I'd prefer using a 6 barreled 20 mm Vulcan autocannon like the ones on US Navy ships which double as CIWS point defense. Variable RoF to 4,500+ rounds/min after latest block upgrade on the barrels to better tolerate heat build up.
Since all Star Wars combat is based on WW2 in one form or another, one might use this comparison to explain the Laser Cannon vs. Turbolaser divide: Laser cannons are equivalent to autocannons such as the 40mm anti-air guns used on WW2 ships. Turbolasers are equivalent to full-sized naval guns, and the lighter ones can, like the ubiquitous 5-inch gun of the WW2 US Navy, be in defensive roles as well.
Dude its like 50mm cannon and a recoilless rifle. 50mm cannon is called cannon even though its a machine gun. And recoilless rifle is called rifle even though its an anti tank weapon.
@@chrysllerryu4171 Great... Now I'm trying to imagine what a 50 mm machine gun would look like. XD Given that those rounds would be the size of grenades... Hmmh... Actually, what about firing those kinds of grenades out of a machine gun? No... That seems like a bad idea... Or does it? ...
again, they are most likely plasma weapons, especially considering how irregular the burns created are, lasers would create very precise holes rather than splash like burns.
You can't apply real physics to Star Wars ;) At least in Legends but I think also in canon, blasters are stated as being particle guns with some of them being plasma guns (most notably the DC-15 series, which is why they were very effective against droids). Blaster technology is mostly used in small arms and light cannons while laser cannons are much more powerful but mostly used in spaceships and large vehicles like the AT-AT (the AT-AT's heavy chin cannons are lasers while it's secondary cannons are blasters). Laser technology is also much older. In the Pre-Republic and early Republic eras, laser weapons used by infantry were mostly heavy stationary cannons comparable to the E-Web repeating blaster, while the standard portable guns were mostly slug-throwers. There were also portable laser cannons but they were really heavy and required a backpack containing a large energy pack, similar to early lightsaber technology (lightsabers are plasma weapons, however).
Carolus Magnus no, they are plasma canons. The light is focused through the kyber Crystal which is then applied to the tibina gass, ionising it, and then releasing it as a bolt. They are plasma canons and they work on the same principles as the blasters do.
I've done some thinking about star wars weapons, and I think the term "Turbolaser Battery" usually refers to a set of turbolaser weapons that are bunched up together to focus all their firepower on the same target. A great visualization of this is the Bellator-class Star Dreadnought. You can visibly see the turrets grouped up into small clusters and large clusters rather than evenly distributed across the entire surface of the ship.
Yup, it's also commonly used to delineate a set of four turrets in a formation like you've described. Even if it's a grouping of eight, it'd be two batteries. Not taking into account number of barrels.
@@ufukcangencoglu2279 No, it seems even dumber, because the clone wars had been over for years and the Empire was certainly very aware that they were dealing with The Rebel Alliance when they built the Death Star. Movies don't have to make perfect sense dude, there are always holes
@@ufukcangencoglu2279 Its pure plot... The CIS literally based their navy around numbers.. CIS fleets would literally carry thousands of vulture droids for fighter combat.
Actually the empire military and navy isn't designed for war at all. Its designed for the intimidation, it's designed to scare the locals not to uprise.
7:22, ion cannons are also useful against shields, just a note. The electrical discharge they produce was specifically noted at several points as being especially potent and draining shields, allowing the turbolasers to then finish them off.
proton beams, actually. Not lasers, strictly speaking in real world terms those would be considered particle accelerators. Most proton beams are of the composite-beam type, where multiple proton beams are connected to deal more damage. Composite-beam weapons are also reffered to as 'lasers' of course, like most star wars energy weapons, but they arent literal lasers like our understanding of them. There are a handful of non-composite-beam proton beam weapons though, such as the star destroyer Accuser and the Lancet aerial artillery.
3:46 If anyone is wondering what game that is. It’s called Space Engineers, it’s an amazing game with a huge mod and ship building community. It’s a space based building exploration game that has realistic voxel damage. I would suggest checking it out. If you want a familiar face, check out Captain Shack. He does Empire at War and Space Engineers. Edit: I would like to add how there is a HUGE Star Wars community in Space Engineers. There are plenty of builds and mods for Star Wars stuff. The ARMCO mods for Star Wars shops is a good example. And Captain Shack is leading that modding team.
Great explanation, just what I've been looking for! All we need now is to sort out exactly what missile does what - do they take down shields, do they go through shields, are they torpedoes, missiles -- Argh!
