- The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer was smaller, less heavily armed and armored than the All Terrain Armored Transport, but does that necessarily make it a weaker platform?

Bro... when you said "That's what we call mechanized infantry, and that's beautifull"... there are no words to describe what I felt, cuz you couldn't be more right about that. I've served on a MecInf batalion as both a reg and as a M113 driver... so thank you. Realy apreciate de note.
Thank you for your service. Always loved the mechanized bois in games and movies
Combined arms
AT-TE is an APC
AT-AT is more like a MBT on stilts for some unfathomable reason
I was 1 ID I was a Bradley driver, and then a dismount. Tbh my most qualified weapon system was the push broom baby 😂😂😂 gotta keep that track line clean 😂😂😂
Mad respect to a reporter explained this tech in an active warzone
The AT-TE was less powerful than the AT-AT, but it was better employed and more effective for actual combat. The massive height of the AT-AT makes it a huge target, yes it's got durability out the wazoo but as we've seen, starfighter support is more than enough to decimate them.
If I was Palpatine, I'd have just revised the AT-TE design, maybe upscale it a touch, and either armor up or entirely conceal the cockpit within the tank itself.
I slightly disagree with the second paragraph, as the main purpose of over-designing every aspect of the Empire was the Tarkin Doctrine, the point of which was to put fear in the people, and a massive AT-AT definitely did that, whereas an AT-TE does not (smaller, less heavily armed)
AT-TE would also be decimated by air support, just like any tank in real life. But without it, an AT AT would crush you
The one that got decimated by air support in the video was the AT ACT, the less armoured cousin of the AT AT that was not even meant for battle. I would say the actual Walker would be able to at least not be decimated by air support due to its near-impenetrable armour and how the weak points (neck and underbelly) would be difficult for a strafing starfighter to hit. And the cannons of the snow speeders had absolutely no effect on the AT AT, they might not be starfighters but they still have some big guns.
"starfighter support is enough to decimate them"
What? From what was seen of the snow speeders, air fighter guns do nothing to AT-ATs. They also no-selled every heavy gun emplacement from the rebel side. They also shot down quite a few of said air fighters.
The snow speeders eventually brought down ATAts due to the convenient tow cables, which is not something you would see on starfighters. So it's doubtful just having starfighter support is enough to decimate them, especially when the Empire won at Hoth battlefield wise, the best the rebels could do was slow them down as much while people escaped.
The one blown up in Rogue One was not an ATAT, that was the cargo/support variant that the Empire rapidly deployed into battle as a panic resort to unknown rebel forces.
@@benjaminfitzgibbon4506 pretty good point
AT-TE looks cooler.
That obviously is the most important difference.
It’s always about aesthetics. 😎👍
You can also angle the legs to point the barrel of the mass driver towards the ground.
VERY important, if you need to convince some general to surrender by, oh, I don't know... Sticking a cannon barrel in their face?
The Titanic looked really cool as well :).
@@matohibiki Hold up, I hadn't even realized that, it also means you can essentially cover your legs as well, sort of like a pseudo ''hull down'' position, would work even better in defilade, and that actually DOES have a practical utility to it. Neat.
@@HandleMyBallsTH-cam That's the thing about articulated legs, you get a lot more use out of them once you remember 'oh yeah, legs bend in places'.
Half the time I think of legged mechs as just a big monocycle, and have to remember that you can also STOMP with the damn things. And kick, and kneel in a way that facilitates troops climbing up you easier, or down, depending.
Legs give you a lot more options once you remember you can get creative. When is a guard tower a ramp? Any damn time you feel like tipping it over for your buddies.
As a wise man once said:
"This, is a weapon of terror. It's made to INTIMIDATE the enemy.
This, is a weapon of war. It's made to KILL your enemy."
Sums up the AT-AT versus AT-TE.
O'Neill
Indeed.
Jack O'Neill is THE MAN!
Just don't mix up the number of Ls. Colonel O'Neil is no fun at parties, no sense of humor.
