Its high cruise altitude and fast speed made it a very difficult target for Zeon conventional and mobile suit forces.

Cheap, easy to mass-produce and capable of carrying large payload, the Fly Manta was a well-rounded but more-or-less effective weapon against Zeon forces before the introduction of Federation's own mobile suits.

The awesome sight of incoming Fly Manta herds was often the source of panic among Zeon ground forces. The Depp Rog heavy bomber was designed to carry out longer-ranged tactical and strategic bombing. While excellent in terms of payload capacity, cruising altitude, operational range, cruising speed, the Depp Rog delivered a heavier payloads than that of the lighter Fly Manta.

The Don Escargot attack aircraft was initially designed for ASW operations upon the Federation's Himalaya -class aircraft carriers the so-called "Whales of Federation" by Zeon soldiers.

It had folding wings and was capable of STOL , and was armed with 4 anti-air machine gun and large payloads of bombs and missiles. The Don Escargot was widely stationed at ports, coastal bases and surface fleets against Zeon submarine forces.

The name "Don Escargot " came from the aircraft's snail -like appearance. The fighter itself could transform from plane mode into a roughly rectangular block, in which it formed an interchangeable torso module for the RX Gundam , RX Guncannon and RX Guntank. Developed by the Hervic Company the designer of the FF-6 TIN Cod and FF-S3 Saberfish fighters , the Core Fighter's primary purpose was to protect the combat data from the Gundam's learning computer system, serving as an escape vehicle in the event of the mobile suit being disabled or destroyed.

With thrust vectoring and VTOL ability, the Core Fighter also operated as a fast reconnaissance aircraft for large carrier ships such as the White Base. The aircraft's Core Block concept was used in many later suits, and was used as late as U. The unit was basically a Core Fighter combined with a heavy-duty booster module, greatly improving its speed, firepower, armor, operational stamina.

Armed with two powerful mega-particle cannons , two dual-barrel 25 mm Vulcan cannons, two four-round missile launchers and an impressive payload of bombs, the Core Booster could serve both as a high-altitude air superiority fighter and a tactical bomber.

In space combat, the Core Booster served as a serious support unit of the mobile assault squadrons for Federation warships, most notably the Pegasus assault carrier White Base. With the advent of the Minovsky scattering system, the Earth Federation Forces found themselves without a reliable line of communication through areas saturated with Minovsky particles.

The Dragonfly ferry aircraft served as a fast communication, courier and reconnaissance aircraft that allowed communication through areas of Minovsky jamming. Known to Zeon as the "Commu", this small propeller-driven aircraft was of very light construction and had a large wing surface, and the Federation's superior aeronautical technologies allowed it to be classified as a STOL -type aircraft, able to use very short runways such as the deck of a Big Tray land battleship. The small patrol aircraft known as the Dish served multiple functions for the Federation Forces, including EWAC , electronic warfare and transport.

The large radome that made up the central portion of the Dish's fuselage served as powerful long-range radar, although its effectiveness was greatly reduced by the advent of the Minovsky particle scattering system. Dish aircraft often assisted in long-range target identification, increasing the effectiveness of Federation Forces troop deployment. Since Dish aircraft were not designed for combat, they were armed with only a small machine gun for defense.

To correct this problem, the Earth Federation designed the G-Modules as various support parts for the Gundam in the form of G-Parts A the main cockpit and caterpillar treads armed with a double barrel mega particle cannon above the pilot and missile launchers stored in the nose and B the four engine fuselage. The G-Modules were only present in the original anime series. In subsequent movie and game adaptations, the G-Modules were scrapped in favor of the more realistic Core Booster design.

Magella Attack used a powerful mm cannon for their main purposes. The Magella Attacks also used a 3-barrelled 35 mm machine gun for attacks against infantry, the Earth Federation 's Type 61 Tank , and enemy mobile suit forces.

The Magella Attack also has a very large canopy-style cockpit, very similar to fighter aircraft , which is very unusual for a tank but gives the men inside a more open view of the battlefield. The Zeon designers gave the Magella Attack tanks a detachable cockpit, called the Magella Top, so the pilot could continue fighting in case the tank's body was destroyed.

In reality, the Magella Top was little more than a poorly qualified escape vessel with a cannon, lacking the fuel to stay afloat for more than a few mere minutes. Magella Attack tanks, as other weapons that preceded mobile suits, were ineffective in the age of mobile suits during the One Year War.

They were slower and their cannon had a slow rate of fire compared to the weapons used by mobile suits. The detachable top design severely limits the turret 's movements, to the point that Magella Attacks almost exclusively relied on maneuvering its tracks for targeting, much like a casemate assault gun.

Lastly, their 35 mm machine gun was just too small to be effective against a mobile suits with either titanium armor or lunar titanium alloy armor. However, unlike some other out-of-date weapons employed during the One Year War , the Magella actually scored victories against mobile suits, since its mm main gun was capable of destroying enemy mobile suits with a well-placed shot, even mobile suits with lunar titanium alloy would be destroyed or suffer heavy damage from a direct hit.

This weapon was basically a jury-rigged hand-held cannon for the Zeon's MS Zaku Is and MS Zaku IIs , when they could not get a hold of their standard mm Zaku Bazookas, ammo for their bazookas, or when they needed the additional punch of this weapon. Finally, Zeon engineers also found another use for the base of the Magella Attack tanks when they fused it with the torso of a Zaku. The result was the Zaku Tank , which came as a blessing to many Zeon forces who were lacking mobile suits.

Since they were made of destroyed units and spare parts, abandoned Magella bases were more than welcome for their construction. These units also proved that the 35 mm machine gun could be replaced by other equipment according to the situation, such as a dozer blade or missile launchers, as well as being used for engineering purposes.

Zeon's Gaw atmospheric attack carrier could carry eight Dopp fighters and was its most common operational platforms. The Dopp is superior to other aircraft in turns of agility, but suffers badly in turns of cruise airspeed , operational range, rate of climb due to its poor aerodynamic design — a common symptom of the traditionally space-bound Zeon's lack of design knowledge in atmospheric air combat.

These shortcomings lead to a significant tactical disadvantage, a fact that the Federal aviators soon took advantage of and came up with tactics negating Dopp's agility advantage. Due to its high fuel consumption rate, the Dopp had to rely heavily on secured ground depots, the vulnerable Gaw carriers or a Dodbay class land battleship for refueling between operations.

As a result, Zeon never gained air supremacy against the Earth Federation Air Forces throughout their time on Earth, a circumstances that allowed Federation to hold back Zeon advances for over 9 months with obsolete conventional weapons.

With the introduction of the Federation's MS, the Dopp became considered hopelessly obsolete. The twin 20 mm Vulcan guns are far too weak to pierce a mobile suit 's armor, and only the missiles from the 6-tube missile launchers could pose some threat to a mobile suit. They were smaller and faster than Zeon's Zaku II and were quite difficult to shoot down by ground units due to Minovsky interference.

Dopps were more likely to be deployed attacking slow-and-big targets with hit-and-run tactics, such as poorly guarded Federation ground bases, Big Tray class land battleship, Himalayas -class aircraft carrier , and the White Base. However, their efficacy throughout the War was very poor due to Federation's absolute superiority in conventional air-to-air and anti-air warfares.

It was equipped with eight frontal missile launchers. However it was given a more important role as an aerial sub-flight support craft, allowing a mobile suit to ride on top of it into the battlefield and perform airborne combat.

Later on, an upgraded model known as the Dodai II was created. Armed only with a two-barreled tail gun , it had better flight capabilities and was designed to make sure the MS had even greater maneuverability than the original Dodai.
