Damn that water looks good.
Cant wait for rogue one, hopefully they add in a few teasers for the next one in the TFA trilogy, or tie it in (beyond the obvious)
>rebels out in the open
>misses
>direct confrontation with an ATAT in the first place
Its gonna be copypaste '3 dudes kill everyone' hollywood action isnt it...
>>29534910
Did you expect anything else?
Why the fuck doesn't the new rupub not have an army to stop this bullshit by turboniggerlasering from orbit?
>>29534932
I was kinda hoping the Empire would actually be a threat this time. Oh well.
Flank it, take out joints, optics, blind windows, attack the rear, flamethrower it like a Nazi bunker as soon as any hatches open.
>>29534868
Anti-armor weapons, aim for the legs.
Probably
>droid with seismic sensors to detect them before seeing them
>macrobinoculars
>extensive camouflage gear to allow for allowing them to pass by/over.
Honestly you could probably get under it and just shoot anyone who tries to rappel out, right?
I thought the AT-AT main guns had insane splash damage.
Why did the emperor move on from the objectively superior design of the AT-TE?
It has guns that point in all directions and a design that won't fall over after losing a leg.
>>29535011
They usually do but conveniently don't when it's shooting at important characters
>>29534868
literally just engage it in hilly/mountainous terrain.
it has a ridiculous turret dead zone and mountainous terrain would fuck its legs up/beat them to hell/topple it
Guerrilla warfare best warfare
>>29535021
This has been true since the 70s.
I have grown up and have come to accept plot armor, and just generally enjoy the ride.
Still get triggered by the first ones boarding scene. Did now and in 77-78 as a kid.
>>29535019
The look of the AT-AT is clearly meant to instill fear. Think about how far away you can see it.
>>29535011
Those weren't the main guns. But I guess whoever was in charge of sound design for this trailer either wanted to use the sound of the main guns, or didn't remember that part of the Battle of Hoth where the side guns were used.
>>29535019
because IFT-X best mech
SW-BF1 and 2 are the only real star warses
>>29534938
This is from the new movie coming out in December, set during the Rebellion era. There's only the Rebellion and Empire then, no Republic at all.
>>29535093
Most likely still working on the sound for the movie, it comes out at the end of the year. They threw the trailer together, as all first trailers are.
John williams however does it again. Fuck man, that imperial theme at the end sounds dark as fuck, and the trailers music was spot on, even with the klaxon alarm.
Do you think any of the spinoff movies are going to be set in the clone wars?
I kind of want to see more of them, or at least a depiction that isn't some kids' show or video game.
>sappers lay mines
>deny area that atats can use
>use terrain to advantage
>run troopers through rat tunnels with shoulder fired weapons, target legs

>bombard it from space
>scramble hover tanks, get on its flanks and under foot
>swarm with heavy troopers and grappling hooks on speeder bikes
>>29535093
>>29535123
On a semi-related note, I'm going to have to just accept that every movie is going to have at least one trailer ridden with something inspired by that horn from Inception, aren't I?
>>29535176
>target the legs
The "neck" is also a fairly weak point if you can get shots on target.
>>29535179
The downword base sound did not start with inception, hell the matrix had it.
Cruise up to them on a land speeder. Tie a rope with grenades on it around the legs. Down comes the most nonsensical tank ever.
>>29535081
What triggers you about it?
Were they designed by Salvador Dali or something?
>>29535227

