But the point of bringing up Germany is that it *does* work in

entirely appropriate for an SF story set in the future! Your rationale
for disliking the Kaempfer is at odds with reality.
If you think it's ugly or just don't like it for some reason, fine.
But don't pretend it's any more out of place than any other MS design,
because it's not. The only problem with it is that it was far too
advanced given the MS designs of the era (but who knows, the Germans
had jets for years before they made it to the West, and only failed to
capitalize on them because he was an idiot. Same thing might have been
going on with the tech that gave rise to the Kaempfer).
I agree 100%. And the Kaempfer wasn't all that great once it was done
with its disposable weapons, right? So, great for surprise shock attack
but not unbeatable or overly advanced in general, just really advanced
for that one small role.
