AT-AT vs AT-TE

[@CamelSmokes23]

What about the ability for the AT-TE to basically walk up vertical mountains as demonstrated in the clone wars? The AT-TE could essentially take the high ground if the terrain permits.

[@Hairyniggaballs-g8i]

They could just utilize cannons. Well, the empire doesn't use cannons, but they would be a hell of a lot cheaper than an AT-TE

[@thethoughtcriminal8786]

+ Tac Son. Tactically the best positions for the AT-TE's would be closely beside the AT-AT so that speeders can not fly between their legs are wrap grappling hooks around them. The AT-AT could level enemy targets while the AT-TE would be in a support roll and target faster moving targets that would try to move in on the walkers.

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

+Φίλιππος Κωστόπουλος Not exactly. It might be expensive to move the cannons long distances. Also, they are easier to knock out. You could always mount a massive cannon in the hull of the AT-AT, but that presents an equally massive hole in the armor. The AT-TE can go places where even the AT-AT, let alone cannons, can go.

+StuK Pig *cant

I would love to see that happen but I would have to throw in a few AT-AAs for anti-air support because the AT-TE didn't have the ability to target air units and the AT-AT could only hit things in front of it.

[@ArcticWolf00Alpha0]

The AT-AT is very Good in All Terrain, it may only have 4 legs, but those legs are taller and longer than the AT-TEs which means they cover more surface area with every move which makes them difficult to trip. The AT-AT also has a higher profile which means it can identify targets faster and take them out at longer distances.

[@frizz422]

But the AT-AT is or at least seems to be well over two times as powerful... or at least thats the way I interpreted it. So having twice as many AT-TEs may still be a disadvantage.

[@TheBenjacoto]

TONY FRIZZ Yeah you're right to an extent. As the numbers grew the advantage would start to lean towards the AT-TE, I once read a military history book that said in a twelve on ten fight, the two extra men don't make a huge difference, however if it's twelve thousand against ten thousand, then, though the odds are the same, the impact of the difference is far greater. So I'm guessing we'd see something here. Where the cost difference (if indeed there is a difference that would allow more AT-TE's to be put into service) would only swing the battle if it was a large scale battle where the numbers counted for more. ...And I'm going it to way too much depth on a random topic again.

[@EssenceOfThought]

I question that, just look at how tanks during WW2 were utilized. Costs played a massive role in the way victories/defeats occurred as well as the type of tactics utilized. If the AT-TE had better speed I'd suggest baiting AT-AT's with one and flanking to get underneath but since they move about a 1/3rd of the speed of an AT-AT, concealment would likely be better. Utilize the AT-TE's lower build to better conceal it, draw the AT-AT past the hidden AT-TE's towards an exposed one which could be built to cheaper specs and then hit the AT-AT from the side long range.

[@joehill4094]

funny enough, the the AT-TE actually makes sense mechanically

[@markgeorge2200]

except for the fact is uses feet (so hard to imagine right!) which are much slower and less efficient than anything with wheels.... i mean sure it can scale up crevices... but first of all legs that size wouldnt be able to haul an AT TE up, and why need to climb cliffs when you could just be deployed right into the action via aerial transport...

[@fidamdsaini8452]

[@xenon9030]

It may be easy to hit, but even If you see it, you will still probably not penetrate its armor.

[@maxjones503]

Imagine you had a blaster rifle and you were an enemy soldier, in the midst of a battle looking on at one of the two walkers in front of you, the AT-TE, similar height to you, only a few metres taller overall, maybe you can even see the exposed driver, or the AT-AT, standing literally dozens of metres above you, taking anti aircraft guns to it's head without any problem. Like a building sized tank. Personally i would find the latter to be more intimidating. I'm not saying i disagree with you, i'm just asking which would be more terrifying to you.

