EckhartsLadder I think the Rebel Alliance had the best navy. Let's look at their fighters: The X-Wing was fast, thin and good-looking, had four canons and turned easyly. The Y-Wing was already used by the Republic. That shouts out, that the Rebels learned from the Republic's mistakes and modified it. They were also fast and had two rapid fire cannons. "Rebels" shows us the B-Wing so powerful, we don't even have to talk about it. Finally the A-Wing: It was literally the fastest starfighter in the universe and we saw that it's a good suicide ship. It had decent firepower and yeah... Get rekt other navys!! And I also wanna say, that the Hammerhead Corvette was the yolo-est ship ever. It pushed a Star Destroyer into a Star Destroyer!!

I have no doubt that the CIS would have won the clone wars had Palpatine been eliminated or if order 66 had failed.

I agree. despite the fact a basic B1 (the mascot of the army) was pretty dim I think a majority of the droids they made were very effective war machines especially in space
@redeye45166 жыл бұрын
+Jurassic Reptile I have to disagree with your assessment of the B1. While they were quite dim, they were not ineffective war machines when used properly. The truth of the matter is simply that B1s were never meant to be superior to organic soldiers in a one on one fight. Their main advantage was numbers. Like the vulture droid, the B1 is designed to overwhelm the enemy with massive forces. And the B1 served this role well. They were cheap and easy to manufacture, meaning many could be made at a smaller price. The same goes for their blasters, which didn't need very good cooling systems since they were never intended to be used for organics. So long as the heat didn't melt metal, the sub-par cooling system was perfect, as it was the cheaper option. It's said that for every Clone of the Republic, there were at least 10 B1s, if not more. The tactics are clear: the CIS was using the same strategy as Starcraft players who use the Zerg Rush: make many weaker units as fast and as cheaply as possible to swarm the enemy. The same tactic was used for the Red Army in the real world during World War 2. With that said, I agree that they definitely would have won the Clone Wars if Palpatine wasn't involved. If you remember Revenge of the Sith, they were daring enough to assault Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. Also, the only reason they lost was because Palpatine gathered all of their leadership on Mustafar and sent Vader to slay them all. The army was never bested in combat, they were shut down remotely after the CIS High Command was taken out of commission. If the war continued without Palpatine's meddling, they would have curb stomped the Republic.

Not to mention that their numbers could overwhelm even well trained clone armies. Independent planets wouldn't have stood a chance against them. And being cheaper than organics the popular resistance hit and run guerrilla tactics on garrisons in an occupied planet wouldn't be effective because they could just raise taxes to cover the cost of manufacture. And we know that the sinews of war are infinite money. No more true is that when you realize that the banking clan, the literal banks themselves were on the side of the CIS. And funding both. (Not too unlike real life lol) the CIS just had too many advantages over the republic. Even if their victory resulted in a split down the middle of the galaxy, the republic would likely never have recovered.

Essentially they became the most well balanced fleet in the galaxy, but it took them a long time to get there.

Yeah, that was the Empire's weakness. They structured their forces to fight other major empires which could afford big capital ship fleets (and to instill fear in local populations, but this proved to backfire on them spectacularly!). This was not a wise decision given the Empire was the galactic superpower of the time. It reminds me of some of the mistakes the US has made in terms of our military focus in the past couple decades since the conclusion of the Cold War. You need just enough big hitters to deal with other galactic threats, but if you under-invest in forces specialized in dealing with smaller, guerilla threats then you're ultimately going to suffer for it!

If there were a direct comparison, the rebel alliance operated fleets similar to American carrier strike groups with fighters being the main strike element fir combat, where as the empire is more analogous to German surface fleet doctrine or combined with Japanese fighter doctrine all focused on the decisive battle doctrine. But as many Star Wars capital ships are hybrids of battleships and carriers combined 1 to 1 comparisons are difficult to make.

