It was a stealth ship. Stealth is its own form of combat. Admittedly its kinda hard to get out of visual range with a sail that big but once out of visual it was undetectable, and for a ship of that "relative" size, it is almost its own precedence.
I was going to say similarly, with it looking more like a luxury yacht than a fighter craft, its clear to me that it was never intended for combat roles. From a tactical standpoint, however, the fact its hard to track (I won't say impossible, because in reality radar would pick up that sail pretty easily) because of its lack of an engine would make it an excellent espionage tool, provided you kit it out with some high quality, long range sensors.
DAVID M It’s like putting the Lambda class shuttle on this list; it’s meant to either be in a safe area or have an escort. Would you rather take a weird bomber/fighter hybrid into battle or a large shuttle with minimal shielding and weaponry.
@@sirdogs8766 Yeah, the K-wing is the only entry on this list that really fits. The other entries are a luxury civilian vessel, a municipal patrol vehicle, an experimental prototype, a transport, and an abstract philosophy.
Not the issue it's the concept. A solar sailor would only work within the area of a star it's not an interstellar propulsion system as used in the film.
yeah, its a civie craft that a rich person uses to disembark his yacht and fly around a solar system. Not a military craft. Hell, the Cloud Car wasn't even USED by the Rebellion, its planetary patrol craft.

how is the K-Wing on the list while the "Resistance Bomber" is not, if the resistance had a half dozen K-Wings they would have taken down the dreadnaught without losses. The bomber which literaly had to get on top of the target to drop bombs, was absolutely the worst design I have seen in Star Wars. The K-Wing is extremely well armed, it was literaly designed to kill capital ships and get its crew back alive, and it did its designed role rather effectively in the (extended universe) Black Fleet Crisis novels.
@@Stormcastlecomics That is what they make me think of as well, but their non-aerodynamic base would cause them to move even slower if they could even fly at all. If they had more engines they would be a bit better, but even then they would be rather horrible ships. And If they were for atmospheric use then why did the resistance not have another type of bomber to do the attack, or have the Resistance bombers at all, even the Rebel Alliance mainly had space battle, so why would the Resistance have the bombers at all, much less for space use.
@@grandadmiralthrawn5120 It's possible that, since their payload was enough for basically a single one of them to destroy a capital ship, that they were meant to be launched in space and drop their payload from the upper atmosphere. With a payload like that, a fleet's worth of them could devastate ground fortifications. If there's an Extended Universe use of them showing otherwise, I apologize for my ignorance on the matter.
Flamin Faux I know of no extended universe use of them and in cannon they were used to destroy Imperial holdouts. But all I can say is that even four tie fighters could probably take out a dozen or more of them if they are used correctly.
2:26 Well meme’d I don’t see how the Space A-10 is on this list. The K-Wing is incredibly good in pretty much everything area relevant to its role. If anything it belongs on a list of most overpowered ships.
It makes no sense. We're comparing the space equivalent of a police car, a lorry, an experimental ship never meant to be flown and a luxury yacht to the equivalent of an A-10 warthog in space. Apples and oranges, it's a bad analysis. It's like they took one ship they really like and then filled the rest with bad examples to make it look better by comparison.
How can you have a Worst ship list without including the Resistance Bomber from TLJ. It's absolutely the stupidest concept and design in the SW universe.
The problem with the bomber is that it is incredibly slow, has relatively weak armor (virtually a glass cannon), is WAY too big of a target for a bomber, etc. It basically is a sitting duck with a huge attack profile filled to the brim with explosives. Basically a manned flying bomb. If you were using it as a light frigate, it would still be bad, as it has little in terms of ordinance aside from bombs and has incredibly weak armor. As a bomber, it is even worse, as it is too big of a target, is incredibly slow, has about as much maneuverability as a rock, and because of its bomber status, it would probably be singled out in combat because of the "threat" it poses to capital ships. There is a reason why the Resistance lost every single one of their bombers in one single battle: because it SUCKS! There is just no saving this ship. The B-wing was also a large ship that served as a bomber, but at least it was fast and maneuverable, and had guns that could actually pack a punch. The Resistance bomber tried to emulate the B-wing and failed. It is certainly one of the worst ships to ever grace the Star Wars universe. I daresay it even rivals the TIE-Wing ugly in terms of how bad it is. It fails in every category, including the role it was designed for. At least the Resistance transport still does what it was designed for. If the Resistance wanted a bomber, then they should have stuck with the B-wing. Yeah, by that time it would be pretty old, but it would still be a heck of a lot better than this waste of money and resources.
I think the resistance bomber is completely misinterpreted. I don’t think it was meant for space combat at all. Hence, the low speed and the odd delivery system for munitions. It might’ve been originally intended for planetary bombardment, either in-atmosphere or orbit. If that’s the case, it might be perfectly effective.