My first thought as well, lol
But the real question is...which one has the better toy?? I own the AT-TE and absolutely love it, but I think the legacy collection AT-AT appears to be more fun to play with. But not sure since I dont own it
This is the perfect background sound effects, to talk about AT-TE, AT-AT and technology about Tanks. 🎇👌😎🎆
AT-TE plays really well with rest of the vehicles in the GAR.
I love that it starts to rain on you and your reaction is to hold up an umbrella for the computer.
AT-AT was perfect for what the Empire needed it for. Remember that the Empire doesn't use anything for war. It's military is instead geared towards the use of fear and numbers to keep the populace suppressed. The AT-AT isn't anything more than what it needed to be. A raised platform to instill fear on anything it approaches. It's firepower faced forward because that's the only direction a formation of these behemoths would be travelling. It didn't matter if it was outperformed by the AT-TE. It didn't matter if it was weak to starfighters (remember most opponents would not have those kind of resources to fight the empire). The rebels were outliers and the Imperial military was never designed to match them.
Storm troopers and the empirial army were much stronger then the rebels
Actually the rebels were pretty much everyone, the bulk of their forces were an alliance of the smaller home grown rebellions the storm troopers and AT AT's usually dealt with.
@@saac0937 in numbers yes but their military doctrine had weaknesses which were perfectly targeted by that of the rebels. At the end of the day whilst raw numbers and technological superiority may win most battles, they alone cannot win wars, guerilla warfare and terrorist tactics tend to balance that out a lot. After all if you win 100 battles but lose 1000 soldiers, and hundreds of millions worth of equipment in every one, whilst your citizens live in fear and grow to hate you for your brutality and oppressive conduct causing you to lose home support, you still fucking lose the war. War is messy, murdery and wrong and ultimately victory is determined by many different factors some of which are beyond your control.
@@seekingabsolution1907 empire is also better in skill and training too
also would love to see a comparison between the smaller walkers of the republic like the AT-RT and the AT-AP compared to the AT-ST, as I've heard some flaws of it but not as many as the AT-AT, so would be cool to see how it holds up to its predecessors like in this video has.
Alan, I am not going to comment about your information per say. I just wanted to say you are doing a great job both as an artist and as a human.
Honestly they should've been deployed side by side. The AT-TE's can deal with lighter targets, and if you replace the mass driver with an array of AA weapons it can screen an AT-AT from it's biggest threats while the AT-AT deals with the heavier targets.
BASED !!! palpatine was really stupid , he could just use republic and imperial era guns and vehicles and that make It More powerful
Load the at-te mass driver cannon with aa flak shells to screen for starfighters that are targeting the at-at does sound smart
I suppose one of the advantages the AT-AT has in relation to ground assault, is that by virtue of its height, it has a higher firing position, so can fire down at targets.
Two targets at ground level firing at each other will either hit, or miss. In the event of a miss, the bolt will go past the target into the distance.
With the AT-AT, if it misses the target there's a good chance of that shot hitting the ground near it with explosive force, and perhaps causing secondary kills.
The AT AT was more powerful and more effective overall I think, but the AT TE was used much better
The jokes were on point this episode Alan. Excellent work
Thanks for hosting videos from a warzone Allen!
One trait I kind of want to see an ATAT do is more of a mobile command post. It is large enough it could be used as a landmark for nearby forces. Give it a good sensor suite and change the armor up a little, it could perform that role quite well.
That's a good point. It could relay communications pretty far with that high vantage. I think the transport compartments need to be replaced with something more useful, though. Tactical missile launchers, shield generator, drone command, shit like that ya know?
@@EnwardSnowman That is a great idea. Extensive sensor suite, holo table for military planning, it would be an exceptional mobile command sensor. As tall as it is, it needs to have an armored underbelly.
