Gato changed the colony's course - instead of hitting Jaburo, Gato set it so that it'd hit the North American Granary.

Cima demonstrated that - I-field barrier generator aside, the GP-03D would have a hard time defending against enemies from above. As for the rear, the GP-03D would've just run faster and circle back.

Based on the Mecha Domain's specs, the GP-03D can pull an acceleration of around 5+Gs, while the Neue Ziel can only pull an acceleration of 4+Gs (almost 5G though) - which means, relatively, the GP-03D is faster, but the Neue Ziel is more agile. Another one is that the GP-03D has 6 huge thrusters and some smaller thrusters, but the Neue Ziel has *loads* of small, medium, and large (if you can call them that) thrusters situated everywhere, making it more agile.
While the linear seat does make the GP-03D able to handle threats from any side, it's always up to the pilot to do such decisions on whether to disregard new data such as new enemies on any given flank or give notice to it.

En route to the Lar Kailum from Von Braun City, Chein rode in an auxillary seat that was put up in front of the main seat that Amuro was in and between the cockpit data panel. However, when they came upon Lezun Schneider's Geara Doga squadron attacking Londo Bell (inadvertedly dragging the civilian shuttle that carried Quess, her father, and Hathaway), Amuro asked Chein to disembark from the auxillary seat and get behind the main seat, so that Amuro won't be encumbered with the controls.

maybe the GM Custom was named so because it can have pilot-specific comforts such as a softer seat, etc...?

wasn't Camille brain-fried at the end of Z Gundam?

...and as an addition, for Kou, there's no such thing as permanent body part - he treats them all as a shield. Look what he did with the GP-01Fb's foot as he was about to be stabbed in their duel after Gato nukes the Fed's Naval Review.

IIRC correctly Kou never exposed his back - he'd dash backwards to evade Gato's vulcan fire.
