Well modern sub launched torpedoes are kinda like that; Once the wires connecting it to the fire control computer are severed they go after whatever is most similar to the target signature last detected by their own active Sonar arrays and even circling around if it misses.

I love the Imperial Navy. The scale of the ships is truly bananas. A Luna class Cruiser clocks in at about 5 km long. An Imperial Class Star Destroyer is only 1.6 km, which is about the size of a Sword class escort frigate.

@KT-pv3kl 2 года назад

Its actually larger than that. The 5km figure comes from the erroneous assumption that all models for the Battlefleet Gothic Tabletop game are uniformly scaled. They are however progressively scaled meaning escorts and smaller vessels are usually oversized while the bigger ships are smaller for practical reasons. Otherwise a destroyer would barely be visible on the table while a battleship would be so large that moving it around becomes akward. The true size of a lunar is round about 6-6,5km depending on wether you count the prow ram/nova cannon towards the total lenght

The scale of ship weaponry and shielding in Star Wars is still larger though, which is an interesting aspect despite having such a smaller size to 40k design in the lore. In the lore of the EU, three ISDs using purely their standard turbolaser fire can melt the surfaces of planets in hours.

Unironically one of the Imperial Navy greatest strengths is its diversity. So many active ship classes,comes in so many modifications,patterns,weapon types. Makes them really unpredictable. They would have a field day against uniformed fleets so common in Star Wars. Add in Mechanicus and Marine squadrons and they almost unstopable.

@alganhar1 2 года назад

That lack of uniformity however is a stone cold BITCH for Logistics, because you are supplying god knows how many different types and weights of ordinance. There is a reason for example that the USN in WWII stuck to 6 inch and 8 inch guns for its light and heavy cruisers respectively even after the Naval Treaties fell apart. The same with the Royal Navy who discarded the planned 9.2 inch ships after the collapse of the treaty primarily to simplify logistics for the Heavy Cruisers it planned (though did not end up building). It is also part of the reason you saw the USN and RN especially move to Dual Purpose secondary guns for their capital ships secondary armaments and their Destroyers Primary armaments. Dual Purpose guns may not be quite as good in the AA or anti surface role as specialised guns, but switching to DP guns meant you could have twice the fitted firepower against each threat and you used a common ammunition size. Compare that to say the Germans who used a mixed battery for their secondaries of 88's for the AA role and 120's for the anti surface role. The Imperial Navy is a logisticians fucking nightmare!!!

@bkane573 2 года назад

Assuming both galaxies merged, the imperium smashes everythjg in Star Wars except maybe the Galactic Empire. The Galactic was built purpose built to fight the incoming extragalactic threat of the Yuzzhan Vong. As such it is not tooled correctly to fight the imperium of man, but it might to very well. First, because it prioritizes standardization it’s logistics train is much better. Likewise, FTL is much more reliable, and ships, from fighters on up are more maneuverable. At the start of combat, Imperial ships would have an advantage due to the weapons forwards design, vs the broadside style of the imperium. The Galactic Empire could also rapidly redesign their fleet, in comparison to the Inperium due to reliable communication. It would be an interesting fight.