Haven’t watched the video yet but yes it’s better
AT-AT was built and designed to pacify and intimidate rebellious planets through fear. Where as the ATTE was designed for full scale war and with multipurpose functions for handling any combat situation to accomplish it's missions
I love how when it starts to rain he doesn’t even flinch and grabs an umbrella
Well with the first order I guess they kinda maybe did learn their lesson from their AT-AT ancestor from the galactic empire with the making of the AT-M6
That thing was basically a much more scarier version of the AT-AT that has legs that were basically trip resistant since smaller craft used to target the legs to trip over the AT-AT with tow cables during the battle of hoth
And was always nicknamed the gorilla walker when it was first seen on crait during the last Jedi film
and it seemed like such a good idea to film outside
The first recorded use of the At-At was during the battle of Jabiim during the clone wars.
Can't decide whether this look or the tanktop is hotter. Looking good, Allen!
Think of it like this.
AT-TE was the Sherman, theoretically inferior everything else and slightly over engineered but still loved by the troops.
AT-AT was the Tiger, disgustingly large and incredibly vulnerable to troops and air attacks, but it’s armor and fire power means it cannot simply be ignored.
No one is going to comment about this dedication to the video holding an umbrella over his laptop while it rains
Geesyl's have described purpose of atat long legs and thety are proably for getting over blockades made from metal poles that atte were notorious for being not able to cross
AT-TE is basically immune to harpoon and tow cables.
And stepping on proton bombs being shot by battle droids
The AT-TE isn't just an armored fighting vehicle, it's a full-on frontline battle tank with infantry capacity. It's basically an AT-AP with infantry. It's like if you combined an MTT and an AAT. The MTT is an armored fighting vehicle. The AT-TE is powerful enough to be its own tank. It's the best of both worlds. The GAR also had stronger vehicles like the SPHA and HAVw-A6 Juggernaut, but they were significantly larger and more expensive. The AT-TE deployed much faster and could traverse more terrain. It could provide light artillery, too.
The AT-TE had so much potential as a weapons platform. I bet you could do anything perhaps have maybe turned it into a proper artillery platform, just cut the back part off and take the top turret off and replace it with an AV-7. But per standard I would change the front cockpit to be more protected, and I'd replace the cannon with a properly enclosed turret.
I think the tank setup for the AT -TE, is smart, because of its low stance. The walkers, as far as the big ones, were a mistake. I would like to see, what a mech would have looked like, in universe. A star wars mech, would be cool.
Please do a video on if the enemy’s where switched because the at-te would be better at anti rebels job because it has more and better anti personal weapons and the at-te is weaker against other vehicles which the rebellion doesn’t have a lot of. The at-at has more heavy weapons good at destroying other vehicles which the Separatist had a lot of. Also because the separatist grouped a lot of battle droids in a small area the at-at heavy weapons that provided a explodes a good area at-at would be good at wiping large amount of battle droids at a time and most of the battlefield‘s are flat terrain with not a lot of cover while during the time of empire most of the battlefields were heavy train through jungles where the AT-te would be better
Don't underestimate the chin mounted MS-1 fire linked heavy laser cannons on the AT-AT!
I always saw the AT-TE as a infantry Fighting vehicle where a AT-AT as a Tank.
my problem with the at-te is why the pilot and the gunner are completely exposed?
The CIS rarely used snipers as far as we have seen.
it fills an apt role very well
I have argued and will always argue that AT-TE is the superior design due to it's flexibility.
But I think these two design would actually really compliment each other, the AT-TE is faster, more flexible and capable of operating in a variety of environments.
The AT-AT on the other hand has heavier weapons, heavier armor and it's weapons are raised on a very high platform making the AT-AT a suitable mobile observation and long range support platform. It would probably also have an easy time serving as a mobile command post, coordinating ground forces and artillery.
When recording this were you in Switzerland? First of august is the national celebration day.
Just a theory.
Greetings Kendoka2
The AT-TE will always be my favorite sci-fi vehicle of all time.
The M10s armour had nothing to do with cost.. it was for weight and situational awareness.. later they had a cover installed.. but this was mainly in case of arty shell fragments.. it reduced awareness and was therefore a trade off.. having no top also means the crew can escape rather more easily if required..
The AT-AT usually carried several speeder bikes and could be modified to carry an AT-ST.
