My suspicion is that tactical droids work the same basic way that chess computers work: They have records of a whole bunch of real and simulated/scrimmaged battles, analyze those for common threads and patterns and then use that to determine what is likely to happen, hence their constant mentioning of "odds." This leaves them with an obvious weakness when facing highly unconventional or innovative opponents, since they still suffer the lack of creativity most droids have. The T-series also doesn't seem like it is very good at understanding human/alien psychology, a weakness that the Supertactical Droid seems to have compensated for.

[@joshuakim5240]

Pretty much this. The T-series tactical droids were too clingy to probability odds and as a result the easiest way to beat them was simply to implement a nonsensical strategy regardless of how ridiculous it is since T-series tactical droids couldn't adapt to changing battlefield conditions in any way. The Super Tactical Droids were designed to factor in unpredictable odds as variables rather than simply discard them, which made a crazy huge difference.

[@samuelqin3736]

This is exactly the reason computers are so strong at pre-defined games (chess, go, checkers, etc) but are crazy bad at doing anything that has irregularities in it. Look at the reCaptcha boy test- it’s literally asking a computer to identify pictures. How tf do you do that?

[@insertname1667]

Mentlegen well see the thing about RTS games is that the AI usually has a limited set of behaviours it can follow, so it's much easier for players to figure out what the AIs plan is and adapt to that (or just screw around with the AI) than it is for the AI to know what you're doing even if you're just using tried and true tactics.

If we gave both factions their armies etc but removed palpatine completely the confederacy would win in the end. Massively and insanely outnumber the republic, superior navy, most of its military leaders were people with actual shit tons of combat experience as opposed to the jedi being peace keepers and hadnt involved themselves in a major war since the mando wars depending on which canon you go by so they shouldnt be compotent at all. The droids in the films were much better where they were a silent swarm kind of thing but they are just comic relief in tcw.

[@mikevasquez1103]

It's also important to note that many of their defeats were actually the result of not their incompetence but the superior competence of their enemies. It can be very easy to forget that watching a movie or TV show in this case is basically like going on a ride along with the best of the best in any given group. This will make everyone around them look highly incompetent by comparison. It's also very difficult to calculate the force variable. One thing I'd like to see is a series of videos based on a type of droid you would design and/or the way you would implement a given technology. I think installing purpose built droid brains directly into every turret(turbolaser, laser, point defense, etc. And programmed exclusively for that function, would have been far more effective than having B-1 battledroids operate gunner stations the way a person would. They could even be linked to a specialized fire control station for greater efficiency.

[@wruenvadam]

@@raymondkunkel642 Well there's no doubt about that, but still I would surmise to say that while it may far from common for the T-series droids, I think such behavior would be a bit more common for the Super Tactical Droids, based on what we have seen from the very few that appeared in the show. They seem to have a somewhat greater capacity for doing things a bit outside of what the average droid can do. Honestly if i were to put their capability of strategy on a scale, it would sit on the same scale as chess players and SuTac droids would probably rate 2000+, up there with some of the masters and certainly a worthy opponent of any strategist and tactician worth their mettle, whereas a standard T-series Tactical Droid would maybe rate down in the 1400-1500 range on average, which is the win some and lose others range. still above absolute average but not amazing. and the ones below them i would probably give 1200. Thats the way I see it at least. I think we should get a video on the various Super Tactical Droids in Star Wars. I feel it might be pretty interesting.

When a programmer that doesn't understand a thing about military tactics has to program a tactical droid that will lead thousands of other stupid droid that were programmed by programmers whose only experience with guns and battlefield were with CoD

[@cirrusfox8052]

A programmer doesn't have to know much about strategy or military tactics to make a machine capable of beating military generals. The machine that beat the world's best chess player wasn't made by a chess player, it was made by IMB programmers who didn't even play chess. The program was designed to adapt and learn every time it failed to beat an opponent. It may have completely sucked at the beginning but eventually it beat the world champion chess player because of its self learning ability.

[@DanteYewToob]

Before I even watch... My theory was that, very much like many of the Jedi and Kaminoans, the Seperatists just underestimated and undervalued the individuality and uniqueness of the clones. They also massively underestimated Jedi like Kit Fisto, Mace Windu and especially General Skywalker! They used calculations based on the clones behaving exactly like robots, following orders perfectly and not deviating from set tactics and those orders were calculated from poor information on the Jedi. Most people knew very little about Jedis as individuals and probably used a single algorithm or calculation for most if not all of them... I'm betting any outliers like Mace and his darker approach, Anakin and his crazy risky tactics and very individualistic clones, or Obi Wan who knew he wasn't a General and allowed his Clones and Cody make massive decisions... They just didn't have enough information to work with. They were working with bad information and calculating victory based on assumptions that all Jedi were very similar if not the same, and that all clones were the same. Also, I assume the Droids assumed the Clones and Jedi would be "Logical" more often than they were. Jedi were driven by emotion much more than they'd like to admit, but it made them hard to calculate. They wouldn't retreat when it would be logical, they would go fight an entire army to rescue 3 clones, they would raze half the galaxy to track down a lost droid... shit that makes absolutely no logical sense. That is my theory.

[@adamlong6711]

GG Tac Droids. You came close, but you just couldn’t hit the mark.

