As a world of tanks player all I can say is. DO NOT PLAY WORLD OF TANKS. Lol it is a pointless grind and will drain your wallet. Lol

Star Wars armored vehicle manufacturers try to design an enclosed turret challenge: IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Dammit I love this comment

[@justindunlap1235]

Yet enclosed turrets on starships are the norm. That little thing has always bothered me.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

The AAT has an enclosed turret, so why wouldn’t any vehicle meant to counter it have one?

[@jondobson]

To be fair the at-te,at-ot and some other republic vehicles were probably used even before the Clone Wars broke out so when the war began, the republic didn’t have time to upgrade them so they used whatever they had available and palpatine probably did’t want to be to powerful.

[@danielbaur5765]

What about the AT-AT, AT-ST, and compact assault vehicle? (Funny comment btw)

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

I remember playing with this tank in the 2002 Clone Wars game, & the original Battlefront I & Battlefront II games. I’m glad this was brought back into canon for EA’s Battlefront II. Techincally this first appeared in the Boba Fett novel Crossfire before the Clone Wars game.

[@fargeeks]

Yes the game in Xbox Star wars the clone wars

Also these units make me wonder why the empire went freakin low end with atst walker's and at ats

This and ATTE are my favorite vehicles from the CW era.

[@inductivegrunt94]

The Saber tank. I remember this legend carrying me in both Battlefront games from the early 2000s and the successor in the 2M Repulsor Tank from EAW. Absolutely legendary! Can't help but love this amazing fighter tank.

[@welkingunther5417]

Same. It carried me plenty whenever I had to do last stands in Battlefront 2, either by stealing one from the enemy or getting lucky by grabbing one before the command post it spawned at gets captured. Safe to say I have many, MANY memories of using it. Makes sense, as I'm very convinced it was the best tank in the game, by far.

[@cal593]

Have you played the empire at war clone wars mod? It's really extensive

[@macwelch8599]

Star Wars media needs to showcase the tanks more often

[@welkingunther5417]

Yes, my favorite tank from Classic Battlefront 2! Safe to say, I love this thing to bits.

[@pubcle]

The story of Hell's Hammers from the EU are a beloved one for me. The Imperial repulsor tank line were really good designs.

[@ForksandFreaks]

Until this video, I always hated having to use this tank in EAs BF2, but now I know it’s because I’ve been using it as a heavy tank like the AAT. While granted it doesn’t have the same boost feature, it makes so much more sense knowing it’s better used as a more agile armored artillery unit. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, I was just using it wrong this whole time lol

[@PennsyPappas]

I still have Star Wars the clone wars 2002 game and loved the fighter tanks as I always thought it was a perfect blend between a tank/walker and a speeder bike. It truly was a one man multi role vehicle. Both this one and the one the CIS had in the game. Wish we could've seen it in the tv shows.

[@neehawk777]

Rothana Heavy Engineering: "Have you ever seen a Tank with a Nitrous Boost?" "Would You Like TO?"

[@undraftedboomer5055]

Love the saber tank from the battlefront games (old and new). And I am so glad you mentioned the imperial S1 firehawk heavy repulsortank. This is my favorite tank for the empire. Its fast, has heavy armor, and has a very accurate main gun that could easily shoot down airspeeders and low-flying starfighters, plus it had a range of 5km. Also had a medium blaster cannon with a 1km range in a secondary turret. Loved the video, look forward to more!

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

I personally like the idea of the TX-130t variant being used to push up into a hectic battlefield and drop off a 4 man clone commando team deep in enemy territory. Or use 2 of them to drop off a 10 man ARC trooper squad too

[@eclipped]

Honestly like the saber for a main vehicle over any walkers, the saber is super versatile and has some great mobility, of course the empire only upgraded it from there which makes it even cooler👌🏻

[@UlookinMe]

I wish we could have got these in the clone wars.. one of the best most practical vehicles.

[@Akhen.]

That ending line has gotta be one of the best in the history of your channel, kudos for that one

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

Without an Abso-fraking-lute doubt that the TX-130 is one of my Most Absolute favorite Tanks in the Star Wars Universe!!!!! Definitely enjoyed playing the Republic Fighter Tank in The Clone Wars game on my Original Xbox console Definitely glad it made an appearance in recent Battlefront 2 game

[@jamesricker3997]

You inadvertently brought to light evidence of the rivalry between the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army. For defense of the Death Star they used surplus TX-130s because the Imperial Army would not give up any of their walkers

[@marshalllatta2073]

The tx-130 tank is one of my favorite vehicles in star wars love your videos Man they are so cool

[@cherrypoptart2001]

I remember in the OG battlefront1 the clone trooper variant launched its missiles separately and the imperial version fired them both in a salvo. Plus they had different laser colors. Good times

[@LoneWolf20213]

this is my favorate hovertank, it is basically how think a hover tank should act like compared to other tank types

Small correction: The first battle of geonosis tanks were piloted by Mace Windu and Luminara Unduli.

[@thatonigod]

Wait 400km range but it cruses at 192km so barely over 2h of operational time if used flat out? i know that they probably wont do flat out for 2h but still that feels realy short range for a fast attack rig.

I was gonna comment this lol

[@wackyweyland8857]

Lego made a great one the first time around. I can't say the same for the second and third attempts...

[@beedrillbot121]

I personally think we could really use a Star Wars game that plays like the World of games. Imagine in a Galaxy of Warships game flying around in a Venator fighting Star Destroyers or Providence ships. Or a tank counterpart where you get to play as a Wookiee missile vehicle fighting against people in Hailfire droids.

This tank is Star Wars' version of the Warthog from Halo, it's small, light, packs a punch and seems to be used everywhere by nearly everyone.

[@dmann5938]

I wish people could talk more about more obscure walkers like the AT-OT :/ I swear like the only non-LEGO AT-OT related video is the video on Republic units for the EAW Fall Of The Republic mod

[@marcelxd1633]

He made a video about the at ot But it is 5 years old

[@devingendron2287]

I feel like the best replacement for the original turret is either the mentioned astromech for cyberwarfare or swapping out the light blaster with a repeating ion cannon in a bubble turret like on the original Y-wing. Having a turrret up top for antipersonnel is useful generally, ion works just as good or better for antipersonnel when your main enemies are droids, AND then you can have the turret gunner soften up shielded targets more effectively so the main guns can take'em down more quickly.

[@IDKproductions69420]

After using this vehicle to get level 100 for my armour class in BF2 I’m so glad this video is a thing

[@ZinXlX]

I really do not understand what was the point of that tracked "tank" in that ambush scene in the city from Rogue One. The dang thing was very low to the ground already and yet they added the main weapons to the sides of the tracks which made it impractical to shoot targets in most if not all environments. Even worse was that the weapon layout was meant for a hover tank which gave it the height and maneuverability to use said weapons but they used it on a tracked vehicle instead.

[@calebbarnhouse496]

There is a hover variant of that tank, which we haven't seen used anywhere, but the tank itself is fine, just weird that they wanted a tracked vehicle for the empire though I think an imperial saber tank with an enclosed hover trailed being pulled behind it would have been the best way to do it

[@TheWampam]

Late comment, but I think it is possible, that somebody messed up and showed the tracks that were there to move the setpiece.

[@TytheBandit]

You mean Luminara not Secura. It’s all good though man good vid.
