The V-Wing starfighter was the Republic Navy's answer to the nimble Tri-Droid Fighter, and the droid starfighters in general. Replacing the V-19 Torrent, and going on to be the main starfighter of the Empire, being a bridge to the TIE Fighter. This complete breakdown of the Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter will use models from Battlefront 2, the cross-sections and other Star Wars ship and vehicles sources.

1:26 LONG LONG LONG LONG
Made me lol hard, it took me so long to figure out what u meant because I knew what I meant and when I say them I lost it
Long
Long long is long.
Apparently the V-19 is 6 meters long, 9 meters long, and 26 meters long.
@@Tar-Numendil longcat approved.
The V-wing is probably the coolest looking republic ship, always thought it looked like a wolf head too
I like the rebel V wing better
It looks nothing like this h wing looking thing
Eh..I prefer the ARC-170
Hmmm, if we're talking Ships in general, then I'm going to have to disagree.
I'd have to say my favorite would be the Darth Mauls Scimitar.
@@fargeeks rebel B-wing all day. Lol 😄
The droid tri-fighter is still an absolute monster.
And to fight it, the Republic made it's own monster
FINALLY! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE STAR WARS FIGHTER!
6:48 this is what I miss the most in the new movies. The tech progression of the Star Wars universe.
It is somewhat visible on the X-wings, but all other 'wings and TIEs are pretty much just copies of the OT ones
@@HalNordmann at least the First Order star destroyers and walkers had some variety. But the internal empire ones were just copy paste Of imperial SD with doom cannons
@@Kishanth.J I once thought that the tractor beam cruiser from Andor (forgot its name) would've been great shape-wise for that role. It even has a Death Star-style dish up front!
@@HalNordmann the new Star Wars TV shows have some great ships. It just the sequel trilogy that disappointed me in ship design.
@@Kishanth.Jthat's the one thing they do well imo
Always loved the evolution of the minimalist design of the V wing and its transitional design aspects showing the evolution from jedi starfighter to empire superiority fighter with its cutting costs on life support and other options. Personally I would've loved to see more of this ship in action and I'm glad we saw more in The Bad Batch and perhaps we'll see a Mark 2 some day.
I say the V wing is more than a match for the X wing.
BF2017 featured a modified V-Wing with hyperdrive and shielding in the Resurrection campaign. It featured a nice black finish in addition to a modified N-1.
There is something with republic ships that even flying them in EA BF II feels fun. Unlike flying anything from the galactic civil "War"
Yeah more sleek or nimble, but idk what it is
Prequel nostalgia?
Why the hell is war in GCW in quotations? It quite literally spanned for over 20 years and had massive fleet engagements like the Battle of Orinda.
Galactic civil jihad
@@trivipesnipenot actually a civil war lol more like a revolution they won because most of the galaxy joined them not because they should have on paper
I find it really cool how the republic used different types of fighters. The V-19 kinda feels like the F-16 of republic fighters. Mass produced and super nimble, but smaller and not as survivable.
Totally this. It seems it's nearly as versatile as the F-16 as well.
It’s cool how bad batch uses them from a distance to foreshadow the tie fighter
Funny thing, in starfox assault. The arwings fuselage was similarly shaped as the v wing. Nintendo would make a fighter for the space battle over corneria using the arwings fuselage but with wings similarly shaped as the v wing. It looked very much like v wing.
The arwing 3s right. They definitely do look quite similar. Nice to see some star fox fans in these videos every once in a while.
Though which fighter would you rather have?
@@mill2712 hard to say, the v wing is faster and has two laser cannons. The ship from assault, which as far as I could find. Is listed as a cornerian fighter. Is slow and has one laser cannon. But is durable as a tank. And can boost to very high speeds. It also has life support. So the cornerian fighter is probably what I would choose between the two.
@@Motoskichimo1974
Yeah, the Cornerian Army starfighter in that game is definitely a replica of the Nimbus V Wing.
You brought up an excellent point I never considered beforehand, after years of fighting the droids, it seems, in more ways than 1, that The Republic & later The Empire gradually began adopting many of the tactics that were being used against them by the droids, including starfighter swarms and large amounts of relatively disposable infantry. It just makes me realize that the Empire was not only geared up for a war it wasn't fighting, (capital ship to capital ship for example), but geared up to fight a war it had already won.
They were mainly gearing up to awe and intimidate, since their military physically couldn't be everywhere.