Enough dakka is when extreme firepower takes all of universe (and outside it) , and everything that is created is instantly exploded, and nobody can think of anything but the power of guns and in result , the Warp becomes sea of firing automatic weapons
I actually like the K-wing, and in particular, the way that it uses the wing's real estate for ordnance storage. It kind of reminds me of the A-10 warthog
I think that this list pulls each ship out of context. The Solar Sailer was made to get Count Dooku places without getting detected, the TIE X-1 was made as an EXPERIMENT to put a turbo laser on a snub fighter, the cloud car was a civilian ship which was NOT MEANT FOR BATTLE, and the Resistance Transport was a refit B-wing which was made to show how much of a rag-tag group the Resistance truly was.
Dude, k-wing is the best, and looks badass. Can't complain, the biggest "complaint" you guys made is "like it had too many weapons". It's a Star Wars version of an A-10 THUNDERBOLT, more weapon than wing is tha point.
not to mention they described it as a capital ship killer. well no duh. The thing isn't made to dog fight it is meant to take out frigates and corvettes on its own.
Which is pretty badass for a single starfighter to do. If anything I would put the K-Wing as one of the best starships for a single pilot in the galaxy.
Imagine TLJ with k-wings instead of sitting ducks, using those turrets to keep the interceptors away or disable point defense - and sparing us the droping bombs weirdness, just have a torpedo run. Well, thats if you can't get your hands on Skipray Blastboats, those should one up the k-wing.
Comparing the Solar Sailer and the Cloud Car to starfighters is kind of like comparing a sports car and a police motorcycle to military vehicles. IMO, there are only really three proper military vessels on this list, and of them, one is experimental, one is a transport, and one is the best on the list.
@@nitesy381 It's like the USA and North Korea had a baby and instead of neglecting it and filling it with lies and falsehoods they actually carefully and tenderly feed, teached and molded it into a beautiful weapon of mass destruction.
Rebellion: sees Y wing i want that thing The empire:alright you can have that but no more Rebellion:Sees B wing i want that thing The empire: Thats the last NR:sees K wing i want,i want it The empire:nope i will intervene Gets blown to bits
I mean, this list is just dumb. K Wings work. Tie Experimentals were pure tests and were never thrown into a real battle. Cloud Cars and Solar Sailers were civilian vehicles, not starfighters. Etc.
"Who needs that many weapons?" Well perhaps someone who's trying to kill an Aramadia-class thrustship? Have you even read the Black Fleet Crisis trilogy?
Hey, it is a better bomber than the weird slowkings from the Last Jedi. They looked cool and then they just hovered there in space without doing anything as they were being blown apart.
"Who needs that many weapons?" Someone supporting ground troops from the air. Destroying bases and fortification Attacking any kind of capital ship, frigate or cruiser Wreaking absolute havoc on the battlefield. That K-wing used a lot of weapons other ships didn't like cluster and homing missiles, plasma torpedo's and a literal minigun.
If that fleet is so dangerous would you not want a smaller, more compact design with less exposed weaponry and a more durable body which may end up resulting in you sacrificing some weaponry?
@@youshouldgetamotorbike8892 Because we have something called strategy that keeps the K-Wing safe. Something that Po lacked when he led those bombers against that giant ship in whatever dumb star wars movie that was
@@mems9953 "Return to ship!" "Nah, nah, fam, we got this, gonna kill this big ship!" "Please, come back!" "Nah, we're gonna kill this big ship!" ... "Oh, whoops, I've gotten everyone killed."
The troop transport was probably intended as a drop ship and was unlikely to see direct combat. The cloud cars were essentially cop cruisers. The TIE-thing, uh, yeah, that. Dooku’s ship was reflective of his personality and favoured form. It was meant to be an artesian vessel. The First Order, yeah, they were a bit lost without Seinar. . . .
I adore the solar sailor for the flavor it adds to Dooku’s character. He’s sophisticated, well-read, and progressively minded leader with a taste for the finer things in life. He strengthened diplomatic relations with Poggle the Lesser by buying the sail and ship, thereby expressing his interest in Geonosian history and tech.
