I actually hadn't paid enough attention when I was watching the rebels show but now that I see it again, the Fang-class is definitely one of my favourite fighter designs in Star Wars.
I love that the Fang and Gauntlet pair with the scyk (now sadly neglected) really nicely giving Mano vessels a cohesive style... But I've always felt the gauntlet is just too unnecessarily massive and flamboyant for the culture it was supposedly built for. The Fang is one of my favourite SW fighters since the original trilogy, and it was nice seeing one briefly in the last of the sequel trilogy. And in that appearance it didn't constantly and pointlessly swing it's wings either. Lol.
I personally love the Gauntlet but the Fang fighter is an excellent starfighter especially in a dogfight. The spinning wings definitely work to confuse enemies and help with atmospheric flight. But yeah, they really be spinning those lol
The gravity adjustment would have been insane, the strength of the Gauntlet is such that it's cost would have been incredible. The Fang Fighter with shields would have been competition for even an E wing.
I wonder how many of these types of ships an acclamator can carry? Also imagine an acclamator with a cloaking device, would be terrifying for the enemies to not know they were under attack and then boom an entire army at your doorstep.
Considering the size of the Gauntlet and Fang fighters in relation to LAATs I’d say around 50-60 Gauntlets. Or a combination of 30 Gauntlet-class and 50 Fang-class fighters. This is a guess of course but when thinking about how the Acclamator could hold 80 LAATs I think my numbers are more than fair. Pair these Mandalorian fighters with a cloaked Acclamator and whatever planet you want is yours lol
Other than Hera the pilots in her Squadron were basically rookies and not able to use the A-Wing's abilities to maneuver and almost instantly change direction...they also were early versions of the A-Wing which weren't nearly as good as those fielded a handful of years later
The Gauntlet that is seen in "The Mandalorian" Season 2 & 3 ist NOT 50m long. You can easily see it when it is landed at the end of Season 2. You see Din Djarin and Boba Fett coming out of the Slave I in Front, both are max 1,8m height. Correct there height in perspetive (which should be 10 to 15% less height) and you see that you can see that the Wing is about 13 times the height of one Person. So roundabout 25 to 30m long (considering that this is roughly estimated).
According to the information given to us, the Gauntlet has two versions one at 68m in length and one at 52m. I'm just going off the sources provided to us lol
@@StarWarsOddball I know. But sometimes the Sources in StarWars are Odd. I mean if you think about it that the "smaller" Gauntlet much bigger than the Milenium Falcon^^
@@merkarion7883 Fair enough lol I think it's tough sometimes, I just go off of the sources online or the books I have. I appreciate your insight into all that. You pay attention to the details most of us miss!
I find the spinning fuselage too goofy for my tastes. I like the rotating wings, but the spinning is just nonsensical to me. Otherwise this is one of my favorite pairs of ships in Star Wars.
That’s tough to say.. the Gauntlet is more balanced as it can carry multiple personal and deploy them, not to mention it has forward and rear laser cannons. It’s both a fighter and transport. But the Fang fighter is better when it comes to dogfights. My personal choice is the Gauntlet-class starfighter
☝🏽😂24 passengers?!? 🤔 Scale is important !!!😂 plastic toy version only fits one mandalorian action figure 🤷🏽♂️😂ship is actually bigger than it's britches😂
Lego has leaked that the fang fighter will actually be in the new mandalorian season and I’m so excited to see it
I bet we will see Fenn Rau flying it too 😎
It's a shame the wings don't rotate in the lego model...
@@StarWarsOddball hopefully 🤞🏾
@@hollow_guy_ quite the let down
Season 8 is when it will show up lol

Fang-class the starfighter not many people know they needed in their life!

Exactly, the only downside to the Fang is its lack of shields
Thank you for the hard work! Awesome video that answered my question. Subscribed!❤may the force be with you

@StarWarsOddball heck yeah man!

True! But even so a Fang fighter is very capable in a dogfight
I like the Fang design
It’s super unique! I like it too
Gotta love those Fang Fighters
I wish we could’ve seen them shooting down some TIE Interceptors in that Mando finale. They were just flying escort for the Gauntlets
@@StarWarsOddballThey should've counter attacked when the gozanti was taking heavy dmg
Don't forget the night brother now belongs to ezra. Man i hope he gets that back when he gets home
Agreed, I’m sure it’s collecting dust somewhere on Lothal! I’d love to see it in the Heir to the Empire movie
@@StarWarsOddballWhat movie?
Really nice practical ship
An excellent design, very mandalorian
@@StarWarsOddball 🥃🔥
1) Fang-class
2) Gauntlet/Kom’rk-class
Can’t go wrong with the Fang-class! I’m a Kom’rk Gauntlet fan myself
Rock On!
This ship would have made a devastating heavy bomber
The Gauntlet could definitely mop up enemies, just give it a payload of proton torpedoes and some proton bombs
Cool video
Thank you!
This video was well explained!
Why thank you!
@@StarWarsOddball no problem :)
I love these ships
You have good taste!

I refuse, on principle 😂

I can understand what you mean! I too love the designs of these starfighters
So, which one would you say is better? The Gauntlet or the Fang?

But the Fang fighter is better when it comes to dogfights. My personal choice is the Gauntlet-class starfighter
Need a 3.75 versions
How did the mandalorians lost to the Empire even with ships like these🤔🤔🤔
Isn't fang fighter slow? I've seen wookiepedia and it was slower then Y wings
When talking about speed, it isn’t the top speed that the fang fighter is known for but it’s agility. The fang fighter is unmatched in maneuverability
☝🏽😂24 passengers?!? 🤔 Scale is important !!!😂 plastic toy version only fits one mandalorian action figure 🤷🏽♂️😂ship is actually bigger than it's britches😂
It is! But it’s important to remember there’s two different size classes for the Gauntlet
