Tank Buster

I have to agree with Droid. Sure it's horrible and all but it doesn't affect me, so I simply don't care. w00t for being pragmatic Uhh... What? You make it sound like NOT having money actually would save you from this theoretical lion. Besides, what are the odds that your going to run into a lion or any other large dangerous animal anyway? We live in world where most of us humans don't need to worry about things like that. We need to worry about surviving in our own human world and that means having money.

Mine isn't until the 15th of april

HOAX! It's sounds pretty damn fake to me, and those sources in support of chemtrails are shit. Wikipedia ain't all that great but it's better than those.

empty bravado methinks :

I think we ought to cut out the petro part. As much as we like petroglyph, with an official forum up and running at PF this place is basically useless. It's a ghost town. There are numerous small fourms that nobody knows about and it's the lucky forums that have something like game devs or strong modding communities to keep them alive and make them popular. Survival of the fittest, we've been out competed, we're going extinct.

and notice how it showed blaster scorches all over the sand crawler way above the height of any jawa. :

yes they do. Bumbling morons who are only slightly less stupid than the rebel troopers. And are easily killed by princess leia's tiny blaster pistol.

if e-woks can kill storm troopers then we could certainly kill them I'm sorry but when it comes to canon Movies > Books

Even on full auto it's rather slow compared to our guns. And they still fight with napoleonic tactics too, easy win for us. Couple of flash bangs into the midst of them and hop in with MP-5s and take em out. If they hadn't already been killed by snipers, that is.

yeah I know, tis called plot devices. However when it comes to star wars canon the movies come first, for better or worse.... :-\ Putting plot devices aside they're still wearing stark white armor. And their guns still fire really slow. Our bullets would still penetrate thier armor. If not with one shots then we'll fill them full of enough holes especially cause our snipers could find them real easy. And storm troopers probably don't see much due to thier helmets.

storm troopers: -white armor, They'll stick out like a sore thumb. -slow firing guns -dumb -die from anything more serious than a paper cut kinda obvious really :

pfffttt.... duh! of course a SSD would smash us but that's not the point. We couldn't touch their star destroyers or anything up there in space simply because we don't have the technology to fight them up there. We haven't even put ourselves on the closest planet to earth yet. We're not even close to coming up with space suited weapons either. It's a whole new book, space warefare.

I think they did want to bombard it. Remember how vader killed off that first admiral because he blundred the fleet to close or far or something like that, and they lost the element of suprise so the rebels were able to get thier sheild up in time before they could bombard it. And I think they did have ground artillery with them. remember that the task force was specifically looking for the rebel base with means to destroy it.

do they even have artillery? The only Imperial artillery I know of is the one in EAW. Which had a range of like 200 feet : I think that the Imperial army doesn't have much use of ground based moblie artillery because their artillery support comes from orbital bombardment from capital ships and whatnot. However the Imperial army won't always have the support of star destroyer over their heads so it's safe to assume that the imperial army does indeed have artillery pieces. And who's to say we'd have lines? the key of modern warfare is mobility. Sit in one place too long or move too slowly and your toasted by artillery or aircraft. One thing I don't like much when it comes to star wars is that the manner of warfare is fairly unrealistic. They have all of these advanced weapons and yet: They sill use Napoleonic style tactics. In the prequels they march around in lines and columns while shooting at each other. Incredously they're doing it with automatic weapons and tanks too. Sheer nonsense. We don't get to see a lot of ground action in 4-6, but the battle of hoth was remiscent of WWI with trenches and everything. And if the Imperial army does indeed have artillery why then did they not utilize it at hoth? They obviously wanted to bombard the base from orbit but they couldn't do it because of the planetary sheild. So how did the walkers get down there in the first place? I will assume for a moment that perhaps the shield will protect the rebels from laser energy but not solid objects but then it would be a simple task of using a atmosphere capable ship like a Victory class destroyer to go through the shield then bombard them. And even if they didn't have any Victory destroyers, then you just deploy bomber squadrons to bomb the base. Also Notice how slowly thier guns fire. Especially in 4-6 the small arms have a real slow rate of fire.

where the hell did that quote come from? That sounds outrageous an ATAT making 60 km/h... actually how fast is 60 km/h? I don't use metric system much, one moment.... That's about 37mph. Oh that's not so fast. It still sounds faster than an ATAT ought to able to go but an M1 Abram's top speed is about 70mph. The new automated mobile howitzers were starting to build now can make about that much too. So if you were on foot or on rollar skates then I guess an ATAT could outrun you. : We still have them beat in range too. Our howitzers have a range of 30 something miles, and even our older ones from the Gulf War still have a 25 mile range. An M1 Abram(depending on the round fired) has a maximun range of 7.5 miles or roughly 12 km. Beating the ATAT's range of 5 miles. Soon I shall post my battle scenario. I'm still working on it.
