We need "Bring The Rain" to be a Star Wars movie quote.

I would love a vehicle based combat game from Star Wars. Kinda like War Thunder but Star Wars stuff, as realistic (Star Wars realistic anyway) as possible

Having served as a Fire Support Sergeant with the military for two decades, I give this one two thumbs up and a mighty yell of "Danger Close!" Great vid, Allen! Keep 'em coming! MTFBWY!

The other reason you don't just use orbital bombardment, is that you glass the planet, that's a potentially valuable, inhabitable planet and all its resources gone. Even in 40K, the Imperium doesn't just call down Exterminatus at the drop of a hat, despite the memes, because planets are valuable, certainly far more valuable than a glassed, irradiated dead rock.

My fan theory regarding rotary (and other repeating types) blaster weapons is that not only doe it help with heat dispersion but also that residual plasma builds up in the barrel (as well as other parts) messing with the electromagnetic fields focusing subsequent shots. So rotary action (as well as other clearing mechanism) lead to a more consistent performance.

A rebel ground squad leader shouting broken arrow to a squadron would be so raw. I want it.

I never knew why we rarely saw landmines and held antitank missle launchers used in combat in the star wars universe.
A great video as always!

“Clankers in the open, fire for effect.”

As a retired 13F, this got me in the feels. Nicely done brother.

The droid army had a damn Cylon looking gunship.

[bsquaredbundles]

You forgot the Rebel missle artillary vehicles from Empire At War. Those things were terrifying. Any time I saw their scout drones zipping across the battlefield I would panic, pull my main forces back, and send out scout troopers on speeder bikes or tie mauler tanks on a desperate search and destroy suicide mission before my entire army got obliterated.

“Reinforcements reporting, open up.”
“Didn’t say please!”

When it comes to fire support, there is never enough Dakka.

[jeghaterdegforfaen]

The Death Star wasn't a fire support system. And in the same vein, one of the reasons you might be hesitant to use it, or even orbital bombardment, would be if you wanted to capture your target intact. Maybe the planet in question is friendly, but occupied by hostile forces. If you want to liberate the planet, destroying it or making it uninhabitable is out of the question.

"Broken Arrow!"

"BROKEN ARROW! I SAY IT AGAIN! BROKEN ARROW! WE HAVE BROKEN ARROW!"

"Broken Arrow confirmed."

"BROKEN ARROW CONFIRMED!"

"Broken Arrow?"

"It means an entire American unit has been overrun. Calls for every combat aircraft for support."

"My God, there is no hiding it now."

[therobotwalrus]

Great video as always! sure do love when my own faction blows my entire position up.

[CloneScavengerVulpin]

General grievous was also known for using orbital bombardment.

Your outline for the sequel trilogy sounds wonderful and very fulfilling with the character arcs and actually aligned with the og trilogy and Star Wars universe.
I hope you make your version of the sequels. ❤

This reminds me of one of generation tech’s older videos back in the day.
