Re: ATAT vs Speeders

[The Saint]

They did it with Lasers

 

 

Laser cannons on a starfighter are more powerful than on the converted civilian airspeeders.

[Megajames]

the speeders had baster cannons, x-wings have laser

[MastaSpoofa]

theres a difference between blaster cannons and laser cannons, Xwings have laser, Speeders have blaster. Blasters are weaker.

[Darksythe]

IMO AT-AT's cannot be beaten if thier standing still witha tow cable around them, tahts why its not a garunteed sucess, i think in the game if the AT-AT isnt moving your got 0% of geting the AT-AT down now if its moving thats another thing, apart from that its nearly invunrable most things apart from realy heavy guns etc.

 

I hope its also baised like this in the full version. The Tow cable is primerly a trip cable in how it works with AT-AT'S if the AT-AT dosnt move then he cant trip lol, simple realy.

[shadowsfm]

wouldnt the cable still be around them when they start moving again?

[Teradyn_pff]

That is questionable.  If the AT-AT wasn't moving the cable would eventually fall down to the ground like a pair of pants that are way too big with no belt.  It was a Tow Cable so it wouldn't have any connectors along its length to hold it in place.

[sithwolf]

the stupid thing about the speeder v the at-at is that as soon as the at-at is down the speeder shoots the neck area and it blows up.

 

why not just shoot between the neck in the first place?

[Darksythe]

because the neck is the connection to the bridge of the AT-AT and it being bent so heavy moves the armor playting and the AT-AT develops a gap between  armor plating allowing Heavy Blaster fire or which ever to penetrate and dmg the AT-AT seeing that the tunnal connection is completly cracked, or thats my theory.

[Relentless]

My theory is that the impact the AT-AT's head suffers when it trips causes the shields to go down.

[shadowsfm]

or when its standing, the pilots are smart and angle its head to pertect the neck

[Megajames]

My theory is that the impact the AT-AT's head suffers when it trips causes the shields to go down.

um, AT-AT don't have shilds

[Siddus]

What I can say from eaw-fr full version :

 

AT-ATs can destroys Speeders quite easily . More, Veers's AT-AT can oneshot (or in two times) a speeder with the special fire ;p

IA in this version only used lasers against my AT-AT

[Relentless]

um, AT-AT don't have shilds

 

Well...then....they crack the armor... in an unnoticeable way... ;D

 

I like the one-shot ability.

ummmmm all the ATATs should be able to destroy speeders in one shot, unless it's like a near hit or something like on luke's speeder in ESB

[Xenomorphine]

Allegedly... But you can clearly see from the speeder's point of view, in one scene, that the laser fire 'hits' air and impacts a slight distance away from the hull of the machine.

[kingdark]

i thought it is not possible yet to train more units on ground with the demo? and that new units auto spawn?

[shadowsfm]

yeah, isd spawns ties and bombers

space stations spawn ships

home one spawn x-wings and y-wings

barricks spawn infintry

light factory spawn light tanks

and so on

[kingdark]

thats a shame realy i wanted to exterminate the invaders with my troops i trained.

but i am happy that in the full version you can tran whatever you want when groundbattleing

[shadowsfm]

only in skirmage

[kingdark]

you sure? it would suprise me if you would not be able to train troops in the campaign

[shadowsfm]

only on the galactic map

This is essentially correct. The Airspeeder's "tow cable" is more properly called a "trip cable" in the context of attacking an AT-AT. If the AT-AT is stationary, it cannot be tripped by the cable and the cable will fall harmlessly to the ground.