Though the legs and underbelly are it's weak points, good luck doing anything with that. At Hoth we see entrenched rebel infantry with numerous heavy weapon systems spend the entire battle targeting the legs and fail to even slow them down. Unless your name is Luke Skywalker (or somebody else with main character powers) you're very unlikely to cause any damage.
In short it depends what sort of vehicle you want, if you want something to transport infantry to the front lines and hang around to shoot at heavier targets the AT-ET is better.
If you want something that crushes through enemy lines before disembarking an infantry force to mop up whats left than the AT-AT is better.
Literally land mines. Blowing up/off one footpad on an AT-AT cripples the whole machine.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Gonna have to get some very big unconventional "landmines" to destroy the giant armored feet. The AT-AT also has sensors in the feet, though I don't know if these would detect landmines or not
@@nicholasfarrell5981 The ATAT is literally anti land mine
@@_kommandant_3055 it would depend on the materials used
I'm confused because we see 2 kinds of LAATs in sw, one fitted for carrying people and one fitted for carrying AT-TEs and the troop carrying variety is by far more common. But you can fit a clone platoon inside a atte. And if the usual battle order is 1 atte per platoon, why are you landing troops separately when they could fit in the atte to begin with. Actually it almost seems like you could fit more clones in an atte carried by a gun ship than in the troop carrying gunship. In the show there looks like closer to 2 squads around 20 clones than a full platoon around 30 in the gunships.
AT-TE were not as powerful as the AT-AT, however that does not take away from their functionality. It was a vehicle made for an army. That means you could employ a lot of them in a short period of time, creating multiple points of attack. Meanwhile it would take significant resources to employ the AT-AT in battle. More than likely, they would only come in one direction. It was a show piece while the AT-TE was a rugged work mule.
The AT-AT and AT-TE were VERY different vehicles meant for very different assault methods. It is true that land mines were a huge issue, you showed a clip of AT-TEs turning into airplanes for a second as they were blown up by ground explosives. An AT-AT I suspect has much more armor on the foot pad of each leg making that able to take a blast without blowing the whole fuselage of the walker apart. The armor is an obvious big difference, the AT-AT being able to take a direct shot from a missile (the things used on that planet with the shield, what the hell was it called, can't remember, in any case, those weren't AT-ATs, they had the big open cavity in the middle for holding god knows what, that's a huge vulnerability point making a fighter shooting the right spot able to collapse the whole walker).
AT-TEs could be used with the magnetic clamps on the feet to walk on space vessels and mount assaults that way, that's something AT-ATs would probably struggle with as they need more flat terrain to operate without falling over whereas the AT-TE could walk over just about any turret, airlock, module or other obstacle with ease.
Just some things to consider but I don't think either walker is better or worse.
I’m really glad you gave that American conversion, because wtf is a Kilometer
Just a note: all landing crafts on the Normandy landing was piloted by British sailors
Its good to hear my name.🤟😆
The At-AT was good for firepower support , but got ground forces AT-TE was perfect for support
Awesome bro. You rock!
see, a really smart move would have been to fuse the two together to create some sort AT-Armoured Enforcer (AE). take all the good of the ATTE (rear guns, powerful top turret. maybe make it be able to get lower to the ground for easier deployment of troops.) and all the good of the ATAT, better armour, heavier hitting guns, more intimidating height.
also, I'm not sure if there is already and ATAE in cannon or legends, just figured that would be the best name for a fused walker of the ATAT and ATTE
The older imperial model from JFO and Rebels does in fact have a back turret and is taller
I think the AT-AT wins out in terms of armour protection and fire rate (in terms of the heavy guns, not the light turrets though), but as a vehicle with the ability to serve in many varied environments, I feel that the AT-TE is a better all-round choice. In order to get that higher rate of fire the AT-AT sacrefices its anti-infantry capabilities almost entirely and its heignt made it vulnerable to trip hazards. Again, the decision of what to equip the military with seems to be more about image than function. The AT-ST makes more sense in a lot of situations because it was all-round faster to deploy, lighter and needed a smaller crew. Rather than the AT-AT which is slow, and heavy leading to deployment issues, it would have made a lot more sense in most cases to upgrade the AT-ST design to include a shield generator.
