Red Baron responding to orders to camouflage his plane: “I don’t want them to be surprised, I want them to be scared”
Such a badass quote.
; ) and let me tell you... they where scared.
The GUNDAM Principle: it's red, therefore it must be three times faster and piloted by an Ace.
Lol I might try into that one day
MetaNerdz Lore CHAR!!!!!
Char: *appears in Star Wars* You underestimate my ability
Tarkin: It's not the Starfighter, it's the pilot!
Red goes faster. I think I heard a big green person thing say that...
Fun fact the Red Baron's squad was called the Flying Circus because all of the aircraft were brightly colored.
Also the Red Baron painted his aircraft red so his would know who shot them down.
They did that so they could be identified by ally and foe alike. In Aircombat of WW1 there was no camouflage so they made it easyer not accidentaly being shot by friendly fire. And only a small portion of the Red Barons kills were done in his Red Fokker Dreidecker most he achieved in anothere plane before he got his most famous plane.
I heard they were called that cause they up and moved with the front line, carrying their planes and stuff along with them like a traveling circus.
Red color is easy target in space
WW pilot's kills had to be confirmed and the red color scheme made it very easy to confirm kills.
@@theleopard8755 that makes no sense
damn, I immediately thought "wait, like the Red Baron? " when you said "there must be a lot of red paint in the Unknown Regions"
Star Wars sure loves to implement Germanys military history into the bad guys doesn´t it?
Krosis Seyn Not necessarily. Star Wars is heavily based on WW2 era events, people, designs, and other stuff.
@@north7764 just saying. most german influences seem to go to the Empire *cough* Hux´s speech *cough* (as one example)
@@seynkrosis9658 The First Order is basically Space Prussia...
The Empire is based on the US though. Star Wars is a Vietnam protest.
“Bad Guys”
Everyone knows that red goes faster. Also I think Snoke managed to get a huge discount on buying bulk red paint on clearance.
Isn’t it obvious? Palatine disguised the rallying point for the imperial remnant as a red paint factory, and they had a pile of the stuff left over when the first order took over
DA RED PAINT MAKES DA FLY BOYZ GO FASTA! DAS GUD ORK THINKIN'!

LOL
The Red Baron was an Ork? I don't remember that...
Strange, that doesn’t look like a Fokker Dr.1 Triplane
Well that red baron is somewhat honorable.
Love the Fokker

Lol the first order really love the color red.

Better than black and white
The red trilogy
What did you expect from literal space nazis ?👌
@@UnluckyCantaloupe4 Disney: "The First Order are space nazis!"
Also Disney: "Here is a Black guy in the First Order, which was supposed to be an all-White Empire
Vonreg: is ace pilot, squad leader, highest ranking pilot in F/O
Also Vonreg: Misses every shot
Because plot armor.
That's something common in fo and empire......build superweapon....trust blindly in apprentice.....keep soldiers who miss aim
That says more about the efficiency of the F/O than anything
From the Red Baron's autobiography: "For whatever reasons, one fine day I came upon the idea of having my crate painted glaring red. The result was that absolutely everyone could not help but notice my red bird. In fact, my opponents also seemed to be not entirely unaware [of it]". This later became adopted by his whole squadron, using various amounts of red in their own paint jobs, possibly to help keep their leader from sticking out so much, but in practice became a method of unit identification that the german air command permitted, despite the disadvantages. Many squadrons kept to a theme or motif, but there was still much individualization between individual pilots. Many pilots after the war commented on how much the plain khaki color of their enemies made them easier to distinguish from friendly fighters in the middle of a dogfight, perhaps helping explain why German pilots saw so much success during the first war.
If memory serves the all-time Ace-of-aces Erich Hartmann, aka The Black Devil, also used a black tulip on the engine cowling to distinguish his plane, though he actually only flew with that design a handful of times it became associated with him and Russian pilots were quick to start avoiding any fighter with that distinctive paint job, which Hartmann used to his advantage by reassigning that plane to his squadron's most novice pilots, allowing them a great deal of protection from the enemy until they worked up their skills a bit.
