5 Deadliest Air Speeders (Aircraft) in Star Wars Legends | Star Wars Top 5

[@armycowboy4313]

I wish the v-wing had a space version I love the aircraft probably because it look so close to my favorite fighter in scifi the F-302 from Stargate

[@bostonrailfan2427]

the V-Wing is literally the elder brother of the TIE fighter, they were the evolution of the design in a space direction

[@victorvance2573]

If you are looking for more footage of the Skyhopper, it is flown in the first mission of Star Wars: Rebel Assault.

[@serbobertross5948]

Love your vids man. Really interesting and well done. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@bcmm1880]

Rogue Squadron games were amazing and loved them when they came out, they should make more

[@jacobweatherford4696]

I always liked the sky hoppers they just have a really cool design.

UNSC Spirit of Fire vs Battlestar Pegasus *Still not giving up!

[@cominguponinfra-red3038]

+CaptainFusou *DON'T GIVE UP!!*

[@dragon111409]

Sounds pretty good but i mean the Spirit of Fire was no toy i mean .. 1 good MAC round . Not to mention the massive marine and a spartan detachment . So It's A fantasy Halo Ship VS a ship somewhat based on More real world physics ship in the Pegasus . Fantasy always wins.

[@itsyaboidaniel2919]

Blacklight vs Flood *Still not giving up!*

[@ESFNinja]

Daniel Van I honestly wouldn't mind to see that

[@squishy1706]

Need some Forerunners v Necrons too...

[@FancyGonkBoi]

Are there any regular comments left in the vast ocean of Versus suggestions

[@Zeoinx69]

So the T-47 Airspeeder's modifications for anyone who is interested, actually have Y-Wing Cockpits, as they were a bit more "armored" as well as enhanced repulsorlift engines to allow it to move a lot smoother across random terrain when flying lower. The T-47 speeder also was originally just a cargo puller, so imagine it as large tow truck or a 18 Wheeler Truck Cab.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

makes sense since Luke was a farmer…the weapons were for anti-vermin and anti-rustler roles

[@kitsychan]

The best way to think of why combat air speeders exist is to think of it this way. Many planets do not have massive budgets. During the different wars most of their budget might have been tithed away to one faction or another, by choice or otherwise. As well, a planet under Imperial protection might not "need" a Space arm. The imperials would provide garrisons for key locations, but the planet itself would have its own standing army/militia. And this is where speeders come in. Any persons being contributed to an Imperial campaign would be equipped by the empire, but for home/local defense, they would be equipped by the planet who, due to budget restrictions, production limitations, and such wouldn't be designing their own star fighters but instead simply design air speeders. This would also explain the many variants of some air speeders as each planet would customize them for their own use. The problem is, for a small mobile group like the rebels, Air speeders actually don't make a lot of sense in that they can't escape on their own. They need a freighter or a carrier, and since they are almost as large if not larger then some star fighters, then building/using pure star fighters WOULD make more sense. Except for the fact that again, the rebels were desperate for equipment, and some planets might... misplace some of their speeders at times. As well IF a speeders energy output was low enough, it might escape imperial sensors (again, IF we follow the detection ranges we see and are given of a few miles only) small speeders COULD get lost in ground clutter and be an effective hit and run weapon on occupied planets. A tactic that would work and has been employed during WW1 and 2 would be... hitting a target and running away, if/when fighters try and intercept, lead the fighters to preset AA locations, in star wars, this would be man portable, launched missiles. A single one would likely take out a tie fighter... so you could see a speeder whipping over a few hidden ground troops who fire at the perusing ties. one done they then disappear into the ground cover... and the air speeder flys back to some barn, and parks for rearming.

[@irish14sean]

Very happy to see the V-Wing finally get some screen time! +Like

[@rahlmaclaren1478]

It's hilarious when the cluster seeker missiles go bouncing through the air to get a clear shot of the target.

[@BeBetter22992]

Alpha ARC troopers vs elite ultras

[@cominguponinfra-red3038]

Dew it!

[@casbot71]

Related video suggestion : best compact speeders. The kind of speeder that you could carry and deploy from a light Freighter, Gunship ect. Two Sun categories - speeder bikes and enclosed speeders. The kind of thing a adventurer would deploy. And perhaps another related category, most compact ships - if you want to be more versatile than carrying a speeder and want something that can get into space, but still be carried as light cargo…

my action fleet skyhopper was one of my favorite toys growing up. That whole line of toys was spot on.

[@DaRealLetterH]

Oh my god the v wing is one of my favorite ships (in star wars rogue squadron n64)

[@alexnavarro6941]

I still remember the V-wing from Rogue Squadron, played it for years until it wasn't compatible with my newer Windows OS. I had all the medals and everything, and it's right now with this video, that I know it had a rapid fire option for the blasters...

[@LoliFoxQueen]

A three way war between the flood, the borg, and the reapers. or the scimitar class dreadnought vs an executor class super star destroyer. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!

[@jamesharbinger1711]

I’d say the biggest military boon for speeders is that they are significantly cheaper that a full fledged aerospace fighter. Easier to produce, and could be kitted out with respectable weapons. It’s more bang for your buck, and every penny counts in warfare

[@bostonrailfan2427]

the PTB-625 has a role that fit best in the Clone Wars: it’s a clear war weapon, used in invasions to first secure the landing zone then provide support. once that’s finished they’re moving on to the next invasion

Scorpian Tank(Halo) vs Imperial Hovertank

[@matthalo871]

I loved the v-wing it was so fun just sucked at slow speeds

[@ratshitstrap8622]

I was going to type something but i forgot what :/

[@Slesh1989]

EckhartsLadder You might have missed the Lancet Aerial Artillery, which is designated as a repulsorcraft, but I think fits into the video. Stay awesome bro :)

[@eezaak21]

Wow! The Rogue Squadron footage brought back many memories. EA should make another one....with microtransactions!