missles really work kinda like turbo-lasers but are individualy smaller because its a single munition instead of a huge gun connected to a reactor but if you but 200 munitions launchers on a ship the cost of all the missles builds up really fast so turbo-lasers are used more
See, The Thing is OP af. The ONLY reason it didn't destroy all of humanity is because it hit the most secluded place on Earth. It'll take over Coruscant rather quickly thanks to the massive amount of beings.
I had a cool idea for a ship: the Overlord-Class Battlecruiser (ship) These have turrets that slide along rails that run through the middle of the ship, and thus, the firepower can be spread in such a way that you can easily broadside someone, no questions asked. The ship is an irregular pentagon, with two massive turbolaser batteries near its engine bays. Only a few turrets actually slide, and these are medium-sized batteries. The super batteries on the sides can turn a little, but only up and down. It handles any assault pretty well, except for along the back, however, its sister ship class, the Overseer-class Heavy Cruiser, is a supercarrier which can provide massive fighter screens if need be.
Fun fact for anyone that was wondering why they don’t just nuke the spaceships: A conventional nuclear missile has an initial blast radius of about ten miles, so essentially everything within a 20 mile sphere would be either scorched or disintegrated entirely. However, the nuclear radiation from the blast, not limited by gravity or wind in a vacuum, would theoretically spread infinitely until it is pulled into a gravity well of some sort. For reference, roughly 4 conventional nuclear missiles would completely destroy the Supremacy, so it would be completely overkill on something like an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer.
2:02 I like how they made that blue laser from like 3 seconds of revenge of the Sith a whole objective for battlefront 2 2017. You gotta admit, EA sees a lot of missed details from movies that they can incorporate into their game
This vid popped up on my recommended and seeing the 3 year’s ago post date, I felt happy knowing I’ve spent over 3 years subbed and watching your content.
Old Republic Hammerhead vs Republic Dreadnought class Cruiser Xwing vs Tie Hunter Covenant Elite/Brute Honor Guard vs Emperor's Royal Guard or the CIS Magna Guard
The turbo laser canon weapons in Star Wars are essentially laser-generated plasma bolts, similar to the Imperial Las tech weapons from 40K, with the main difference only being more ammo is in the form of energy cells and fewer chances of blowing up, regular blasters use a combination of railgun & plasma ignited by laser to amp the power damage output, the main reason ionized gas is added to be converted into plasma is that laser beam itself that ignited the thermal plasma bolt used in the past would dissipate very quickly after exiting the barrel even after the improvement to the lens, weapons material for the pistols/riffles/canons, making conventional laser weapons useless, unless they were designed to work on the Turbo laser parameters, But rail gun,mass accelerator tech exists in Star Wars and appears in the form of capital ship class weapons for delivering warheads similar to the Macro Canons of Imperium from 40K or the MAC guns from the Halo, alternatively, they can fire rockets if the need for long-range engagement against another capital ship or cluster ammo for dealing with fighters, these canons are very much broadside weapons, Flak canon are as the name implies weapons designed to deal with enemy fighters by firing frgmentation projectiles at them akin to WW II ones, only bigger, Particle canons also exist and are often seen on capital ships as replacements for the rail canons since they did not need ammo to being with The old Sith Empire did use gravity weapons during the times of the Great Hyper Space but those are long gon, Missiles are there in many shapes and forms, nuclear ones even but they make our looks silly, some versions can even target enemy ships in Hyperspace or be launched via hyperspace into a planet
Broadside does have combat merit though. You can more easily make straifing runs and take on multiple targets at once. It also tends to minimize your target profile.
Nuclear weapons were used by the Mandalorians in Legends canon for planetary bombardment, launched from capital ships. It's also heavily implied that pre-Republic naval engagements and planetary sieges in Legends heavily involved nuclear ordinance. The Ash Worlds, a region of dead planets near Hutt Space, were said to bear the radioactive scars of nuclear bombardments, the result of a genocidal campaign by the Hutts against the colonial reaches of Xim the Despot's empire. My theory is that nuclear weapons in the Star Wars universe became obsolete, which is why they weren't used very often.
That was a pretty cool way to explain things. If i had a science teacher like you when i was in school i would not have fallen asleep in class all the time. Keep up the good work. Your video's are always a blast to watch.
I've been trying a while now to create a fanon ship, the imperial "finale-class battlecruiser", and I never knew this video existed but now that I do... _it's extremely helpful_