[@jatzi1526]

Ah, but being a tank isn't the only, or even the best, way to win a battle. Information is key, always, and if you're using AT-AT's then your enemy will almost always know where you are. In addition, due to their size it's pretty easy to hide from them in dense forests or urban areas. Thus your enemy will always have the advantage due to them being able to decide where and when to engage the AT-AT's. When assaulting a fortress or base, like on Hoth, I'd use the AT-AT's due to their immense power. But when fighting an open battle against an enemy I think I'd rather have the AT-TE's due to their smaller size and, I think, better speed and maneuverability. I think their just a little more flexible in how you can use them.

[@dragonweyr44]

I never liked the AT-AT, it had few weaknesses, true, but the weaknesses it DID have were shockingly apparent to a skilled observer. It was too slow, tall and top heavy. It was embarrassingly easy to trip, and the over exposed underbelly was easier to reach than the AT-TE plus the AT-TE could climb sheer rock faces and has been proven to work in space as well, not as a ship of course, but as a quick positioning artillery battery in space. The AT-AT's underbelly was easily penetrated by a lightsaber and it could be destroyed by a single thermal detonator. Quite frankly, I can't understand how the rebels didn't win the ground war on Hoth. The AT-AT is more of a ranged weapons platform and terror weapon than a truly effective tank. Just like the Death Stars, all three of them and the super star destroyers. They should've updated the AT-TE rather than replace them with the AT-ATs

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yeah, and the ridiculous thing is, the Empire could have removed all of the major weaknesses of the AT-AT *if they had only given it tracks instead of legs*

[@dragonweyr44]

AH, but the Star Wars universe doesn't DO tracks, they do walkers, or repulsor lifts. The only species in the Star Wars universe that I've seen that DO use tracked vehicles were the Wookies in Revenge of the Sith

[@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

dragonweyr44 Alright then, give it repulsor lifts. Or even just smaller legs, like the ones on the AT-TE. Just anything to not make the belly of it painfully easy to hit.

[@dragonweyr44]

OR give the underbelly better armor as well. giving it six or even eight legs would have been better as well since it would have made it much, MUCH harder to trip as well. Heavy repulsor lift vehicles made them incredibly slow as well, such as the droid army vehicles the Trade Federation used in Phantom menace as well as the Empires world devastators

This is true but some materials can deflect lightsabers altogether and some can slow their progress substantially. Case in point, did you notice how hard it was for Qui Gon Jinn to cut through the door to the Trade Federation bridge in Phantom Menace

Your analysis is over simplified and biased. The AT-TE is equipped with a mass driver canon, the same type of weapon used in space combat between capital ships and fire many type's of ordinance to take down all kinds of targets and at a far greater range than the heavy laser cannons of an AT-AT. Heavy laser cannons are common to starfighter, speeders and tanks throughout Star Wars and would actually be quite ineffective against another AT-AT based on information given and we see they do not inflict critical damage on an AT-TE, which can endure multiple hits from a heavy laser cannon, but not missiles, which the AT-AT is not equipped to deploy. What the AT has in armor and speed, the TE makes up for in range and shear firepower. They are at least more evenly matched than what is asserted in this video.

[@kauske]

For slow lumbering behemoths like the SW walkers, any realistic war would see them turned into dust by bombers and artillery anyway. Or shot in the knees constantly. I'm a mech nut, but I conceed that knees are a vulnerability to anything on legs. The only good walker is a very fast, nimble one that can take advantage of loads of cover. Anything else is sniper or artillery bait. Or worse, will have balsey infantry stick a shaped charge on its ankle as it walks by their fox-hole. Real world tanks have a big enough problems with limpet bombs, incendiaries and ATGMs, and they are low to the ground. Realistically, the TE has the advantage with sloped armour, a lower profile, 360' of turret traverse, and more legs. But apparently it's against their rules of war to shoot walkers in the knees in SW. The same way it is to use scatterguns/slugs against Jedi.

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

+kauske The AT-AT supposedly has just as much armor on the legs as anywhere else. If the vehicle has enough armor, even artillery is useless to stop it. There are numerous ways AT-TE could defeat AT-AT. The AT-AT is very poorly armed.

