10 Features that made the LAAT GUNSHIP the BEST Transport in Star Wars 

Evan Butler I know a laat isn't something that can really be made irl, but can an atte?

@@BizarreSmalls they did make it irl... For the movie. But can we make 1 as combat capable as how it's portrayed in the Stat Wars universe? No. We can't even produce the armor alloy used. To make 1 with similar ballistic defense using current metals would make just it's armor meters thick and too heavy. We don't have a dense enough power source. We don't have repulsor tech. And I don't have to point out our military doesn't even use energy weapons yet.

@@BizarreSmalls yes, but it would be plugged in.

No one uses the side ball turrets in the animated series

Yeah why is that?

The negotiations were short.

This is another similarity with the uh-60, for the assault on Osama Bin Laden's compound, a stealth version on the uh-60 was used

That was a pretty good joke.

Good one

It's like Trump's idea of what a stealth fighter is. To him, stealth fighters are invisible.

Considering that my dad told a bunch of Marines to not mess with a deadly scorpion and then they went out and caught some of the ones he told them to not mess with. They probably would and wouldn’t think twice about it. And yes the scorpions were fine. When they showed them to my dad he just told them to let it go and don’t worry about it.

Daniel Dude take your own advice. I didn’t ask you to comment on me showing how marines are thrill seekers.

You get tgat from Call Of Duty

I was just about to say that.

Mmmmm,dat sound

@stockart whiteman I disagree with you on the idea that the clones are quick to produce. It took 9-10 years to grow a clone trooper. If they enlisted civilians it would only take a few months to train them, and only a few years to train special forces.

The Republic had more money. The Empire wasted a whole metric fuckton on their stupid Death Stars. Besides, the empire wasn't fighting an all out war anymore. From their perspective, they were just supressing rebels, Don't really need tanks and gun ships for that, you're almost never going to fight a real battle on the ground.

@@jaylynabrams9564 thats not what he's saying. Humans: 18-25 yrs to become full grown and then be trained. Clones: 9-10 yrs fully grown and trained. not to mention clones soldiers would be of higher quality then conscripted soldiers from the standing population and cloneing provided a steady flow of soldiers (ready and willing to fight) instead of relying on the civilian population to volunteer or be drafted(look to vietnam for how draftees felt).

@@jaylynabrams9564 to simplify my previous answer. From birth to fighting ready clone soldier production was far faster and more steady than taking the civilian populous to go from from birth to fight ready. Thats why clones are relatively quick to profuce

@@violet_skrs while they grow more quickly, before they are ready to be deployed they are burden for government as need to pay for all that time while conscripts are more or less free, as their "maintenance costs" before being drafted are on side of conscript and his family

Not just me then :)

Now I see it to. Dang it.

Fuck my service, the military is being used to do evil around the world.

We held Geonosis

I hate sand. It's course, irritating, and it gets everywhere.

@@adambielen8996 ; The clones learned that the hard way after Geonosis.

@@adambielen8996 I'll try spinning that's a good trick

It's based on the HIND as well which is by definition a tried and true gunship

It's like you think it was impressive even though it doesn't really exist.

IKR

After hearing his Marine space shuttle door gunner comment, I’m half convinced he did at least one enlistment. Add that to using (mostly) correct military terms.

Its important to have a real world comparison as far as function goes. The laat gunship is the work horse of the Republic forces without it, they may have to rely on at least 3 different designs to make up for it which would severely effect the flexibility of the clone army.

@@michaelmims5730 as a Marine I can confirm we had ideas similar to what he said as one of our bs debates on deployment.