"Crossing the T" is a classic naval strategy that was used through WW2. The Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Eastern Visayan region in the Philippines was the last major use of this tactic. Turrets were movable in ~270 degrees horizontal and ~70 degrees vertical.
Shadow Of Sundered Star I don’t know about that... Star Wars is famous for expanding on everything that can possibly be expanded on. There are frequently entire stories crafted around a single ship that appeared for seconds in the movies or another source. The universe is almost as fleshed out as our own. The Legends storyline goes before 25,000 BBY to after 150 ABY. The Canon is a lot less expansive, as it has only had 4 years to expand, but it is still incredibly well fleshed out.
Finally a Good, Understandable and Unbiased SW Video that Breaks down what's also my Fav Part of the Star Wars Universe, Fleet Vs Fleet Warfare! Despite taking place " A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away " all Sides pretty much still use a lot of Tac/Strat from the Day's when Massive Ship of the Line's delivered huge Broadsides at each other, while Soldiers/Crew used Muskets to Snipe at each other.
Commander Lakar I think that the replicators would lose because the Empire had a much larger fleet. But the Replicators could win if they could board as much Star Destroyers as possible
keep in mind the replicators borg like ability to adapt to powerful weapons like the plasma beams of the Asgard. I imagine replicator ships would adapt to turbo lasers and laser cannons within the first dozen battles and then the starwars universe would get totally owned.
The auto-generated Closed Captioning is actually really good on this video (and your others) for some reason; I suspect it's because you speak so clearly and understandably!
5:00 The Imperial II-class Star Destroyer [...] did not have a dedicated point-defense system. Its *screen* of upwards to 20 lesser *Destroyers* : "Are we a joke to you?"
Thank you this is exactly the information I was looking for, I'm currently scratch building a model of a ship concept I designed a while ago, this video definitely helped me decide where to place the different types of armament.
+dariomasi9 Actually it's been mentioned that while they can teleport to other universes they can't teleport to a SPECIFIC point within the same universe which is why they wanted to get the teleportation technology from Black Mesa so that means they'd still need to travel in space. And of course they'd immediately reverse engineer the firsthyper drive they got ahold of to improve upon it then add it to their arsenal and make their job easier (That is if they didn't have something like it already.)
Daleks would crush the Borg. They can adapt like the Borg can, but faster and better. They have time travel, and weapons that are too powerful to adapt to. One Dalek ship can destroy an entire PLANET by itself. Not even the Time Lords stood a chance.
Mega Star Destroyer (The Supremacy), with all the ships it can carry, Resurgent, Mandator 4 etc. Vs the US entire Military (Preferably to be done after the release of The Last Jedi.)
In a game that I play called Rebel Galaxy, they make heavy use of Broadsides, but in that Universe it makes sense; even though I personally don't like it. Loved the video mate.
This video impressed me quite a bit! Very accurate and detailed. You should have remembered this video when it came to the Independence day video you made lol. Still well done.
@@dilon6168 And that's all that matters really. I've been kind of sort of light spoiled, (Saw a couple of non spoiler reviews and a few thumbnails on some youtubers) but I'm going to try to go in and just have a good time.
Bless you for take the time to break down everything that you do... You are how I introduced my girl to star wars and she got it only because the way you made it make sense to her...... 🙏🔥😎🔥🙏 Once let the force be with you
They are essentially naval cannons, but instead of big hunks of steel its heated plasma. Laser cannons are more like a Bofors or an Orelikon anti aircraft weapons, and blasters are pretty much plasma slinging... well... guns
Yup! A lot of the stuff in SW is based off WWII tech, that's the reason it's red lasers for Rebels, and green for the Empire instead of the other way around. German tracers during WWII were green, and American were orange-y-red.
@@5peciesunkn0wn Kinda ironic associating America with a small rebellion, given that in WW2 (and today) it's probably the single most powerful country on the planet. To make matters worse, the allies included the UK, which at the time very much still was a literal empire that spanned half the planet. (even if that empire wasn't so cohesive perhaps) Although you can't claim them to be the good guys in any way, the Germans and especially the Japanese were very much the underdogs of that war. (as in they were relatively small countries that somehow got it into their head they could take on much bigger rivals.)
No challenge. Delta has Katarn MK 2 armor which, if you look at triple zero, was rated to stop a verpine shatter round at point blank range. Combine that with the DC 17 and Noble team doesn't stand a chance.
I think the Conqueror Star Destroyer is an underrated Battleship. It's possesses the power to destroy most single targets, and is excellent in a ground support role. I'd love to make a Lego version.
Verry great vid m8! Could you go deeper on how mutch power laser cannons and projectiles have and how effective they are to certain armor how they handle lets say a few feet of iron plating or shields how they work and what they can take from certain weapons. I know this is a lot but i think all of your subs will apreciate it
Space is Naval? Me: Jar Jar, where are your battleships? Jar Jar Binks: Mesa use submarines wiz za ports open! Me: No! I mean your capital ships that destroy other ships in space! Jar Jar Binks: Well, me anty aircraft is throwing speers in se air! Me: So that's how battleships die so easily...
Many sci-fi stories refer to a space force as a navy because they operate in similar manners. A navy consists of fleets of capital ships with smaller support ships and/or fighters, and so does a space force, so that's why the Imperial Navy refers to the star destroyers etc and not to water-based vessels.
I've got some good ideas! *1.* 100 CR-90 Blockade Runners VS 1 Alligiance Star Destroyer *2.* Tyrant Heavy Missile Cruiser VS World Devistator *3.* Aclemator Class Assult Ship VS Nebulon B Frigate *4.* Droid Control Ship VS Scarif Shield Gate *5.* Tie Phantom VS Tie Defender *6.* Imperial Class 3 Star Destroyer VS First Order Recergence Star Destroyer *7.* T-800 Terminator VS IG-88 *8.* World Devistator VS Late Clone War Lukerhulk Droid Control Ship
To expand upon what chrysller ryu said: Turbo lasers are the anti-ship (other naval vessels), bombardment (siege/anti-structure operations) 16in guns of WWII battleships. Laser cannons are the Bofors 40mm flak cannon and the .50 cal machine guns. Bombardment: such as the naval bombardment of Iwo Jima prior to invasion by US troops. Anti-ship: such as the Battle of Surigao Straight during the Battle of Leyte Gulf (the final ship-to-ship engagement involving crossing-the-T, or full broadside by an entire fleet against an opposing force, in history) Anti-aircraft: ua-cam.com/video/jAxdgeHqpJA/v-deo.html many countries, including the US, still use the Bofors to this day. That is how versatile and powerful this weapon is.