>>29535227
>tank
Here we go again.
AT-ATs are a kind of self-propelled artillery and troop transport rolled into one, not meant to be an MBT analogue. Although if your enemy is poorly prepared/equipped enough (see Hoth), you can get away with using them as front line units.
I would join the Empire
>>29535497
>troop transport
>10 mph
>cant walk up steep hills
what were they thinking?
>>29535588
They weren't
My best guess is that the AT-AT serves a purpose similar to the tank during WW1, and crush positions infantry can't reach, and breach the way for the footmen
I don't really like star wars and i don't really visit /k/ but that's my fist thought if i see a slow heavy vehicle that CANNOT FUCKING STEER
>>29535588
Psychological effect? Troop transport doesn't seem to be its primary role, it was probably an afterthought when some designer realized "hey, this heavily armored walker has some extra space"
Or maybe Kuat Drive Yards suffered a Bradley-tier clusterfuck of trying to design something for multiple purposes at once.
>>29534868
I would run at it, at a slow jog, across open ground. Of course.
Pretty disappointed in this one honestly. They told us it was going to be about a bunch of rebel soldiers, in the tradition of many great war movies, but this is juat another star wars wacky adventure, crossed with probably a bad heist movie.
>>29534868
I would choose to be six miles away next to an artillery battery. Or fire the guided missiles or photon torpedoes or whatever that they surely have given this is a world of space ships and lasers and stuff.
>>29534983
That's what they tried on Hoth. It didn't work very well.
>>29535588
Unless something major changed recently they move about 45 kph.
>>29535110
>dat two-men syndrome
>dat exposed gunner
>dem vision ports on a flat survace rather than periscopes on/over a slope
>Jesus Christ dat exposed gunner
At least the sloping is good.
Fly my T-47 land speeder around it, fire magnetic cable onto one of its legs, fly around the AT-AT until it trips itself on the cable, if that fails, crash my T-47 land speeder, fire my magnetic cable belt up to its belly, cut a hole in its belly and throw a V-59 concussion grenade into it and bail.
>>29534868
I'd wear my ewok onesie. everyone knows that teddies with rocks > advanced war machines.
>>29535588
>>29535619
>>29535657
The entire point was to have this big, fuckhuge machine covered with enough shields and armor that your enemies have to deploy a disproportionate amount of firepower to damage it while it mounts giant fucking blaster cannons to fuck shit up before deploying a platoon of troops to kill anything still alive once it reaches its destination. "You're gonna die, and you can't do shit about it," is the primary design statement of the AT-AT and falls in with the general Imperial philosophy of rule by fear, the Tarkin Doctrine.
The Empire is also a massive military-industrial welfare state with interplanetary defense contractors having extremely entrenched interests in the government with Palpatine pouring massive amounts of funds into weapons manufacturers so that he can cement his position as Emperor and fulfill his weapon fetish.
>>29534932
Part of me was hoping for a Rebel Commando sort of thing. Seems pretty dumb looking back but whatever.
>>29535573
>I would join the Empire
like every 12 year old white boy wihtout self esteem
>>29534910
>>29535011
>>29535093
If they keep some the legends timeline these will be prototype AT-ATs. If you notice these are much skinnier and have different cheek blasters (hard points) then the Episode V AT-ATs.
I wonder how a wound like this looks like?
perfectly round cut, without bleeding. like a cross section.
>>29536024

>>29536095
That is a high power plasma bolt, you would explode into steaming chunks of gore.
Mines, lot of them.
Low tech alternative : dig big fucking holes, cover them with plates strong enough to support people but not enough for a several tons behemoth. Lure them in with retreating infantry, then board the imobilized walkers.
>>29536164
This. Flash-boils your blood, affects you like a potato put in a microwave too long.
It isn't the neat, cauterized little holes that kill you from hand blasters; its them cooking you from the inside out. Which is also why getting stabbed with a lightsaber is almost always portrayed as lethal.
>>29535817
Oh, I didnt know that.
>>29536163
Fuck you Lucas for not doing the Thrawn trilogy. It would have been god-tier.
>>29535179
Well in this case it was interesting because it was the 'ship's alarm' sound. Think more Alien or Prometheus inspired than Inception.
>>29536138
>Vong
Please leave and never come back
>>29536251
Loved how Wedge described it in Wraith Squadron, and that if a pilot took a direct hit from a blaster they'd have to hose out what was left of him from the cockpit.
>>29535081
What >>29535298 asked. I think it was, given the situation, a very impressive boarding action. The kill/death ratio in favor of the Stormtroopers was absurd.
>>29537908
Indeed. Given the narrow hallway they were breaching into, with something like a dozen rebels pointing weapons at the only way in, they did incredibly well.
>>29537908
From what I can tell they assault a narrow corridor defended by a dozen people and kill nearly all of them while only taking two casualties.
>>29534868
>Chin-mounted heavy laser cannons
>>29536024
Dude. The rebels are like so non-iconic, I can't even remember what their soldiers look like until I google them.
Only thing ever cool about them was their ABC fighters.
>>29534868
>dig a fuckton of holes

>empire realizes the base is too heavily defended to take conventionally
>uses a noncanon EU superweapon like the suncrusher to cheeki breeki the whole planet/system because yolo
It's not like this hasn't been done before.
Why would two non-repeating borderline semi-automatic blasters be a worthwhile choice for anti-personnel use?
The AT-AT's weapons package is fucking stupid. Give it a blaster M61A2 Vulcan equivalent.
The vehicle design may be fucked but at the very least fix the weapons package.
>>29538388
>U.S. Army actually using modern cameras to film shit

ftfy
just dig a bunch of holes and set up fougasses so the legs just end up getting BTFO when the walkers get close.
>>29536024
Strategically thinking and from a practical stand point the Empire is the way to go by all rights they should have won but if you have a reason to be butt hurt with them ie they murdered your family then go rebel just food for thought
>>29538463
Actually in star wars the plasma from turbolazers does explode.
>>29535588
>10 mph
More like 40, fool.
>>29538521
What the fuck uniform is that? some kind of alternate TIE flightsuit?
>>29538365
If you know they're coming, with just enough time and resources to dig in and ready up, this is probably the best option available. An impending orbital bombardment would be would be up for debate if you decided to hold an Alamo on top of a high-value asset both parties want in as big of one piece as possible.
That having been said, if the Empire catches you with your pants down, and is about to make you bottom for a rousing role playing game of asymmetric warfare, you better hope you have some highly mobile and deathly potent anti-armor on your shoulders.

