Hi gays! Sorry I’ve just found here after my Acepedia fails on new iOS system. Thanks for so much attention for a new pilot’s plot!
Well, the minute I heard that pilot said Trigger did it the first thing came through my mind is “It’s a god dame friendly! Can I even lock on it?!” If we consider the factor that IFF prevents any Osean planes from locking on MG1, we can exclude some possibilities(like Osean friendly fire).
Or......maybe it‘s not proper for us to judge their action in a safe and calm prospective. Just have a look at their situation at that time: Osean is under a full scale invasion, their advanced carrier fleets has been crippled, space elevator captured, and all two Arsenalbirds are now enemy’s super weapon, they have basically lost almost all their military advantages. Their intelligent system has also suffered several failures, Erusea is able to launch attack throughout Osean soil, they’re also able to capture Arsenalbirds. At this point, the Osean’s command chain and intelligent system is under tremendous pressure, they simply can’t think as we do now. There is another factor to be considered, we are discussing while we all know the existence of Erusean UAV that are able to pretend are Osean planes, we all know Trigger is innocent and he is going to go on to be one of the best Ace pilots. But people at that time don’t. They can’t think of something they don’t know, so their 25 days investigation could turned no result. Then, because Trigger’s ability hasn’t showed up yet, they may considered it easier to end this and put him in the prison camp instead of keep using valuable resources of intelligent system.