[@BRTigershark]

'' This is a new craft, fast light and unpredictable, the v-wing carries 2 blaster cannons that can be fired in a normal rate or in the rapid fire position, rapid fire is useful for strafing ground targets but it can overwhelm the cooling unit and often cause a complete burnout, in addition the thrust engines have been modified to supply an incredible amount of power of a short distance, this is generally used to evacuate the pilot from a dangerous area as the v-wing carries no shield and very little armament, that said the v-wing is extremely nimble and stealthy and is an even match for most adversary.'' My childhood was this game LOL, I can still remember the description off all ships, hell ill probably able to say the intro of all missions.

[@aceofmangos3509]

What about the tie striker?

[@octo8715]

I dont think that counts, it can still go in space. but then, would the PTB-625 would count

[@Meirstein]

Wookiepedia classifies the striker as an atmospheric craft. However, lower in the comments he says that he was only dealing with legends.

[@TaunTaunTundra4477]

delta class t3c shuttle I was about to comment that it isn't a speeder

[@SirAroace]

why? legends only would be dumb

[@connorjohnson7834]

He probably would do a cannon list as well

[@cominguponinfra-red3038]

Replicators vs a Unified Star Wars universe (29th try, *EARLY!! NEEEEEEEVER EEEEVER GIVING UP!!!!)* nice vid sLadder

[@jekubfimbulwing5370]

I like how you focus on the small T-16 model Luke's playing with whilst ignoring the full sized ship in the background, just visible through the door. That PTB-625 looks a HELL of a lot like the ARC-170

[@bostonrailfan2427]

decades later that toy he played with becomes a point of contention in Star Wars and showed a link hinted at in the movie…plus it wasn’t clear that it was that very T-16 that was mentioned in the smack talk to Wedge before the battle, it could have been machinery or a different speeder and the PTB is clearly its ground pounder brother: sacrificing space flying ability for heavy support role…

[@squishy1706]

Forerunners v Necrons, war in heaven level. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!!

I love this Channel man. When you reach 1 million subscribers im gonna say I was here since 60k subscribers. Peace from Puerto Rico.

Holy heck when did you upload this 3:00am lol any way I'm glad you back I thought you might be ill any way here is my suggestion. MASS EFFECT VS EVE ONLINE. Respect people.

[@ECCastiron]

a couple of points on this video, 1.) I would take a Talon I over a skyhopper any day. It had 2 blaster cannons, Immense speed (1500kph) and a very high operational ceiling (100km). Granted the skyhopper was faster, but the talon was more maneuverable, and had slightly better weaponry. 2.) the PTB-625 is by far the best speeder mentioned here imo. While I cant fins stats on speed (it has the same 100km ceiling) I cant believe it would be a slow moving craft (with "large engines"). with that in mind it has roughly 30% more fire power than the V wing plus the bombing capability.

[@dineshpatel3358]

U should do mc140 scythe vs imperial 2 star destroyer for galactic versus

[@turtlebeng]

You should do one on ground speeders: fast repulsorlift vehicles that can only fly a few feet above the ground, and piloted by a single or two people, like what we see on Endor or Tatooine.

How long can the Prototype suit from Halo Legends survive against a stormtrooper Legion

[@BeBetter22992]

Considering it took on an entire covenant battalion and wrecked them, no stormtrooper legion could have a chance. The prototype would slaughter those imperials for days And if he was surrounded by at at's, he could always detonate himself and obliterate everything

[@psyrus728]

kurtis vandermiller Also the use of firearms in the halo universe would allow them to easily defeat Jedi, as a Jedi’s lightsaber would deflect a blaster bolt but turn a bullet into melted metal shrapnel.

You forgot that the V - wing speeder has a mode where it could temporarily boost itself to extra super high speeds. At least, I know this from having played Star Wars Rogue Squadron 64. You use one of the yellow triangle buttons (forgot which one - maybe > button).

Dear lord that level on Mon Calamari in Rogue Squadron was a nightmare when I was a little kid. That being said I still thought the V-wing was awesome.

Eckheartsladder, i can't help the feeling about that V-wing is quite similar to nym's havoc bomber in the ps2 starfighter franchise, wouldn't you say? Personally, its almost like a heavily modified version of such a craft, even fitted suitable for optimal space combat.

[@nicholaslapadat5195]

Nice choice of intro music.

[@UncleMikeDrop]

I think it would be really cool if they would make a Starfighter based on the design aspect of the B wing airspeeder. It just looks so cool and it's highly maneuverable. With an upgrade and size some better weapons and some shielding it would make a pretty effective Starfighter.

[@Myportie]

I always thought the pod racing should have been airspeeder racing. Obi-Wan said Anakin was a great pilot when they 1st met. However, pod racing is more like driving than flying. Anakin didn't fly until after he'd met Obi-Wan.

[@k-874]

Skyhopper because you only need experience and you're qualified to fly an X-wing

[@nickvinsable3798]

What is the TIE Striker classified as? Personally, even if some craft are designed to be more effective in Atmospheric Combat rather than Space Combat, I personally believe that both that Republic Bomber & the TIE Striker are what I'd refer to as Planetary Entry Airspeeders. The strategy focus is that shortly before the carrier craft enters the atmosphere, its craft launches to attack ANYTHING that has its sights on the carrier, a sort of duel defense where the Heavier Bombers (i.e. the Carrier) are attacking the Light Anti-Air Positions while the GAPs (i.e. the TIE Stiker) are attacking the Heavy Anti-Air Positions.
