    Despite the LAAT taking my vote, I adore the Droid Gunship. The fact that it is a droid in-and-of itself is a major plus. No living pilot means no possibility for 'human' error. If its told to, it can go in and out without question, or mercilessly slaughter an entire town without hesitation.
    Standard CIS malfunctions notwithstanding, of course.

    • @kornkernel2232
      @kornkernel2232 6 років тому +16

      Maybe if they used Lambda in this list, it would get into 3rd. It's still armed, though not as heavily armed as a proper gunship, but it said it's sturdy as hell. Even doesn't have overall fire-power, it's laser cannons are still good and spread out around the ship. Lambda-class shuttle after all are used by high ranking officials too, so it's defensive capabilities must be really good.
      Not to mention that still Empire have proper gunships such as Ye-4 Gunship.
      The problem is that on movies, we never really saw the Empire using other gunships at all. Only the Lambda-class shuttle which is mostly used by high ranking officials or special forces instead. Even on TV series such as on Rebels I think, except for one that on this list, which is not really a military-grade and not design on mind to be used for proper military.

      @darwinxavier3516 6 років тому +32

      Technological advancement is kind of a loose term in Star Wars when all the technology seems to be pretty stagnant for thousands of years. Things seem to simply get bigger with more guns. The CIS has the most impressively varied and adaptive collection of vehicles I've ever seen. The fact that they're droids means they don't require lengthy training and are relatively easy to replace. Give a few of those units enhanced AI and equipment like an ace droid starfighter and they could devastate nearly any opponent.

      it makes even more sense when considering where the majority of encountered fire would come from.
      its a dropship so most fire would be AA fire from the ground so having the tropp department between the incoming fire and the tech means extra layers of armor for it (at the expense of the cargo but we all know that the GAR didnt give a sh*t about their troopers...)

    The LAAT does have a sheild. It's clearly seen in episode 2 ATOC. The LAAT carrying Obi-Wan & Anikan takes many shots from Geonosian fighters. These shots explode prematurely because they are hitting it's sheilds.

    Don't the sheilds have to be down in order to return fire?

      @@Lego_Chewbacca Gunship is slang name of specialized attack crafts and assault transports. Both LAAT and HMP are heavily armed and designed to transport ground forces. They are gunships. Sentinel was heavy transport, what usually is not the case with gunships. Though it is relatively heavy armed for such large transport. So after rethinking it, I would say that it could be considered as gunship, but I wouldn't really use it that way. You don't put too many eggs in one basket under heavy fire.

    How would this comparison have looked like if the Empire had the IDT/Imperial Dropship Transport (the thing from 0:46)? Both of your choices for the "best ground vehicle" video and this one for the Empire confuse me. In the former, you put an All Terrain Armoured Transport without the armoured or the transport part against mobile comand centres, a better AT-AT and something that's literally called "Supertank". In this video, you compare a heavy gunship with missiles that can carry troops, a heavier gunship with more missiles that can carry troops and dedicated troop transport with * drumroll * ...a police car. I'm not hating on you or anything, but I really don't understand what thought process led to you putting a (flying) police car (with missiles) up against dedicated war machines.