Vonreg as a hero ship in Battlefront 2 could be cool.
"Sir, we ran out of black paint for the figthers"
"Ummmm, about we use Red paint"
"Yes, sir?"
I really like how this Tie is a mix of the inquisitor Tie and the interceptor tie.
World wars: *exist*
Movies, books and tv: it's free real estate
So much inspiration in Star Wars comes from especially the first Great War, I think it's a suitable tribute to have a baron fly for the Empire. Lucas wasn't exactly trying to be deep when he first created the Star Wars after all.
The original trilogy is basically WW2 in space, The Death Star is space version of the Dam Busters, and Hoth is space version of Dunkirk.
Vonreg was my favorite character in resistance. So I love how Trench could live from being hit by torpedoes, but Voneg dies by a few shots.
Trench bought grade five plot armor
Trench is a giant Spider. Vonreg is a human.
Well it depends where you hit a fighter. It could stay in the air or it could explode.

Oof
I generally don't like new designs, but this, this I like. It really reminds me of the Royal Interceptors and I adored those things. Always thought the Interceptor was just a wonderful fighter.
I like it too!
And he's flying, and he's flying..
HIGHEEEEEE....
wait, wrong baron, my bad.
The winged bismarck facing 500 hussars
I hope they bring Soontir Fel back to canon.
Yeah that would be awesome but too much crammed into it
In one of the books I hope, they'd probably make him a jobber if he showed up in one of the Cartoons like Skerris or Tudor.
I actually hope not. They would just make him to appear like a menace and by the end of the movie, he would just get taken out like an idiot by a car Asian guy or something.
@@thelonious2213 pretty much. Disney outside of the comics have a clear vision for Imperials, you are either a rebel in waiting who will defect or your an evil baby killer. There is no in between competent unless you are Thrawn.
They can't as they twisted his title baron into a rank.
google says : Strange as it sounds, the Red Baron was trying to put fear into his enemies and tell them he was coming by painting his plane red. The color also acted as beacon to rally or group his men in order behind him. The lesser pilots had less distracting colors, whereas the better pilots had more distracting colors.
I see the Empire has adopted Ork doctrine, 'cause da red wunz go fasta
WAAAGH
*THE GIT NEEDS TO PAINT HIS SHIP BLUE FOR MOR LUK*
Theory I heard for the Red Baron was it was to make himself more visible for friends and enemies. The enemy part was he tended to cruise under the cloud deck as a lure then his squadron came down on anyone trying to get him.
The Red Baron will be proud
Oh the irony. Despite how awesome the Red Fokker Dr.1 Triplane looked, it was actually one of THE slowest fighters of the war, topping out at a modestly slow 99mph.
It could turn on a dime though.
@@TheMrPeteChannel An important part of surviving a dogfight. If you can out turn your enemy, you can bring your guns to bear on them faster than they can get a bead on you.
One of my favorite starships ever. I clicked this video so fast when I saw the thumbnail!
As far as I am aware, Von Richthofen painted his plane red on a lark but soon found that it helped his men tell which plane was his during combat conditions. WWI saw the introduction of coordinated combat maneuvers, so knowing which plane was which became important. Eventually, his whole squadron painted their planes in bright colors to distinguish one another, earning them the nickname "the Flying Circus."
Hi there, the reason that Baron Manfred Von Richthofen painted planes red, was because he wanted the enemy to focus on him instead of the pilots under his command. On a side note, Richthofen was buried by the allies with full military honors. Including the traditional 21 gun salute, he was so highly respected he targeted the planes and not the pilots.
Love the red interceptor kick ass color like the royal interceptors of darth sidious
"This is where the fun begins"
- Anakin Skywalker -
I live the way it looks. It has a very aggressive look about it. The color I'm sure was so his allies can spot & keep up where he is. In battles with high speed, everything is happening at very quick intervals.
I think this is more of a nod to star wars legends who done this first with Baron Sontir Fel. I really miss new legend stories.