A Star Destroyer could quickly level a city with turbolaser fire or more precisely with TIE bombers, and it could kill pretty much any civilian ship by grabbing it with a tractor beam and pounding it to pieces.
Remember, 99+ percent of the people and ships they dealt with were civilians without much in the way of weaponry. We just see the ships and soldiers the Alliance was able to scrape together at any given time. And the Rebels had to beg, borrow, steal and highly modify the weapons they could get.
It was more important to the Empire to keep the mega-corporations and the resource providers in line. They were looking to conquer by outproducing and outlasting the Rebels.
Unfortunately for them, the fear got replaced by anger and determination by some very capable beings.
One of the most underrated underused republic era ships and my personal favorite fighter ever
It’s really nice to be able to start watching ship vids again since I’m still procrastinating finishing Andor. Great work as always!
NerdZ, in case you make a video in the future a new updated video of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, as you did of the V-wing It would be interesting
if you calculate the size and space of the Venator hangar by calculating its square meters,similar to your Gladiator-class video.
The V-Wing for me is basically a "what would happen" when you use the design of the RZ-1 A-Wing, & the Mass Production of the Tie Fighter, & mix it together.
And yet the V-wing is superior to most TIE fighters
@@alejandroelluxray5298not really, lower overall speed and surprisingly lower maneuverability than even the basic TIE/LN, which is a lot better than people make it out to be
The Besh variant from the miniature game is to represent the bomber from BF2. I think the only source that gives them missiles is the FFG/Edge RPG.
0:57 nice catch. I wish they had been shown more prominently in the battle of Courscant at the start of Revenge of the Sith.
These are my favorite starfighters in Star Wars Battlefront 2, along with the Droid Tri-Fighter
I like to think that fighter is versatile like you said with all the optional weapons Like those bombs they could be swapped out
love this ship. its one of those ships that didn’t het much screen time but was goated in extended content like comics and books like Lords of the Sith when Vader hopped in one.
Republic navy moving from those goofy torrents to these and Headhunters was probably the biggest glowup in SW
PS this video reminded me how gorgeous Battlefront II is 🥲
I loved the OG Battlefront II. Good times...
I'd love to see a shipyard make a fighter that has an ion cannon that is set up like a Gatlin Gun and able fire like a Gatlin gun and maneuver like a v-wing. It would be a very useful fighter against star destroyers.
So basically a space A-10 warthog.
@@outlaw_x I always saw the arc-170 in that roll.
@@saltyheathen8113 that is true.
@@outlaw_x this would be like that plane that only had a Gatlin gun in ww2 instead of an assortment of bombs to go with it. Only difference it would be more effective. Or was it the browning 1918m1? I don't quite remember but all it had was a gun and it was more nimble and used only the gun.
@@outlaw_x ua-cam.com/video/KsNCh0r0bjg/v-deo.html
Have you seen this yet?
Excellent clip. I’m so happy this has been clarified and elaborated upon.
Also these ships in legends were captured by the Rebel Alliance.
The V wing was my first Star Wars Lego set. It’s one of my favorite fighters
This was always my favourite ship, next to the N-1 of course. Such sleek and beautiful starfighters
The wings are depicted to fold either forwards, backwards, or outwards. I wonder if there is an official way they are supposed to, or if they can do whatever depending on the situation.
Bummer the most screen time for this one was at the very end of RotS. I liked how George would pick stuff from the EU to throw in his films. Made the universe feel more fleshed out.
One of my favorite Republic starfighters. Keep up the good work, man.
You forgot how the way the wings adjust for landing changed, from rotating, to folding, to both most recently
Keep posting great content man. I'm currently recovering from surgery and I'm binge watching your stuff again.
Damn thanks hope u get better soon
Just a great looking ship. A fraction of the price of the Eta with better guns and shields and almost equal in speed. Way better looking too. Throw in some life support upgrades and you've got a great little ride.
You forgot to mention that the v-wing fighter also appeared in starfox assault for the GameCube
Missed you man! Keep up the great work!
It's a cute little ship. I'm not a pilot, but i would go for the V-wing if shuttles didn't exist.
Always thought the v wing looked so slick.
Fun Fact: the original Lego V-Wing that came out in 2005 only had an R4 head piece, not a full astromech body. Meaning that it was technically more lore accurate than the recent set in that respect.
Great video MetaNerdz, truly a fascinating starfighter.