Tie Fighters were analogous to the Japanese Zero: Cheap to produce en masse, and surprisingly not bad. In fact, just like in the beginning year of WW II in which the Zero was massively out-performing the F4F Wildcat, the Tie Fighters did a pretty decent job as scout and subspace interceptor. Unfortunately, they simply are not capable of going toe to toe with something like an X-Wing or B-Wing or Y-Wing or especially the A-Wing... much like how the F6F Hellcat turned the tables on the Zero. Of course, for the price of a single X-Wing, you could make a couple dozen Tie Fighters, so you could still argue economics of scale. Shoot down an X-Wing for every six Tie Fighters shot down, and you're still trading a 2:1 economic advantage. And the Empire had massively more resources than the resource-starved Rebels. The Tie Experimental was designed for a completely different purpose, and there's kind of a logic behind it. Think about it from their perspective: What sort of ship would give a fleet of Star Destroyers fits? Answer: Something as maneuverable and hard to hit as a Tie Fighter but packing a Turbolaser. One cheap enough to be built in bulk. Think about the idea of hundreds of turbolasers being focused on a single target in a strafing run. That was the idea behind it. Granted, it didn't work because other people like to build things other than Star Destroyers, but that was at least the theory behind its inception, and assuming it was properly escorted by Tie Advanced, it could probably fill that role quite well. The Solar Sailor and the Cloud Car are not combat vehicles, they are strictly civilian in nature. Why are you even including these vessels? The Solar Sailor is an economic and stealthy in-system transport to get you to where you need to be to hit hyperdrive. It's like trying to claim that a Ford Mustang is lousy in a combat scenario... OF COURSE IT IS! The K-Wing is capable of taking out a Star Destroyer by itself if it got into optimal range. No other ship was really able to say that. I have no idea why it is even on this list. The transport ship is cobbled together out of scrap parts, by a group of people who had no access to the resources necessary to build a better ship. It's a testament to how on the ropes the Rebels are at this point in the timeline. In short, it's supposed to be a crappy ship, because it is all the rebels could afford. And that stealth field would have gone a LONG way to counteracting its deficiencies if PLOT hadn't come along and made it useless.
Actually, since the Tie Fighter is fairly fast and can maneuver on a dime, it's better suited to attack a B-Wing or Y-Wing. Both are slow and fly like slugs.
The tie experimental M1 "Bizzaro" was also supposed to be remotely controlled. There is no pilot putting his life on the line, and they were cheap to make. So the idea would be to send massive waves of the things at capital ships and who cares if they get destroyed? Send in the next wave of drones! Also, there were a whole line of different types of remote experimental tie fighters that all fit different roles, including a kamikaze tie fighter! So the M1 wouldn't operate on it's own, it would be accompanied by other types that could cover it's weaknesses. Still looks weird AF tho lol
I love the X-1 though, because it's the Empire taking the Rebellion's idea of using fighters against capital ships to the logical extreme. A few squadrons of X-1s have almost as much firepower as an ISD.
The K wing is by far one of the most valuable starships in the New Republic's arsenal, simply because of its role and the Imperial space warfare doctrine. The Imperial Fleet put a very heavy emphasis on capital ships, so much so that the ships often had too little anti-starfighter weapons. A wing of heavy bombers like the K-wing could utterly devastate an Imperial fleet within minutes if allowed to operate unmolested. Really the only criticism of the ship is that it's highly specialized, which means there are some potential logistics issues in maintaining a ship when considering the New Republic's situation.
Well, we could just say 'worst designed' instead. You can be an amazing pilot and have plenty of planning and foresight, but not having to fight with the very way the ship is made is usually considered a big advantage.
I find this a tad ironic coming from the man who designed the TIE Defender as a keystone to his overall strategy. (Then again, I suppose you’re not really arguing against the value of quality starfighters, but rather how a good enough commander will make do with his resources)
I always liked it generally. Even when it was smaller, as the author who invented it first described it. Being that size mean't the lack of hyperdrive made a bit more sense.

i love how the dude was like "K-wing star fighter why it needs that many weapons fore?" and all i can think for is... WARHAMMER 40K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Why are you talking about Dooku's solar sailer in terms of vulnerability like lasers....when it's not a combat ship? It doesn't go into battle. As for space debris...SW has shields for that. Honestly don't know why a purely civilian design is doing on a list of fighters, patrol vessels and military transports.
Solar sailor: why do you field this? K-wing: more dakka dakka dakka. Tie bizzaro: good thing it's a prototype. Cloud car: this isn't a military vehicle. Resistance transport: c'mon man. First order: why u no use anything right.
Rebel soldier: This new third Death Star seems to have some very sophisticated defenses around its heat vents and shield systems... K-Wing pilot: So we drill through it. Rebel soldier: W-what? K-Wing pilot: We DRILL through it! Literally.
The K-wing reminds me of the A-10 Warthog ground jet. It is not as sleek as other jets and seems over armed but it is exactly the type of military vehicle needed when trying to punch through an obstacle in battle.
I'd say the worst First Order star fighter would be the standard issue Tie/fo Fighter. It proves they clearly learned nothing from the empire. Instead of mass producing the Tie Interceptor or even the Tie Defender, they just decided to repaint the most disposable ship a different color. They even have a Tie Fighter (sf) with 2 seats, a shield, and a hyper drive, yet for some reason, it hasn't completely replaced the standard one.
The F/O tie has shields and some have hyper drives. The one in TFA has a rear gunner due to it being a special forces fighter. So they learned something.
Thematically, I enjoyed how literally they were world war 2 bombers, because the whole point of Star Wars dogfighting was world war II in space. However, from any kind of logical perspective, yes, they were many times worse than just dusting off some old Y-Wings and going to town.