I personally would put the Republic ahead of the Rebels- while not shown/mentioned here (and one of these ships may now potentially be Legends-only), the Republic had Arquitens-class light cruisers and Victory I-class SDs (albeit, in somewhat limited numbers) as well, giving them a more powerful escort and a proper frontline combatant respectively. These two ships each fill a particularly gaping niche, though they alone wouldn't be enough to elevate the Republic ahead of the CIS (after all, the Arquitens probably isn't anything like as powerful as a Munificent, and the Victory I's a lot slower than it's peers.) Can't say I disagree with the idea of a Venator without that oversized central hangar, though. They could have cut it in half to keep a respectable strike load, and still made room for more/bigger guns (I mean seriously, only two barrels on the turbolaser mounts? There's enough quad-barrel turbolasers out there!)
@philippobitz25926 жыл бұрын
ReaperKallina An important thing to note is that the Republic's Arquintens' had hangars as opposed to the imperial version which is much more of a patrol vehicle (I think you can see some of them in TCW season 5).

The empire doesn’t use a good doctrine, with its massive ISDs without point-defense and swarms of crappy fighters. The republic had a pretty good doctrine with its capital ship, the venator, was a all round ship. It was able to tear through CIS ships. It wasn’t meant for that, but it got the job done. Plus, all the fighters that it carries makes it more powerful. However i do think the republic should have dedicated capital and carrier ships. For example, as mentioned in the video, the venetors hangar bay could have been replaced with more turbolasers. Although the republic is my favorite faction of the four, I do think that CIS did have a well-rounded fleet and probably could have bested the rest of the factions, if there tech level was the same. The providence class was extremely powerful, which could be protected with somewhat powerful munificent class frigates. I say the seps win this, but I feel that the alliance doesn’t belong above the republic. The republic had high quality star fighters and its ships, through usually venators, do provide a lot of firepower along with its fighters. The venators were very durable as well, only being taken out by more numerous CIS ships.

If Zsinj knew anything about Thrawn, it would probably just boil down to "the Emperor's pet" or something, with the Empire being all human-centric (and sexist if we go by some legends material), it wouldn't surprise me if some people disliked the idea of some blue-skinned guy being a Grand Admiral. The battle itself would probably be a quality vs. quantity (read: strategy vs. economy) sort of deal and certainly very interesting, but we already got videos along the lines of "One Executor versus...", so I'd rather like to hear what EkhartsLadder thinks of the two commanders of this match-up.

Star Destroyers can tear apart the large capital ships of the Confederacy while their shields/armor and TIEs can hold off the droid fighters long enough for the control ships to be destroyed. This doctrine is obviously countered by the Rebel fleet, which was obviously designed to counter the Empire. More interesting though, is that I think the Rebels would have difficulty fighting a Confederacy-like fleet that uses a variety of heavily armed capital ships and swarms of fighters. The combination of huge numbers of fighters and defensive laser fire from the Confederate ships might overwhelm the Rebellion fighters, leaving their light capital ships vulnerable to the heavily armed and Confederate frigates and cruisers. The Rebels would certainly inflict casualties, but they would probably take just as many in return.