Clash Gamer yes but i think it will be fair if they didnt know each other at all (somehow) and clone commandos are pretty effective fighters as seen in TCW
A good way of explaining turbolasers vs. lasers would be to compare them to real-world naval weapons. A battleship for example would have its primary guns for engaging other capital ships, secondary guns to defend agianst smaller ships like corvettes or torpedo boats, anti-aircraft cannons and auto-cannons, which might also serve dual-purpose for defense against small ships.
Do a space battle between a UNSC battlegroup composed of 1 Punic-class supercarrier, 1 Marathon-class heavy cruiser, 6 UNSC destroyers, and 12 Paris-class heavy frigates and an Imperial squadron composed of 3 Vindicator-class heavy cruisers, 1 Acclamator-class assault ship, 4 Carrack-class light cruisers, 4 Lancer-class frigates, and 2 Vigil-class corvettes. Wiki reference links: halo.wikia.com/wiki/Punic-class_supercarrier halo.wikia.com/wiki/Marathon-class_heavy_cruiser halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_destroyer halo.wikia.com/wiki/Paris-class_heavy_frigate starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vindicator-class_heavy_cruiser starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Acclamator-class_assault_ship starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Carrack-class_light_cruiser/Legends starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lancer-class_frigate/Legends starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vigil-class_corvette
It's moronic when space travellers make ships that are less durable than modern tanks and have primary anti-capital-ship weapons that are weaker than 1980s hand-held rocket launchers. The pathetic "orbital bombardment" of the rebel base in Rebels made me want to choke everyone involved with the project. At least the later Legends stuff fairly consistently portrayed relatively realistically-powerful warships. Until that damn Clone Wars show (the new one, obviously).
The best comparison I can think of for turbolasers vs laser cannons (and this is mainly because I've been playing craploads of World of Warships lately) is naval artillery vs anti-air emplacements on WWI/WWII-era ships. Naval artillery is used for ship-to-ship combat, just like turbolasers are. Artillery is slow and heavy, limiting its usefulness against aerial craft (starfighters and bombers, in Star Wars). Like turbolasers, it comes in different calibres relative to the size of the vessel: destroyers and light cruisers will carry smaller guns, generally in single or double gun arrangements, while heavy cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships will have much heavier ordinance which tend to be mounted in triple or even quadruple gun turrets. While smaller artillery calibres will rotate and reload faster than their heavier counterparts, they're all too slow and cumbersome to hit aerial craft. Anti-air guns, however, are the opposite. Fast-firing and moving, they're much more suitable for hitting smaller, nimbler targets like aircraft. While you *could* turn them on other sea-faring ships, their shorter range and much smaller calibre will ensure they have limited to no effect on the larger, more heavily-armoured vessels. As such, anti-air guns are reserved solely for that purpose: fending off aircraft.
CrossedSpace The Galactic republic wouldn't win the only way they could win would be if the Jedis somehow can board the ships or learn Clone Troopers to fight with melee weapons cause Borg Drones can adapt long range weapons and also turbolasers
CrossedSpace the republuc could win with star fighter numbers and stretegy, but the borg would have numbers in capital ships. The republic also has less territory than the empire.
Shadow Of Sundered Star The First battle would be won by the Covenant but the Borg had technology that made them discover what sort of weapons ships used and then made their shields so the weapons couldn't do any damage to them so I think the Borg would win and they had a fleet of atleast 7000 borg cubes
No members of the Rebel Alliance is a hero. They are terrorists fighting against the legitimate, stable government. They may have individual good people, but they are not heroes.
One of my favorite sci-fi novels of all time is called A Choice of Treasons by JL Doty. One of the reasons it's my favorite is because even though Doty is actually a laser physicist he refuses to use them in his story. Instead capital ship weapons are cannons that actually launch nuclear warheads into hyperspace, so the shells can cross hundreds of millions of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Capital ship nukes act more like a EMP weapon in space unless they impact the hull of a vessel directly. In the latter case the explosion is sort of weaker than it should be in the atmosphere and the resulting decompression is likely to kill more.
The terminators are far more superior than most of the battle droids so it's highly unlikely but the T-800 didn't fair well at all against direct energy weapons so Skynet would have to start mass producing T-850s if it didn't already.
Insert name here Plasma Rifles were far more destructive than Star Wars blasters despite being more primitive. A single Plasma Bolt from an HK Tank is Able to Obliterate a human being in a steam explosion whereas the similar scale AT-ST Blaster Cannon rounds just leave a small size hole in a person's body and flinging him back a few feet. A T-800 can tank a few Plasma Rounds before going down. A B2 Super Battle Droid can't take more than 2 hits from a Blaster.
+Richard Ched If that's the case then Skynet wouldn't even need the T-850s because the units it already has could survive dozens of shots which is and even easier win.
+Ethan Rodriguez That's not even a warm up for space marines. Not to be a fanboy, but you're talking about a bunch of baseline human conscripts with basic projectile weaponry versus genetically modified supersoldier veterans of hundreds of wars wearing powerarmor capable of surviving nukes and wielding guns that are essentially machinegun missile launchers.
Question, I remember during an episode of star wars the clone wars, droids were loading canisters into cannons situated on the side of a providence class ship. Was curious if those acted in a similar fashion to how our brass casings work in our bullets or if they were fired and destroyed in the process.
+Blood Reaper 88 If Spartans aren't allowed then the marines get slaughtered. If they're allowed then the vamps lose because they can't get past the energy shielding, can't dent Spartan armor and Spartans are stronger and faster than the vamps
The thing is both can be used for both. We've seen an ISD's octuple heavy turbolasers used to smack fighters, and we've also seen the quad lasers on say an Arquiten used against capital ships. They are specialized, yes, but not completely

