I honestly think the massive waves of B1 and B2 battle droids is honestly terrifying especially if you're a clone and you're vastly outnumbered they only seem goofy and ineffective because Jedi are present and Jedi are the ultimate ex machina.

Isn’t it weird that the HMP played the same role as Mi-24s in Afghanistan and the LAAT visibly looks like a giant Mi-24 without its rotor and with the tail cut off.

Star Wars was very fond of historical vehicles, and they took many roles from modern day equipment to make it maybe even more realistic.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

really cheap on pc and the servers are back up

[@dossiebigham9113]

you can get it on steam for like 10 bucks i think and its got controller support. (you may want to install the HD menu fix.. if menu resolution don't fit your screen like i had to. I'd also recommend looking into installing the Remaster project which just makes the game look a lot better if you want something that changes the game up but still all around great. SW: Battlefront 2 Saga edition it makes the game look better adds new classes or load outs for existing ones thats more accurate to other sources i guess. adds maps from Battlefront 1 and custom maps like Umbara also game modes like uber conquest supremacy order 66 heroes vs villains so on. Than you have cross era battles. 501st vs Clones Empire vs CIS rebels vs CIS and even though this makes no sense the rebels vs the republic... ya know the one they wanted to restore but i love it. Sadly no cross era space battles and no multiplayer (yet.. maybe..) you still have regular battles and new hero units its over all really damn good. (yet.. idk if its still being worked on.)

[@FreeThePorgs]

2006 SW battlefront 2 also had them in space battles, not just in atmosphere.

[@smilingassassin8229]

I think they can be used in both just not to the effectiveness as they would be in atmosphere. Kinda how tie fighters were less effective in atmosphere than tie strikers and vice versa! My interpretation tho. The og battlefront had some awesome additions to the lore and I still beleive the rise of the empire is canon in my eyes

[@BlockIOO]

I love when you have 6 piolts in a droid gunship in SWBF II. Just unkillable in pvp with those weapons too

[@Sithplayer]

Fun fact in the onderon episode, which was an homage to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, the HMP is supposed to be the New Hind-D gunship and the Rebel missile launchers are the Stingers provided by the CIA

I always thought this was an actual ship not a Droid omg

[@sagebuchanan9725]

I feel the best time the droid army is represented is when there aren’t powerful Jedi or Jedi around at all. Look at the Speratist attack on Ryloth, Both Geonosis battles, The attack on the banking clan, the attack against Ayla Secura,The battles for Felicia, Onderon and many more.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

Practical powerful, and flexible gunships that are AI controlled and able to carry a variety of weapons even act as droid carriers but primarily were designed as Gunships and support for the troops and designed to be intimidating as hell which loses none of their capabilities and perform exactly as they were designed to do, kill everything it encounters.
