Other than what the previous two comments have said, there's a difference between anti-gravity and gravity propulsion technology which I suspect is the key difference here. Anti-gravity being something that nullifies the effects of gravity without necessarily pushing down (or well, probably having a relatively weak fan or thruster if they don't have some other method of propulsion) to allow them to move around whilst ignoring the influence of gravity. Hence why repulsorcraft aren't able to go orbital, because once they've left the atmosphere, they don't have the 'external propellant' source needed to move themselves around once gravity is countered. Then the gravity propulsion in the example you mention isn't so much negating or nullifying gravity but instead it's generating a gravity wave that pushes away anything below it. At which point, Newton's Laws applies to whatever is generating the gravity wave whilst whatever gets hit has to deal with the fact something very heavy likely just put all it's weight on it. So 'warning, nothing fragile below' doesn't apply because instead it's 'warning: nothing that can't withstand a proximity bomb blast goes below if you want it intact'.

A real life counterpart to the hover tank as far as tactical advantages go is the Stridsvagn 103, my personal favorite tank. It's a turretless design with a ridiculously low profile and short wheelbase which makes it hard to hit and extremely maneuverable, originally designed with the intention of fighting in dense Swedish forests in order to go places where enemy tanks just can't go. With the gun being hard bolted to the chassis to give the crew room to breathe, it used an advanced suspension system in order to aim the gun.
@commandoepsilon466410 ай бұрын
I believe the reason the gun was mounted like that was so the driver could also be the gunner, that way they can field more tanks with less people, it also has an auto loader so each Strv 103 only needs a single crew member to operate, though it was made to accommodate three and a full crew is obviously preferred.
@HATECELL10 ай бұрын
Also since repulsor-driven vehicles can sidestrafe they overcome the Strv103's biggest weakness, its inability to fire on the move. I'm not sure whether repulsors are precise enough to provide the necessary accuracy, but in the worst case they at least allow you to orient the gun in the right direction while still moving

@@commandoepsilon4664 maybe, but the fact that the gun breach doesn't require interior space for elevation angles, removing the necessity for elevating a turret roof and decreasing space usage generally, thus decreasing the area that needs to be armored made it lighter, dofficult to hit and also easier to conceal. that the autoloader didn't have to accomodate for changing gun positions, thus allowing a simpler, smaller autoloader to achieve higher rates of fire is the other design aspect that I think is more relevant than the lesser crew requirements. having a hunter-killer system already made the tank so close to being one man operable that it made sense to make it that way for redundancy, allowing the tank to operate in high capability even if one targeting system was damaged or a crew member incapacitated

Earning sponsorship or investment from external power is always an option if not the biggest card on the table deck. Depending on circumstances, smaller powers can benefit from the rivalry of bigger factions. The larger polities may like a buffer zone so as to keep their respective economies strained and may even let slip 'a few donations' to help keep the smaller ststes intact. There are also the industries around shipbuilding to consider. Salvage and shipbreaking can provide immense insight into how more advanced designs work. Mind you, it's not the ship size but how their used that matters. Aircraft are seen as huge threat depsite the size difference with battleships, and submarines are lethal so long as their not spotted. A smaller factions with smaller economies stand to profit from having smaller, wolf pack oriented fleets than a grand armada.

The Imperial S1 Firehawke was quite a good tank, and served the imperial army well, as seen with the infamous Hell's Hammers Elite. It is quite underrated imo. Hovering 2m above the ground, it was well protected and fast. Faster than a saber (400km/hr). All while mounting a long range heavy laser / mass driver. (5km range). For comparison, the ATTE's mass driver only has a range of 2 km... It had a medium blaster cannon for infantry with a decent range and firing arc. the main gun was mobile and accurate enough to target low flying starfighters / airspeeders with relative ease, as seen on Turak IV. Eventually, it got replaced by the imperial 1H tanks, which retained practically the same capabilities...

Repulsorlifts are one of 3 key features that would bring our technology to par with Star Wars. Think about it - with low power repulsor lifts (which are also able to let spaceship hover over cities in the athmosphere) anything from speeders to mining platforms hovering over holes in the ground to spaceship that can reach orbit is possible. After that one only needs fusion power to fuel the ion drives of spaceships to reach other planets and moons and then of course hyperdrive to reach other star systems - the latter did not exist in the Star Wars Galaxy for quite a long time in recorded history though)

the most important factor is that it is no longer as restricted to roads for strategic movement. battles and logistics are restricted by road networks due to soft and/or non-flat terrain slows down all ground vehicles. repulsor vehicles ignore this limitation which gives them a degree of flexibility that basically changes the dynamic of warfare. there is no position that can not be by-passed. there is no definitive route that can be shelled or mined or cut-off to deny enemy logistics. this also true of civilian vehicles, as repulsor lift is shown to be cheap and common amongst civilains. Meaning proper roads are going to be relatively rare outside of settlements as they are expensive investements that are not really used outside of pedestrian travel. this makes tracked, wheeled and legs an even bigger disadvantage strategically than if these techologies were compared on current day earth.

Here's my Armor division strategy based on the new US organization: 2 Armored brigades made of 3 combined arms battalions (CAB) of ATTEs and ATRTs (Like US CABs with M1 Abrams and Bradley IFVs) and 1 Armored cavalry troop in Marauder ITTs escorted by TX-130 repulsor tanks. AND 1 ITT brigade made of 3 ITT battalions which use ITTs as strykers and Marauder ITT like the US stryker mobile guns systems as fire support. This gives us a combination of walkers and repulsors. We then of course have division artillery, support, engineers, military police, and aviation brigades. I would use a mix of republic and imperial artillery vehicles, UTATs to transport engineers, Speeders and ATRTs for military police, and Tie-Stryker airspeeders for my aviation. Of course we would also be able to call starfighter or naval support for close-air-support or naval-gunfire support but having dedicated in-atmosphere air support attached to our ground forces would be beneficial. Heavier divisions could replace the ITTs with an additional armored brigade or a division armored cavalry. I have ideas for lighter infantry division as well from dismounted jet trooper/airborne, mounted light infantry in Arrow-23 speeders, and ITT divisions. All supported by ATRTs for anti infantry and TX-130s for anti vehicle support, as well as Arrow-23 speeder and ATRT scouts.

I thought everything in the Star Wars galaxy that flies has reupholster lifts seeing how the majority of the things that fly are not arrow dynamic. Tie fighters, even stars destroyers and the separatist landing crafts. The speeder bikes you see in the clone wars in battles you also see flying on coruscant flying instead of just hovering. I could be entirely wrong though.

Do a video showing Jedi that had issues with the Clone Wars and did something about it whether that be quitting the order or betraying the Republic.