CWDTrixie The reason the Resistance bombers were used was because of there massive amount of firepower, just one destroyed a resistance dreadnaught, Poe' s attack was critized as being wasteful, so of course the reistance bombers suffered such huge casualties, they didn't take evasive maneuvers, and their escorts didn't protect them from TIE fighters that well
Wasn't the Solar Sailer one of Count Dooku's luxury vehicles and not a combat vehicle? I mean I could be wrong but it would be silly to fit weapons onto it. Just asking for clarifications on it's armaments, thanks
A laser cannon could be installed according to the books, but I never saw or read about this being implemented. It would replace the cockpit, and navigation would be rerouted to the back. Still, it was a personal VIP micro-yacht, not designed for frontline combat.
How these got destroyed and what it took. Death Star I: Rebels got lost ucky that Galen Erso made the flaw. Executor SSD: Rebels took down deflector shields and luckily the empire had over exposed bridges. Death Star II: Luckily the Rebels got there while DS2 was still in construction. Starkiller base: Rey and friends somehow didn’t die while setting the charges against dozens of stormtroopers and Poe luckily found a opening just big enough for a x-wing to go through with its s foils down and in and sideways. FO Dreadnaught(Last Jedi): Luckily the turrets and whatnot on the hull are nearly blind and can’t take out one fighter and luckily there’s one spot the for some reason is super weak and can be destroyed by one bomber. Supremacy: Actual ingenuity. Though an unnecessary sacrifice. These are all my interpretations please don’t hate me for stating these.
I think they should've had real writers instead of Kennedy in The Last Jedi. They also should've had decent choreographers and a halfway coherent plot and character arc instead of a "Rebellion but Worse" and a MaREY sue. Hell with it, instead of doing episode 9 they should just scrap the whole Disney canon except for Clone Wars and maybe Rebels, fire literally every writer, choreographer and actor involved, and just redo the entire post Yavin saga from scratch. Listen to Hamill and the fan base, incorporate the best stories from Legends and introduce new, dynamic characters that aren't defined by their gender race or species. Maybe do a few movies about the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin, for starters.
I think the k wing looks awesomely badass! And I think the main issue with the 1st order was their lack of resources. They poured all their credits, resources and time into recreating the empires massive scale that they didn't have the capability of fully fleshing out their armada. That and they suffered from a drastic lack of sound leadership, which of course was your point all along.
To be fair to the Confederacy, the Solar Sailer was Dooku's personal ship; it wasn't mass produced, and it wasn't intended for war. It was meant to take him places secretly, like how he (as the Head of State of the enemy) was able to slip onto Coruscant at the end of AOTC to meet with Palpatine.
Here's a terrible ship for you: the nose cone of the Millennium Falcon from Solo. In the X-Wing miniatures game, you can use that escape craft as a ship on its own. The only reason it's any good in that game is the mechanics allow you to basically use it as a super-cheap command ship, which was certainly not the intended outcome.
Imperial Admiral: "Another uneventful patrol" *K-Wing enters the system* Admiral: "Get us out of here!" *K-Wing fires a spread of missiles* Admiral: "Shields up, Now!" Officer: "Its too late!" *Missiles hit the bridge and shield generators, disabling the ship*
The TIE M1 was a remote-controlled starfighter (no pilot = doesn't need much protection) and quite fast. And in the X-Wing Alliance game its turbolaser had a high rate of fire and caused a lot of damage to starfighters.
For a vehicle vs episode: All Terrain Anti-Aircraft (AT-AA) vs Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AA Wraith) For a factions compared episode: Which faction had the best repulsor lift tank
Is the K Wing in the current canon or was it made for the EU? And the bombers were at the base they were evacuating. If the K Wing exists they could have been elsewhere. This was a retreat
@@Stormcastlecomics the k wing is EU. Also it seems to me that most of the rebels military whent into the new republic....which was just blown up by star killer base. But "that's all they had at that base" is also a good explanation.
I love the K-Wing because it's very similar to some designs I came up with for something as a kid. I took the space flyer thing from that one short from the DVD of Halo animations, which several SPARTANs rode, in space, to board a Covenant ship with Dr. Halsey aboard. Then I combined that with an A-10 Thunderbolt Warthog, but instead of the Halo ship thing's missile pylons angling up, they angled down from the A-10 Thunderbolt's fuselage. So it had a similar general shape.
Gonna keep trying Recusant Class Light Destroyer vs Something (Acclamator, Assault Frigate, MC40, etc) CIS fleet at Lola Sayu vs Rebel Fleet at Scarif. Combined Mass Effect Navies vs UNSC. Best Carrier Best Frigate Best Tactics
Just Some Guy Ok Except of course for all of the technical failures and software glitches that relegated it from an assault starfighter designed to replace the x wing to an escort ship. It was like the BTL-S4 Y-Wing. It worked, sure, but it had too many problems to be considered "efficient". Edit: after a quick refresh of my memory, by the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, it was a perfectly fine starfighter that was finally living up to its original design intentions, but that was 40 years ABY.
