I feel like Vulture droids were severely under utilized for CAS. Imagine you're a clone trooper about to overrun a CIS planet, and then all of a sudden flying BMPs start showing up decimating what little light armored support you have.

Being a kid is liking the clones because "Oh wow proto-Stormtroopers, Star Destroyers, walkers, etc."
Being an adult is liking the CIS because you recognize their unique designs, their economic & industrial power, and because you respect the leaders who tard-wrangled the whole thing.

They're great until you read the retarded lore that says they only have 35min of operation time. It's like the CIS hover tank having a top speed of only 35mph.

Fuck those were annoying to fight inbRepublic Commando. Really gave you a sense of how powerful jedi and sith are compared to regular ass people. Obi Wan and Anakin can cut them down like nothing, but it takes your entire squad working together to have a chance against two.
>>
>>65103531
Makes sense with that reveal, they were never supposed to be a real threat to the republic, they were only supposed to look like one long enough for Sheev to trick all the senators into extending and expanding his emergency powers. Once that was done he needed something he could just pull the plug on and sweep under the rug.

Republic Commando was such a good game. I should replay it sometime.

>>65103495
The Clone wars were barely on the level of the Actual civil war most of the time. Sometimes way, way behind the ACW. A WW1 fighter with 35 minutes of operation time would be a big advantage in a world where most armies could be beaten by fucking George Washington.

Which type of SW droid would be the most useful for the military today?
I'd say those guys. Powerful, tireless, scary, hard to kill, no fear and no remorse, and barely less itelligent than your average marine, the perfect infantry

I'd say the b1 because it can operate special weapons like recoilless rifles and drive vehicles
b2 is limited by whatever you make for it specifically to use
being fearful, the b1 is able to preserve its life for a more effective attack later on
b2 would just die like a retard
>>
>>65104837
You're probably missing most of your shots because you aren't using the ADS the game doesn't tell you it has.
>>
>>65105021
B1 has questionable accuracy and reflexes. If those weren't at issue I would prefer them for weight of numbers and being able to occupy a large area that is supported by combined arms and their ability to throw hand grenades has a lot of merit for trench clearing and urban operations. But I am wary that they seem to disassemble from force pushes and human unarmed melee strikes.

Droidika have great ground mobility and suppressive fire from behind an energy shield. I would want them as a team machinegunner as my base of fire and casualty causer. I think they can roll up and down stairs too, so their mobility is probably in the acceptable range.

Honestly the current tech of quadcopter and ground vehicle with a machine gun or grenade launcher turret is quite good. It really just needs some better onboard AI for target recognition and tracking, navigation and some executive functions.

The speeder bike lancers are pants on head retarded for a setting like Star Wars (beyond say an underdeveloped alien race like the Tuskens or Gungans) and I don't know how anyone can take Genndywars seriously because of shit like them

No one takes Gennedy wars seriously; one of the CIS super weapons is literally just a giant fuckoff stomper piston.

Genndy is just very good at visual design and selling spectacle, and he understands how to have characters shut the fuck up for five minutes and just do what they need to get done, which sets him head and shoulders over a bunch of directors even if he's completely without restraint.

Really? Because every other board on this site seems to think it's a gift from God with how hard they glaze it, at least compared to TCW

other boards aren't too invested in how realistic the battles are, lightsabers aren't exactly a realistic weapon for interstellar civs in the first place even for super monks with precog, too much shit it couldn't block

>>65106333
I think anon means in the sense that it shouldn't be taken as a deadly serious work intended to portray a grounded or realistic take on the setting. Which is distinct from if it's good or not.

I didnt say it was bad. I said it wasn't serious. People LIKE IT for the reasons I said earlier; Genndy is good at over the top spectacle and is smart enough to realize that sometimes you only need 1-2 complete sentences in an episode instead of filling the runtime with useless blabbering.

It's like Megas XLR. No one takes Megas XLR seriously but that doesn't mean they don't like it. The show itself just isn't serious.

To be fair, the Separatists were already losing the battle at that point and getting desperate. The (((Banking Clan))) already wasn't known for its military acumen.

>Durge, we've already lost 90% of our AATs because we're fucking ork-tier retards who can't into air defense, what do we do?
>We have a warehouse full of impounded speeder bikes and some IG droids with an outdated OS installed, just program them to charge the Republic's forces head-on!

As to why Kenobi chose to meet them with his own clone troopers mounted on speeder bikes instead of just having LAATs vaporize them from above, well you got me on that one.

>one of the CIS super weapons is literally just a giant fuckoff stomper piston.

re. some piece of mining equipment that was repurposed and billed as wunderwaffen because the CIS military was almost entirely comprised of in-house corporate security, private military companies, and planetary militias amalgamated into a single force and presumably plagued with incompatible equipment and overlapping command structures