6:30 finally he acknowledges that we in the states have no clue what a kilometer is. Also aren’t you in the US most of the time?
Take the At-At chassis and throw it on some tracks or on some repulsors and you got a real have armored tank troop carrier
Not only it was small but it was fast plus it pushes an at at and plus it got shot more than ten times but it didn’t go down
How would the AT-TE have done on the Battle of Hoth vs during the Clone wars battles,.. from a strategic standpoint. in destroying the shield generators and defense against the snowspeeders & ground troops perhaps? Or how would the AT-AT have done in some of the critical clone wars battles had the Army of the Grand Republic against the Separatists: Geonosis, or..some other critical battle if the AT-AT had been available at that time?
The AT-TE was built for heavy warfare and the AT-AT was built for opposing Guerrilla warfare.
See, Clone Wars veterans couldn’t really fight the rebels well, because they were used to fighting many many enemies and wiping them out in waves, whereas the Rebellion employed very different tactics. They didn’t have the numbers, so all they needed was to outsmart the Empire, not outgun them. The AT-TE wouldn’t be able to take out the Rebels on Hoth, the Rebellion would’ve wiped it out in an instant. The separatists would’ve just fired cannon shots at it until it exploded, whereas the Rebels would find the AT-TE’s weak points, exploit the FUCK out of it, and repeat. It’s a different enemy, thus they needed different machines.
Man what a tongue twister with all those acronyms lol
What about ATTE vs ATM6? Or whatever the gorilla walkers called by the inept first order.
if i was in the empire and in control id keep the atte and also have the AT-AT have 4 AT-TE's and an AT-AT in the back for a command post
way to power through the weather : )
I am not disagreeing with Alan's conclusions at all but I have always called the tech advancement of Star Wars for it's inconsistency over time. The Old Republic tech was reliable enough that they were still using things like the Hammerhead cruisers thousands of years after they were developed, like the battle of Scarif. Based on the fact that we see portable shields and stealth generators it seems like Star Wars tech levels fluctuate from time to time as it is. I don't argue that the armor and guns on the AT-AT were more powerful but I think that its simply because it's bigger so it can carry more armor and a more powerful reactor. Every time I see the AT-AT verses the AT-TE fight I can't help but think that the fight would have been less one sided if the AT-TE had been new. The fight we see is an AT-AT with all of the resources of the empire behind it, new parts, new ammo, fully stocked mechanics bays, against an AT-TE that is 10-15 years old, fixed with whatever junk the clones can get their hands on, probably old and/or mismatched ammo, scrapped together fuel supply, etc. I have no doubt that the clone mechanics are competent but there's only so much that can be done with junk to repair a military vehicle. I know that they are two different purpose built walkers but I'm pretty sure an old WWII battleship could pose a serious threat to a new destroyer if properly maintained and equipped.
TL:DR I think that the AT-TE would be more competitive against the AT-AT if it was new and had access to government resources for maintenance and resupply like the AT-AT. Also Star Wars tech curves are bogus.
As the name states it is an “enforcement” unlike the at at which is a “transport”
You forgot to mention that the AT-TE main gun could be controlled without an exposed gunner up top (just watch AOTC or ROTS and you will see it firing without being manned externally).
Fails from the movies
The turbo tank would be my go to from clone wars
Are you video recording from Geonosis? Kinda sounds like it. 😄
The AT-AT was a vehicle meant for the front lines, it's high legs would not only make it capable of easily passing through debri and small barriers made my enemy artillery but also difficult to be boarded by the energy due to its sheer height. This combined with it's heavy armor would turn it into a difficult walker to take down.
The AT-TE however was far more versatile, while not as heavily armoured it's 6 legged structure made it far more stable, making it capable of traversing trough difficult terrain and even walk on walls, this paired with its massive cannon on the back made it no only an excellent troop transport but a capable besiege vehicle and long range mobile artillery
You mean AT-TE for the second one?