[@kauske]

StuK Pig Except you can't have a joint and make it fully armoured, then it stops being a joint. You'd have to cover the knees in bundles of chains or old tires like modern tanks do around the turret ring. THe turret ring is one of the thickest parts of a tank, but one burr will still immobilize the turret, and would do the same to a knee joint.

[@lawsonjenkins2906]

the first order needs to make another at at variant with light armor on the neck and huge blast cannon on the top for a better chance to hit a flying Target. Also it needs legs strong enough to snap a republic cable. its size will be 5x as big as the at at. lastly it would be in black armor with the imperial mark on the side. it can also carry 250 troops with 4 at at drivers.

Matter fact at-at was so big it could only do so much and fit on certain battle fields. While you could put the AT-TE any where and it would do some degree of work. Only thing the AT -AT has going for it is the weapons and armor thats it. Even that height advantage isn't much of an advantage when you can see it miles away and prep counter measures for it.

[@heraissilly]

David Jordan yes but most of that is in the clone wars tv show, which uses "bullshit physics" and made up abilities. before the clone wars tv show, the AT-TE did not have the magical power to haul several tons of metal up a sheer cliff face. according to all the books and official specs (such as vehicle guides) before that the AT-TE did not have the ability to operate in space, climb rocks or basically do anything like that. it was all just made up for some guys childhood wet dreams to make the AT-TE seem better than it actually was. And in regards to that star ship thing, for one, i saw the episode where they destroyed several munificent frigates with hidden AT-TE's and stopped watching the show after that. NONE of the AT-TE's weaponry could do that much damage, let alone penetrate shields. At-TE's weaponry sometimes had trouble penetrating spider walker armour. So imagine how it would fair against starship armour. And as for the height advantage not being a thing, dude, do you even realize the field of fire that offers the AT-At. not only that but you cant really prepare for an AT-AT. Mines dont work, fighters cant penetrate the armour (not to mention the supporting tie fighters) and artillery are not always accurate. face it, the entire clone wars series was just an adventure in making the clones seem better than they actually were.

Lets be honest here, everything in the Clone Wars was designed for war, while everything made by the Empire was design for terror.

mbogucki1 The AT-AT can take virtually anything ground forces can throw at it. While it does have clear weaknesses, they're small compared to it's massive advantages.

[@kaleidoscope3234]

does anyone realize that AT-AT came first since the 2nd part of Star War series were made during the 60th? In the first part (lets say the prequel) of the series born later after the year 2000, the weapons design are more realistic and combat effectiveness since the modern viewers are more logical. In the second part, weapons designs are more in favor of looks and terror because at that time they make the movies, thats how viewers want: bad guys with bigger but dumb stuffs. So its no surprise thats many weapons, ship designs and science advances in Star war look like they got direct down graded during the Empire reign. Back to the topic, TE walker has a rotational mounted heavy blaster, TE already won in design and the AT will need a lots of upgrade and many tier higher weapon to make up for it obvious weakness. This match up can easily be one of the most illogical aspects of entire franchise.

The AT-TE is better.

[@ShadowJoeSnow]

I don’t think the AT-TE from rebels should be used as a example this one was old and rundown serving as a home, it’s power levels would not have been optimal and we know that the mass driver had different firing settings on rebels it was on a weaker faster mode not it’s powerful “tank shell” mode

[@swiggityswoogity705]

I lost it at 3:30 Who even named these things cause all I heard throughout the rest of the video was As Ts ATs and TEs

[@0100001101001110]

One thing you must remember from the Rebel's AT-TE vs AT-AT fight was that the Clone's AT-TE was in a poor state. It was obviously kept together with rudimentary repairs and salvaged gear. Also, massed AT-TEs made short work of the Separatist fleet when they flanked them at Bothawui.

[@MarkStise]

Even fro a clone such as myself, I would have to agree.. Well done, nice video...

[@clontroper5]

here here!

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

Three AT-TE would win against one AT-AT. Also, the AT-AT would be totally unable to defeat another AT-AT with its guns, as they are weaker than the main cannon in the AT-TE. The AT-TE was better armed than the AT-AT, but it had vastly inferior armor. It would be the equivalent of a Sherman tank fighting against a tiger tank. If the tiger is outnumbered, it is weak. The AT-AT is poorly armed. Any armored vehicle that is unable to pierce its own armor should be considered obsolete from the moment it is put into service.