I think a fleet of the C.I.S would be a horror for the Empire only 1 Lucrehulk Battle Carrier and 3 Star Destroyer can say goodbye. The Empire had compared to the C.I.S no Star Fighters (yes they had but only like 10-20) and the Star Destroyers also didnt had point defense laser what they want to do against more than 200 Star Fighters who shoot at them. The Problem for the C.I.S is that the Munificent Star Frigates, Recusant class Frigate and Providence class carrier doesnt stand a chance against a Star Destroyer but a Providence class Dreadnought would completely destroy a Star Destroyer and the C.I.S economy is only for War means that they just can produce Ships much much faster.
@patrickrear6 жыл бұрын
Good analysis. I disagree with your conclusion though, and instead I'd rank it as follows: 1. CIS-it has a good mix of ships to fill every role, as well as being specifically-designed to maximize the advantages of using droids as starfighter pilots/soldiers/crew in an attempt to mitigate the inherent disadvantages to that strategy.The simple decision to rely on droids to mitigate the costs of swarm tactics would be enough to push it past the Empire. 2. Galactic Empire-While you look to the biggest and flashiest examples of the Imperial Navy as evidence of poor design, you fail to take into account the wide variety of other ships filling a variety of roles such as the purpose-built Lancer-class, the well-rounded Carrack-class, the versatile Strike-class, the aging Victory-class Star Destroyers, or their game-changing interdictor cruisers which totally negate the advantages of the Rebel Alliance. In Episodes V and VI we are treated to large fleets and massive space battles, but in reality rather than the Imperial-class being the only ship that was used, it was the building block around which fleets were assembled, since a single Imperial-class was intended to have enough firepower, troops, and starfighters to overwhelm the defenses of any planet or enemy vessel it should encounter. Once paired with support ships such as those mentioned above or others, its weaknesses caused by being a jack-of-all trades could be easily mitigated. (Paired with a Lancer, an interdictor, and a handful of support craft like Carracks or Strikes, a single Star Destroyer could prevent the vital second half of Rebel hit-and-run tactics, and use its superior firepower to overwhelm a raiding party while also being adequately defended against starfighters.) The problem was rather one of leadership, where commanders failed to make use of all the resources available to them. (Such as Tarkin refusing to deploy fighters at the Battle of Yavin.) 3. Rebel Alliance-It's worth mentioning here that (aside from the Mon Calamari ships), the vast majority of the Rebel fleet was either ships that were woefully outdated, were adapted from civilian use (which even includes the Mon Calamari ships), or were captured from the Empire. Basically every class of ship that they had was either still in use by the Imperial Navy, had been retired from the Imperial Navy in favor of a newer alternative, or was not actually a military-grade vessel. (The Mon Calamari ships stand out as the exception, but most repurposed civilian vessels were trash with little to no value against their opponents.) Since the extremely-capable Mon Calamari ships were much rarer, that resulted in the average Rebel fleet composition being largely composed of corvettes, frigates, and maybe a light cruiser, which would be completely outclassed if confronted with the average Imperial fleet. 4. Old Republic-A lot of the Empire's naval doctrine was inherited from the Republic along with the Republic fleet, and the changes that were made to turn the Republic Navy into the Imperial Navy were done in order to address the former's weaknesses, namely the lack of adequate frontline capital ships. Much of the reason the Republic fleet ranks at the bottom of the list is because the Venator-class was simply a poor choice for a frontline ship. They had begun to rectify that with the introduction of the Victory-class by the end of the Clone Wars, but that transformation wasn't completed until well after the Republic had become the Empire.

Given that their starfighter capability are by far the worst and there capital ships are weak to starfighters and extremely costly I don't think they would have any chance against any of the other proper navies. The Empires capabilities are powerful but unadaptable and that inability to adapt will be their undoing against all the other 3 navies in this test.

I find it very sensible and interesting that in the Clone Wars the Republic's fleet was (rather stuck most of the way) with a particular type of warship that focused more on hanger capacity but weren't very dominant capital ships, and transitioning into the Empire they inverted. The Empire continued the doctrine of having a singular ship type as they had the production capacity necessary (and needed it to subjugate hundreds of planets), but beefed up their ships for capital ship engagements while bringing down point defense and hangar capacity. From a lore perspective, this is extremely realistic and happens a lot historically.

It's true that numerical strength is extremely important, but you have to take into account how the imperial military was supposed to work: Mostly on intimidation. Their entire doctrine is built on the idea to prevent uprisings through intimidation, to demonstrate power. As soon as imperial star destroyers get taken out by rebel starfighters, their intimidation factor is essentially gone. And if they loose their power as a symbol, the entire doctrine collapses into itself.

The weirdest thing to me about the Imperial navy is how the death star project and other operations were about firepower and mobility but somehow mobilizing a strike force to hunt the rebels never organically came about. Moff Tarkin and other hand picked leaders, like director Krenek, emphasized the fear on swift wings sort of mantality for subjugating the galaxy but somehow it took several years of sucfessful rebel operations but also the loss of the death star, AND LORD VADER'S DEMANDS upon the navy, to put together Death Squadron.

I think the fact that the 501st Journal mentions how attrition was so bad they were pushing ground units into pilot roles shows just how effective the CIS swarm tactics works. The organics' edge of creativity matters much less when each pilot takes years to grow up and then train when the CIS can just roll out new battle ready fighters within days if not quicker. People underemphasize that importance sometime. The loss of individual droid fighters just matters so much less.

