[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Man. As cool and iconic as the AT-AT is, I legitimately think the Empire would have been better served making more upgraded versions of this thing

[@pitied3744]

They would if they wernt going for more intimidation and policing. Plus walkers can go over most obstacles versus wheeled or tracked vehicles. But the advantage of Juggs over a ATAT is speed and modularity

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

@@pitied3744 Fun fact though, modern day researchers have found that wheeled vehicles tend to be better at all terrain than “walking” vehicles. In particular rough and irregular terrain, wheels and tracks have always performed better than “legs” because legged vehicles and robots tend to slip and lose their footing while wheeled vehicles always provide a significantly more stable base. So in truth the Juggernaut would actually unironically serve as a better all terrain armored transport than the actual AT-AT.

[@Memelord1117]

Blame that on Tarkin and his doctrine.

[@DEFC0NZER0]

​@@hfar_in_the_sky The US Army even tried to test walking tanks by taking inspiration from moose. One example of terrain they'd use is a river, and assumed the moose would walk through the river. To their disappointment, they found out that the moose would rather walk around the river and find a better way.

0:32 How come we don't see more CRAM/CIWS style weapons in Star Wars? That single turret took out most of the missiles, which is really impressive considering how many of them there were and how little time it had to react.

[@rafaelnishizumi6330]

Probably because of shielding being common thing so they'll tank it with the shield. And beside a few rare cases, (Cat and Mouse, Destruction of the Malevolence come to mind) we don't see munitions be used. Also note that Cat and Mouse, they just tank the missile with the thermal shielding.

[@purplfedora800]

@@rafaelnishizumi6330 What about proton torpedoes? We see a bunch of proton torpedoes fired from Y-wings disable an ISD during the Battle of Scarif, wouldn't a CIWS-style weapon designed for use on capital ships take down some or all of them (potentially saving the ship)?

[@rafaelnishizumi6330]

@@purplfedora800 Those were Ion Torpedos ment for disabling, not Proton Torpedo. Plus with what the Remnants of Blue Squadron did prior to the Tie Counterattack and y-wing run, they must had severely damaged the Shielding. However, it wasn't just 1 or 2 Ion Torpedos, it was quite abit that was required to bust the shield then disabling the ISD. Though yeah point a CWIS would had gotten those bombers but Canon ISD Armaments have no Laser Cannons listed, which are ideal against fighters.

[@rickyk4583]

The AT-TE facing its technical successor was more poetic though. I thought the same thing back when I first saw those Rebels episodes but I think seeing a Jugg face an AT-AT would've taken away the emotional impact of it because they're not necessarily comparable vehicles on the battlefield and they would've won. Also, this is the first piece of SW media (even ROTS) that does a Jugg justice.

In Empire at War Forces of Corruption, another variant of juggernaut possessed point-laser defense to counter missiles. And I wonder why the TK's juggernaut could not use CIWS as well? I guess they are beginners and did not know how to use it while clones who are veteran were very familiar with it.

Wonder what would have happend if the rebel alliance had juggernauts? I can se this this thing going toe to toe with an AT AT

[@SocalCoyote]

Maintenance. As powerful as the juggernaut is, it would be a one-use weapon. Requires a lot of hands to operate, and a hell of a lot more to repair and maintain. Resources the Rebel could not expense.

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

1) its got tinny weapons, as shown in hoth the AT-AT is basically invulernable even in the leg joints to weapons of that size. 2) as shown here the juggernaut is extremely vulnerable in the wheels (unlike the AT-AT with its legs, once again shown in hoth) 3) its big, meaning it needs a really be transport, and a massive supply chain. which rebels don't have in spades.

[@wyvernbravo]

And I'm still confused as to why the empire sropped using these Hoth would have been a breeze with these things instead of ATAT walkers

[@rickyk4583]

The writing answer is that they weren't conceived in the 80s and walkers were a lot easier to do stop-motion animation on back then (I think that's how they did it in ESB). The in-universe answer is probably that they were too expensive to mass-produce compared to walkers for large military campaigns due to the Tarkin doctrine. So they were used primarily for prisoner transport like in Rogue One. Usually, they would be hard to penetrate, the only reason the BB succeeded was because they were ex-special forces who also happened to study every vehicle in the Imperial lineup (Tech).

[@matthiuskoenig3378]

@@rickyk4583 actually the orginal plan was to use wheeled or tracked tanks. they choose walkers because of aethetics not because it was easier.
