The Droid Tank that Straight up CARRIED the Confederacy

[@darkninjacorporation]

One of the most conventional vehicles in all of Star Wars. A tank with a big gun in a turret, and smaller guns in the hull. No exposed gunners, no legs to trip over, no major gimmicks.

[@-CrimsoN-]

Yep yep yep!! One of the very few realistic vehicles in Star Wars. Doesn’t even have treads either, so even on Earth, the AAT would be crazy effective. A tank that is incapable of getting stuck on terrain. 360 turret, extremely durable armor.

[@bobtheseed457]

@@-CrimsoN- ok, so a very tall tank with limited gun depression, crewed by actual, independent crew (why), non-traversable secondary weapons, more launchers (that were at the ground for some reason). Slow, reliable armour only face on, making them very vulnerable to infantry. These things were not good tanks, however, they were better than other vehicles like the ATTE and other vehicles. Why would these things be good

​@@bobtheseed457 Like you pointed out, they're good relatively speaking. We've seen tanks in the real world that are comparable to the AAT, while the AT-TE and the like are a little farther out there. As for why have independent crew, as opposed to a droid brain? It was made by the trade federation, probably as a product. Not everyone wanted a droid army, but a (by SW galaxy standards) Cheap, reliable, and effective tank would be something that's quite marketable.

[@odinlindeberg4624]

@@jamesm783 Not to mention that the CIS maintained other armies as well as the droid army, making exclusively droid tanks a logistical weakness. That said, the biggest improvement I could think of for the AAT would be removing the torpedo tubes from the foot of the tank and instead giving it a missile launcher on the turret, akin to the M2 Bradley's wire guided TOW launcher addon and making the bottom more of a storage rack. That way the tank can shoot from a hull-down position (using terrain to hide most of the tank from the target you're shooting at) without giving up the use of its most powerful weapon. You could also load missiles from one tank to another, making it less necessary to be strict with how often you fire missiles since they're not locked in a case that can only be opened back in the lucrehulk you deployed from.

[@erdervv]

The M5A1 Stuart was a scout tank not designed for frontline combat. The S-35 like most other french tanks at the start of WW2 has better armor, better guns and used more advanced tech than the opposing german tanks. They still proved less effective than early model of Panzer 3s. Turns out having your commander command the tank, command the rest of the tanks if he's the squadron leader, spot targets, fire the gun, man the turret, reload the gun, and use the radio is a sure way to overwork a man to the point of making him combat ineffective. A commander can not juggle all those rolls at the same time without giving up many of them. Of those the only role a T-34 commander did not have was reloading because the T-34 had a loader in the turret, a turret that did not have a basket so it played merry hell on the crew every time they had to rotate it. The reason the T-34/76 had the commander manning the gun is simply that the red army needed everything they could throw at the germans as fast as they could make it. In fact, as soon as they could start production of a better tank without the massive, massive ammounts of glaring defects the 76 model had, the T-34/85 was put in production and it indeed had a 3 man turret with a gunner, a loader and a commander. The commnader-gunner team is simply more effective than any commander that also has to work as a gunner, all modern tank designs use that system because it leads to better awareness, survivability, faster threat detection and better gunnery. Anyone in a galaxy far far away with a thousands years long history of major galactice warfare that still decides to put all that strain on a MBT commander deserves to be ridiculed and made fun off. In fact, considering the...let's say computational capacity of the average battledroid in the CIS, that they even entrusted them with both roles is nothing short of mind boggling.

The way shells normally work is your high energy will be the biggest boom, AP has a medium boom with hardened case and bunker busters have the smallest boom with reinforced case and possibly extra propellant to get into said bunker before boom occurs. With this range it becomes a case of matching shell to target and picking the biggest boom possible that will reliably affect a target as AP wont kill many infantry and a HE wont get into a bunker to begin with.

People don’t seem to understand how perfect of a design this is for your average battle tank: light, quick, manoeuvrable, can function on most terrain, not expensive, only a 4 man crew, decently powerful primary gun, secondary guns for protection, slanted armour and perfectly compliments infantry. This is the ideal tank you want to mass produce for your army; not a heavy tank with the most powerful cannon and thickest armour as they are a huge financial commitment, sluggish, more vulnerable to breakdowns, poorly manoeuvrable, a bigger target and are a massive loss when inevitably destroyed.

I've always wandered about that. They had a droid gunship that didn't need pilots so I don't see why they can't make the tank like the gunship. If you take out the crew equation, the enemy wouldn't be able to capture it and use it against you. Other benefits are that you can make the tank more compact and there is no lag time between spotting the enemy and shooting it.