[@SahnigReingeloetet]

The AT-TE is able to operate in space and when aiming at weakspots able to take down enemy ships. It is able to go up walls vertically. It clearly is not designed to fight those behemoths! The AT-AT are more of a breakthrough vehicle, designed to take down enemy defenses, the AT-TE is way more versatile and suited for more tasks

[@grantobrien3396]

not to mention the fact that for the price of one AT-AT, you could build 5 or 6 AT-TEs, which would obviously turn the tides of the battle in favor of the AT-TE.

[@lenkagamine4145]

@@grantobrien3396 is there any actual evidence for this claim

[@Catequil]

dont forget that the AT-TE can walk up walls, so it can use that advantage on a clif-based warzone to get far above the AT-AT and get a shot off on the neck ;)

[@kakkossolttu3511]

[@kR-qj7rw]

that's called ''we can't le the good guys die so we give them plot armour'' you know how they make the clones all good heartedd, likeable and seem like bad asses? guess what they were the guys you were roting for, and how the stormtroopers are like dumb incompetent idiots in the original movies? they were canon foder, expendable extras, you shouldn't care for them so they were made useless. It's what movies do

[@forrestgumball]

That scene was singlehandedly, the most gayest thing I have ever witnessed in the Star Wars universe.

[@KyleTheDalek]

The AT-ATs can do everything the AT-TEs can do and better. If the Underbellys and necks got better armour, I donno why they don't it was maybe just for the movies so they could be took down. And they should put blades on the legs to stop it getting tripped. But personally I think the strength in the legs should be enough to rip a cable.

[@trac7516]

Nice vid. Provided good insight into the world of Star Wars

[@gergelykozar7123]

Let's not forget that the AT-TE could also scale vertical surfaces! In addition, it is better armored for the time it was created, should they use newer materials (such as with the AT-AT), the AT-TE would be a superior design, although still leaving the crew more vulnerable.

[@badfoody]

not to mention that the older AT ATs ala rogue one could be destroyed by gunship weapons

[@danielpercent5434]

badfoody but those weren't at-ats. those were at-acts.

[@badfoody]

Diablo Vanheule ohhhh makes sense, i see why the guns look different

[@dalancluff9207]

My theory is that AT-ATs are built more for frontline combat and the AT-ACTs are built more for support, and they can't afford the weight of heavy armor because of their cargo.

[@badfoody]

Dalan Cluff not a theory haha its actually how it works

[@MrMartechi]

Like with most comparisons between equipment from the clone wars vs the imperial civil war era, it seems pretty logical that the imperial designs would win, simply because most of them are based on the earlier clone wars equivalent and were specifically designed to be more powerful and have fewer weak spots.

[@raiderfox7229]

MrMartechi Finally some one with a brain!

[@tylermcneeley3136]

Sure they're more powerful and stuff, but they are mainly designed for intimidation, as that was the way the Empire ruled. If you gave the Republic vehicles, such as the AT-TE, some updates and fix its design flaws, I imagine the Clone Army could easily take on the Empire.

[@felixkrayer8555]

The AT-AT being better than the AT-TE is pretty obvious, because if it was the other way round, the empire would have used AT-TE, not the AT-AT

[@MC-CFC]

agreed

[@anderscallisenjrgensen8002]

Well, that is a dangerous logic... I agree, but how about the Empire using Tie fighters instead of the ARC 170? In my opinion, the ARC 170 beats Tie fighters.

[@sigurddaehli]

+Anders Callisen Jørgensen TIE fighters fought in groups because they wore cheep. They overwelmed the enemy!

