Wow.

The guys from Vers sure slack when it comes to defensive capabilities of their important assets. Kats have quite severe weaknesses as well due to various reasons, but landing castles are even worse.

Sure, in space they have these "flowers" closed and are pretty much impossible to damage, but beyond that its only defensive means are missiles and airborne weapons. The Kats are offensive weapons and very ill-suited for defense of such a huge target. Even the laser Kat can't protect the landing castle in New Orleans if it gets attacked from the opposite side of it.

The weaknesses of landing castles are:

1) When deployed on the ground it has no air defense whatsoever. And the Kats stationed there are too few to protect something this huge. That also includes the laser kat since it stays in the same position. It couldn't do shit to prevent an assault against the landing castle from the opposite side.

2) Infiltration. Hard to do, but possible. The guys from Vers have no clue about real combat whatsoever, and even less do their infantry guys have. The security inside the castles is practically nonexistent beyond the personell with guns, but these guns are not really different from the ones used by terrans so once a landing castle is infiltrated, it is pretty much defeated.

3) None of the landing castles have ANY countermeasure in place in case someone with Aldnoah attacks them. ANY of the Kats we have seen till now could take a landing castle down all by itself. I mean sure, all are for the emperor, but it's not like it would be hard to at least outfit it with some laser cannons or something like that. I mean if a realtively small mech can fit two insanely powerful lasers then it should be no problem to mount these on a landing castle.