Nice vid EckhartsLadder! Voted The TIE Experimental. One measly turbo laser cannon is not good enough. Solar Sail is unique and interesting, worked well as a stealthy transport for Dooku.
Seems to be a theme with the resistance. I was stunned by how anyone could conceive of using a ship as utterly useless as those bombers that attacked the Dreadnought

how is the K-Wing on the list while the "Resistance Bomber" is not, if the resistance had a half dozen K-Wings they would have taken down the dreadnaught without losses.
The bomber which literaly had to get on top of the target to drop bombs, was absolutely the worst design I have seen in Star Wars.
The K-Wing is extremely well armed, it was literaly designed to kill capital ships and get its crew back alive, and it did its designed role rather effectively in the (extended universe) Black Fleet Crisis novels.
Most likely those bombers are intended to be use in an atmosphere for best optimum use and not for attacking the way there were used.
@@grandadmiralthrawn5120 They make me think of WW2 bombers and in space they were deployed wrongly
@@Stormcastlecomics That is what they make me think of as well, but their non-aerodynamic base would cause them to move even slower if they could even fly at all. If they had more engines they would be a bit better, but even then they would be rather horrible ships. And If they were for atmospheric use then why did the resistance not have another type of bomber to do the attack, or have the Resistance bombers at all, even the Rebel Alliance mainly had space battle, so why would the Resistance have the bombers at all, much less for space use.
@@grandadmiralthrawn5120 It's possible that, since their payload was enough for basically a single one of them to destroy a capital ship, that they were meant to be launched in space and drop their payload from the upper atmosphere. With a payload like that, a fleet's worth of them could devastate ground fortifications.
If there's an Extended Universe use of them showing otherwise, I apologize for my ignorance on the matter.
Flamin Faux I know of no extended universe use of them and in cannon they were used to destroy Imperial holdouts. But all I can say is that even four tie fighters could probably take out a dozen or more of them if they are used correctly.

@@thestarwarsmusiccomposer3491 it looks like transformers prime megatron that design isn't goofy its ba and intimidating
It makes no sense. We're comparing the space equivalent of a police car, a lorry, an experimental ship never meant to be flown and a luxury yacht to the equivalent of an A-10 warthog in space. Apples and oranges, it's a bad analysis. It's like they took one ship they really like and then filled the rest with bad examples to make it look better by comparison.

How can you have a Worst ship list without including the Resistance Bomber from TLJ. It's absolutely the stupidest concept and design in the SW universe.
That bomber is shit but the Transport is WORSE. The Bomber at least can do heavy damage.
Yeah....to itself
The problem with the bomber is that it is incredibly slow, has relatively weak armor (virtually a glass cannon), is WAY too big of a target for a bomber, etc. It basically is a sitting duck with a huge attack profile filled to the brim with explosives. Basically a manned flying bomb. If you were using it as a light frigate, it would still be bad, as it has little in terms of ordinance aside from bombs and has incredibly weak armor. As a bomber, it is even worse, as it is too big of a target, is incredibly slow, has about as much maneuverability as a rock, and because of its bomber status, it would probably be singled out in combat because of the "threat" it poses to capital ships. There is a reason why the Resistance lost every single one of their bombers in one single battle: because it SUCKS! There is just no saving this ship. The B-wing was also a large ship that served as a bomber, but at least it was fast and maneuverable, and had guns that could actually pack a punch. The Resistance bomber tried to emulate the B-wing and failed. It is certainly one of the worst ships to ever grace the Star Wars universe. I daresay it even rivals the TIE-Wing ugly in terms of how bad it is. It fails in every category, including the role it was designed for. At least the Resistance transport still does what it was designed for. If the Resistance wanted a bomber, then they should have stuck with the B-wing. Yeah, by that time it would be pretty old, but it would still be a heck of a lot better than this waste of money and resources.
Yea the Last Jedi was fucking retarded in every way
I think the resistance bomber is completely misinterpreted. I don’t think it was meant for space combat at all. Hence, the low speed and the odd delivery system for munitions. It might’ve been originally intended for planetary bombardment, either in-atmosphere or orbit. If that’s the case, it might be perfectly effective.

I actually like the K-wing, and in particular, the way that it uses the wing's real estate for ordnance storage. It kind of reminds me of the A-10 warthog
I think that this list pulls each ship out of context. The Solar Sailer was made to get Count Dooku places without getting detected, the TIE X-1 was made as an EXPERIMENT to put a turbo laser on a snub fighter, the cloud car was a civilian ship which was NOT MEANT FOR BATTLE, and the Resistance Transport was a refit B-wing which was made to show how much of a rag-tag group the Resistance truly was.
Erndem Sterff Prederctions And first order is bad. Ridiculously bad
Agreed the solar sailor was a luxury/ stealth ship.
This only means the K-wing is the worse confirmex
Erndem Sterff Prederctions didn't he say m-1 not x-1
The cloud car...who put weapons on that thing in the first place?
