popcorn2008 Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 i figger the tie-tank was the infintry killer I wouldnt think so, because it seemed to die very easily in it's video. It seemed to me to be a cheap, massproduced piece of junk.
Athanasios Posted November 29, 2005 Author Posted November 29, 2005 Tie - Mauler , nice design, nice fire rating (three lasers firing in turns - continuously); i guess with some tech advantages they can anihilate the inantry... ............................and yes, they're destroyed too easily in the video, without even taking out a troop. I think Petro has montazed A LOT those little videos as far as health status is concerend.
shadowsfm Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 yeah, i just saw that, tie-mawlers are a piese of junk
Dagobahn Eagle Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 i thought the at-st was a vechle destroyer, not a troop killer It's got rockets and grenades as well as lasers (probably not in the game, though:p), but I wouldn't take on a rebel T-3b tank with it:).
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I think it was only "transformed" into a tank destroyer in SWGB, due to the fact that they didn't have anything else and the AT-ST did destroy another one in RotJ. However, that thing is obviously anti-infantry, at least as its main purpose.
shadowsfm Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 an at-st would kill anything at a distance, but its weakness is that it has a big blind spot underneath
darthfergie Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I think it was only "transformed" into a tank destroyer in SWGB, due to the fact that they didn't have anything else and the AT-ST did destroy another one in RotJ. However, that thing is obviously anti-infantry, at least as its main purpose. Indeed they didn't have anything else, but they didn't have much of anything for the Rebels either, they created units. They were doing their best to slot things into spots so everyone would be mostly even when they should have been looking at unique spots. It sounds like that's what EAW is trying to achieve so far and trying to stress a little more uniqueness, I'm just afraid due to the video that EAW has slotted the AT-ST into a Medium Tank position also when quite honestly, I don't think it has the armor or the armament to compete that way. Sure it can destroy "anything" organic or lightly armored, but I don't see it putting holes in an AT-AT at all. I don't consider it's laser cannons as powerful as those sitting on some starfighters and really more equivalent to that of the snowspeeders or light artillery if that even. I see it just as it's named, a scout vehicle. Almost a Humvee if you will. Anti-infantry seems to be its main forte, while it can seemingly stand with a heavier vehicle with its rockets, etc. I seem to remember that the rockets were anti-personell. I'll leave you with two happy quotes. The two-legged craft, dubbed the scout walker by many, serves as a reconnaisance and patrol vehicle, often flanking approaching AT-ATs and mopping up infantry that sneaks past the larger walkers. Because of this speed and mobility, scout walkers spell death to infantry units. Its laser cannons and grenade launchers can cut through troop emplacements. Its foot-mounted steel claws can slice through trip wires or soldiers that close to engage. Anti-Infantry all the way...so were the troops just invincible? Did they have a height advantage and the AT-ST missed them? What? Because they looked untouched by a declared anti-infantry vehicle on open ground with no cover.
Admiral Sith Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 It had a short range Concussion Missle Launcher, along with very fast firing lasers able to cut infantry down fast.
Darth_Extas Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 AT-ST=All Terrain-Scout Transport Since it is officially a scout transport why did they nesessarily have it be so hard to kill, I would of stoped it at 5 rockets at least for a much more reasonable gameplay.
shadowsfm Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 only 5? becouse rocketters come in 6, thats as good as a one hit kill. how about 18
Darth_Extas Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 If it is a scout, it does not nessesarily have to be hard to kill. It is a scout so it would make sense to be weak...but fast. Oh darn I forgot the speeder-bikes(DO'H)
shadowsfm Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 yup, the speederbikes are the true scouts. and the probe droid
popcorn2008 Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I think they need to reduce the AT-STs death by one or two rounds, making it die with 30 or 24 rockets. Now like I have said MANY times this may have been upgraded. It also appears petro has messed with health status in these videos to make a better viewing expierence.