@@willwolf8436 same here 😂

Everyone matures at different rates ;)

It wasnt even combat suit

First think i thought of when I saw the MI-24

Even the roles they fill were very similar Carry troops into combat and then support them from the air by destroying enemy infantry and light ground units with its nose and door mounted guns and wing mounted rockets. Then destroying larger heavier ground units with its guided missile system and once the battles all over, picking your guys up and taking them home. If you couldn't tell which one I'm describing its cause it describes both perfectly. Edit: I forgot to mention, they're both incredibly fast for their class of helicopter. LAAT: 620Km/H Mi-24: 350Km/H (not counting the Mi-PSV)

@Kristopher Shafer Agreed, I also think his sacrifice wasn't that relevant, sure an ex-FO dude dies for the Rebellion, but TLJ happened a day after TFA and because of that I just didn't care, you have old trilogy and prequels doing the opposite, they had the characters doing stuff and having adventures between movies, but not the sequels * *_sighs_* * damn Ruin Johnson and Kennedy.

So many Rebels pull that self sacrifice garbage, it's cliche at this point. He should have tried only to get eviscerated by the lazer.

@Kristopher Shafer Finn death should of been there. I mean the M6 were told to destroy the speeder. As soon as finn gets close they stop, even after Rose crashed into them they were so close to the FO line. To a point where FO troops or vehicles could have opened fire.

The prequel vehicles were much better thought out than the OT ones because the original trilogy was made very ad hoc. It wasn't originally meant to make sense and when it expanded internal consistency became increasingly important.

dont forget bipolar character that see someone kill another person they have a bond with ( han solo) and turn around and ally with the killer ( kylo ren)

Same.

Let’s just hope your not going to be the rescue party in a sink hole made by a electric bomb Like if you understand

@@dustinbarrow6924 haha totally, "it's one of the worst day in the republic"

@@ff1511 Yes. Or an AT-RT. It would be good to ride - or rather sprint - to the supermarket.😉

I showed my 5 year old stepson the scene where the clones attack the arena with Yoda. He near shit his pants.

Lol one second later they all dead

I always think of that when the scene comes on somewhere

10 features aren't sufficient to describe the greatness of this vehicle

Exactly

It’s awesome

Parminder Singh it saddens me you didnt even quote that right

What about the fact it used wheels and had to be used in flat open terrain

I thought there was at least one episode of the Clone Wars that was pretty much this.

@@jlokison I think it was the episode called "Landing at Point Rain". Obi-Wan's and several others LAATs were shot down during the second invasion of Genosis.

@@AdmiralOfGaming i thought that episode was centered more like the battle of pointe du Hoc then black hawk down

No. I don't want that to be a diluted kids movie.

Would love to see a sw version of Full Metal Jacket.

Prequels > Originals

true

@@latervader8876 true

Rebels>Clone Wars

This aint it chief ^

The "Grand Army of the Republic": . At the time, had the Best Soldier of the Galaxy . Large variety of Vehicle/Star-figher & Specializes in some role (+ customizable) . Huge number of Spec-Ops, Thousands of them ( ARC trooper, Clone Commando, ... ) . Have great use of Artillery Support ( few Army in Star War forcus on this ) . Manage to fight Against the CIS Droid Army . (and more)

Palpating was a fool to slowly retire clones and cut costs to military equipment after the formation of the Empire even for his reasons... Change my mind.... Oh wait you can’t..

Palpatine held back separatist droid technology, droids far outclased the clones

@@exspiravit3335 unless there was. More powerful person controlling palpitine and this war 😂

Brett Bush darth jar jar confirmed???

Oryx TheMad God me too, one of my proudest possessions from when I was a kid.

@@il6yr8 mine is the 2009 version i think. The biggest lego variant.

Nice, mine was the 7675 AT-TE Walker set that was released in 2008 but discontinued in 2010. Luckily I was able to get one for my birthday 😁😁 around that time.

@@il6yr8 great set as well.

i have both the troop transport kind, and the ATTE transport kind as well as an ATTE

Both we're my childhood

It's phase not faze

Black Hawk Down and V For Vendetta were the movies that defined my late teenage years.

THANKS. I was like whaaaaaa?

Like nails on a chalkboard! I was like, whaaaat did he say lol!!!

I had a siroskies the other night after eating half cooked fish.

This almost made me click off. Glad I didn't, good content.

no, it's definitely sriracha. helicopter designers are delicious.

Cost

It was too synonymous with the republic and their image.

