type 3 for me, more the size of a fighter, small and swift. still has the drop trooper and longer range. easier to hit and land in tight spots is the big adv it have over the others, i could see a type 1 and type 3 being used in the same fleet for different roles
Nice breakdown! This is definitely a cool class of ship. One suggestion though to improve your videos would be to speak louder. Watching on my laptop I struggled to hear you at times.
Would love for you to cover the unsung warband of alpha legionnaires who made off with a saint after Saint Celestine was I suppose directed by the emperor to send the saint off with them while she and the sisters of battle(can’t remember which’s sisters) held off Kharn world eaters. Such an amazing book and easily one of my favorites but I really like renegade space marines that aren’t chaos slaves as well
@@RadioFreeCoruscant lmao it is, I had your vid set next on my watch list and the video I was commenting on switched over to yours right as the other video had ended and for whatever reason my comment attached to yours! My bad lol the book I was referencing though is Shroud of Night by Andy Clark and meant to leave the comment for the Warhammer lore channel Sandman of Terra!
Refit a Type 2, with living quarters, and a small cargo bay, and I'm there. Throw in a carbonite freezing device. and it would also be a good Razor Crest replacement for Din Jaron and Din Grogu
That sounds like a great setup for them! I liked the N1, but since the Dins are going back to bounty hunting, they will need a proper transport. I suppose they could be simple assassination jobs, but I would think the New Republic would want the Imperial warlords alive to stand trial. Maybe Bo-Katan will gift them an unpainted Gauntlet to match his other ships!
@@RadioFreeCoruscant The N1 is an excellent star fighter, and space sports classic, but not so much for bounty hunting. What's he going to say, "I can bring you in warm, or I can shove you in the glove box"? Plus those forges on Mandalore looked big enough to churn out capital ships
In case you still don't get the scale of this thing from this video, I looked it up. The Type 1 is smaller than a Boeing 747 but bigger than the Spruce Goose. The Type 2 is four meters (13 feet) longer than a B-52 Bomber. The Type 3 is about the same size as a C-130 cargo plane. The only height listed on Wookieepedia is 13.23 meters or a bit over 43 feet or as tall as a Brachiosaurus. A) You would never need anything bigger than a Type 2 if it is just you B) They all should have been able to carry more than 10 to 24 passengers C) These things definitely had at least one bathroom. And not just a powder room. Showers, plural.
Excellent size comparisons! I actually had the good fortune to see an AC-130 on display at an air show recently so that helps to visualize the size of the small model.
3:14 BAH!! What do you know?! Obviously a 5 story difference leading you to only stick out at 17 stories in height will make all of the difference when you're fighting in knee-high grass!
3:09 I think that the rotating s-foil must be an inconsistency in canon. I saw the footage in your video, but what purpose does the rotating s-foil wing have in the Gauntlet, there are no cannons on the wing like there are on the Fang-class. (The edit: Ok so you cover the inconsistencies. I also love the Type 3 the best also. It makes the most sense for an ultra-elite super commando race like the Mandalorians, to have several similar ships so that enemies would get them mixed up and not be sure of the exact craft and complement they’re dealing with).
The purpose is actually maneuverability, in atmosphere. Better aim when shooting, as well, if you yourself are not rotating as you fly, and just the wings. In atmo, if the wings are rotating, it allows the turn, while you stay flat. At least, that's partly the logic I use in my head, personally. As well as, allows avoidance of attacks on the engines, which are located on said wings, again, without having to shift your own position.
1:19 you are getting the Kom'rk-class fighter/transport mixed up with the Fang-class fighter. The Fang fighter is much smaller and the Gauntlet does not have the fully rotating s-foil wings of the Fang.
The type 3 looks badass honestly, it literally has the same type of uses as the milenium falcon
type 3 for me, more the size of a fighter, small and swift. still has the drop trooper and longer range. easier to hit and land in tight spots is the big adv it have over the others, i could see a type 1 and type 3 being used in the same fleet for different roles
torn between type 2 and 3 3 for its independant wings and 2 because its nice a big
Those two are definitely the best ones!
woow. i just bought a miniature/toy and had no idea it was a type3, i thought there was only 1 type never noticed the difrences
we need some fang fighters , to complete the set :)
oh yeah ...
a few lancer class patrol ships wouldn't hurt either
I like all 3, but if I had to have 1, I would take the type 3
same
We do see the wings on the type 3 rotate round the cockpit during the canyon scene
I’ll have to re-examine that scene! I was pretty sure the whole ship rotated, but maybe not.

I’ve been working on it! The first two or three videos were pretty rough, but I started turning up the narration volume in Premiere after that.

What book is that from? It sounds like Warhammer 40k, but I’m not an expert in that to know for sure. It sounds cool either way, though!

Oh, whoops! I’ve had that happen before too; it’s always irritating!
Scale of mark 1 seems off, that or it has never had good screen time, I suspect it was supposed to be a frigate

Yes, the Fang fighter is smaller than the Komrk fighter; but both can fully rotate their wings. Have you not watched the Clone Wars?
