THE jEDi-sLaYEr Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 I've heard rumors and have even seen it in the trailer. During the battle of Hoth, can the Rebel Pilot run under and grapple the belly of an AT-AT and climb up it to take it out or take it over? If so, how? Thanks for having a look, I'm really interested in seeing if this is possible.
THE jEDi-sLaYEr Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 So is anyone able to confirm this?
HaVoK-G2 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I have not been able to get close enough yet Maybe ill try it on lan, but I dont see what button you would press yet, if it even exists.. Going to try use, right click (but thats repair for pilots) etc.. *edit* I dont think you can ;x
Bum Hunter Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I'm most likely thinking that you cannot do this. I haven't tried, but i have a guess that it won't work.
mwolfe Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 heard rumors but so far there is nothing in the pilot inventory to support this rumor.. tried many different things, and even different charactures but nothing worked.
Alegis Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I'm afraid this is not possible. You'll need to use your towcables
THE jEDi-sLaYEr Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks for getting back and testing this out everyone. After many atempts myself...I agree it is not possible. Hope I didn't get to many excited, I just wanted to clear this up. I haev however discovered how exciting and fun it is to be a pilot regardless of which side you're on (I like Imp and CIS pilots best, please forgive me rebs), but the rebel and republic pilots are fun also. Only thing I hate is people don't take advatage of there classes. When I'm a pilot I like to stick with good players and destroy the enemies health and ammo droids while supplying my guys with health/ammo from my packs...then once we cap the spawn repair the droids we destroyed. Also, more people need to repair and use G to switch secondary weapons/abilities. Its fun to destroy things at the enemies spawn then rebuild once you take over (Mounted guns, etc). All classes have these little perks but I rarely see people use them.
Scavenger Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 The point of the whole hoth battle, that the rebels have a hard task at hand, to stop those atats coming in, rebels were getting f***** up, but they did get a few down, i dont mind a challenge , so i also dont mind if its towcable only, BUT the grapple hook would be a nice addition, but the atats would be too easily down, imagine a few pilots storming the 2 atats from the sides, those atats wouldnt stand a chance against them, only if they are continuesly guarded by atst's...
Gulu Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Scavanger, I take it you talking about grapple hooks to take down the AT-AT. I know that you can trip the AT-AT and see it crash. As in the movie.
singard Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I have to disagree here -- I think the Rebels have an insane advantage on Hoth. Two snowspeeders with competent pilots/gunners can easily down the Imperial AT-AT's before they become anything close to a threat. There's really no imperial weapons capable of countering the snowspeeders -- except for a crafty imperial pilot to snatch a snowspeeder and shoot the rebels down.
TK-8252 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 If the Rebels use teamwork and fight decently they absolutely have a fair opportunity to win. Get two players in each Snowspeeder, troops on turrets and Pilots fixing the turrets, Vanguards destroying the AT-ST's, and snipers picking off incoming troops, and it's almost a guarenteed win.
THE BADGER: Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 Me and a buddy win Hoth everytime with one snowspeeder. And your right the Empire has no vehicle to counter the snowspeeder.
Iceman_IX Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I'm always imperial missile trooper. I can usually take down a Snowspeeder with a little assistance, even though the tracking of the missiles is garbage. Hard though. AT-ATs annihilate all the infantry, the Imp troops take the CPs, and the lack of much of an anti-infantry vehicle for the Rebels usually ensures victory. Usually my experiences
FishStix Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 yeah, Hoth is pretty fun and the snowspeeders are nice, first time i ever used the snowspeeder with my friend when we were on ventrilo i was the cable guy and we took down 4 AT-AT's with one snowspeeder which was pretty fun, but the next time we only only got one, seemed like me friend lost his touch over night them gained it back at the end of the map
{NJO} Pilo T Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 well, since Rebel Pilots don't run around with sabers, there would be know way for them to blow it up... so it wouldn't make sense.
TK-8252 Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 When piloting an AT-AT I actually managed to shoot down at least three Snowspeeders. A direct hit with the main cannons blows a Snowspeeder to pieces. Two of these Snowspeeders were half-way through their rounds with the tow cable too.
vmontice Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 I agree the Imperial Tie Fighter/Bomber handles nice. Sometime I trade my x/y wing for an tie fighter on the battlefield
Wolfsflame Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 The only way most ppl die using a snow speeder is lag lag is a snow speeders greatest enemy.......
Orichifunk Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I always see people win with the Rebels on Hoth. People take down the AT-ATs quite easily, and imo it's not even averagly hard. Just have a good gunner and drive fast and precise and you got yourself an AT-AT in the ground.
Isaiah Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I've managed to win the Hoth battle as the rebels in single player in under 3 minutes once. Started as a pilot and jumped straight into a snow speeder (AI on cable). Went straight off to pull down two AT-ATs (another speeder had the same idea). By the time I'd done that I found that we'd already captured the other empire command post so we won 20 seconds later! (AT-ATs are mobile command posts remember so you have to have them both out of the game to win this way) I've also managed to take out a few snowspeeders with the main AT-AT guns but it's really hard and not very reliable. I'd definatly rather be holding a missile launcher for that task. Preferably behind the AT-AT ;-)

Perhaps if people used their brains and set the game at the appropriate connection levels then this wouldn't happen!
Wolfsflame Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 well sadly most servers have lag ..... has any1 tried roping an atst with a snow speeder?
OAPMisticDan Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 I have some tips to protect your AT-AT, apart from the obvious cover fire from AT-ST/Ground troops. If you move as close to the mountain sides as possible, this makes flying round the legs hazardous. You can also walk both the AT-ATs in formation, with one slightly ahead of the other so that the snowspeeders collide with the other AT-ATs legs, of course this lessens the tactical benefits of 2 independant moving CPs, but can be effective in reducing (if not eliminating) AT-AT losses.
Lord Jerec Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Originally posted by Wolfsflame well sadly most servers have lag ..... You must be looking in the wrong place my friend. All the ones I host and my buddies, all ok, who knows whats going on. I guess its about getting the right balance of Bots too.
NCIceman Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 What is the pilot fusion cutter for? Damaging enemy vehicles close range? Jacking them?