@@hellod9013 oh yeah for some reason it corrected me to AT-AT, thanks man
AT TE was actually a better vehicle for crew survivability, The point of a IFV is not to be a indestructible thing, the goal of IFV is to tank the incoming round for the crew and troopers inside it and allow the troops to survive, which in many cases the ATTE proved him self it has done a good job to protect the crew and troops inside( except the gunners outside).
But the AT AT I believe they fail to do such things, simply one thing is the height of the AT AT. The AT AT is 7 stories tall walker, once the walker was strike by something causing them to fail, the crew inside will experience a 7 floor drop in a metal box, just like you are trap in a falling elevator, which i think it is the most deadly thing causing the troops life, but in other hand AT TE won’t suffer such hazards because it is much closer to the ground.
I think ATAT can tank some starfighter firepower no problem. Otherwise the Echo base will never need to hurry when retreating, they have multiple X-wing and Y-wing fighters in their hangars.
I just realized Jedi wouldn’t like the Imperial military given how slow, bulky, and unadaptable it was. The Republic military is smaller, faster, and can better adapt. I mean, don’t Jedi Starfighters integrate a little too well with Republic Starfighters, but are more different compared to Tie Fighters? Though Jedi starfighters also lack their own hyperdrives, but they have those hyper rings and they also have astromechs. To be fair to the Imperial military, it eliminates several issues with the Republic military like armor and firepower, but it just creates its own issues.
The AT-TE was a more specialised vehicle better suited for the role of ‘tank’ in my opinion, it had less obvious weaknesses that the towering AT-AT had, as per seen, many, many times in the star wars franchise.
Just out of preference the AT-TE is a better vehicle in my opinion
Old but gold 🤟😎
I am indeed American, and your measurements don't make any sense my dude, but otherwise,, love your videos, keep up the work
Honestly, a combined arms approach would have made the rebellion victory almost impossible. The Battle of Hoth would have been a slaughter if the AT-TE was combined with the AT-AT. Use the AT-TE to scale the cliffs and flank the rebel scum.
With it's exposed cockpit in the front and completely exposed gunner, I always thought the AT-TE was a repurposed utility vehicle the republic had to make on the fly, like converting a Toyota into a technical by putting a recoilless rifle on its bed.
The AT-AT isn’t actually an evolution of the AT-TE. It’s an evolution of the Turbo Tank
Have you ever done star wars Dnd?
What about the AT-M6?
I understand the reference to "yokuls" but is is it really warranted?
Yes
The AT-TE driver and turret gunner can be killed by one guy with a blaster rifle while the AT-AT is nearly impervious to infantry
at te is a lot like the venator. not as tanky but way better. and looks cooler
If a AT-TE is a Swiss army knife an AT-AT is a hatchet
Edit: your being to harsh on the AT-AT the problem isn’t the walker it’s the implementation an AT-AT can’t stand alone it’s a front assault vehicle it therefore needs support like any frontal assault sure it’s vulnerable to infantry but couple it with a suitable amount of AT-STs and make sure you have fighters in the air (which you need to have anyway otherwise your f’ed) the battle of Hoth is an example where everything was stacked against the empire except for their base military Might: they had no fighters because of the planetary shield, they were attacking a highly motivated and heavily dug in opponent that had the capability to easily eliminate the AT-AT’s support vehicles and they still won the day only losing two AT-ATs
Tldr: the at-at was crippled by implementation and circumstance not design though deciding it needed to carry troops was unnecessary.
The AT-TE was much better without a doubt. You always want your AFVs to have an as low profile as possible, increasing survival (lower chances to be hit) lower chances to be spotted, and the ability to use cover in a hill down position. The AT-TE also was more stable, and could handle much more terrain. It was transported easier, and could fight in space and on vertical surfaces. It’s main cannon being mounted on top gives it a 360 degree FOV, and allows it to fight hull down without exposing any of its chassis except for its roof and main gun. It was also better defended then the AT-AT, with anti infantry cannons mounted at all angles. It also worked better as a mobile FOB, as it had more storage space inside and again, was smaller and easier to move. It was also safer and easier for its mounted infantry to dismount quickly and safer in combat, unlike the AT-AT which had to have its troops repel in the open. It was cheaper, more effective, better as a transport, heavy battle tank, mobile fob, and better armament.