The First Order was actually just Palps's way of showing his love for the colour red, he would have done it in the Empire but everyone else liked black and grey.
Richthofen' airplane was red to get enemies to knows "yes its him".
Practical or not red is a badass color. Reminds me of the Legends royal guard tie interceptors
We even see them in the part where the 181st Interceptors are shown for the X-Wings miniatures game. That expansion has a 181st TIE Interceptor and a Royal Guard TIE Interceptor (minus the four winglets that should be there)
I kinda hated Star Wars Resistance as a Series. But I loved it's designs. The Tie Baron in particular. I bet the mainline FO Tie Interceptor was simply a technologically advanced Imperial Tie Interceptor (Like the FO Tie Fighter). With the Tie Baron being a rare model made for Aces.
Richard Ched is this starfighter hijack-proof?
@@blueofthelightanddark6273 idk if it has a Kill Switch. The Special Forces Tie Fighter (What I call the Tie Superior) lacked a kill switch.
The Red Baron painted his plane red because it made him visible. It allowed his squadron to spot him easily and instilled fear and respect in his enemies. His squadron, The Flying Circus actually painted their planes red as well in an effort to disguise their leader so allied pilots couldnt easily pick out which plane was Richthofen's.
The Red Baron did it as a joke. His squadron was ordered to paint their planes in camo and the results looked like something from the circus so the whole squadron painted their planes odd colors, he just happened to pick red.
Lol I knew about the circus but not that part thanks
I want a red Tie advanced that is twice as big as the imperial so it can have a crew of 4. 2 of them would pilot the ship and the other 2 would fire some turrets in the back. It would have good armor, shields, stealth and hyperdrive.
that would be interesting
So, TIE Gunstar.
Kudos to you for a video well done!! I have the LEGOs model of this TIE Interceptor variation known as "Major Vonreg's TIE Fighter" and it's an improved version of the Imperial TIE Interceptor. Definitely one of my favorite LEGOs model and second First Order ship (Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer is my first favorite).
The red baron painted his plane red to stand out, so his enemies knew it was him. He was broadcasting his presence as he was the best. On a side note he was actually shot down due to ground fire while leaving enemy territory after a dogfight.
I was hoping we'd see this in Rise of Skywalker. My take is that this is a both the predesasor and a competing model to the TIE Silencer/ R.O.S. TIE Interceptor, which will be reserved for the Knights of Ren.
I just realised you made this video on my birthday last year. thanks man
That's a cool interceptor for sure, the red paint is sick and it wouldn't really matter in space but the premise is tight.
all the skill and technology in the universe won't penetrate that plot armor
You got to love the tie baron pilot's helmet design. It is more unique then the other Stormtrooper or tie pilot helmets.
Vonreg's TIE Baron appears to be as much an evolution of the TIE Advanced as it is the old TIE Interceptor.
It is more like what the original Interceptor would have been if it were a true evolution of the Advanced line, rather than the hoped up standard TIE that appeared in ROTJ. It is my favorite TIE ship, after the X1.
There were also the red-painted variants of the TIE Interceptors which were the fighters of choice for Palpatine's Royal Red guards. That's what I thought was the in-universe inspiration.
Born a soldier from the dewbacks to the TIEs
And the legend never dies...
and hes flyin'

hes flying too fast and hes flying too high
Will u make a video about how will the Main Battle Tanks of Earth like the M1 Abrams can destroy almost any Star Wars Canon equivalents?
Yeah that would be a great vid
@@MetaNerdzLore Thank you and thanks for the like!
The Tie fighter we see in the first TROS trailer looks like a hybrid of the Baron and Silencer designs...
Please, make a video about the New Republic and the Resistence!!