@myduckisonqauck7227 2 года назад

Imperial navy: 25,000 imperial 1 star destroyers, 1.5-40 million smaller warships(based off sector groups), 50+dreadnoughts(around 26 of which are executer classes), a sovereign class(continent/small moon busting laser), two eclipses(continent/small moon), over 288,000 other star destroyers/similar sized ships, sun crusher(star buster, that tanked a death stat laser), 2 death stars, an extra death star prototype with a functional laser, 2 death star sized habitation spheres, a galaxy gun(snipe planets and ships from across the galaxy), metal crystal phase shifters(bypass shields to weaken hull integrity), the tarken,(planet buster), the conqueror(continent/small moon cracking super laser) and dozens of world devastators(can rip apart planets with tractor beam projectors, while tanking shots from capital ships. Can collect materials to upgrade/grow, and even create new world devastators). There was a plan to include super class star destroyers(8km) in many of the empires sectors. That is potentially 100s. There was also the assertor class(15km), bellator(7km), and mandator III(12km). Imperial army: 10s of trillions(Rebellion era campaign guide) Stormtrooper corps: 100s of millions-billions CompForce: 100s of billions(2nd edition sourcebook) Tanks/repulsorcraft: 2-9 Trillion Walkers: 10s of millions Territory: over a million, and a half full member worlds(rebellion era campaign guide,and 2nd edition source book) , and 5-70+ million colonies(Essential atlas), vessels, and protectorates. Han solo stated to Luke they would have to search six million inhabited systems, and an old republic comic stated the holonet connected six million worlds. Weapon damage: Turbolasers dish out megatons of energy, while laser cannons in the kilotons. The attack of the clones cross section states 200 gigatons a shot, and 6 megatons a shot but we don't see that, so we treat it as an outlier. Contrary to popular belief star wars shields do protect against projectiles/high velocity attacks. A super star destroyer's shields have tanked rebel cruisers jumping out of hyperspeed, and multi megaton hits from asteroids in an asteroid field. Deflector shields can produce ray shields(Physical/High velocity projectile weapons), and particle shields(energy based weapons). Both the 2nd edition sourcebook, and cross section tell us star destroyers are capable of turning the upper crust of planets into slag which we can believe. Carnor jax states an imperial star destroyer can make stone run like water, and turn sand into glass. Going by the bombardment of caamas, it takes several star destroyers to reduce a planet's surface twice the size of earth to molten slag in under twenty four hours. The E-11 is the equivalent of a 14.5mm round with enough heat to punch through a lightly armored or unarmored opponent, and in a new hope it vaporizes steel bars. The DLT-19 was capable of taking down lightly armored vehicles. The T-21 light repeating blaster fires the plasma bolt equivalent of a 22.5-30mm bullet from a guass rifle. Mercenaries using light blaster cannons shot through 4 inches of plasteel. T-21

@@bkane573 The colony: Killik species: A telepathic hive mind of arthropods that could make others join their nests through auras(Heat,electric,magnetic,and chemical). It takes up to several months to become a full joiner for non insect species. They could be longer than 50 meters long(10 meters high), to human size, to as big as a wookie, knee high, thumb size, to as small as a mite at less than an inch long. The kolosolok's could reflect maser canons, with it's chitin, and when penetrated the walking tanks did not notice. Keep in mind normal charric blasters easily penetrate ceramic armors, with enough force to knock a lightsaber out the hand of a jedi. Despite their size the kolosoks were actually faster than smaller killiks, who had trouble keeping up with them. Thumbnail sized joojs formed large swarms, that injected flesh dissolving venom, which made those bitten feel as if their on fire. Some nests were airborne, others able to dig under enemy fortifications, and move boulders. Some could leap over fortifications, and trees. Once a joiner, the person's memories and knowledge are one with the nest. A single female could lay a thousand eggs in a month. Those eggs become ready for combat in a year, and then reproductives in 2 more years. Most killiks are female(fertile), and males only leave the nest to create new nests. A nest represented a single person, although killiks did have a seperate weak individual mind. They can be heavily influenced by large amounts of joiners. Force users are especially influential, and completely change the nature of nests. With enough normal joiners a nest can turn into warriors, cowards, nomads, pacifists, exct. Nests can also amp force users, putting the likes of Raynor, and Lomi on par with Luke skywalker. Welk was a match for jedi master Saba. Raynor could even use the force to reflect turbolaser shots. Nests: 375 Navy: They were capable of making fifteen nest ships(8km), dozens of shard capital ships(1.5-10km), and a hundred and fifty thousand dart ships(With just 4 nests) in a year. By the time of the battle of tenupe, they amassed around a million dartships. Additionally there were five blastbaots, a victory class star destroyer, dozens of megafreighters, B wings, 127 Slayn&Korpil transports, and a lancer class frigate. The great swarm: 7,000,000- 3.3 billion Overall population: Trillions Territory: Systems- 6+ Planets/moons- 25+ Membrosia: A alcoholic substance created by killik membrosia givers. Gold membrosia- Simple nourishment, and intoxication Black membrosia- Stronger, and more addictive, especially to other insect species. White membrosia- Healing, and strength Weapons: Electrobolt assault rifles- Fired shots of electrical energy, for stunning targets. Takes four bolts to kill. Tridents Shatter guns- Magnetically accelerated slug throwers Shatter rifles Thermal detonators Repeating blaster cannons Blaster rifles Concussion missiles Mag cannons(rail gun artillery) Catapults(Boulders, and hanpat incendiary) Trebuchets(Boulders, and hanpat incendiary) Naval weapons/Armor: Turbolasers Flak cannons Laser cannons Proton torpedos Spitcrete heat sinks Deflector shields Dart ships: Dart ships are mostly kamikaze fighters. They either used methane rockets, hydrogen rockets, or ion drives. The ones not laced with explosives, are armed with a turbolaser. Dark jedi: Welk, Alema, and Lomi Jedi: Jaina, Raynor, Lowbaka, Zekk, Tesar, Tihiri Allies: Dozens of pirates/smugglers, and a flotilla of priate ships. Black membrosia addicts/Insect species volunteers- Geonosians, verpine, Hukk, Snutib, fefze, flakax, and vlatix. Growth: To put their rate of growth in perspective, if they had the resources, and wanted to their military forces alone could reach 13 trillion members/650 million nests with a navy of 40 million capital ships, and over a 100 billion dart ships in two decades(Assuming the great swarm had a population at just 7,500,000). Jacen solo had a vision of the killiks causing the downfall of the galaxy, which is consistent with the math.