Another situation. Empire made more "peacekeeping" forces. Clasic war is over. Production capacity - Rothana and KUat make new types of vehicals for Empire. And even one fact, no AT TE to cooperate.

Or how about 10 flaws of the arc170?!

Peter Yim what flaws?

@@ascentgames5008 ANY 10!

@Peter Yim Good luck to him finding those.

@@iforgotwhyimhere2354 fine

The TX-130?

@@AnakinSkywakka yes that thing

Agreed

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO WITH THOSE ROCKETS, MARINE!

Num

Ahhh... Umbara, the Star Wars Vietnam

No... felucia is Vietnam if you played battlefront 2 and you aren't wrong about it being a Huey

I still say its closer to a ch-53 than a Huey, both in size and function

get some!

... or "Everything Wrong with Generation Tech", which will came first ??

@@mr.bluefox3511 its treason then

But theres nothing wrong with generation tech

I think "Everything Awesome" about Generation Tech would be more appropriate! Though I am wondering if British Ben has been lost to an dolphin attack? Fracking cetaceans!

The Arc is very heavy and bad in Dogfights against faster Ships.Only good thing the Arc-170 can drop bombs and is useful without Carrier.

That's kinda debatable. I love both those ships, but I'm not sure an arc170 could out dogfight a tri. Those things are tiny, all black, can handle higher g's, are very well armed, much faster, and their weaponry is very narrowly focused so all your guns are actually going to be hitting in just about the same spot. The tri reminds me of the vipers from Battlestar Galactica.

Droid Tri-Fighter... Yes its fast and small. But Arc have 4 laser canons, proton torpedoes, back-seat turret, hyperdrive, heavy armor and if i remember correctly its own shielding ( correct me if i am uncorrect ) Tri fighter can hit arc, but arc will probably be able to take on few morr shots. Meanwhile one small burst out of laser canons from arc could effectively wipe out any tri droid if pilot and co-pilot were good... And in most of time they were.

@@maVRoyal66 pretty sure you're right on the shielding, but dont forget the tri has buzz droid missiles, not to mention 4 laser canons of its own. Like I said I love both of them, the arc kinda looks like a precursor to my fav heavy fighter in sw. The k wing 😍 the a10 of the franchise

@@maVRoyal66 oh but dont forget, those tri fighters were able to keep pace with anakin and obi wan in their jedi fighters, and those things are way more maneuverable than a 170. I'd say if the arc170 and tri were facing off apart from each other then the arc has a very good chance of wiping the floor with the tri. If that tri gets into dogfight range however, that arc is done. In that kind of fight speed and turning is everything.

I just want to be the first comment

@@LEMONSPatusky lol

The LAAT was actually inspired by thr Soviet Mi-24 Hind Soviet helicopter. It serves in both the troop transport and CAS roles with a troop capacity of 8 and heavy armor aswell as a nose mounted machine gun to eliminate those in its path. To my knowledge the Blackhawk and it's variants is the closest thing the US or any nation has to the role of the Hind since most designs lean more into one role or the other. Thank you for your service.

Here's one. The weapon is at it's best when created with a crystal that chose it's wielder, and has the right materials. Lightsabers can also be affect by it's user's actions, such as starkiller using Rahm Kota's until he got a crystal that belonged to his father, put it in the lightsaber and made it better. Than later when he became a true rebel he cleaned the weapon's crystals and it was lighter than it was before. Point is the weapon changes depending on what happens to it's wielder, who wields it, and what was put into making it. Meaning non-force users or someone who didn't originally own the blade may not find the weapon's results as satisfying as they wanted.

U mean us or USA?

I think they did and it was the clones

@Gaius Wyrden Clones were best infantry. Let me explain later. Literally have 1% battery

@Gaius Wyrden I think the Mandalorians could take them on for the title of best. There is few things that can Compare to a Mandalorian. One of the reasons Mandalorians were know for taking on Jedi and winning.

@Gaius Wyrden The storm troopers were honestly poor trained and disgusting. The clones would beat a battalion of clones anyday. Give me 2 Reasons that the stormtroopers were the best infantry .Id like to see you try.