I think when you look at it the CIS was ahead due to versatility and numbers the Republic came in second because it was the only practical war machine besides the CIS. The Rebels may have had the ships but they don't have enough personal to man them along with the fact that they have to know how to use the ships along with the fact that if you got into a large scale engagement the Rebels would lose because they simply don't have the numbers and man power to put up a good enough fight. While the Rebels had good fighters they simply just had shitty cap ships because they were either stripped or refitted with new tech which could interfere with the ship's combat effectiveness. The Empire I think should stay in last because even though in EU they had a shit load of different ships you still don't see them in your average Imp battle group or fleet its usually just a couple of ISD 2s and thats it, while they do pack a punch they simply just can't repel fighters at all which if in a large fleet engagement it would most likely lose do to the fact that the other 3 factions rely on fighters to win their battles for them which when launched the Empire just can't shrug them off and will then start to lose ships this is easily shown when an a-wing crashed straight into Vader's flagship in "Return of the Jedi" with it not having any point defense it just couldn't shoot it down, I think that these star destroyers where just designed with fear in mind and cap on cap in mind not even thinking about fighters until the rebels showed up with a bunch of high quality fighters and started messing shit up. Anyways here is what I think the list should have been CIS, Republic, Rebel Alliance, Empire. Also one last thing I want to add is that way to many people are putting way too much faith in the CIS saying that it would have won the clone wars, and while yes it is a possibility you gotta keep in mind that even though they have good ships its who's commanding the ship is what gives it its true power, while many people are gonna bring up Grevious and the spider dude (I forgot his name its like 30am rn don't judge me XD) those are just two guys which in any given scenario could die because the Republic also has good leadership also with it being numerous. While they have mainly droids which do reduce the amount of organic loss it can prove to be quite comber sum with each officer droid having programmed tactics shoved into his head and won't be able to thin outside it's programming which in the field will degrade it's ships capabilities and effectiveness as well. I think if the war were to stretch out the Republic would come out victorious due to better leadership capabilities and better training.

The only example we have of a major fleet action undertaken by the Rebels is the failed "Trap" at Endor, where the Imperial Navy was supposedly only present to prevent surviving Rebel ships from escaping. By the time Death Star Two had been destroyed, the Rebels had already broken through the Imperial fleet's formation and taken down their flagship. The attitude of the Imperials in episodes four and six was that it didn't matter how dangerous the Rebels were to the Imperial fleet. The Imperials were putting all of their faith in their battlestations. It's difficult to rank the capability and performance of the Imperial fleet if we never had the chance to see it fully tested in battle.

Some weapons... refitted Lucrehulks had so many weapons that it could take pn multiple Venators on at the same time, without the shields taking mayor strain.

I always looked at star destroyers as an aircraft carriers combined with an Amphibious assault ship rolled into one. To me it always makes since the empire needed a carrier assault ship you need the fighters to control the space around the planet and use them for air support for the army. A large number of troops on board allow you to have occupy especially if the planet has large number of troops already on it.

You should do a part two where you take typical/evenly matched fleets from each of these factions and match them up against each other in a hypothetical battle.

There are some good arguments to be made why the empire would be dominated by SSDs in its early years. But over the course of the Galactic Civil War, there's no excuse why the empire did not adapt. 1. After the first few battles against the Rebels, it was abundantly clear how flawed the empire's fleet was and how their fleet composition should have been fixed. 2. Once the first Death Star fired at Alderaan, it was also clear that the Tarkin Doctrine had fundamentally failed. Sheer intimidation did not cement the power of the empire, it eroded it and strengthened only the Rebellion.

One thing to consider with Droid fighters: G-Forces With organic pilots you have to account for the effects of G-Forces on their bodies, especially with their very fluid-based biologies, and all the other aviation-related issues you need to worry about with them. With droids, no such limitation. Turn on a dime at near-lightspeed, send them flying in pitch dark conditions, make them as fast and aggressive as you could ever possibly want, make them into giant super-speed suicide bombs. Even in real life it's generally accepted that robot pilots are the future of air superiority (at least in the US, where it's at least *planned* that the F-35 is intended to be the last manned American fighter plane to be developed IIRC) because of these advantages. Even if some magical G-Force or human needs machines can be made for fighter craft in Star Wars, it would still cut out the middle man to simply deploy things that don't need any of those systems in the first place.