I see it like this: turbolaser=cannon, laser=machinegun/autocannon, this is kind of simplified but is the best real world analogy I can give

Unless its some laser like the axial superlaser
Ion cannons would then be loading your cannon with chain-shot
Since all Star Wars combat is based on WW2 in one form or another, one might use this comparison to explain the Laser Cannon vs. Turbolaser divide:
Laser cannons are equivalent to autocannons such as the 40mm anti-air guns used on WW2 ships. Turbolasers are equivalent to full-sized naval guns, and the lighter ones can, like the ubiquitous 5-inch gun of the WW2 US Navy, be in defensive roles as well.
pretty much
5"/38?
They are dual purpose weapons.
Which means they cam be used and are often used as heavy AA.
Turbo Lasers = Slow Firing
Lasers = Fast Firing
Good Work on those names.
nah you're thinking of it wrong. its like a turbo in a car, it has to spool up overtime to give you more power. makes perfect sense
Dude its like 50mm cannon and a recoilless rifle. 50mm cannon is called cannon even though its a machine gun. And recoilless rifle is called rifle even though its an anti tank weapon.

Or does it? ...
Despite being called lasers, they are pretty much plasma cannons.
Some blasters are plasma guns but laser cannons and turbolasers are actually lasers (even though their bolts look the same).

Seems Legit Yeah, always thought that it's funny that they're called that when they're just about all hyper accelerated plasma weapons.

I've done some thinking about star wars weapons, and I think the term "Turbolaser Battery" usually refers to a set of turbolaser weapons that are bunched up together to focus all their firepower on the same target. A great visualization of this is the Bellator-class Star Dreadnought. You can visibly see the turrets grouped up into small clusters and large clusters rather than evenly distributed across the entire surface of the ship.
Yup, it's also commonly used to delineate a set of four turrets in a formation like you've described. Even if it's a grouping of eight, it'd be two batteries. Not taking into account number of barrels.

What about solid-beam lasers? You know, like on the RX-200 hover tank. Or the Flak guns on the CIS warships?
Cornelius McMuffin the RX-200 hover tank, LAAT and SPHA is using super lasers (it has the same tech as the Death star)
Beam lasers are also mounted on the LA/AT's bubble turrets.
Ya talk about Masers?
They're called compound beams, and are classified as superlasers
proton beams, actually. Not lasers, strictly speaking in real world terms those would be considered particle accelerators. Most proton beams are of the composite-beam type, where multiple proton beams are connected to deal more damage. Composite-beam weapons are also reffered to as 'lasers' of course, like most star wars energy weapons, but they arent literal lasers like our understanding of them.
There are a handful of non-composite-beam proton beam weapons though, such as the star destroyer Accuser and the Lancet aerial artillery.
You forgot Flak Cannons which were common on Seperatist ships and later Venator Carriers
Flak cannons?
3:46 If anyone is wondering what game that is. It’s called Space Engineers, it’s an amazing game with a huge mod and ship building community. It’s a space based building exploration game that has realistic voxel damage. I would suggest checking it out. If you want a familiar face, check out Captain Shack. He does Empire at War and Space Engineers.
Edit: I would like to add how there is a HUGE Star Wars community in Space Engineers. There are plenty of builds and mods for Star Wars stuff. The ARMCO mods for Star Wars shops is a good example. And Captain Shack is leading that modding team.
Realistic voxel damage lmao good one.
Great explanation, just what I've been looking for!
All we need now is to sort out exactly what missile does what - do they take down shields, do they go through shields, are they torpedoes, missiles -- Argh!
missles really work kinda like turbo-lasers but are individualy smaller because its a single munition instead of a huge gun connected to a reactor but if you but 200 munitions launchers on a ship the cost of all the missles builds up really fast so turbo-lasers are used more
What if Coruscant was invaded by The Thing?!? The Thing can mimic someone's presence in the force.
I second this
Coruscant is so big in terms of population that the moment it ends up over there for an hour it's already uncontainable
DUDE I WAS SUGGESTING A THING IDEA AS WELL
See, The Thing is OP af. The ONLY reason it didn't destroy all of humanity is because it hit the most secluded place on Earth. It'll take over Coruscant rather quickly thanks to the massive amount of beings.

Yaay EckhartsLadder has made a new video.
After I have watched the video:
Noo I don't know what to do now
Hope you found something to do after all these years
@@BierBart12 Yeah, waiting for Eckhartsladder to upload a video. xD
I had a cool idea for a ship: the Overlord-Class Battlecruiser (ship) These have turrets that slide along rails that run through the middle of the ship, and thus, the firepower can be spread in such a way that you can easily broadside someone, no questions asked. The ship is an irregular pentagon, with two massive turbolaser batteries near its engine bays. Only a few turrets actually slide, and these are medium-sized batteries. The super batteries on the sides can turn a little, but only up and down. It handles any assault pretty well, except for along the back, however, its sister ship class, the Overseer-class Heavy Cruiser, is a supercarrier which can provide massive fighter screens if need be.
3:52 ehy that picture is from Space Engineers!

