      Good thing the Russians are NOT supplying the Taliban with anti-air and anti-tank missiles. Wonder why? The Chinese had no problem selling anti-tank weapons to the Syrian rebels so why not the Afghans? That kind of stuff would have ended US involvement in Afghanistan years ago. Something fishy about that and the fact NO ONE is talking about it.

    Maybe its price tag doesn't account the missiles?
    Not bad a design. Though placing the fuel tank and missile RIGHT on top of each other is a clear design flaw. I'm gonna assume that the reason Ahsoka was able to just brush up a mid-laser cannon shot its cause the cannon itself was far from an effective state after the crash. Honestly, its a testament to the engineers that it was still functional enough to let out a weak shot at all.
    Surprise the ray shield triggers with the thermal detonator and rocket launchers. Ray shields only deflect energy bolt like blasters and such. Projectile based weapons aren't suppose to be effected and just pass right through with no issue.

    • @SwiftGundam
      @SwiftGundam 5 років тому +1

      You mixed up particle and ray. Its specifically stated to defend against objects and energy respectably. Individually or both can be colloquially called deflector shields.
      For cost saving measures, it likely only has a ray shields since its very uncommon for non-energy weapons to be used on the battlefields of Star Wars, for some reason.

    • @DIEGhostfish
      @DIEGhostfish 5 років тому +4

      It possibly has a light particle shield, just enough to shove the detonator away before it exploded to lessen the damage taken, not enough to counterthrust against a full rocket. Or it redirected its repulsors up to knock the grenade away and the shield triggered because part of the explosion was thermal energy.

    I kind like the droids being able to talk its adds for interesting dialog. I like in the movie a how B1 battle droid complemented on a dwarfs spider droids shooting skills as if it were a dog. I also enjoyed the B1s insulting each other from time to time or not listening to there command droids. Like at one planet hunting down yoda and his clone body guards I said stop and then subordinate says why. We won't fit in there and the subordinate is like yes we can and then tells his AAt drive to push on only to crash into the coral style barriers and then gets thrown out of his tank cupola. Then the command droid says next time listen to orders. Or B2 being controlled by yoda shooting his allies don't shoot I am having a serious malfunction and they still shoot him anyways lol. I could just picture the Gunship saying okay here are boys I comeback late to pick you when the jobs done. Or if you guys don't stop arguing i am turn around lol. So what if its less scary. The clones are very serious and not many of them have alot of humour but they are suppose be close brothers in battle so they have to depend on each other. Wheres Droids being even more expendable and programmed they are more or less co workers than battle brothers so it kinda to be expected in seeing this kinda nonsense at least with B1 and B2 battle droids. Its funny listening to high pitched noises to the vulture droids to lol.

  • @johnwillsea6600
    @johnwillsea6600 5 років тому +1

    The nice thing about modular emplacements is that what is put on it is usually aftermarket buys meaning there goes two of your laser cannons and your missle launchers leaving you with racks for droids engines cooling vents, a repulsorlift and your 5 medium laser cannons though those dual medium laser cannons have the same lighter punch when their shots don't converge on one target hence why they're fixed together they will even have reduced range when not traveling together. Similar gun emplacements are used in the Rebellion and are put on z-95 headhunters so when your bolts hit the same place the bolts penatrate deeper into enemy armor. Han uses this to great affect in the Han Solo triliogy (the book series that spawned the Star wars EU) when he defends the people fixing his ship from the corporate sector authority.