I agree with you on that statement
Baron von Richtofen painted his Fokker red to be seen and recognized by both his enemies and allies. Richtofens whole squad had their unique colours and markings giving them the nickname "the flying Circus"
For the 181st, it was originally 6 squadrons in the 181st Imperial Fighter Wing and was considered one of the worst units in the Empire for how undisciplined every pilot was. Baron Soontir Fel whipped the unit into shape and turned them into one of the most feared military units in the Empire, downsizing to three squadrons to form the 181st Imperial Fighter Group. The three squadrons were Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Squadrons, though Saber Squadron was a secondary designation Alpha Squadron sometimes took, most notably during the Battle of Endor.
There is also a psychological element to the color choice. Once you've racked up enough kills, the red color becomes a warning to any who may challenge you. It says "face me and die."
Richthofen took the step of painting is Albatross (the plane he used before the fokker triplane) red when he became a squadron commander, he supposedly just came up with it one day so everyone would know who it was.
I picked this ship up today just because I liked the look of it
And he's flying

He's flying too fast and he's flying too high

"ah bugger, here we go again gents...."
Always a fan of a specific painted what ever to denote its being special or having a special pilot in it.
I can’t recommend X-Wing Miniatures enough for people who love Star Wars dogfights.
Kyle Stateler you don’t think you won’t win
Aye tmg players
It also really shares the angles and aesthetics of the TIE advanced V1
Baron Von Richthofen painted his plane red to commemorate his elevation to command of the Jasta 11 squadron. Later, he adopted the color as a calling card.
The sequel trilogy has yet to impress me, but maybe the eu portion might hold some promise.
Star Wars already has a Red Baron tribute in the form of Tofen Vane.
The First Order would markedly improve if the put some of their red paint budget into other investments, like original weapons and competent generals.
At least Disney's not inflicting us with Kybo Ren ..............yet.
Bring back an actual ace pilot while they're at it. Give me Sontir Fel you fucks.
Great vid MetaNerdz! I just got the Tie Baron X-wing miniature today.
The red baron painted his plane red for several reasons one is that it allows you to be spotted better by friendlies and he had the rest of his squad paint their planes bright colors which resulted in the being named the ‚Flying Circus‘.
The red Baron was in charge of a squadron that was ordered to paint it's planes. Camouflage was what command assumed they would use. He wanted to scare his enemy because if you kill them in the mind first, the body is doomed to follow. He painted his plane red and his squadron followed painting the planes in loud colors. They were dubbed the flying circus because of the wild paint jobs.
*inserts sabaton*
*AND HIS FLYING HIGHER INTO THE SKY! HES FLYING TOO FAST FAST AND HES FLYING TOO HIGH*
I think that it is also to make the enemy nervous or even afraid because stories about elite pilots spread fast so knowing your opponent is a Baron who singlehanded killed 10 star fighters in a battle makes people nervous and afraid and then they make mistakes.
I think the paint jobs helps out a lot to avoid dangerous situations of crashing into another friendly pilot
The baron made his ship red to mock his enemies. He made it as obvious as possible, and he only died to stray fire somewhere near Australia (I believe)
Your point?
With Season 2 coming out, I highly super duper recommend everybody watch Resistance and catch up. The last few episodes set up something really special.
Red Baron comes straight from WW1: The Red Baron was the name applied to Manfred von Richthofen, a German fighter pilot who was the deadliest flying ace of World War I. During a 19-month period between 1916 and 1918, the Prussian aristocrat shot down 80 Allied aircraft and won widespread fame for his scarlet-colored airplanes and ruthlessly effective flying style.
Are you going to make a tie whisper breakdown?
Holy the tie silencer is fast
Ironically, brightly-colored aircraft were used in World War 2 as well, for some of the exact reasons you describe here. They were known as "formation leaders" and the brightly colored paint enabled them to serve as beacons around which Allied planes would form up.
However, this was done with bomber formations, not with fighters. The brightly colored center plane would usually be either a bomber or a fighter.
Some reconnaissance versions of fighters such as British photo-reconnaissance Spitfires, were colored even more absurdly. For example, some were painted salmon pink, to blend in with the early pre-dawn light. But these were mostly solo flights over enemy territory.
In some cases, such as the Red Baron's, the commonly-held thought is that it was done for either intimidation factor or as you've stated, so that the squadron could more easily follow them.