Fun fact for anyone that was wondering why they don’t just nuke the spaceships: A conventional nuclear missile has an initial blast radius of about ten miles, so essentially everything within a 20 mile sphere would be either scorched or disintegrated entirely. However, the nuclear radiation from the blast, not limited by gravity or wind in a vacuum, would theoretically spread infinitely until it is pulled into a gravity well of some sort. For reference, roughly 4 conventional nuclear missiles would completely destroy the Supremacy, so it would be completely overkill on something like an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer.
2:02 I like how they made that blue laser from like 3 seconds of revenge of the Sith a whole objective for battlefront 2 2017. You gotta admit, EA sees a lot of missed details from movies that they can incorporate into their game
What was the objective?
DICE, not EA.
@Eye Above All I doubt that. What people think determines how much they make.
This vid popped up on my recommended and seeing the 3 year’s ago post date, I felt happy knowing I’ve spent over 3 years subbed and watching your content.
Old Republic Hammerhead vs Republic Dreadnought class Cruiser
Xwing vs Tie Hunter
Covenant Elite/Brute Honor Guard vs Emperor's Royal Guard or the CIS Magna Guard
The turbo laser canon weapons in Star Wars are essentially laser-generated plasma bolts, similar to the Imperial Las tech weapons from 40K, with the main difference only being more ammo is in the form of energy cells and fewer chances of blowing up, regular blasters use a combination of railgun & plasma ignited by laser to amp the power damage output, the main reason ionized gas is added to be converted into plasma is that laser beam itself that ignited the thermal plasma bolt used in the past would dissipate very quickly after exiting the barrel even after the improvement to the lens, weapons material for the pistols/riffles/canons, making conventional laser weapons useless, unless they were designed to work on the Turbo laser parameters,
But rail gun,mass accelerator tech exists in Star Wars and appears in the form of capital ship class weapons for delivering warheads similar to the Macro Canons of Imperium from 40K or the MAC guns from the Halo, alternatively, they can fire rockets if the need for long-range engagement against another capital ship or cluster ammo for dealing with fighters, these canons are very much broadside weapons,
Flak canon are as the name implies weapons designed to deal with enemy fighters by firing frgmentation projectiles at them akin to WW II ones, only bigger,
Particle canons also exist and are often seen on capital ships as replacements for the rail canons since they did not need ammo to being with
The old Sith Empire did use gravity weapons during the times of the Great Hyper Space but those are long gon,
Missiles are there in many shapes and forms, nuclear ones even but they make our looks silly, some versions can even target enemy ships in Hyperspace or be launched via hyperspace into a planet
Broadside does have combat merit though. You can more easily make straifing runs and take on multiple targets at once.
It also tends to minimize your target profile.
Nuclear weapons were used by the Mandalorians in Legends canon for planetary bombardment, launched from capital ships. It's also heavily implied that pre-Republic naval engagements and planetary sieges in Legends heavily involved nuclear ordinance. The Ash Worlds, a region of dead planets near Hutt Space, were said to bear the radioactive scars of nuclear bombardments, the result of a genocidal campaign by the Hutts against the colonial reaches of Xim the Despot's empire.
My theory is that nuclear weapons in the Star Wars universe became obsolete, which is why they weren't used very often.

Richard Ched a
lol wut?
IG-88 is sentient. The Terminator is not. The T. would get hacked so fast he'd turn into a simpletons toaster...
"Crossing the T" is a classic naval strategy that was used through WW2. The Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Eastern Visayan region in the Philippines was the last major use of this tactic. Turrets were movable in ~270 degrees horizontal and ~70 degrees vertical.
How about a Lore video on the Halo story so far. I get so confused about when things happened and with who?
Shadow Of Sundered Star I don’t know about that... Star Wars is famous for expanding on everything that can possibly be expanded on. There are frequently entire stories crafted around a single ship that appeared for seconds in the movies or another source. The universe is almost as fleshed out as our own. The Legends storyline goes before 25,000 BBY to after 150 ABY. The Canon is a lot less expansive, as it has only had 4 years to expand, but it is still incredibly well fleshed out.
Finally a Good, Understandable and Unbiased SW Video that Breaks down what's also my Fav Part of the Star Wars Universe, Fleet Vs Fleet Warfare! Despite taking place " A long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away " all Sides pretty much still use a lot of Tac/Strat from the Day's when Massive Ship of the Line's delivered huge Broadsides at each other, while Soldiers/Crew used Muskets to Snipe at each other.
stargate Milkyway Replicators Vs the Star Wars Galaxy Please!
Commander Lakar I think that the replicators would lose because the Empire had a much larger fleet.
But the Replicators could win if they could board as much Star Destroyers as possible
keep in mind the replicators borg like ability to adapt to powerful weapons like the plasma beams of the Asgard. I imagine replicator ships would adapt to turbo lasers and laser cannons within the first dozen battles and then the starwars universe would get totally owned.
The auto-generated Closed Captioning is actually really good on this video (and your others) for some reason; I suspect it's because you speak so clearly and understandably!

