By far the tx-130 wins I mean come on it’s one of the best vehicles in battlefront ii. So against the TX-130, the TX-130 crushes it. TX-130 wins

Doesn’t the 2005 version also have a speed boost, which is what the stamina bar is for

Battlefront I 2004 has splash damage for both the lasers and missiles.

[@antoniolee5457]

The TX-130 in New bf2 has a lot of splash damage

[@kevinmontrond6528]

By alot you mean like 5 feet radius splash damage. You can kill people hiding behind objects with it. Heroes cant even run from it.

[@jimbodeek]

Plus both it and its 2005 counterpart had the turret on top.

[@equesfuscus]

You haven't properly used a Republic Fighter Tank until you've learned to push AATs over the ledge again and again on Mygeeto in the 2005 game.

[@cueball6969]

2019 BF2 really depends on your play style The TX-130 is more a run and gun, agressive tank The AAT is a more defensive, hold the line tank

[@BPKPhoenix]

Basically: TX-130 functions as a Medium tank and AAT is practically a Tank Destroyer.

[@CHRF-55457]

Im not sure about 2019 BF2's AATs, but in the Star Wars The Clone Wars game on the GameCube, the AATs had a major flaw with their turrets being unable to swivel 360 to fire behind them. So when a TX-130 Saber tank just zoomed past an AAT and got behind it, the Saber was able to hide from the AAT's main gun while shooting the AAT in the back.

[@starguy321]

The Empire’s version of the tank in Battlefront 2004 had green lasers too, which I thought was nifty

If SWBF3 happens, I hope some vehicles have ‘loadouts’ so when you enter a vehicle, it changes to the loud you set. The one with a turret is mainly for infantry and then there would be an artillery with more middle stuffs. 2 play styles

[@barcodemanIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

I absolutely fell in love with the new TX-130 when it came out. I managed to get a killstreak of 48 on my first try and I was alive for the whole groundphase with this beast. What's also important is that it finally balanced the fact that seppies had a tank and clonebois didn't.

[@faye61]

no matter how many bombastic vids i watch, i can never take andrew seriously when he speaks

[@baku5127]

Were forgetting about vehicle design. The older version looked absolutely fantastic in design. It just looked strong and bulky. The new design however, it just looked flat and plastic like. I’d prefer the older design.

[@MCJonCRLKLLR]

TX-130: "I'm you" TX-130: " You're weak."

[@generalstarcat9961]

In my sci-fi fandom the TX-130 is the medium armour vehicle which is a combo of both battlefront 2's with the dosh dosh dosh and missiles of EA bf2 and the beam cannon from the og bf2 but the gunner/commander of it is lower down cus ya'know keep guys alive and stuff

[@LordExor]

Battlefront (2004) had the best and most powerful vehicles in the series. Each shot had splash damage that could kill anything instantly, something neither Battlefront II can brag about. They were also harder to kill, being vulnerable only to mines, rockets, and other tanks.

[@commanderclown8620]

My favorite thing to do with the tank in the new battlefront is play CS on geonosis, maneuver up the big hill, and then just go flying through the air to the command post on top of the hill and start blasting everything.

[@Makocat]

The very first battlefront had such an amazing heavy canon feel. You could feel how hard it decimated your enemies when you use your primary vehicle weapons. Too amd battlefront II 2005 got rid if that splash damage and screen shaking. Makes me feel like vehicles do nothing to enemy units.

[@CaltheDeadMan]

I like how the empire had a grey one. In the old Battlefront Games.

[@CHRF-55457]

3:29 But you know what's funny? The older versions have the most detailed tank. Also, if you're playing on Star Wars The Clone Wars game on the GameCube, the Tank's pretty fun and easy to handle.

[@RealGLP]

You forgot that the TX-130 from 2005 had a boost function that let it fly forward into the air, and with it you could usually kill units if you landed on top of them.

[@TruSoggy]

aaand its more tanky than the 2019 one cause everytime i played the 2019 one i died in seconds

[@moffxanatos6376]

If we go by the in game stats alone, the Battlefront classic ones win due to having 8 times the health and 1000 damage on the turret beam gun, but then again they are operating on a different stat scale.

[@abohachuk4765]

Imperial TX-130 also called IFT from old BF 2 is my favourite because reasons

[@tristanr7581]

I love how you can troll people with the front lol

[@ryandavidson2502]

Almost all the classic version are better than the new ones. Simply cause you don't just magically appear in them, they spawn on the map and you go and get into them and most are multi seat meaning you can ride around with friends. The troop carrier being the most fun (don't remember its official name), you could load in soo many clones into that thing. The pilot with his guns, the side gunners and a bunch of troops in the back ready to land and invade an enemy outpost. We just need a remaster of the real Battlefront 2, that game came with more content at release then the years of update EA and Dice's version has now in 2021.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

I prefer the blue bolts because blue is what all the clones used due to ionization of the bolts making them more effective vs droids

[@AkFumbles]

@Bombastic You can crush people in the old Battlefront 2 as well. Just boost at them and they'll get ran over.

