Star Destroyer VS Lucrehulk - Star Wars Empire At War Remake

@@rusmorpeh3314 I just can't help but think, out of a galaxy that big.... let's say 50% of a huge galaxy leans Republic and 50% leans CIS.... all those millions of systems... you can't tell me there wasn't ONE or TWO... who had CIS governors that thought "We should have a few trusted droids immune from shut down commands whether Dooku likes it or not." You can't tell me there are not STILL CIS units hiding out there even at the time of the Empire. Backwater unknown systems just "watching" with tactical droids that calculated engaging with the Empire or showing their continued presence was simply not viable. And yes I am aware of the Rebels episode where they did encounter a cell led by such a droid. I am mor thinking entire systems hidden not just a small group. (as far as REAL Star Wars as opposed to Disney's crap... former CIS units would have been SUPER useful against the Vong, who pathelogically hated droids)...

[@foxydefnaf3206]

i kinda understand why sidious dismantled CIS fleet after order 66

[@shockwave84]

Because droids were mass produced along with their fleets and could have annihilated the republic if it wasn't thanks to the Jedi Order and plot armor?

[@foxydefnaf3206]

@ because when we see that a luckrehulk cruiser can anihilate a star destroyer

Lukrahulk is my favorite ship from star wars.

[@Kirill_Beloshekov]

Да/Yes.

[@idontspeakjapanese6289]

My favorite ship design, not to mention it's one of the most massive ships in Star Wars

[@Gaster_021]

Not surprising really given the (in lore) millennia’s long trials and battle tested the Lucrehulk design went through, it was designed with maximum firepower and defense

[@john091077]

Millenia is already plural. No further addition needed.

[@basicmeme1040]

Defense not firepower

[@Zarken26]

Ah, I do love the Lukrehulk such a great carrier/command ship. The only thing I would change is some serious anti-capital ship heavy weapons to it. That being said, if I had to choose a faction's navy and ground forces to use it would be the CIS. However, I would also incorporate highly trained organic soldiers and field officers to command troops and droids in combat instead of relying on the unreliable droids ability to react quickly enough or to notice blatant ambushes. I think elite organic soldiers fighting alongside the massive legions of battle droids on the ground and in space would drastically improve their performance.

[@achimkunisch8619]

The CIS had organic troops thy were just not schown often.

[@Zarken26]

@@achimkunisch8619 Yes, I did hear that. I saw some stuff about Nemoidian troops fighting with droids on certain occasions? Would have been cool to have that more widespread as the biggest weakness of the CIS was their over reliance on droids for 80% of their military. Especially in command and front line officer positions that was not smart. However, a military using swarm tactics alongside elite shock troops and frontline officers would make them far more effective. I get images in my head of jump pack assisted power armoured elite troops and officers leading hordes of battle droids. I do think the B1 should have ether been removed from frontline combat and moved to logistical roles, with greater investment in improving the B2s & their variants for combat. The other heavier droids like the scorpion droid, snail tank, hellfire & the gunships were fine for their roles. That being said I do still really like the AAT.

[@achimkunisch8619]

@@Zarken26 It think that for horde tactics the B1 is the way to go they are supposed to be expanabel after all.

[@MasterChief_501st]

Although, at the end of the Clone wars, the commander droids got pretty good/excellent in predicting Clone and Jedi behavior and also countering them. Given more time, I think they would have succeeded the organic soldier's ability to think creatively 😎

[@Zarken26]

@@MasterChief_501st Yes Kelani is a very good example of this. However, even if they can doesn't mean they should. Especially considering these command droids have zero hesitation killing organics on both their side and the enemies if it means completing their current objective. Warfare in general should never be fully automated, its an extinction level event waiting to happen.

[@Khan-hb2bb]

I love the Star Wars Battlefront 2005 sound bites!

[@mrlordvenom6664]

Its nice to see a one on one for the empire and CIS, been a while since I last watched your vide

[@mrlordvenom6664]

Still wish that this game and all that was somehow available on console though, I would make some killer battles and show em to my pals after I watch it jn cinema cam

[@eduardweber2097]

The CIS has the best droid designs in all of Star Wars and the Lukrehulk with its fast and cheap star fighters might be the best stand alone carrier the galaxy saw so far! It also has a decent amount of heavy cannons, powerful shields and it isn't as expensive as an Empirial Star Destroyer.

[@lightlegend215]

I haven't seen one of these in awhile, a good fire fight though I know during the Imperial era there probably wasn't many times when Star destroyers would engage in battle against other cruisers within a planets atmosphere

[@The_Only_Noble]

watching this video really made me wanna see what would happen if some reactivated droids really went against the empire. like lucrehulks jumping in with a bunch of providence's and then massive swarms or vulture droids fighting tie's, tri-fighters sending buzz droids to tear star destroyers to shreds because of their huge lack of point defense weapons. honestly. i think the droids would wipe the empire without people like thrawn or vader.