tell me more about your complete understanding on laser cannons and their effects in the star wars universe.
>>29541745
Anon's on the right track, most Star Wars weapons are more like plasma weapons than lasers.
>>29541745
It's a massive chunk of energy.
Energy radiates.
The area immediately next to a laser bolt will contain a portion of the heat radiating from said laser bolt. The amount of heat given off in the immediate vicinity by a weapons grade laser beefy enough to be considered heavy in a universe full of portable fusion reactors should be equivalent to standing directly next to a blast furnace without wearing any protective gear.
This doesn't require an in depth knowledge of how lasers work in Star Wars, just a basic understanding of junior high school physics.
>>29535019
>>29541661
Kinda sad the Clone Wars-era equipment still looks more advanced and aesthetically pleasing than anything in The Force Awakens.
>>29541745
Well, since the work thanks to the magic of imagination, its not hard to understand really.
If the writer wanted to, that bolt could kill everyone in the scene.
>>29535864
It's been done.
>>29541836
the Empire has always taken form over function, they were all about intimidation through appearance which is why they often had huge projects that were bigger and more grand than they needed to be.
>>29538463
>bolts of barely contained plasma at millions of degrees don't do horrific things to everyone within several meters of the impact point
It's like you don't even grasp that they blow up when they hit things friendo
>>29541895
I think the fact that the empire was born in the late 70s and the clone wars are from the late 2000s has something to do with it.
>>29541895
The Empire are literally space Nazis, and the oldest trope in the book about any variety of Nazis is that they will waste a shitload of time and money on grandiose wonder-weapons projects that only exist to stroke the not-fuhrer's ego.
>>29541705
Considering that the movie should end with them transmitting the plans to Leia's ship, I expect a low survivor count.
>>29542153
Now that I think about it, this has the potential to be some Halo Reach tier shit.
Hopefully without the shitting on established canon part.
>>29542153
>>29542239
this is what I'm hoping. they have the room to kill all the new characters as the story is already established and it's understood that most agents who worked to get the plans died in the process. also with the dude who did the new Godzilla directing I hope to see him do some neat shit with Vader, not much screen time but the time he does get will show his brutality and badassness to the fullest extent.

On the ground hordes of light infantry with RPG / LAW and ATGM systems mounted on fast and nimble dune buggy style vehicles with roll cages.
>>29544073
If we took that concept and applied Stars Wars tier armament equivalents id heartily agree.
The rebels need an A-10 equivalent. Those things in Empire Strikes Back with the gay laser and hook/line are shit.
>>29543870
They smell like Imperial Commando's.
Which means they're most likely going to be Spaarti-clones (complete dumbshits but apparently can shoot straight) or, less likely due to mass desertion, kaminoan-borne clone commandos
>>29544088
They had the Y-Wings, which are their main-line attack-bombers I think
>>29544088
>The rebels need an A-10 equivalent
They have one.

BOOOAAAAAAAAAAAH

>>29544112
Are you trying to imply normal Stormtroopers cant shoot straight?
I think the 'stormtroopers cannot hit' meme is the best way to tell who is actually too fucking stupid to pay attention when they watch films.

You are confusing Luke with Wedge.

Althought, blasters got less and less powerfull over the other movies
>>29540349
All those norwegians getting slaughtered
Glorious
>>29544198
Is that what you think? because they literally have never hit a single target across like 7 movies. Maybe you are just stupid?
>>29544198
Are you really one of those assholes who thinks that the Stormtroopers deliberately miss so the heroes can lead them to more HVTs? Because they only did that ONCE, to lead them to Yavin 4.
Stomtroopers are expert shots when it comes to no-name rebels when they boarded the ship in ep 4, assault the base in ep 5, and kill rebels before the plot-ruining ewoks came into the mix in ep 6 but somehow they suddenly lose their shit when it comes to hero characters in each of those movies? I get the fact that they're having to run and gun as they're being shot at and they may affect their accuracy and the fact they're conscripts for the most part, but for fucks sake the helmets they're issued come with graphical displays of gun sights, meaning they don't need to aim down their sights to be able to know where they're be hitting
So yes, I am saying that FOR HERO CHARACTERS that Stormtroopers can't shoot straight

You would actually become a bomb.
Every drop of fluid in your body would expand to a cloud of steam 1,600 times it's original size. And it would do this very quickly, propelling bone fragments and pieces of gear on a wave of superheated steam. Basically, you would become a human-shaped boiler explosion.

It was what they had handy. Those speeders weren't even combat vehicles to begin with. Even the tow cable trick was an act of desperation, the cable was meant for pulling cargo.