[@michaelramon2411]

@@btrando1 Part of it is the Star Wars universe's general reluctance to use their powerful A.I. to its full potential, but the best in-universe explanation is that it was intended to be usable by organic crew in addition to droids. The original contractors might have hoped they could sell it to non-droid armies, and the CIS had lots of non-droid soldiers they would want to support. (The Umbarans, for example.) Because B1 droids can serve any role a human can, the most efficient thing to do for mass-production is to make a tank that can be used by either humans or droids. (This is also why Separatist ships have hallways and life support, even when entirely crewed by droids. Also helps when organic leaders want to stop by or use the ship.

When playing the older Battlefront games my buddies and I came to this conclusion when certain vehicles were left open to grab and use immediately. The droid tank was on that very list, just under the clone gunship. The sabre tanks the clones used were fast, but the firepower was limited. You had to turn your entire tank to face your target to bring your main heavy weapons to bare. The droid tank had that 360 degree movable turret and in 2-3 shots was enough to seriously cripple and or destroy a sabre tank and other vehicles. The sabre's main beam weapons took 5 to do the same where it's missiles took 2-3 salvos. Again had to turn to face your enemy to bring to bare those weapons. The turret turning rate was on the slow side, but since you could turn your entire tank on a dime it made sense to turn the tank and the turret to bring your main gun to bare with good coordination at a faster rate.

Disney learned the wrong lessons "usen de Booma"

[@davidvasquez08]

Use that boomer

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

On polis massa in the original battlefront ll for those who don't know the aats spawned at both the republic and the confederacy main command posts.Where you battle outside the facility but if you have to abandon the tank if it got destroyed you would run out of health rapidly.Your only hope is to make it to a hanger, you may have a higher chance of survival if you play as an engineer they carry health packs.

[@KirbyBWebb]

I need to see more like this !

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

5:40 correct me if i'm wrong but it's said an AAT can be reloaded at an C9979 landing craft

Nothing like a geetsly’s while I’m cooking

[@deo_exus2041]

These were fun to use in the old battle front games

[@wafalme851]

Can you make a video about the different types of Sith in the reconstituted Sith empire

[@whicay5460]

Everyone always likes the clones but I like the CIS a lot more, some of their droid models are way cooler and crazy dangerous. Also sev'rance tann is one of my favorite dark side users of all time, she also was a great supreme commander. Shame she died so early in the war

[@tristanburgos1]

You should do a video about the AAT with the super weapon attached on it, the one shown at 2:17

[@glep8377]

They were ballin'

[@koalasandwich567]

Take a look at the lesser known republic vehicles like turbotanks and AT-APs

[@justehhoser1362]

AATs are up there among the coolest Sci-Fi tanks (In my opinion) right next to the likes of the Scorpion from Halo

[@JeremiahAnunnaki]

It also reminds me of the wraith from halo too.

[@Huy-G-Le]

If I hard to choose an equivalent of real life tanks that fulfil this tanks roles in the Clone Wars, It's would be something between a T-55/56 and a BMP-1, not 2 or 3, but 1.

[@pieflavor7106]

Been waiting for this

[@crimsoncarnotaurus]

It is a shame The Clone Wars show didn't have a better diversity of Separatist as well as Republic armoured droids and vehicles like shown in AOTC and ROTS. Would've been cool to see OG-9's, Hailfires, Persuaders, AT-AP and other units get some action.

[@albusvoltavern4500]

Here’s to the real tank that carried the confederacies ground forces; the MTT

[@hermesz_]

Playing this in co-op in battefront 2 as the republic and in the third objective, it's always funny to see players who hide below or near the broken AT-TE getting totally destroyed by this tanks siege mode weapon

[@Gw2Zoke]

Can’t get over the two gunners for cannons that look like they have very poor traversal. My biggest gripe with the vehicle is the poor mounts for the laser cannons not allowing for better firing arcs. If they could operate independently in closer to 180 degree arcs this tank would be even more of a menace.

Now this is where it's AAT!

[@gavinvick3592]

This tank was always my favorite in star wars

[@chewyandchris]

Was my favorite vehicle in star wars demolition

[@masterqui-gonjinn90]

Kinda wanna see more starwars content with this tank, but with its use in the rebellion not the clone wars

[@wolfgangervin2582]

It's bizarre that this is STILL the only proper tank in SW.

[@abraham2172]

What about that republic hover tank with two side cannons?

[@-CrimsoN-]

@@abraham2172 only if it’s the model with a closed 360 turret on the top. Otherwise it’s slightly less effective than the AAT.

[@abraham2172]

@@-CrimsoN- I agree.

[@forresttowns4995]

I always hated facing these things in Battlefront 2. You didn't have to see it. Just hearing the iconic sound of its guns firing was intimidating.

[@SenHai]

It is honestly a sexy design as well