Wait.. The K-Wing? It's like the best bomber..?
Because of lack of hyperdrive, I guess.
K-Wing vs B-Wing
Oh yeah that thing was a downright stupid design.
Are you agreeing with me? Because I said the design was stupid, it should not have even worked during that battle.
Stig Lapoint The Ewing is downright OP once they fixed the laser cannons.
Dude, k-wing is the best, and looks badass.
Can't complain, the biggest "complaint" you guys made is "like it had too many weapons".
It's a Star Wars version of an A-10 THUNDERBOLT, more weapon than wing is tha point.
not to mention they described it as a capital ship killer. well no duh. The thing isn't made to dog fight it is meant to take out frigates and corvettes on its own.
Which is pretty badass for a single starfighter to do. If anything I would put the K-Wing as one of the best starships for a single pilot in the galaxy.
Perfect Earth comparison!
Dreadnought AI eh i really dont like its look. It looks way too much the gunships we have on earth.
Imagine TLJ with k-wings instead of sitting ducks, using those turrets to keep the interceptors away or disable point defense - and sparing us the droping bombs weirdness, just have a torpedo run.
Well, thats if you can't get your hands on Skipray Blastboats, those should one up the k-wing.
The Solar Sailer wasn't a combat vehicle. This is like complaining that the Tantive IV has no fighting ability. it's not supposed to
this video isnt about combat vehicles?
The CR-90 is an corvette. It has laser cannons against starfighters.
Comparing the Solar Sailer and the Cloud Car to starfighters is kind of like comparing a sports car and a police motorcycle to military vehicles. IMO, there are only really three proper military vessels on this list, and of them, one is experimental, one is a transport, and one is the best on the list.

The troop transport was probably intended as a drop ship and was unlikely to see direct combat.
The cloud cars were essentially cop cruisers.
The TIE-thing, uh, yeah, that.
Dooku’s ship was reflective of his personality and favoured form. It was meant to be an artesian vessel.
The First Order, yeah, they were a bit lost without Seinar. . . .
Drop ships are still expected to see combat.. just look at the LAAT in 80% of situations
and the K Wing is just pure love
The tie EX was a remote control fighter no Pilots but an Escort ship more like the raptor drone of Amerika al had diffends task
I adore the solar sailor for the flavor it adds to Dooku’s character. He’s sophisticated, well-read, and progressively minded leader with a taste for the finer things in life. He strengthened diplomatic relations with Poggle the Lesser by buying the sail and ship, thereby expressing his interest in Geonosian history and tech.
Tie Fighters were analogous to the Japanese Zero: Cheap to produce en masse, and surprisingly not bad. In fact, just like in the beginning year of WW II in which the Zero was massively out-performing the F4F Wildcat, the Tie Fighters did a pretty decent job as scout and subspace interceptor. Unfortunately, they simply are not capable of going toe to toe with something like an X-Wing or B-Wing or Y-Wing or especially the A-Wing... much like how the F6F Hellcat turned the tables on the Zero. Of course, for the price of a single X-Wing, you could make a couple dozen Tie Fighters, so you could still argue economics of scale. Shoot down an X-Wing for every six Tie Fighters shot down, and you're still trading a 2:1 economic advantage. And the Empire had massively more resources than the resource-starved Rebels.
The Tie Experimental was designed for a completely different purpose, and there's kind of a logic behind it. Think about it from their perspective: What sort of ship would give a fleet of Star Destroyers fits? Answer: Something as maneuverable and hard to hit as a Tie Fighter but packing a Turbolaser. One cheap enough to be built in bulk. Think about the idea of hundreds of turbolasers being focused on a single target in a strafing run. That was the idea behind it. Granted, it didn't work because other people like to build things other than Star Destroyers, but that was at least the theory behind its inception, and assuming it was properly escorted by Tie Advanced, it could probably fill that role quite well.
The Solar Sailor and the Cloud Car are not combat vehicles, they are strictly civilian in nature. Why are you even including these vessels? The Solar Sailor is an economic and stealthy in-system transport to get you to where you need to be to hit hyperdrive. It's like trying to claim that a Ford Mustang is lousy in a combat scenario... OF COURSE IT IS!
The K-Wing is capable of taking out a Star Destroyer by itself if it got into optimal range. No other ship was really able to say that. I have no idea why it is even on this list.
The transport ship is cobbled together out of scrap parts, by a group of people who had no access to the resources necessary to build a better ship. It's a testament to how on the ropes the Rebels are at this point in the timeline. In short, it's supposed to be a crappy ship, because it is all the rebels could afford. And that stealth field would have gone a LONG way to counteracting its deficiencies if PLOT hadn't come along and made it useless.
Actually, since the Tie Fighter is fairly fast and can maneuver on a dime, it's better suited to attack a B-Wing or Y-Wing. Both are slow and fly like slugs.
I think it was supposed to resemble the beach lander's from ww2 that the allies used in Normandy.