When I first heard about this Starfighter, I got a little confused since I've heard of the V-Wing used by the Rebels in Legends. Don't know why
The V-Wing from the classic Battlefront 2 game is one of my favorite variations of it
One of the coolest looking starfighters of the franchise, at least of the Republic.
I know some people before said that the Arwings and Cornerian Starfighters of Star Fox Assault are very similar to the Nimbus V Wing (with the latter being basically a clone of it), but here's the thing: _Star Fox: Assault_ was released over three months before _Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith_ (February 14th vs May 19th). So either someone at Nintendo/Namco saw production material for RotS and added the Cornerian Starfighter as a reference, they're both based on a previous ship or it's just a coincidence.
Still my favorite starfighter since 2005!!
Great vid
Yes I had the biggest grin on my face ty for this vid I love this Fighter. 💯 ❤️
Always enjoy your videos.
I think it's such a cool looking design. So glad to see them in action in bad batch
I remember the first Vwing Lego set that came out during episode 3, nostalgia hits good w/ this video
4:08 That's really cool art of a V-Wing on Mygeeto
My favorite ship from the Clone Wars and Imperial era.
That was, Awesome thank you
So is this the beginning of going through all the Republic ships or just one of those spur of the moment type postings? 😂 Cuz I would really love to see the Z-95 redone.
V-Wing: stands for *VIOLENCE* Wing
I just want to say that having things like large panels on fighters to dissipate heat because of the way heat and space work together is a detail that's pretty damn unimportant, but it shows care with the world that's being created. We got things like that with Lucas running things, but we get a single TIE that's able to take out all the gun emplacments on a Star Destroyer with JJ and KK doing things. No, I don't care that the Star Destroyer was surprised because it didn't expect one of it's own fighters to attack it, the thing still shouldn't have been able to do that, even with that model TIE being better than the old one. "Poe is the best pilot ever!" Yeah but Finn is a janitor. JJ sucks. KK sucks. Rian sucks twice (your name isn't rye-an if you spell it like that, you're ree-ann, just because your parents got cute with how they spelled your name because they thought they were being clever doesn't mean the rest of us have to change the way we say words, you made half a good movie, only the first part of Looper was any good, you suck).
This was my first lego starwars set. It is what started my love for the franchise and will always hold a special place in my heart.
I personally interpreted the "Besh" and "Esk" variants of the V-Wing as the solutions for the inconsistencies. The B version is the bomber seen in BFII, a fast-moving ground-attack vehicle designed to fly in, drop ordnance on a ground target, and then get out. The E version is the escort seen in Revenge of the Sith, which has been noted to have an in-built hyperdrive.
One of my favorite Star Wars fighters. If you think about it, it's the perfect fighter for planetary defense forces. It is fast, shielded, and with the high rate of fire you don't have to be super accurate. It's also got an Astromech to help the pilot do things like fly and angle the weapons for firing. The mech can also be used after flying for maintenance and repairs, as well as to get the preflight done when the scramble alert goes out. Put in the bomb launchers and you have a low-end superiority fighter that can dogfight AND bomb larger targets.
Underrated fr
It would have been cool if the Empire kept the V-Wing. Then both it's star destroyers and it's star fighters would have been wedge shaped.
You are such a fracking nerdiod! watched this twice. Love it .... thanks
I have always been facinated with republic fighters. something just makes them feel rugged and well made
Love this ship love your vids keep it up
Nice looking ship
I would love to see a video about the Millennium Falcon here on Meta Nerdz Lore.
Love the vwing
Technically the Eta-2 you see Anakin and ObiWan flying at the beginning of Episode 3 is the precursor to the Tie Fighter since it was developed alongside the Tie program in its early stages. Its deployment is probably what led to many of the features you see in the Tie. If anything the V-wing has more in common with the A-wing which would make its debut in Episode 6 since both craft were interceptors.
The nail in the coffin for this debate is that Tie Fighter prototypes were first tested in 29bby. That is 7 years before the Clone Wars started(22 BBY) and 10 years before it ended(very late into 19BBY). The V Wing was first used in the 3rd year of the Clone Wars of 19BBY.
TL;DR the V Wing can't be the precursor to the Tie Fighter since the Tie Fighter predates it by 10 years.
always loved this ship, madea great bomber and heavy interceptor. every since battlefront 2, no not the PoS ea version for the ps4. looked like a beefy jedi starfighter i love the look
I've been trying to find the micro galaxy squadron v-wing. Great looking ship!
