I was just a door guard on the Deathstar during my early days with the Empire. It sucked, lots of long hours and low pay but I was happy & honored to just be a part of the organization then I got a shot at being a pilot, went through training successfully and was assigned to a standard TIE fighter squadron. Flew in many battles against the rebels and shot down many X-Wings & a few Y-Wings as well. After about 30 successful mission sorties, I was promoted to the Royal Guard and assigned my own TIE Interceptor. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it's beauty, very fast & agile & never let me down. I'm retired now and living in cloud city, I miss those days very much though, that was the time of my life...

It kind of makes sense. If you keep the same size, a manned fighter needs oxygen and life support, extra room for the pilot, room for instrument panels and controls, where the drone basically just needs a computer and the rest of the space can be taken up by armor plating or frankly anything else you feel like bolting on.

I love the concept and design of TIE fighters. But the one thing that's always bothered me is their lack of visibility to the rear and sides. Doesn't that severely handicap the pilots in dogfights? Has it been explained in the lore at all how they compensate for this lack of visibility?

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

the helmets very likely have a HUD....ever notice how some times TIE pilots look to the side when getting shot from theside or rear it's to look at the target in the HUD

[@sharrant8541]

The standard T.I.E. Fighter contained no shields, hyperdrive, and the first iteration’s weaponry was prime to overheating because the Empire didn’t want to spend money on coolant. T.I.E. pilots had shorter life expectancy than literally any other member of the Empire, or Rebellion for that matter. They were literally expected to run around and do their best to not get shot without knowing where they’re being shot from.

[@jameseisenbraun5088]

@@sharrant8541 “expendable”

[@arthurmonbaron]

If you can put cams on a road legal car I think they could put some on their fighters

[@its_dey_mate]

People explained how they can see, but my answer is more practical: The TIE-s were cheap SUPER mass produced units that valued quantity over quality and turned it up to 11. To compensate with Tarkin's doctrine, the Empire trained their pilots to the absolute extreme. On average they were the finest soldiers in the galaxy. It is truly unfortunate they were given the ties to work with (or not...I guess, since that made the rebels winning possible?). The average Empire pilot if given for example an A-wing, X-wing or a more mass produced Interceptor would dominate 8/10 dog fights when outnumbered.

[@ArmouredProductions]

I absolutely adore the TIE Series designs, with the TIE Interceptor being ranked among my top favorite Sci-fi Ship designs. However if I was a pilot I would never get into any of these spherical coffins ever. Even better models with shields & hypredrives such as the Advanced X1 and Defender, because anyone can see how terrible the cockpit is. In aerial/space combat, awareness is top priority and you need 180 - 360 degree FOV and up as well.

[@ArmouredProductions]

EDIT: Though the TIE Phantom has an acceptable cockpit and overall efficient design, but it requires 2 crew, pilot and gunner.

[@jerryudonneedtoknow3903]

Tie phantom is the best hands down, looks awesome and threatening, is effective, is somewhat mass producable.

[@sethb3090]

In the story, it would have been very mass-producible, but like most things that would have given the Empire an edge, the production facility got sabotaged by Rebels and then the Emperor got upset and scrapped the project. Basically they'd built another superlaser called the Tarkin (which, you know, also got sabotaged), and Grand Admiral Martio Batch ordered it used on the lava planet Aeten II, blowing the planet open and allowing lots of stygium crystals to be mined for the cloaking devices.

Actually, the TIE Oppressor was not the first answer to the Y-Wing used by the Rebel Alliance. The TIE MFP was the first answer. Much like the Oppressor, the MFP was a starfighter-bomber hybrid ship that could destroy capital ships with its warhead launcher on the top of the ship between two cockpits and can fight against enemy fighter-to-fighter combat ships. This TIE also included shields and a hyperdrive along with its warhead launcher on top of the fighter and side guns underneath the front of the fighter. The rear cockpit was used for a gunner including a turbolaser turret to defend against enemy ships from behind

It looks more like there's some kind of spacious room up there with several vertical windows, like the pilot's personal lounge featuring a minifridge, Dejarik table and a hot tub with a view.