They probably were always too late with the reinforcements...... K, ill see myself out

LAAT. Low Altitude Assault Transport

😏

The LAAT of the Muunlist 10 (Fordo’s LAAT) was sooo badass.

40K's Thunderhawk Gunship.

ue8472 I would say the drop ship from aliens takes that mantle

Halo Pelican

40K Thunderhawk Dropship and Stormhawk Gunship. Capable of troops and armor transporting as well as Gunship support and Air to Air fighting

Dew it

>Republic fanboy its just that the newer stuff are more stupid imo, most of republic era clone army are geared towards efficiency, even defects like 99 still serve as maintenance.

If you weren't a big fan of the Republic before, just go look at some war footage from the series. FOR THE REPUBLIC

I mean their equipment and such was the best for war, factions like the Empire was cheaper but massively produced so Quantity over quality

Called it. Knew it was gonna happen. Anyways, I think Allen tries to be unbiased in his videos most of the time - and the information he presents is generally very reliable, coming from specific sources or basic logic/determining skills, or even decently useable Legends sources. Besides, you yourself have to admit that the LAAT/i is an affective design - weapons pack a huge punch and are numerous, very versatile as it can land troops, supplies, or even AT-RTs and speeder bikes, and having what appears to be a pretty hunky, sturdy armor (based on the outward appearance of the damn thing). Juggernaut is arguably generally a better vehicle than the AT-AT - it's a hell of a beast that can move much quicker and has a superior damage output as it is packed with missiles, lasers and whatnot, and has a (get ready) real *thicc* armor. ARC-170 arguably superior to many TIE variants, with it being heavily armed with huge-punch weapons (proton torpedoes and medium laser cannons - these looked/appeared especially powerful in the movies and Clone Wars series), and appears to have heavy armor (appearance-based), and shielding, along with a hyperdrive, astromech droid, and it being a multi-crew. All of these aspects made it a reliable fighter you can count on for general-purposes in space. And of course, there are some design flaws and aspects of each of these vehicles. And the Republic has many other aspects of it that are plagued with issues - the V-19 and V-Wing is literally the equivalent to a TIE/ln fighter, the AT-TE is vulnerable to landmines, the Y-Wing is too big and slow, the DC15S is not as versatile as a good ol' E11, and clones - although individually superior as a military soldier and specimen to the average imperial stormtrooper - are costly, take time to grow an army of them, and occasionally the DNA/genetics of a stormtrooper may be superior to the standard Jango Fett gene (usually however, Jango Fett gene is superior in combat aspects compared to the DNA of most stormtroopers). Also, not afraid of saying it. I am a republic fanboy. I'm also a fanboy of the empire - they're the two official government galactic superpowers in Canon. Maybe CIS can be considered official military-wise (but they were technically a rebellion/resistance, just much better organized). The Resistance, Rebels, and FO are all inferior rebellions.

They have better army anyways

I agree.

Technically, the Hind was basically a heavily armed and armored troop transport, it really wasn't designed as a purpose built attack helo in the same vein as the Cobra and the Apache. On the other hand, it also wasn't a toop transport that could double as a gunship when fitted with extra weapons.

MI-24

Heresy!!!

How dare you suggest the Pelican has flaws!

Arc170. Why do you like the atst

@@90degreesSquare Idk It's iconic Not as much as the AT-AT Or the X-Wing But the fight on Endor Where all the Ewoks used traps to destroy them I really liked that

AtAt, easily tripped but they did the job they needed to. Got the rebels off hoth in empire strikes back.

Mine was the HMP Droid Gunship, the counter to the LAAT (and some Commander Droid YOLO on top of it)

@@jacksonzinn9806 every tank would have. AT-RTs had insane good firepower for their size, were small and cheap, could dodge heavy fire easily (ryloth arc final episode) and take light fire, didn't need huge crews to operate. Also they apparently had mortars and in legend their blasters were repeating (while we don't know in canon they had a really rapid fire