[@zakiducky]

+Anders Callisen Jørgensen I could make the argument that the ARC- 170 was too costly to make and operate. The TIE fighter needed 1 pilot, while the ARC- 170 had a crew of three. That's means more personal that need lots of time and effort- and money- to train, leading to a scarcity of good gunners and pilots. You could get 3 TIE fighters out of the same crew amount. Plus, the ARC- 170 had more armament, and possibly more armor, leading to higher production costs. The TIE fighter was used by the Empire because they were easy and cheap to produce in large volume for the fleet, despite arguably being inferior to the X- Wings of the rebels, depending on what canon/ source you follow. Some things, like the Battlefront games make them equal for balancing reasons. So it comes down to the question of having a smaller number of very powerful, versatile but expensive fighters versus using many more cheaper but less capable fighters that still get the job done and let you field more units.

[@zakiducky]

+zakiducky I hit post by mistake and can't edit since I'm on mobile, but I wanted to add after that last sentence that that is the same question nations face today irl. Cheap but many fighters, or expensive and powerful, but few fighters. Plus, the experienced pilots are always more difficult to attain and retain than the aircraft. As an example, the Japanese started using kamikazes more as WW 2 dragged on because as their aircraft got shot down, they lost pilots faster than they could be replaced while planes were still easy to manufacture en masse. And it took time for them to be experienced enough to be effective pilots, so they pretty much trained the newer recruits enough to steer the flying death bombs into US ships and not much else. I'd imagine the Republic/ Empire faced the same conundrum at the end of the Clone Wars and decided it wasn't worth losing three guys every time a fighter got shot down versus losing one. So they made the switch to TIEs.

[@maxjones503]

There isn't really enough info on it yet. Little more than the name has been revealed.

[@marinerproductions1315]

Actually, the reason the AT-TE in Rebels lost is because it was extremely old by that point. AT-TEs are known for top-notch armor plating, and could even withstand direct hits from AAT Massdriver cannons with almost no damage. but the Exiled AT-TE had almost 2 decades to let the hull be worn down from Seelos' duststorms. And the Massdriver on the AT-TE was really just meant to destroy lightly armored vehicles like AATs and Hellfire Droids. It really couldn't penetrate heavily armored vehicles, like Super Tanks. And the power cells used on the Massdriver were also worn down. So, a brand-new, fresh-off-the-assembly-line AT-TE could actually withstand a lot of punishment from an AT-AT and dish out a lot of punishment as well. Plus, AT-TEs also have 4 heavy Anti-Personnel laser turrets at the front which could also help the Massdriver do some work. So yeah, it's probably a 50-50 chance that the AT-TE'll win. Duh.

[@mysticspace3369]

Even then that old AT-TE took a few blows to the face from the AT-AT before being unable to move.

[@agentc7020]

EpicCast yes and the AT-AT didn’t even flinch, while AT-TEs could be taken out by hellfire droids quite easily

[@GoranXII]

A few things not taking into account: 1) The AT-AT can only fire in the direction it's pointing, a fault the AT-TE doesn't have. 2) The 'Rebels' AT-TE was well worn and certainly not up to spec, thus any comparisons drawn from that fight are, at best, questionable.

[@mango-dt2pv]

The AT-AT is just so recognizable and intimidating tho xD

[@johnballard3403]

The AT-AT still seems like a severe downgrade. The fact that one's armor is better than the other is just a matter of more advanced technology and a willingness to pay more per unit. Assuming that this happens in a real world, it would make more sense to just upgrade the armor and weapons. At least then those legs wouldn't be such an obvious weak point. And yes, it is almost painful to imagine it was difficult to figure out.

[@corneliusmcmuffin3256]

Seriously, a five year old could have seen that weakspot. Just armor the bottom instead of raising the whole thing up, idiots. Seriously, why dosent anyone think of just putting armor on the top and bottom. It makes sense. You need armor on the roof to protect you from bombs and artillery, and you need it on the bottom to protect you from mines.

[@johnballard3403]

+StuK Pig Starwars battlefront, I didn't know the rear turret shot a cord, but the second I found out the only problem was maintaining the flight path around the glorified domino.