[@walker68175]

LN means "Line". The official name of the TIE fighter is "TIE/Line Fighter." As for the TIE Scout, yes that box thing is space for troops. It is a reconnaissance ship, the only one which doesn't need capital ship support.

[@ross1633]

It's odd that TFA only had X-Wings and TIE Fighters, hopefully Episode VIII has some other types.

[@StarWarsExplained]

+Ross T I agree. The Poe Dameron comic has at least confirmed A-Wings are still around at that time. I'm sure we'll see more in the coming films.

[@ross1633]

I'm sure they will too :)

[@IAmEvilTree]

+Ross T Maybe they only used them because they wanted to make a more classic SW experience and most people are familiar with the TIE's and X-wings.

[@RyukLuvApples]

+André TM i don't think there will be "new" anything for the Resistance, as the movie took some time to point out that there were using junk and old stuff, A-wings, sure but unless they got themselves a rich backer it will be old school.

[@RyukLuvApples]

+Ross T but the Tie had way more weapons and could fire backwards ! which is kinda cool.... if you like tie fighters ...

[@jasonrailton7990]

What about the Assault TIE that appeared in the comics once? Looked like a heavy-duty version of the Interceptor.

Great video and all the tie fighters are cool.

[@tomahawk1556]

Thank You So Much for this Enjoyable Presentation of the Imperial TIE Fighter variants ... Stay Safe & Stay Grateful! 🌍

[@bobbert516]

Imagine the explosion that the TIE punisher would cause. with FULL inventory

[@biggdipper7083]

MY favorites are 1: tie defender 2: tie phantom 3: SF tie fighter

[@cpob2013]

FINALLY a true eu star wars video. none of that disney crap

[@ufukcangencoglu2279]

Cut out "True Star Wars" and bs like that. It is just used by haters who want an umbrella term they can twist into meaning whatever they want It to mean

[@bmwloganm5492]

Great video! I found the TIE Hunter and the experimental TIE's most interesting, again GREAT VIDEO!

[@blazebomber4567]

When it comes to Imperial Starships, I will play as; TIE Bomber TIE Punisher So, in Star Wars games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2, give me the role of the Bombers and obviously I'm going to need Fighter cover, but if I need to fight off my attackers...then I'll have to see what I can do

[@sh3n3ng]

this video is like Bangkok, so many ties.

[@lololololy6303]

KW. 😂😂😂

[@zollen123]

I love Thai fighters.

[@letusbeatthemeat9805]

This comment is like Bangkok So many *TIEs*

[@caffeinesoup3169]

I like Thai fighters to, there good at trench runs

[@jjenkinson4344]

I've been reading a book that talks about a chiss clawcraft. I googled it and it looks a lot like a tie devastator or tie reaper. Was thinking a video comparing the clawcraft to some of the tie fighters would be cool. Or just one specific to the chiss clawcraft if you haven't already done that.

[@BierBart12]

I always loved the Tie Defender. It fulfilled the same niche as the B-Wing in Empire at War, but was so much better in lore Its design feels like a natural progression trying to get rid of some of the most glaring tie fighter issues, too.

[@goldenface2688]

Some reason everytime I hear a Tie Fighter scream it makes me smile. I love these things.

[@PisauraXTX]

Technically, the TIE boarding shuttle appeared in Episode IV. The Imperials used it to board Tantive IV after catching it in their hangar. The VIP transport was used by one of the captains in Episode V to transfer between ships. I think it was when he personally apologized to Vader and got choked.

[@barrybend7189]

i would love to see legends tie fighter designs appear in the new cannon like the tie phantom, the chiss claw craft, tie hunter.

[@billmarmot2069]

No ship that small could have a cloaking device!!

[@Bone-fd5tj]

That one does 😏

[@PpAirO5]

My favourites: TIE Aggressor TIE Advanced X1 Inquisitor TIE TIE Bomber TIE Defender TIE Interceptor The TIE Interceptor has always been one of my absolut favourite TIE Fighter. Most of the other TIE Fighters i can't acknowledge, and i won't accept them in any way.