While lacking feats, it is powerful enough to burn through/penetrate the plastoid armor of a phase 2 clone trooper, which if like stormtrooper armor takes a 20cal bullet to fully penetrate. B1 battle droids are cannon fodder relying on swarm tactics that go down from a single blaster bolt. The BX commando droid was more resilient, being able to tank 1-3 blaster bolts. It is fast, and agile enough to take down multiple clones, with it's vibroblade, and throw them around like rag dolls. It sometimes carried a personal energy shield. The B2 super battle droid was also capable of tanking 1-3 blaster bolts, and was equipped with more powerful dual, fully automatic arm mounted laser cannons(sometimes armed with wrist rockets). B2 rocket trooper were equipped with jet packs. The B2-HA came with an arm cannon that could fired warheads or homing torpedoes. Missile launchers include the E-60R. The chameleon droid utilizes a holographic camouflage, frag mines, and three laser cannons. Droidekas were armed with two twin blaster cannons and a deflector shield. There was also the crab droid, dwarf spider droid, tactical droid, super tactical droid, B2 grapple droid, HKB-3 hunter killer droids, LR-57 combat droid, heavy super battle droids, mortar super battle droids, repeater super battle droids, A-DSD advanced dwarf spider droids, OOM series battle droids(Command ship controlled), aqua droid, SD-K4 assassin droid, t4 turret droids, skorpenek annihilator, E4 Baron droid, cold assault battle droid, D-60 assault droid, HK-77 assassin droid and A series assassin droids among others. Naval damage: Their point defense ion cannons and lasers, dealt 4.8 kilotons(ROTSCS)of heat, while turbolasers deal megatons of damage. A munificent frigate can destroy a 1,000km ice moon, and grievous's fleet is capable of slagging a planet's upper crust within an hour. Vehicles/droid vehicles: Hailfire droid is vulnerable to infantry, drives 45M an hour, and armed with thirty anti-armor heat seeking missiles, and an auto-blaster. The armored assault tank's heavy laser cannon has a blast range of 3 meters, is armed with two repeating blaster cannons, 2 light blaster cannons, and 6 energized projectile launchers. There's the octuptarra combat tri droid, octuptarra tri droid, and octuptarra magna tri droid armed with missiles, laser cannons, laser turrets, and rockets. Others include the NR-N99 droid enforcer, OG-9 homing spider droid, Multi troop transport, platoon attack craft, and HMP gunship. The protodeka was a large Repulsor tank armed with rapid firing light turbolasers, rapid fire heat seeking missiles, and a seismic wave emitter with a range of 10 meters. The FLTCH battle droids were over two meters tall, and armed with a double laser cannon, rockets, blades, and claws. The B3 Ultra battle droid was a bulkier, towering B2 battle droid armed with a flamethrower, rockets, rapid fire blaster cannons, and plasma cannons. It addition, it had a density projector, stopping it from being knocked down in combat. The mark II droideka was armed with a triple blaster cannon, twin blaster cannons, and twin ion cannons. It had deflector shields, which deactivated when on the move.

