to high mobility type r to Galaga cannon and gal gooo high mobility type assigned to Casilla zombies mobile assault forces johnny ride in previous capabilities at the Battle of bloom and earned a nickname as enlightening it is said that his fame would have even rivaled that of the red comet himself if he hadn't been ordered to retreat something that would continue to haunt him for the rest of the war his personal colors for black and red awfully close to sharks colors so would often be mistaken for the more famous red comet despite actually achieving more kills than him his love for castelia was shown in the form of a unicorn on his Aguas elbow the legendary creature that was the symbol for a greys and purity later in the war he would be chosen by castelia to become part of the elite chimera court and upgraded from his legendary soccer to higher mobility type r2 duty state-of-the-art Galco higher mobility type at the Battle of a Baku he would use this machine to wreak havoc upon the Federation forces in an attempt to protect the Celia zombies escape route not knowing that at that point she had already been assassinated by sharp during this battle the federation also offered an immediate full rank promotion to anyone who could shoot down johnny ridin a true testament to his skills as mentioned in a previous video about federation aces he also faced off against fellow ace pilot heinz bear and won originally it was thought that johnny riding was killed and he even posthumously promoted because of that but recently it has comfortable like that he did survive the one year war albeit with memory lost due to oxygen deprivation number two East Lieutenant Colonel nor did Bauer scoring 191 Mobile Suit and for ship kills in his all co2 commander type Zaku cannon Zaku to high mobility test type and rig dom - he is known to have participated in the battle of solomon and operation Rubicon on December 18th where he provided covering fire for the Cyclops teams infiltration of side six and now for Zeon's ace of aces Lieutenant Colonel Brenna fogs despite being an old type he was not just Zeon's top scoring ace but the top ace of the entire one year war with 193 mobile suit and eight ship kills in his Zaku to f-type Zaku to f2 Zaku to high mobility test type and gal goo cannon unlike other Zeon ASUS who often painted their machines in their personal colours Brenna preferred using the standard color his insignia was a double bladed lab res when Master Hawk written over it my best guess is that this is in reference to his extreme accuracy which also earned him the nickname one-shot killer during his combat duty he reportedly fought against fellow ace pilot tennis a young the Federation's ace of aces if only there was any footage of the battle between these two legendary pilots with a record like this he was one of the most famous pilots of the one year war making it into the Federation's military academy history books along with all row rain an honorable legato to wrap up this video I have one important footnote about Zeon's Mobile Suit kills throughout history many countries have a different systems with different accuracies of crediting skills for example during World War one German kills had to be confirmed by locating the wreckage or by independent witnesses whereas bridge skills were tallied in a much more informal and therefore also looser way resulting in many discrepancies this is relevant to the Zeon tally because the total amount of Mobile Suit kills claimed by just a Zeon aces alone exceeds the total amount of mobile suits produced by the federation according to some sources now there are three additional factors that could have also contributed to the much higher Zeon kill counts vs. Federation kill accounts the first is that being on the defensive and our number two gives one ample opportunities to score kills the second is a possible difference in pilot doctrine during world war two allied pilots were often rotated or promoted to a less carbon-intensive posts or became instructors whereas axis pilots would generally keep flying until the very end finally a different tactics could also play a very important role here in world war ii german pilots seem to favor picking off the grunts first resulting in more kills whereas soviet pilots were tasks with prioritizing commanders resulting in less kills but with more impact and that's all for Zeon's top ASUS be sure to leave a comment down below with who your favorite Zeon ace is and why and if you want to see some more aces I also made a video about the Federation's top aces linked on screen right now and if you like this kind of content and be sure to stick around and I'll see you all next time [Applause] [Music]