Well, the atat is much more armored..
@@VictoryFireStudios and what good does any of that armor do if it can only operate in very specific circumstances? Oh boy it can take a few extra shots, maybe. Perhaps. Combat doesn’t work on hit points and stuff ya know? A stray shot from something powerful enough hits the underbelly or the knee join? That AT-AT is coming down. And an AT-AT taking catastrophic damage is going to always result in the entire crew and compliment of mounted infantry dying. An experienced crew/soldiers are always worth more then the AFV. When a AT-TE gets a leg taken out, it can keep walking. And when it gives out, it doesn’t turn everyone inside into mush. Not to mention, all it takes is a single fire team of sneaky enough rebel saboteurs, a few good heavy armed hover tanks (like AATs) in a flank or ambush position, and the AT-AT is going to we a huge waste of resources unless it’s accompanied by enough escort forces. Which, is expected. Never send armor alone. But I digress, fantastic as a firing platform, or siege vehicle? Yea. Is it better in the job then the AT-TE? Probs not all things regarded. Don’t forget the amount of infrastructure and logistics gonna be needed to deploy a single AT-AT and it’s compliment of escorting forces...
I have come to realize there is not a damn thing the Galactic Empire does that tactically makes sense. A planet destroyer not only eliminates resources for your empire, it is the best recruiting tool for an insurgentcy. At-At’s are so obviously flawed it needs no explanation. Stormtroopers have armor that doesn’t protect them and also conceals their identity from their own officers. As much as I love this channel it’s almost silly to seriously analyze the Empire from a tactical standpoint. I think that George Lucas never meant to create bad guy that made sense in any meaningful way, but rather is an artistic representation of a fascist, arrogant, imposing and evil beurocracy
Is there one for the atst and atrt
The empire should have never got rid of the republic ships and walkers
They could have had a good strategy on hoth if they had ATTE
Considering you can't use it's own center of gravity against it to knock it down with a steel cable... Yes. Not even a comparison.
No. No, it is not. One rocket to the cockpit and the AT-TE is down. To take down an AT-AT, you'd need to perform a complex maneuver that can get you killed, and it becomes impossible when the AT-ATs march side-by-side in groups of two so that when you try to lasso one, you slam into the legs of the other. Not to mention that a full-power blast from an AT-AT is as powerful as a tactical nuke, as we saw during the Battle for Hoth when Veers fired a full-power blast on the shield generator.
also that manover on hoth is easy to counter by just Standing still or moving much slower . it was more Luck and one off trick by the rebels.
@@laisphinto6372 Or just have the AT-ATs march side by side. When a snowspeeder tries to trip one walker, it will smash into the legs of another walker. That was how General Veers canonically countered the tow cable threat.
This makes me think... Is the droid tank better. It is pretty fast.
So... I guess it is save to say that both vehicles have their own benefits and faults, right?
I think the AT-TE was inspired by the M1128.
If I was a senator I would be asking for a full and independent medical evaluation.. those don't look like normal scars on a humans face.. is it even the Chancellor
I think if the Empire thought logically they would use them in tandem in a pseudo counter insurgency mechanized force. Having them operate in 6-8 units at a time, having 1-2 AT-ATs with, 3-4 AT-TEs and then supported by a much faster vehicle make up the rest to chase down runners. The ATs being huge armored distractions while the TEs full of clones/Stromies clear buildings or fortifications.
Furthermore, potentially in the battle of Hoth, using ATs to help accurately direct TEs long range indirect fire against rebel positions or hangers. Maybe could have actually destroyed the shield generator without wasting time.
It is the difference between a goa'uld staff weapon
And a gun
Generation Tech really filmed in a war zone for this episode.
4th of July be like that
Man I bet a lance of Locust LCT-1V could clean the clock of mechanized troopers from sw
Or star of clan Omni Mechs + 2 points of elementals I bet could wipe out entire units from sw.
4:13 wait he's still in Poland?
The American measurements though 😆
Are you in switzerland?