[@gooogoo2137]

well, a single shot from AT TE's main cannon to the neck/leg/belly would disable the AT AT from movie, and the only weak spot on AT TE, it's belly, is hidden from the AT AT, so i think the AT TE would win most of the times, also the AT TE in Rebels was super damaged before the battle and the AT AT was brand new

[@advancedtoycat4102]

Really awesome video I needed this just perfect

[@redbeard3574]

That scene in Rebels where Rex, Gregor, and Wolfe took on a lance of AT-ATs with a jury-rigged AT-TE is one of my favorite scenes of the series.

[@mrexists5400]

if im not mistake, the at te can climb near verticle cliffs, and the at-at looks like it wouldn't be able to do much if an enemy got behind them. and if one was armed with a grapple, all it would take would be one well placed bomb, and you don't need to be a jedi knight to stick a bomb on the neck of the at at

[@tomunsworth2401]

Okay, great video, all I will say is have you considered that the at-te that you used as a basis on which is more powerful was an extremely old and run down one that had only just been kept running? I wouldn't expect at-te's to be better then at-at's but, at-at's shouldn't be THAT much better than a perfectly new at-te, what do you think?

[@adinosaurusrex7985]

To be fair, in rebels, the mass driver cannon was mounted on an AT-TE that was pretty beat up, and it had probably been damaged while it was being used as a fishing rod for that big worm.

[@MrAldari]

So the Mass driver can't penetrate AT-AT armor but it can completely shred a Separatist Frigate? Yea I call bullshit.

[@matthewhull8282]

MrAldari I'm guessing either a Rex's AT TE's Mass Driver was old and lost some power or b the AT ATs had some additional armor similar to the droid super tanks, which could handle Mass Driver shots.

[@DarkLordTran]

5:09 in my experience there is no such thing as luck

Yeah, the AT AT is FAAAR more powerful* *weak

[@GhostCT-ih7ck]

When he said that those kinda mortar shots could have been fired only if the crew of the AT-TE was made of highly skilled members I thought about that episode in The Clone Wars serie where the gunner of an AT-TE destroyed mid -air a missile fired at the walker by the droids, what an awesome shot

[@battleshipman56]

he forgets that the ATTE can climb vertically and that it can basically out range and maneuver more easily as its smaller size

[@FutureUSMC12]

[@TheZeldaplayer99]

I kinda want to see a versus video between an Imperial Star Destroyer and a Lucrehulk Battleship from the Clone Wars. I just can't think of any better pairings right now XD

[@Pilotmario]

I disagree completely, as I view said machines as functionally tanks. They were both heavily-armored, heavily-armed war machines designed to operate on rough terrain. You see, the US Army's stat's department in WWII wanted to know how effective the Sherman tank was against the Panther. The Panther, on basic technical terms, was a superior machine, featuring superior frontal armor and a superior anti-armor weapon, although some Shermans were fitted with a 76mm high-velocity gun that gave it a fighting chance from the front. It would seem the Sherman would be completely annihilated by them. Yet, in many cases, the Sherman tank, even when equipped with the medium-velocity 75mm gun, was able to defeat the Panther easily. Scenarios included the Italian campaign and the Battle of Arracourt, where a superior German force, equipped with superior weapons, were defeated by Sherman tanks. As they found out, what really mattered was who had the first shot. And that advantage usually went to the Panther, since it was operated by the Germans, who were most often fighting defensively. When American tankers fought defensively, they extracted similar kill-loss ratios on Panthers. Any tank commander worth their salt will only engage enemy armor when they can penetrate it. Therefore, the AT-AT would most likely win in open-field engagements, where its advantage in armor and firepower is prevalent, while the AT-TE would most likely win in obstacle-laden engagements, where the superior visibility offered by the machine would offset its firepower and armor advantage, since this would allow it to position itself where it can strike the weakpoints.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

AT-AT: more powerful. AT-TE: MORE VERSATILE.

[@fayneplaysdrums]

Conventional mass driver cannons don't fire projectiles that drop over short or even medium/long distances. For it to be very effective at damaging a target, it would have to have a high velocity, therefore eliminating the possibility of drop. This would rule out the already slim possibility of firing at an arc to hit the AT-AT's neck.

[@wyattkids5145]
