Shinji get into the rhombus.

Q1: Assume the blue wind is blowing at an average rate of 12m/s, at a heading of due South. An angel with a mass of 3000kg is heading towards Tokyo and has a heading of 14 degrees north of due West. It has a maximums thrust of 400kps and is 2 miles from the city. How long can Shinji reasonably avoid getting in the robot, keeping the door to his heart shut, if we are to assume the angel has an attack range of 100m? What about an attack range of 300m? Assume the angel can destroy 4% of Tokyo per minute of it's attack. A city survival rate of 70% is required.

Q2: Assume Shinji is too much of a bitch to get in the robot. A backup pilot is available on hand, but has suffered severe injuries. She will operate with a combat effectivness of 40%. A second backup is available, but needs to be imported from Germany. Which pilot would you choose in place of Shinji for the best chance of victory and why?
