Funny, but a nice tid bit of news for SWGB lol

[Guest Lord Tirion]

I was always wondering this question even before I bought SWGB:

 

 

Can you fit an AT-AT in a transport?

 

The answer suprisingly is that you can fit 5 of them in it!

 

How weird is that?

[Jedi_Knight]

i was going to ask that but i forgot thats pretty stupid they should have mech transport that pulls mechs apart and transports them somewhere else

[GB_StormTrooper]

thats funny because I havent tried it yet......pretty wierd

[Guest dlayers]

It seems like I vaguely remember in ESB a background shot of the AT AT's landing and they where 'compact' and then expanded before moving in on the rebels at Hoth.

 

So maybe we are supposed to assume that's what happens with the transport?

[Clefo]

I think your able to to that because everyone else's assault mechs are a lot smaller than the Empire's, so they have to be fair and equal

[Guest Kioet Csuhen]

that's lame!!! They should've used the AT-AT barge.

[Guest Kudar]

interesting to say the least, you'd never think even 1 AT-AT would fit into one of those ickle transports

[Guest kennymaster]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS TOO WEIRD...they should made one special transport for at at's

[Paragon_Leon]

That's one thing Force Commander showed quite nicely; ATAT's being deployed by barges..

I can understand the technical aspects of why the team did what they did with the game.

[Guest Tie Guy]

Well, remember how several MTTs came out of that one landing craft in TPM, so it is possible.

 

The best part is though, you can fit troops into the ATATs, then you can put them into barges. Or better yet, you can put troops into Mech Destroyers, THEN put the Mech Destroyers into the Assuault mechs, THEN put the assault mechs into the transports. Yout then have an entire army in 1 transport.

 

At least, i think that works. I haven't tried fitting that many units in one before.

[Zygomaticus]

thats pretty silly

i think they should have made the at-ats water movable

otherwise at least make at at helicopter transports:D

 

but fitting 5 into a transport is like fitting 5 elephants into a car

[Guest PhantomMenace]

Dont forget that AT-AT's are walkers. It is quite possible that they can squat or sit down and fold their legs for transport.. a sort of carrying configuration so it makes since that they could be folded down into a lander thean let out. Also the transports are about the only units are relatively waaaay out of proportion. THe rebel transport from the movie was humongous but look at the size of it in the game. Still i aint complainin about a thing in this game...except i do see the swirling blue line on my shields i see the yellow line...anyone else see this...am i seeing things?

Also if they only let you put say one or 2 walker's into a transport, the imps would be at a great disadvatage!

 

A few of the races have smallers assalte mechs that would seem ok to fit 5 into a shuttle. So if the imps could only put 1 or 2 into a shuttle at a time, it would cause big game ballance problems.

[SouthernAger]

Tie Guy, no, that wont work. Even if you put units into an AT-AT, then load it in the transport, it still counts them all. Like on AoC, if you put 4 guys in a ram, then load it onto a transport, it will count as 5 units on board. This keeps everything fair.