@BlueSpartan2 2 года назад

My headcannon solution to the whole inconsistency thing in space combat can be summarize as "what range are they engaging at?". If ships are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers apart basically taking the idea of a potshot and turning it into a military doctrine, then it makes perfect sense for space battle to take forever. On the other hand, take the opening picture of the episode, that doesn't look like thousands of kilometers apart, that doesn't even look like 100 kilometers. At that range the question is no longer "Will it hit?" and becomes "How much can I shoot?". Missile salvos turn from crapshoot deterents to semi-reliable direct fire weapons, while most weapons become damn near certain to hit irregardless or how much the enemy might want to dodge. At this range, it becomes more about how much punishment in the short term a ship can take before cracking rather than long term durability. Repair crews don't mean much when you have maybe a few minutes between engagement and your ship being turned into half melted swiss cheese.

The Imperial Navy is actually pretty effective, with the torpedoes followed by broadsides which is pretty good against a lot of factions.

The only cool 40k Naval battle i can recall in my head is when Ragnar Blackmane was up against 2 choas ships and ordered the ship's captain to bait one in front of them, they then rammed it in half and escaped into the Warp. The only reason i remember that is because the next scene, his Wolf Lord is looking at the state of his ship, barely holding itself together, saying "Ragnar. What the bloody hell have you done to my ship?"

By the time it is back in wolf controlled space it is so damaged it needed to be towed back to a shipyard for months of refitting work. Also said ship is kinda pricy since if i recall its one of the few ships the Space Wolves have that had a Nova Cannon which can one-shot anything but it seriously kicks the shit out if the ships structural integrity and power supply because it was designed orginally to be mounted on a much bigger ship than an astartes battle cruiser.

Arch. The galaxy, at the time of GW creating 40k, has a volume of roughly 8x10¹² ly³. The volume of a sector is 8x10⁶. There could be a maximum of 1 million sectors in the galaxy. The Imperium also spans across a million worlds. A sector could easily have tens to hundreds of inhabited worlds in each sector. Further a Battlefleet has 50 to 75 ships in it ranging from destroyers and frigates up to battleships. This could give us a theoretical maximum of 50 to 75 million ships of all classes but is likely up to 2 OoM less, that being 500 to 750 thousand ships.

Alright so here's a thought of how a cruiser would engage an enemy depending on the target's size; 1. Use torpedoes as area denial to force the enemy into a disadvantageous path or position (e.i. a head-on or broadside) 2. Broadside/head on salvo the target so hard the Emprah feels a tickle 3. If the target is by some miracle still space-worthy after that, send Astartes boarding ships after the target once the salvo is over and it has passed out of targeting range of the main guns, hopefully finishing it off. Ideally the boarding parties aren't needed if the ship's captain plays their cards right and manages to destroy the target quickly and decisively, as per Imperium Naval Doctrine. Boarding parties should therefore only be used as a finishing blow to the enemy vessel, or otherwise used if the intent is to capture the ship for some purpose.

Hypothetically tactically a space battle would begin with finding the target, this would involve flights of fighter craft conducting search patterns, probably in a spiral pattern, a small army of analyst to tell you what your actually looking at, and whether of not you should run away. The next phase naturally would be focused on defense, to make sure you actually have an opportunity to have a decisive engagement. This could be interlocking firing arcs, tactical withdrawals to lure targets on to unfavorable terrain, sudden and aggressive assaults with expressed intent to compromise those firing arcs, may be the use of bait to lure targets, or any combination of them. Then comes the problem of disrupting the enemy fleet you would need some way to disrupt their sensors , their commanders attention and expectation, their coordination or even guiding where their even aiming. Then there is the actual problem of striking for effect, because you want to be causing a domino effect that improves your control of the situation. Shielding will have to be overloaded or by passed either through super charged weapons just for the expressed purpose to crack the shields or by slow moving weapons like topedos. Armor would have to be mapped out to where the weakest points are. Followed by surgical strikes against targets that will cause a cascade failure or will cripple the ship, or will bring the captain to the negotiation table. Because at the end of the day war is about two things politics and survival .