Got the 2006 lego V-wing it is a very nice starfighter it is my third favourite behind the ARC-170 Starfighter and X-wing Starfighter.
I love the Nimbus-class V-wing
Dude I love this video no the worth thing I wanna ask for from you is do a video on the V-19 torrent/BTLB-Y wilming/ The ARC-170 and the clone Z-95 handle just starfighter Please can you do that I will give you 10000% of my support
Looks really dope though like something from The Old Republic Gree or Rakatan Empire design.
FFG Collapse of The Republic book, nice. These books got a lot of neat details and lore in them; let alone fun to play.
the shot of v-wings screeching as they fly past the camera was always so silly to me
One of my first if not my first lego set 2005 v wing thanks grandma, too bad I was too dumb to put it together correctly lol
I have a toy of one of these somewhere, it's huge
Are there any plans to do a lore breakdown on the wookies?
YESSSSSSS MY FAVOURITE FIGHTER (other than the B wing)
Can we get one of these on the Theta class shuttle? It’s my favourite shuttle and it’s (in my opinion) underrated as hell
i forgot i had seen this, so i just saw it again., you released 5h ago.
god this weed is strong, but i dont feel like i wasted time, so kudos sir
Is there any source, why they changed the landing gear - from landing on the wings to backfolding wings and the front „foot“?
This has always been my go-to ship if I was to ever be in Star Wars.
There was a recolor release of the V-Wing LEGO set that was an Imperial variant.
V wings do really remind me of the Starfox Assault Arwing
My favorite Republic and Imperial ship!
The V-Wing are the main fighter for the Republic on Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the PSP. I think because I have thousands of hours on that I grew to respect the fighter. It isn't a tie fighter. I'd say its better.
Definitely top three ship designs in all of star wars
I wish we had seen them escorting ARC-170s. Clearing out vultures and letting the bombers go through undamaged.
The problem is the same one that the Allies had in WWII, a very fast interceptor pinned down doing escort of slower bombers or heavily laden fighter-bombers sacrifices vital maneuverability.
That's why the fighters were usually orbiting above the bomber groups and then dived down to attack the enemy fighters, and when the bombers headed home at least some of the escort fighters usually went hunting for the enemy planes around their airfields to pick off damaged planes and shoot them up on the ground.
It's a numbers game. Kill their trained pilots and wreck their best planes.
Of course the Rebels couldn't do that, since they were almost always outnumbered and out-produced.
So they had to target Imperial strategic assets and morale.
@@kenle2 ARC-170s are quite agile though and you could send the V-Wings in first to do as much damage as possible while using the advantages of a V-Wing.
I really enjoy the V-wing. It certainly has had a lot of ambiguous attributes over the years. I'm still unsure of how the wing rotations work. Sometimes they depict the wing folding forward together and in the one wide shot clip here, the wings are folded backward. But then it also has the wings as landing gear feature where the whole thing stays open but rotates down. Are all of them true?
Great video.
I didn't really enjoyed that much in sw bf ii (2005) because of the way it fires lol. Tho I love how it looks like and of course the stuka like sound
V Wing pilots look really cool.
Never thought I’d see a Star Wars UA-camr be sponsored by fume
"That's not how you VWING!" *Willie punches Frink*
Do a video on the domestic animals that are native to star wars
Can you do the harower destroyer breakdown
My favorite Starfighter
Alpha nimbus Vwing is also predecessor of Awing. Vwing has better armoured cockpit , and speed is close to equal
I'll bet Empire pilots were pissed when they had to trade in these ships for the worse and way less survivable Tie fighters.
Really hope they make a new Lego version of it especially a grey one
Okay so to fighters don’t have life support so the pilots need sealed suits but what about when Poe and Finn took the tie fighter from the first order and didn’t have helmets
MetaNerdz Lore: "You want to buy some Fume?"
Me: *Performs mindtrick* You don't want to sell me Fume.
MetaNerdz Lore: " I don't want to sell you Fume..."
Me: "You want to go home and rethink your life."
MetaNerdz Lore: "I want to go home and rethink my life."
Lol I like the joke, but since so many people are confused it isn't a vape, no electric part, just breathing in plant flavors.
my favorite, even though I don't know why in Bad Batch it's vipada without a shield even though it should even have a palpatine escort and a hyperdrive
I always thought the Eta class was the predecessor to the Tie Fighter? as least visually they looked similar