TIEs are actually ~2-3 per X wing if I remember correctly, but still an economic advantage in theory.
Long paragraph mate
Their all good ships for their purpose, but that doesn't mean they aren't the worst. Except for the k-wing, I also don't know why that's on there
The tie experimental M1 "Bizzaro" was also supposed to be remotely controlled. There is no pilot putting his life on the line, and they were cheap to make. So the idea would be to send massive waves of the things at capital ships and who cares if they get destroyed? Send in the next wave of drones!
Also, there were a whole line of different types of remote experimental tie fighters that all fit different roles, including a kamikaze tie fighter! So the M1 wouldn't operate on it's own, it would be accompanied by other types that could cover it's weaknesses. Still looks weird AF tho lol
Yeah, endless waves of drones worked great for the CIS-
The CIS had way better droid ship designs too.
I love the Kwing. Is it pretty? Hell no, but it's got the A10 look going on. So ugly it's cool
What do you mean? A 10s are nice
Ehh, its no uglier than a YT freighter.
The TIE X-1 looks like someone strapped a cannon to a unicycle. There you go: the Empire's Unicycle.
I love the X-1 though, because it's the Empire taking the Rebellion's idea of using fighters against capital ships to the logical extreme. A few squadrons of X-1s have almost as much firepower as an ISD.
"Rebel Ships incoming, reading X-Wings, Y Wings and A-Wings"
"Very good, now please read the next line with the other eye"
The K wing is by far one of the most valuable starships in the New Republic's arsenal, simply because of its role and the Imperial space warfare doctrine. The Imperial Fleet put a very heavy emphasis on capital ships, so much so that the ships often had too little anti-starfighter weapons. A wing of heavy bombers like the K-wing could utterly devastate an Imperial fleet within minutes if allowed to operate unmolested.
Really the only criticism of the ship is that it's highly specialized, which means there are some potential logistics issues in maintaining a ship when considering the New Republic's situation.
Capn Pipsqueak It’s like the A10 Warthog; it’s an ugly bastard, but if you needed an enemy to go bye bye, you could depend on it to get the job done
I really don’t think there is a “worst” ship (if we aren’t counting the Y-Tie). With a good plan any ship can defeat any other.
Well, we could just say 'worst designed' instead. You can be an amazing pilot and have plenty of planning and foresight, but not having to fight with the very way the ship is made is usually considered a big advantage.
I find this a tad ironic coming from the man who designed the TIE Defender as a keystone to his overall strategy. (Then again, I suppose you’re not really arguing against the value of quality starfighters, but rather how a good enough commander will make do with his resources)
If the Pinook fighter were included, it'd win, hands down.
Grand Admiral Thrawn with the sensible answer as always
Solar Sail vs Eclipse, can the Solar Sail win?
Hey! The K-wing is not all that bad!

I'd say the worst First Order star fighter would be the standard issue Tie/fo Fighter. It proves they clearly learned nothing from the empire. Instead of mass producing the Tie Interceptor or even the Tie Defender, they just decided to repaint the most disposable ship a different color. They even have a Tie Fighter (sf) with 2 seats, a shield, and a hyper drive, yet for some reason, it hasn't completely replaced the standard one.
Alex Lasson they did learn tho since the new ties are now shielded
The F/O tie has shields and some have hyper drives. The one in TFA has a rear gunner due to it being a special forces fighter. So they learned something.
The Resistance bombers were awful too. Actually, the majority of new trilogy ships are awful.
StormDriven37 really because I can think of only maybe two terrible designs in the new ones.
Thematically, I enjoyed how literally they were world war 2 bombers, because the whole point of Star Wars dogfighting was world war II in space. However, from any kind of logical perspective, yes, they were many times worse than just dusting off some old Y-Wings and going to town.
I thought the bombers were a bit too vulnerable, though heavy hitting. I also think it's weird not to see more A-wings and B-wings.
Could you name some other than the resistance bombers (which mind you were kinda universally hated)?
I love the design but hate how slow they were.

Just A Random Bored Guy That Has A TH-cam Acount nah Clown car is the worst...... Maybe
CWDTrixie The reason the Resistance bombers were used was because of there massive amount of firepower, just one destroyed a resistance dreadnaught, Poe' s attack was critized as being wasteful, so of course the reistance bombers suffered such huge casualties, they didn't take evasive maneuvers, and their escorts didn't protect them from TIE fighters that well
CWDTrixie y wing has 50 bombs to resisitance bomber has 1050 bomber so it ismt that bad something of a glass cannon

Wasn't the Solar Sailer one of Count Dooku's luxury vehicles and not a combat vehicle? I mean I could be wrong but it would be silly to fit weapons onto it. Just asking for clarifications on it's armaments, thanks
A laser cannon could be installed according to the books, but I never saw or read about this being implemented.
It would replace the cockpit, and navigation would be rerouted to the back.
