What do you mean? I hate Okawaran design philosophies. They're just
ugly. Last I checked, Kaempfer and Dogas are Izubichi.

Not true. The Dom Tropen and Sniper II are logical derivations from
existing designs. The Kaempfer is completely new. In engineering,
such things are very rare, and in war time, it's rarer still. That,
plus the way the Kaempfer looks just doesn't seem to fit with the
Zeon design philosophy.
It's unfortunate that Izubuchi's Gundam designs just so happen to not
be what I like. Nothing against him, since the AV-98 is one of my
favorite mechanical designs, but the way most people gush about the
Dogas and the Kaempfer makes me wonder why.