[@joeymulvaney1664]

I was 7 when episode 1 came out. It was my introduction to starwars. My dad was so against that idea he actually opened his collector's set of the original trilogy so I could watch them instead. When I loved them as much as he did, he bought me a bunch of figures over the next few years. My first toy ship was the TIE advanced, and it could fit figures into the cockpit, blast a missile, and lose it's wings. Bc of that, the tie advanced will always be my favorite

[@mfpope7431]

Why would you need different types of wings in space

[@elijahacc1276]

Because otherwise it'll look like floating balls in space

[@revivvles6736]

I know the chiss clawcraft is real for sure...

[@leahwatson4539]

The tie defenders are in Star Wars battlefront now.

[@WeissnichtsVomLeben]

And in rebels... Canon guys

[@pizzatime4700]

+weissnicht01 wait there in rebels how did they ruin it?

[@pizzatime4700]

+Ocelot456 Gaming also there very unfair along with the b-wing "o hey I just one shot you from half way across the map" or "hey that guys at full health let's fix that and put him at 3"

[@yog7439]

Logan Macdonald There's always one hater

[@ritomsen2294]

Provided me with a lot of information! Amazing video!

[@mishunewsstudios2394]

Watching all of your videos is like Star Wars school

[@MarlsbysDragons]

Awesome video. Only one question: are you sure it's the Big Gun, and not the Biggun (short for big one)? I only ask because of the spelling.

[@Charaqat]

My favorite Star Wars ship, the Belator Class Super Star Destroyer, c'mon can't say it is not beautiful with the thousands of turbolasers embedded across the entire hull.

[@TheThingInMySink]

+Vrox11 Imagine crewing a Mon Cal class when a Bellator turns it's bow towards you, that's 99% of the guns onboard pointing straight at you, i'd shit my pants in less terrifying situations. I once counted all the turrets in fractalsponges model and it made over a few hundred if i remember right

[@Charaqat]

Yep. Belator's, if they were mass produced to replace the ISD-2, Empire would've won, since the Belator is basically given as much fire power to cost to build the ship ratio, to make the Executor class too big, too expensive, and under armed, compared to the amount of Belators that can be made for the price of one Executor Class. Like, one Executor could be replaced with 6-10 Belators, for the same price, more guns, and more ships, more targets to not have one giant target to hit like what happened when the A-Wing took out the controls for the Executor, if that was 6 or 10 Belators, there'd still be 5-9 more to kill everything still.

[@thecatfather857]

I'd be a lot more terrified if an Assertor-Class stared firing on My Ship.

[@wt4629]

Why didn't you include the Chiss Clawcraft?

[@the_freebeard]

+The West Will Rise Again! THIS!

[@skyslasher2297]

The West Will Rise Again! Cause its technically not a tie model

[@ericlawrence9060]

In one of the books there was a Tie figher made out of some sort of material that was indestructable. What was it called?

[@mikedittsche]

You made a small mistake at 8:20 the TIE-Interceptor has no chin mounted laser cannons but four laser cannons at the wing tips.

[@Jckuz1man]

I hope to see some of those legends tie fighters are in rogue one

[@JLPicard1648]

Unfortunately, ion engines are pretty bad for a fighter. The benefit of them is that you can leave them on for years but they have insanely low thrust. Actual twin ion engine ships would not be maneuverable. In real life, ion engines are used for long-term interplanetary missions, such as the Dawn spacecraft, but this takes years and doesn't make sense in a universe with FTL.

[@greernelson7419]

You clearly think star wars is accurate science fiction. It's not. It's science fantasy.

[@LAV-III]

Ben Hamilton i hear it can take years for an ion engine on earth to reach top speed

[@e_web]

But the twin ion engines sound so cool!

[@zhyguirghyuin826]

You forgot the V-wing, technically it is a TIE fighter because all other TIEs were made from its design.

[@acat295]

It’s still not used in cannon or legends only the republic
