At 165kph (ground speed of Gundam), the 3-sec rule says one MS should

(HGUC) scale, that's 95.5cm. Bottomline: the ~5cm gap on the HGUC
stands violates the 3-sec rule by 1900%.
Um...Doc, why would you apply said rule to mobile suits? The three
second rule is meant for automobiles that brake in predictable
fashions, and is based on things like the coefficient of friction
between rubber and asphault, the presence or absence of power brakes,
driver reaction times, and so on and so forth. Applying it to MSs
which are slowed by braking thrusters and governed almost entirely by
computerized systems is loony. Different vehicle, different
situations, different rule. Dunno what it would be, but you'd have to
script it according to the variables involved, not those for automobiles.