+dariomasi9 Actually it's been mentioned that while they can teleport to other universes they can't teleport to a SPECIFIC point within the same universe which is why they wanted to get the teleportation technology from Black Mesa so that means they'd still need to travel in space.
And of course they'd immediately reverse engineer the firsthyper drive they got ahold of to improve upon it then add it to their arsenal and make their job easier (That is if they didn't have something like it already.)

huh. turbo lasers look surprisingly like the big guns of battle ships in wwII.
Wonder why??.....(wink)
The Barrels are too short
They are essentially naval cannons, but instead of big hunks of steel its heated plasma. Laser cannons are more like a Bofors or an Orelikon anti aircraft weapons, and blasters are pretty much plasma slinging... well... guns
Yup! A lot of the stuff in SW is based off WWII tech, that's the reason it's red lasers for Rebels, and green for the Empire instead of the other way around. German tracers during WWII were green, and American were orange-y-red.
@@5peciesunkn0wn Kinda ironic associating America with a small rebellion, given that in WW2 (and today) it's probably the single most powerful country on the planet.
To make matters worse, the allies included the UK, which at the time very much still was a literal empire that spanned half the planet. (even if that empire wasn't so cohesive perhaps)
Although you can't claim them to be the good guys in any way, the Germans and especially the Japanese were very much the underdogs of that war. (as in they were relatively small countries that somehow got it into their head they could take on much bigger rivals.)
very well done, your videos are unique and i really enjoy them.
Delta squad vs noble team

Verry great vid m8! Could you go deeper on how mutch power laser cannons and projectiles have and how effective they are to certain armor how they handle lets say a few feet of iron plating or shields how they work and what they can take from certain weapons. I know this is a lot but i think all of your subs will apreciate it
Space is Naval?
Me: Jar Jar, where are your battleships?
Jar Jar Binks: Mesa use submarines wiz za ports open!
Me: No! I mean your capital ships that destroy other ships in space!
Jar Jar Binks: Well, me anty aircraft is throwing speers in se air!
Me: So that's how battleships die so easily...
Many sci-fi stories refer to a space force as a navy because they operate in similar manners. A navy consists of fleets of capital ships with smaller support ships and/or fighters, and so does a space force, so that's why the Imperial Navy refers to the star destroyers etc and not to water-based vessels.
I've got some good ideas!
*1.* 100 CR-90 Blockade Runners VS 1 Alligiance Star Destroyer
*2.* Tyrant Heavy Missile Cruiser VS World Devistator
*3.* Aclemator Class Assult Ship VS Nebulon B Frigate
*4.* Droid Control Ship VS Scarif Shield Gate
*5.* Tie Phantom VS Tie Defender
*6.* Imperial Class 3 Star Destroyer VS First Order Recergence Star Destroyer
*7.* T-800 Terminator VS IG-88
*8.* World Devistator VS Late Clone War Lukerhulk Droid Control Ship
So in essence a “turbo laser” would be like a tank cannon and a “laser cannon” would be like an AA gun
Marc Antonio Perez in a naval weaponry more like turbo laser is the ships secondary gun and the laser canons are its AA guns like 50 cal.
To expand upon what chrysller ryu said: Turbo lasers are the anti-ship (other naval vessels), bombardment (siege/anti-structure operations) 16in guns of WWII battleships. Laser cannons are the Bofors 40mm flak cannon and the .50 cal machine guns.
Bombardment: such as the naval bombardment of Iwo Jima prior to invasion by US troops.
Anti-ship: such as the Battle of Surigao Straight during the Battle of Leyte Gulf (the final ship-to-ship engagement involving crossing-the-T, or full broadside by an entire fleet against an opposing force, in history)
Anti-aircraft: ua-cam.com/video/jAxdgeHqpJA/v-deo.html many countries, including the US, still use the Bofors to this day. That is how versatile and powerful this weapon is.
yes exactly

A good way of explaining turbolasers vs. lasers would be to compare them to real-world naval weapons. A battleship for example would have its primary guns for engaging other capital ships, secondary guns to defend agianst smaller ships like corvettes or torpedo boats, anti-aircraft cannons and auto-cannons, which might also serve dual-purpose for defense against small ships.
Do a space battle between a UNSC battlegroup composed of 1 Punic-class supercarrier, 1 Marathon-class heavy cruiser, 6 UNSC destroyers, and 12 Paris-class heavy frigates and an Imperial squadron composed of 3 Vindicator-class heavy cruisers, 1 Acclamator-class assault ship, 4 Carrack-class light cruisers, 4 Lancer-class frigates, and 2 Vigil-class corvettes.

