bwalt17 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 On the Battlefront website I was looking at the AT-AT specs, and it can go 60 kmph... I think...
TK-8252 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Drazek, read this: Originally posted by bwalt17 On the Battlefront website I was looking at the AT-AT specs, and it can go 60 kmph... I think... So I guess your information conflicts.
xVigilantex Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Originally posted by TK-8252 Drazek, read this: So I guess your information conflicts. Regardless of what the book or the site says, your argument was an At-At is slower than running speed. 60kph still proves you wrong.
TK-8252 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 I never said that... don't put words in my mouth...! I just said that it's not 80 kmph, which is just too fast for an AT-AT.
xVigilantex Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Originally posted by TK-8252 Look at the scene with Luke chasing an AT-AT with the grapple gun. It's moving slower than Luke running. That's not 80 kmph. ...Right. I'm obviously putting words into your mouth.
xVigilantex Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Regardless, you were implying an At-At moves slower than running speed, and when I paraphrased you, you accused me of putting words in your mouth.
TK-8252 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 *Sigh* An AT-AT doesn't move 80 kmph, as said on the official Star Wars Battlefront website. That is what I am saying. On Hoth, AT-AT's moved slower than running speed. This is an example of slow-moving AT-AT's.
Drazek Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 hmm.. the information doesn't conflict actually... 60 in the book as well. 80 was for the replusorlift atat i got the figures mixed up but still you said the atats move at walking speed.
insanellama Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 if you think about it, thats about how fast cars go on like a highway...imagine seeing an at-at going that fast...i really couldn't picture an at-at going that fast, it would look like a running dog or something
bwalt17 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 It only seems to look slow because it is so big... Yeah... But most highways are like 65 or so... But still it's pretty fast...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 would you want to move your car 80 kmph in a car parking spot ? I don't think so but the same answer applies here you slow down. Oh, so you're saying that during this charge on the rebel base they chose to move only 20 km/h? When it was imperative that they reach the base in time? I think not, sorry to say so. OK, for those not familiar with the metric system: 17-25 km/h: Average human running speed. 40 km/h: World record running speed. 100 km/h: 60 mi/h. 1mi: About 0,6km. Give or take. So 80km/h= 48 mi/h exactly (80x.6). 80km/h? No f***ing way. As for the technical books saying it: Don't go there. Just don't. Those books contradict each others like Bible writers on crack, and they are all approved by Lucas. Which means Lucas doesn't give a damn anymore (which are old news). Slippery ice? It'll take a very slippery surface to topple a 200-ton AT-AT (a tank is 60 tonnes, so go figure the weight of the AT-AT). I can't picture an AT-AT slipping, I just can't. Swoop = top speed - some can exceed six hundred kmph ... Riiight... And if I remember correctly from those books, landspeeder altitude ceiling is, what, 500 meters ? Oh, and 600km/h: 360 mi/h. About the joints freezing? Warm machinery doesn't freeze that fast. Remember, they were straight out of their drop ships, which can't have been as cold as Hoth. And if their engines were not warm by the time they left the drop ships, they would get warm soon enough. Either way, machinery does most often not freeze. Not enough moving parts (and even the moving parts, like the axles, don't freeze. That simple).
Jan Gaarni Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Even though the 80 km/h figure came first, 60km/h seems more achivable by such a large vehicle in my opinion. Remember, it's gonna take alot of shockabsorbing to deal with the very violant shaking that is going to be created by those huge legs crashing down into the ground, even on a flat surface, with that kind of rapid movement.
Armydude71490 Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 On thing I noticed was that in the movies :atat: 's seemed to move really slow because the kind of went into a shooting stance This was because in that battle the 's were just being field tested obvesiouly the test worked!!! I have found this in fo on the officail starwars site databank so don't say I am lieing! Though 80 kph sounds pritty farfetched 60 is prob better!! But I am used to mph so don't quote me!!!
cbc72 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 All I know is I wish I had some animation ability. Seeing the argument and the icons of stormtroopers the posters are using made me think of two stormtroopers standing guard somewhere, arguing about the speed of AT-ATs. TK 498 "Hey, I heard the new armored transports go 80 Kmph." HL 578 "No way. I saw those in field testing, there is no way they go 80 Kmph." TK 498 "Yep. I know a guy in the motor pool who used to work with a guy who is now in R&D and he said they will top out at 80 Kmph." Maybe LA can inlcude it as one of the conversations the Stormtroopers are having in the next Jedi Knight game.