[@SkepCakes]

Hydrogen bomb vs Coughing baby:

Without the interference of Sidious, the CIS would have won the war against Republic.

[@dangerbeans9639]

Dude that skybox is amazing. Also the Lucrehulk carried 5,000 droid starfighters. The Imperial Star Destroyer carried 72. That alone would be enough to overwhelm entire fleets.

[@Willientus]

AI controls the Lucrehulk. Thank you for watching!

[@astudent4838]

I thought star destroyer has more powerful anti-ship firepower. In ship to ship battle it should be advantageous.

[@Bru_Dog1]

I dont understand. I mean I do kind of cus its how SWEAW set up the ship stats but... the ISD was the most feared. Now was all active Lucrahulks broken down after the clone war. Was there some active during the ISD era? Thus, is this a fair simulation? Remember, where were the Lucrehulks during the rebel wars? Broken or destroyed? haha just a thought.

[@acid0philus]

One problem, and it's a massive bonus in the Star Destroyer's favor: Ion Cannons, of which, the Lucrehulks have 0 to the Star Destroyer's 60 single NK-7s and 2 Dual Heavy Turrets. This alone would wipe out any capital ship's shields in a brawl, and gain the ISD the advantage. And that is just the Imperial I Class. The Imperial II has 60 Heavy Ion Cannons. While the ISD, in either scenario would take a beating, The Lucrehulk wouldn't ... No. COULDN'T win without direct sabotage. 1 out of 5 stars ... Do not recommend.

[@2955244]

How do you do 1v1 ship battles in remake mod?

[@adamseffect8604]

CIS space domination

[@martinlawrence9843]

Honestly, this doesnt surprise me, especially if its a Mark I ISD. It definitely matches the Lucrehulk for firepower but the fighter compliment of the Lucrehulk and its stronger shields give it a massive boost. Now, a Mark II ISD..different story. It still has the same fighter/bomber vulnerability, but the firepower, especially from the octuple barbette turbolasers..they would shred a Lucrehulk's shields in seconds.

[@darmowy1239]

next time lucrehulk battleship version vs star destroyer?

[@meatmeatmeatmeatmeatmeat]

[@JuanJoseMárquez-b5j]

What version of eaw remake, also you used other mods?

[@sulljoh1]

Is the Star Destroyer shooting itself??

[@CodenameRider]

That’s something a lot of people seem to not realize and honestly I didn’t realize this until a few months ago but the Empires Star destroyers aren’t really that good in ship to ship combat. It’s good against small fighters and bombing city’s but not ship to ship combat. Thats why the rebels did so good with ship to ship combat. Now if the empire kept the republic Aventador class then the empire would have been more deadly. According to canon and legends Good video tho! Loved watching it

[@numina0079]

It's not the ISD is bad. Though it has its flaws. The ISD's (and for that matter, a lot of Imperial capital ships are like this) are just especially vulnerable to fast moving star fighters. And the CIS has these in spade. In Empire of War the best way to protect ISD's is to use TIE's to screen for enemy starfighters.

[@ID-9999]

The beginning gives me battlefront 2 vibes

[@therobotwalrus2918]

bad positioning on the ISD. Only a few of its cannons where firing. Same with its fighters they seemed t be there instead of attacking.

[@alduintheanti-dragonborn]

Given that Remake makes a bigger emphasis on having ISDs do broadsides, it was extremely poor positioning.

[@sethcourtemanche5738]

An isd could level a lucrehulk in terms of firepower

[@90skidcultist]

Depends on which Doom Donut, and which ISD variant, you’re talking about. ISD-2 could probably beat most of them, minus the ones that are super modified. A modified ISD-2, like pretty much any of the names Imperial Warlords from Legends ISD2’s, wouldn’t make that much of a difference. Also, the Lucrehulk battleship is more comparable to the Allegiance, or even Bellator if you highball it. And even the base version is not really a cargo ship. Russan reformation loopholes allowed the corporations to disguise obvious warships as “civilian ships”. Mon Cal didn’t too. They’re just under gunned or given weak shields for its size. Full blown CIS Lucrehulks are proper warships. The CIS as a whole had a better navy than the Republic and had a better composition than the Empire as well. Since the CIS relied on smaller expendable ships and massive amounts of droid Starfighters.

[@rusmorpeh3314]

Lucrehulk was once a cargo vessel while ISD was designed as a combat ship initially. And let's see a result... just like a real life where an Abrams tank that costs ~ $5M can be destroyed easily with a homemade FPV drone that costs ~ $5K.

[@rusmorpeh3314]

Well, the ISD class sucked even in original EAW game. They were only good against much smaller ships. Still can't understand how this game "matches" the movies where "a powerful over-armed Empire persecutes poorly armed Rebels who don’t even have enough small arms, not to mention warships" lol.