I'd like to see your source for durasteel being weaker than titanium.
Good lord. Disney''s new canon is fucking moronic. Still, I'm using Legends ships in this matchup, so that wouldn't apply here.
It's moronic when space travellers make ships that are less durable than modern tanks and have primary anti-capital-ship weapons that are weaker than 1980s hand-held rocket launchers. The pathetic "orbital bombardment" of the rebel base in Rebels made me want to choke everyone involved with the project. At least the later Legends stuff fairly consistently portrayed relatively realistically-powerful warships. Until that damn Clone Wars show (the new one, obviously).
The best comparison I can think of for turbolasers vs laser cannons (and this is mainly because I've been playing craploads of World of Warships lately) is naval artillery vs anti-air emplacements on WWI/WWII-era ships.
Naval artillery is used for ship-to-ship combat, just like turbolasers are. Artillery is slow and heavy, limiting its usefulness against aerial craft (starfighters and bombers, in Star Wars). Like turbolasers, it comes in different calibres relative to the size of the vessel: destroyers and light cruisers will carry smaller guns, generally in single or double gun arrangements, while heavy cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships will have much heavier ordinance which tend to be mounted in triple or even quadruple gun turrets. While smaller artillery calibres will rotate and reload faster than their heavier counterparts, they're all too slow and cumbersome to hit aerial craft.
Anti-air guns, however, are the opposite. Fast-firing and moving, they're much more suitable for hitting smaller, nimbler targets like aircraft. While you *could* turn them on other sea-faring ships, their shorter range and much smaller calibre will ensure they have limited to no effect on the larger, more heavily-armoured vessels. As such, anti-air guns are reserved solely for that purpose: fending off aircraft.
Galactic Republic vs The Borg
or
Covenant vs The Borg
CrossedSpace The Galactic republic wouldn't win the only way they could win would be if the Jedis somehow can board the ships or learn Clone Troopers to fight with melee weapons cause Borg Drones can adapt long range weapons and also turbolasers
CrossedSpace the republuc could win with star fighter numbers and stretegy, but the borg would have numbers in capital ships. The republic also has less territory than the empire.
CrossedSpace the covenant would also lose not having efficient numbers but capital ships like carriers, and weaponry could carry them to victory.
Shadow Of Sundered Star The First battle would be won by the Covenant but the Borg had technology that made them discover what sort of weapons ships used and then made their shields so the weapons couldn't do any damage to them so I think the Borg would win and they had a fleet of atleast 7000 borg cubes

Top 5 heroes of the rebel alliance
Nice halo 5 Spartan armor dude
No members of the Rebel Alliance is a hero. They are terrorists fighting against the legitimate, stable government. They may have individual good people, but they are not heroes.
One of my favorite sci-fi novels of all time is called A Choice of Treasons by JL Doty. One of the reasons it's my favorite is because even though Doty is actually a laser physicist he refuses to use them in his story. Instead capital ship weapons are cannons that actually launch nuclear warheads into hyperspace, so the shells can cross hundreds of millions of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Capital ship nukes act more like a EMP weapon in space unless they impact the hull of a vessel directly. In the latter case the explosion is sort of weaker than it should be in the atmosphere and the resulting decompression is likely to kill more.
Can the separatists invade earth during terminator rule? (Have to stay in atmosphere)
The terminators are far more superior than most of the battle droids so it's highly unlikely but the T-800 didn't fair well at all against direct energy weapons so Skynet would have to start mass producing T-850s if it didn't already.
Yes quite easily
Spartan Abrams---I think the Terminators would win that fight. Just saying.
Insert name here Plasma Rifles were far more destructive than Star Wars blasters despite being more primitive. A single Plasma Bolt from an HK Tank is Able to Obliterate a human being in a steam explosion whereas the similar scale AT-ST Blaster Cannon rounds just leave a small size hole in a person's body and flinging him back a few feet. A T-800 can tank a few Plasma Rounds before going down. A B2 Super Battle Droid can't take more than 2 hits from a Blaster.
+Richard Ched If that's the case then Skynet wouldn't even need the T-850s because the units it already has could survive dozens of shots which is and even easier win.

Starship trooper vs space marines
Ethan Rodriguez I love Star Wars but space marines would dominate
+Ethan Rodriguez That's not even a warm up for space marines. Not to be a fanboy, but you're talking about a bunch of baseline human conscripts with basic projectile weaponry versus genetically modified supersoldier veterans of hundreds of wars wearing powerarmor capable of surviving nukes and wielding guns that are essentially machinegun missile launchers.
Shrike that's is sooo overpowered
+Simon Rozze Kinda, but not compared to the stuff they fight. The 40k Universe is a *very* unpleasant place.
Question, I remember during an episode of star wars the clone wars, droids were loading canisters into cannons situated on the side of a providence class ship. Was curious if those acted in a similar fashion to how our brass casings work in our bullets or if they were fired and destroyed in the process.
Halo marines vs the vampire things from the movie priest
+Blood Reaper 88 That's a tough one... are Spartans and Master Chief involved or can be allowed in this?
+Blood Reaper 88 If Spartans aren't allowed then the marines get slaughtered. If they're allowed then the vamps lose because they can't get past the energy shielding, can't dent Spartan armor and Spartans are stronger and faster than the vamps
+coming up on infra-red I'm guessing since he said Marines and Spartans are well Spartans that would be a no but hey we get Johnson.
coming up on infra-red I agree with you
coming up on infra-red Maybe on Spartan to make it far
The thing is both can be used for both. We've seen an ISD's octuple heavy turbolasers used to smack fighters, and we've also seen the quad lasers on say an Arquiten used against capital ships. They are specialized, yes, but not completely