Still, it was a personal VIP micro-yacht, not designed for frontline combat.
The K-wing reminds me of the A-10 Warthog, they look a little similar, and both have a large amount of firepower.
How these got destroyed and what it took.
Death Star I: Rebels got lost ucky that Galen Erso made the flaw.
Executor SSD: Rebels took down deflector shields and luckily the empire had over exposed bridges.
Death Star II: Luckily the Rebels got there while DS2 was still in construction.
Starkiller base: Rey and friends somehow didn’t die while setting the charges against dozens of stormtroopers and Poe luckily found a opening just big enough for a x-wing to go through with its s foils down and in and sideways.
FO Dreadnaught(Last Jedi): Luckily the turrets and whatnot on the hull are nearly blind and can’t take out one fighter and luckily there’s one spot the for some reason is super weak and can be destroyed by one bomber.
Supremacy: Actual ingenuity. Though an unnecessary sacrifice.
These are all my interpretations please don’t hate me for stating these.

Hell with it, instead of doing episode 9 they should just scrap the whole Disney canon except for Clone Wars and maybe Rebels, fire literally every writer, choreographer and actor involved, and just redo the entire post Yavin saga from scratch.

Here's a terrible ship for you: the nose cone of the Millennium Falcon from Solo.
In the X-Wing miniatures game, you can use that escape craft as a ship on its own. The only reason it's any good in that game is the mechanics allow you to basically use it as a super-cheap command ship, which was certainly not the intended outcome.

The TIE M1 was a remote-controlled starfighter (no pilot = doesn't need much protection) and quite fast. And in the X-Wing Alliance game its turbolaser had a high rate of fire and caused a lot of damage to starfighters.

Why does it seem like the first order Drednought had no Shields?
The TLJ bombers were just an excuse to 1)Sell new toys and 2)To be able to simple reduce the amount of Resistance members.
Is the K Wing in the current canon or was it made for the EU? And the bombers were at the base they were evacuating. If the K Wing exists they could have been elsewhere. This was a retreat
@@Stormcastlecomics the k wing is EU. Also it seems to me that most of the rebels military whent into the new republic....which was just blown up by star killer base. But "that's all they had at that base" is also a good explanation.
I love the K-Wing because it's very similar to some designs I came up with for something as a kid.
I took the space flyer thing from that one short from the DVD of Halo animations, which several SPARTANs rode, in space, to board a Covenant ship with Dr. Halsey aboard. Then I combined that with an A-10 Thunderbolt Warthog, but instead of the Halo ship thing's missile pylons angling up, they angled down from the A-10 Thunderbolt's fuselage.
So it had a similar general shape.
Lest we forget that a Cloud Car destroyed a Star Destroyer in the BF2 campaign.
Well it was flow by former imperial special forces.
That was because of the exposed points of the mining station. Also for some reason I'm pretty sure the ISDs there had their turbolasers deactivated.
Wait if the K wing is a thing then why would you ever make a bomber like in The last Jedi.
"because it's not canon anymore" blah blah. stupid Disney. they help make Marvel awesome {in movies} and ruins Star Wars.
@@CButtonshaw EU was never technically "canon" anyway.
Gonna keep trying
Recusant Class Light Destroyer vs Something (Acclamator, Assault Frigate, MC40, etc)
CIS fleet at Lola Sayu vs Rebel Fleet at Scarif.
Combined Mass Effect Navies vs UNSC.
Best Carrier
Best Frigate
Best Tactics
Umm... rly? K-wing is your pick for the new republic? Where's the E-wing on this list?
Or the A-9 Vigilance...
Chris sonofPear Lol looks like the Mandator IV, starfighter edition.
Kinda
Michael McNary I love the Ewing. It's beautiful and effective.
Just Some Guy Ok Except of course for all of the technical failures and software glitches that relegated it from an assault starfighter designed to replace the x wing to an escort ship. It was like the BTL-S4 Y-Wing. It worked, sure, but it had too many problems to be considered "efficient".
Edit: after a quick refresh of my memory, by the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, it was a perfectly fine starfighter that was finally living up to its original design intentions, but that was 40 years ABY.
Does anybody else love his outro, it makes me smile every time.
Nice vid EckhartsLadder! Voted The TIE Experimental. One measly turbo laser cannon is not good enough. Solar Sail is unique and interesting, worked well as a stealthy transport for Dooku.
Seems to be a theme with the resistance. I was stunned by how anyone could conceive of using a ship as utterly useless as those bombers that attacked the Dreadnought
I'm surprised the Resistance Bomber wasn't on this list, but I guess the transport is also pretty bad.
It's a transport. it is most likely there to drop off a crew and move on. If you are in a transport and get hit by fighters you are screwed anyway.
I love the K-Wing. 😆
To be fair, we lost all those ships because someone broke all of star wars lore in a single shot
The K-Wing was beat with the ugly stick. Then it snatched the ugly stick away and used it to beat up on the Empire.