@Qver-gd9bg 2 года назад

Also on thing to consider is that not all of those million plus ships are combat ready. There will be damage to them, there will be different amount of damage to them from lite scratching of the paintjob to missing half of the ship. You generally dont send wounded ship to battle unless its for stop gap measure among huge fleet, so those ships can be on repair dock... when ever they get there due warp and how fast they can limp there that is and these repairs can take from days to millennia depending again amount of damage and what kind of ship we are talking about. Pretty new destroyer being missing half of its hull.. well its tough job but can be repaired relatively fast back into combat as in few decades or more, where as Gloriana class battleship from dark age of technology missing half of its hull... that thing will be there millenia or two pretty much minimum, since mechanicus needs to first open every inspection hatch, that takes least months, then analyze all the damage, then try and figure out what those molten balls of slag use to be, specially since they might not even know what those are for anymore even if not turned into slag and then start to experiment on replacing those things they might not know about with stuff they know somethings, also taking into consideration no one Gloriana is same and the next. Millenias of retrofits, patch work repairs on and off the battle etc tends to turn any ship into nothing like base model was, even more if some of it has not been documented properly since techpriest in question holding that data got vented to void in particularly destructive enemy salvo, or data server holding that information was turned into slag in previous battle, but lets say ship has nothing major like experimental dark age tech jammed in from witch adapts know about much as press this button, it targets the enemy and press this to remove said enemy. By installing parts they do have at hand and can manufacture, they now start looking peaces to bolt in and also starting to figure out where said bolt holes are suppose to be, based on scans from other such ships that might be far different, but somewhat same layout. Alright now we have this thing that was on the other ship, least it looks like the same, ou this whats left of previous data cable looks the same, but connector is different, ou well lets keep looking and after while of negotiations between forge worlds right component can be arranged to be delivered or plans for one be transferred between forge worlds. Great now where the hell this next puzzle peace goes or is this even right peace... is this even from same puzzle? Well the plug seems to fit to this thing in torpedo room and it makes sounds when plugged, prase the omnissiah! They now have successfully installed and powered waste water treatment pod into torpedo room, where it most definitely belongs, just need to route one of these yellow pipes to here and red one here since those are same color as in component and half of those pipes are missing... hey why did fresh water supply output double? It must mean we did please machine spirit and omnissiah and his showing it by increasing freshwater out put! Job well done, now to plash the thing with holy oils and say prayers of inspection hatch closure for this one. Also why ammo feeding system tries to spew thousands of rounds of the point defense turret ammo from two feeders into this machine when we replaced this... i think that is fuse? Lets see here, ah here is one feeder...This is bit radical, but lets make Y joint here that dangles over and against the water treatment equipment, potentially taking out someones head if they are not careful... alright praise omnissiah point defense turret is operational again! Wait... why it is firing mix of AP and fragmentation ammo and ammo type selector is not working? I...We must have angered the machine spirit! Get me the holy oils! ALL OF THEM! After trial and error ship is back together with few less adepts that were triad for tech heresy and bit less original it was and this keeps happening time after time after time, hence why need for such absurd amount of ships... its cause repairing one is really time consuming and difficult even more so older the ship is, so maybe 10% of the total Imperial navy at one time is on repair dock, most of them ship of the line battle cruisers and battleships of old that took serious damage during some major engagement. This is also why after major event like destruction of tyranid hive fleet, it takes long ass time for Imperial navy to recuperate losses and damages. Also why they are constantly balancing on knifes edge to have just enough shit to throw at the current problem and why heavy hitters like Glorianas are kept in rear instead of utilizing their massive firepower in front line brawling, since loss of such ship would be devastating and fixing her... well as you is bit of a hassle.

@irontemplar6222 2 года назад

Excellent video arch. While that is at least supposedly a large navy. There is three things I wish to point out. 1. That massive swaths of the galaxy are classified as wild sectors. Thus no true imperial forces or administration. Further it appears that GW closer assumes there are only hundreds of sector rather the thousands or tens of thousands. 2. While impressive in sheer size. The truth is those ships can only be so many places at once, and in truth the majority of said ships would not be available for mobilization far beyond their current star sector. Without opening up some pretty massive holes. Not to mention the logistics of moving one fleet from one place to another, or even if the sector they are heading to is prepared to handle the fuel, and maintenance capacity needed. 3. Yes it is referring to capital class vessels, but it should be noted that the imperium still counts its destroyers (The smallest ship in the fleet) as capital vessels, and most smaller escorts would not be capable of warp travel save perhaps by FAC deployment from a large carrier if they happen to be small enough to fit inside of a 40k ship. However given the seeming lack of corvette class vessels I think its safe to say they don't. And going to its victoran/age of sail roots. It seems the Imperial navy often relies on the much larger, but less well equipped (supposedly) merchant navy to pad out its forces whenever necessary.