[@alejandroelluxray5298]

That's very likely the reason

[@VainerCactus0]

This is the best theory. Maybe they even reused the algorithm that the Tactical Droids were using to command their armies to predict what the Republic would do? How long did the people who programmed Tactical Droids have between them knowing they would be at war with the Republic and when there actually was war? If they only had a few months, I can believe they would reuse that algorithm just because it takes less time.

[@TheWhiskyDelta]

That works from an overarching perspective, but we all know the main reason is plot armour. In general the droids were since the film episode 1 designed to be childish buffoons in general for thematic reasons and the clone wars series stayed true to this type. When you add on the need for the heroes to not die and in turn to win at the end of the day the result is droids just being terrible. One of the best examples of this is commando droids, the only droids that typically do seem competent... until the heroes need to win at which point they become mind numbingly incompetent (with maybe one notable exception). Even magna guards mostly seemed pretty incapable save for Dooku's yellow boys. Honestly it's the one big failing in the series (with the only real exceptions being force users) that the CIS usually seem like buffoons easily overcome, instead of a dangerous foe that is overcome through the heros daring and ingenuity.

I legit just watched the Battle of Ryloth on KZbin, and I was wondering about why Tactical Droids are almost always wrong too😂😂

[@lukez9721]

The real answer is plot armor

[@korstmahler]

Those basic droids in the hanger were on break to help defrag all the spaghetti coded v1.0.1 OS junk. It's like taking a win95 designed system and somehow putting Vista1.0, bloatware and all into it.

[@kierand289]

Korstmahler bro what

[@UploadsfortheSoul]

These characters embody the idea of "The moment your opponent starts bragging, you've won." The tactical droids are always declaring victory before it is acted out; (w/numbers like 99%); always falling for a false sense of security and then being bit in the arse ; quite interesting really

[@fighterdroid7685]

Am I the only one who thinks how the tactical droids talk is the most satisfying voices of all time?

[@jmarq2283]

The reason why they’re usually wrong is because they are T-Series

[@codyraugh6599]

Tactical droids were a good decision. The real failure of the CiS wasn't strategic but tactical. (The name there causes a bit of a oddity) Tactical droids were excellent commanders and command support with great strategic grasp, but they weren't designed as field officers, something which the CiS lacked and apparently refused to address. What's more the best way the CiS could have kept their own people more invested in the war further lowering costs and keeping public support in the face of any economic difficulties, would have been to train and field organic field officers for the army. Specifically field officers who are drilled to recognize the droids as battlefield assets, not at sentient beings. Train these men and woman that droids were just extensions of their own warfighting ability, rather than squadmates and that optimal use of the droids as weapons to achieve their field goals was what was needed. Using a droid as a shield while advancing, sacrificing part of the squad for an advantage to eliminate a clone squad ect. And generally moving the droids further away from the incredibly simplistic phalanx formations and more into extensions of the CiS warfighters.

[@loserinasuit7880]

The droids never account for the living soul. And that is the hardest thing to predict.

[@collindee8370]

ight so if it was 7042/1 odds, maybe the driod did everything right and it just happened to be the 1% chance of loss. cause remember obi wan was a force user and the force is like the beefiest plot armor ever, with obi wan leading, the droid didnt have a chance because no matter the odds obi wan would come out on top by finding the one way of victory.

[@collindee8370]

btw geetsly love your vids, especially the clone wars stuff, personally its my favorite because i was like 12 when it came out and i watched all the way through. 17 now im pumped for the new season

[@JustFun-mm9in]

He followed the dreams of many and ultimately RECREATED THE CONFEDERACY

[@bigiron1311]

ReallyX he slowly traveled the galaxy finding and reactivating as many droids and ships as he could, and he and his droids took bounty jobs to help keep them all running and growing. He grew his army successfully and became rather powerful with it. He then took a few smaller victories from the empire while still growing. Eventually the empire fell before he could really do to much big but he survives much longer. I’m sure that’s how it goes. Yep. Definitely.

[@JediAcolyte94]

Looking forward to more of Droid Week. Hope you cover the Cortosis droid and the B3 Ultra Battle droid.

[@nathanshkopiak9060]

T series tactical droids are probably one of the coolest and most unique CIS droids, my personal top 5 favorites are TV-94 K2-B4 TX-20 TA-175 The one over umbara

[@lukez9721]

They always sounded more robotic than the other war robots

[@gabriellosson5525]

There is also that one T-series droid that had the brilliant idea on Christophsis to fight like a soviet comissar on the roof (while it is clearly not his job) and got his head ripped apart for analisys. Just brilliant

[@IxodesPersulcatus]

Primary flaw: Lack of improvisational abilities. Always acts according to predictions, completely unable to revise the plan in motion when new data is introduced, unless the new data was expected and accounted for in the prediction.

What was his goal? Intimidate a cold tactical droid with choking? I dont think so😅

[@blackshogun272]

Droids low-key have a fear of death or in the own words: "Being deactivated" It's actually pretty sad because they think they're alive and the ones that know thy aren't real and try to act cold and tough, deep down don't want to "die" either really. It brings up the question of taking life from something that gains Sentience and if taking a machines life and consciousness really right. If you'll do it to a machine then you'll do it to a person as well..