[@CinematicSeriesGaming]

I don't understand why this tank shoots red blasters. Aren't Republic blasters supposed to be blue or green?

Never gone happen with Gambling Front unless EA can shoehorn in another P2W pedo loot box gimmick .... sry if you want to play a BF game with said vehicle's then you are going to have to install OG 2005 SWBF2 with mods with reshade mod being highly reccamended.

[@commanderkennyk3]

There is a small flaw to the 2019 one, if the enemy has a Stap and goes in between it can glitch and fire the tank to death and since the guns are too wide you can die to a Stap easily.

[@blackseriessupremeleaderky669]

I like 2019 tx-130

[@freestalkerdotfr6391]

What should have been nice in BF2 2017, it's that regular TX 130 laser should be blue and charged laser should be green just like in SW CW from pandemic back in 2002. It would have been more homogeneous according to old sources. But red laser for regular and blue for charged is good too because red laser are weaker than blue laser in real life. #Nerd

Agreed 2005 of SWBF2 is still the best simply bacause of it's mod support and 3rd party server hosting. Say what you want about EA fronts graphical eye candy the "game" if a pedo loot box slot machine could ever be called one is bound to die once EA drops it's live service server support leaving people who bought the game high and dry. Basically with EA Gambling Front you the consumer are their bitch .... hell you fucks don't even own your own games anymore you rent them from the publishers....

[@Phenixtri]

Hell that's the best reason for why 2005 SWBF2 is superior ... with 2005 BattleFront2 YOU the consumer own a copy of the game You own nothing with EA Front it's all digital and you pay rent to access it at EAs and woke AF Dices discretion .... for ANY arbitrary reason they can ban you and remove any games you paid for ... let that sink in before any of you EA white knights run your yap.

[@BPKPhoenix]

I never played the 2017 Battlefront 2 [which should be called Battlefront 4 because !@#$ EA] but from what I gather and as someone who has played so many hours on BF1 and BF2 on my PS2 and PC, I have noticed pretty huge differences in the kind of firepower BF1 and BF2 IFT-T TX-130 tanks have. The laser cannons in BF1 had a very explosive punch in which shooting the ground would cause some pretty nasty splash damage and a huge chance of knocking you off your feet before getting demolished by it a few shots later. This makes the long range anti-infantry role of the tank very devastating if the driver is a good shot as well. Coupling that with the lethal beam weapon on top of the tank, there is no doubt the TX-130 is immensely powerful at medium to longer sightlines to avoid rockets and concussion grenades and to a degree, laser fire from the turrets. Also the laser cannons and beam weapon are colored blue for Clones and green for the Empire. Neat touch with a different paint scheme. Can't forget the concussion missiles, they packed a fairly good punch against tanks and more so against annoying pesky turrets that had a fairly decent explosive effect and damage was reliable. Not only that but BF1 also had ammunition limits on missiles so that was a realistic touch. BF2 on the other hand increased the tank's overall maneuverability, durability to a degree and a big upgrade to the concussion missile systems onboard the tank's hover 'legs'. But it pays for it with BF2s new vehicle weapon mechanics as the Laser Cannons on the TX-130s on both factions (and all of the vehicles that don't have particle cannons) receiving a painful nerf. The rate of fire of the laser cannons were increased, the projectile speed was increased a bit, energy consumption was a bit lower, given a more basic color of red like every laser weapon ever that isn't on an Imperial ship and loses all of its destructive explosive splash damage. Because of this, you needed a higher degree of accuracy, particularly at longer sightlines where the weapon systems would lock into the center better and forcing a need to use the unlimited supply of concussion missiles that fired both at the same time, causing crippling damage to whatever it hits and if its a critical hit, oh that's a paddling. Also the missiles had a projectile speed buff I'm pretty sure so evading them was much harder in closer engagements and the splash damage isn't too bad either! The BF2 TX-130 also featured engine boosts that would give it a sudden jolt of speed and this causes the tank to be an armored train that can run over any human to wookie-sized target instantly and can make an effective battering ram in a dire banzai ram before ejecting out of the tank. This gives the tank more maneuvering options but due to the nerf of the laser cannons' splash damage or to better say, outright removal of it, the anti-infantry role is even more necessary for the beam gunner, which is pretty cool considering the beam cannon has blast shields in front to protect the gunner in front, leaving only an exposed part of his head that is like an invitation to every sniper [player, not AI] to stat pad their headshot ratios. All in all, each of the TX-130 versions are pretty respectable and apart from my HUGE gripe of not seeing the iconic beam turret on the BFII-EA [BF4 imo, fight me.], the tanks do their job very well as infantry support and use in anti-tank and anti-infantry. In a straight up fight with two very well matched players, the droid AAT edges out the TX-130 in Alpha strike due to the massive siege gun on top of the tank (reminds me of tanks we have today, love it) whereas the IFT-T TX-130 tanks has the edge in mobility and a lower profile and this goes to both games BF1 and BF2, albeit to a lesser degree with BF1 in terms of mobility. Great video nonetheless, enjoyed it to bits, TX-130 is my personal favorite tank