Getting back to the formation leaders though, in some cases formation leaders would also be "pathfinders", which would fly in ahead of the bomber streams and mark the drop point with flares. When a bombardier in the stream saw the flares, they would drop their payload on target. Bombs away!
It's faster. Red ones go faster.
In ww1 many german war planes where paintend in bright colour. The main reason was to show "we dont fear others".
The red Barron was also truely royal and red was one main colour if his hous.
Greedings from your fan from germany and pleace excuse my bad english if there are mistakes.
The First Order Tie Interceptor is great and all, an amazing successor of the Imperial Tie Interceptor, but does it still fixed the flaws from it’s predecessor? Could there be a kill switch on a First Order Tie Interceptor?
Edit: Sith Troopers, Snoke’s guards, and Major Vonreg. First Order likes red. Maybe we should called them Red Squad.
Don't forget captain cardinal.
The part in resistance shown here, when the kid shoots down ace he starts cheering. Like he just *killed* someone for the first time and is beyond hype
That is a cool starfighter
The Red Baron (Manfred Von Reichtophen) chose the color red because he wanted to be seen by the enemy. He wanted his opponents to see him and know it was him so as to inspire fear and dread
The reason why the original Red Baron painted his plane red was answered when an officer asked the same question. He simply stated: *I don’t want to hide from my enemies, I want my enemies to run...*
There is actually a biography from the Red baron.... and he said the he painted his airplane red because there is no such thing as camouflage in dogfights... and he also wanted to strike fear in the hearts of his opponents because he had such a reputation for being the best dogfighter in WW1...which would probably mean the same for Baron Vonreg
guy's if you have not watched star wars resistance, will you should! it's so amazing!
You should definitely watch SW Resistance show. it’s really good, Especially towards the end of the first season
Looks like rebel fanfic to me.
I like it. Red is my most favorite color.
The Red Baron’s unit was called the Flying Circus. Every member would paint their plane in bright colors partly for fun, partly for notoriety. Richthofen just happened to pick bright red
Love it keep it up❤
Awesome video, love your content
Baron Von Richtoven flew many a plane during WW1, not just his Tri-plane. However that was the most memorable. He was also shot down by an Australian, with the consequent crash killing him. There are conflicting reports as to wether it was a rifleman, or a machine gunner.
if I am remembering correctly from reading something concerning the Red Baron, he had his plane painted red (the colour of blood) as an intimdation tactic, the pilot of the planes upon seeing the red plane would know exactly who was flying it and his reputation and it would unnerve them.
i believe the red color scheme is to draw targeted enemy fire to the ace, letting the other less experienced fighters breathe easier
Being allowed to paint your plane in striking designs that stick out is an honor for veteran and skilled pilots, particularly in WWII at least, but I'm sure also WWI.
There was one German pilot who painted his plane with bright, sunburst yellow nose and front part of the fuselage. This was a signal to the enemy that this was a highly prized and skilled combatant on purpose. Psychologically, it lures in the inexperience, cocky and daring enemy pilots (traits valuable for becoming a skilled veteran), keeps away the unworthy scaredy cats, and allows them to take on skilled veterans of the enemy and destroy them quickly.
Totally dig the the Red baron look of the Tie but honestly they should have kept the black and red armor
Me Seeing this tie for the first time:
My brain: AND HE FLYING HIGHER KING OF THE SKY
Think we can see one about the Mobile Suit Gundam's Universal Century?
Orcs from WH40k would love it since it's red and red ones go faster ! :D
Lego has a really cool kit of this tie fighter and it is not too hard to assemble. I put it together in about 3hrs.
Legend has it he is still going higher even in space
I though the name came from the "Red Baron", a brilliant german pilot in the great war who is often depicted piloting a red plane.
You should have 1 mil subs
I believe the Red Baron painted his plane red for the psychological factor. Allied pilots were terrified of him, and seeing that distinctive red plane coming at you would have a tremendous fear factor.
