Congrats on skyrocketing to your goal. Saw the minisode. Loved the motion comic animation, good script, voice acting needs some work. I get it’s not the finished product and simply showing what you has enough done but critisium helps. Especially in early works.

Question: I gave about $4, and it said I’d get some sort of reward. Just wondering when/where that would come :) I assume it would be over email.

Wish I could get behind that...but I didn't enjoy it.

WatchForIce Just saying, he said it was a rough sketch and very rudimentary/low quality. But it’s OK if you still don’t like it, just maybe check out an official episode when it comes, vs just a pilot.

I have a question about Halo wouldn't it have been more effective to have hundreds of small MAC cannons in turrets because hundreds of smaller rounds hitting a shield would have had the same or more mass then one or even 2 of the larger MAC rounds and have also caused more damage to the shields system

That's basically what it is. They were civilian transports first, so it is, as if you attached two guns at a normal car and are like: Let's try it, what could go wrong!

and dont forget, they weren't even design for hoths climate either

Jonas Brauer the technical of the starwars universe

"here is a 50 cal and a bicycle, MacGyver that shit for us"

The Volkswagen bug was originally designed so it cold be converted to a light tank with a couple of medium or heavy machine guns. Similar thought process to this it seems.

It's kind of amazing to think a sliver of the Imperial war machine was harassed and brought down on Hoth by a small group of flying tugs.

somehow Im imagining the Snowspeeder just going into a colony, grappling cargo containers that are out in the open, and then towing them back to the base for supplies, while the pilots just say "Yoink!"

Hmmmm, Yeah I can see that....and knowing the rebellion is probably happened.

William Byrd. Especially on a world were these craft are already common place, an extra crate of or two of parts here an there would go completely unnoticed by anyone. Also with many of these moving around, it would be hard to tell which ones on the sensors was the real target. Fighters or other craft responding to an attack would be confused as to which ones to follow if the attackers just blended in to the traffic.

I hadn't thought of using ground traffic as sensor camo...just a another perk to these underpowered under gunned"useless gnats" just from a technical and tactical point of view kind of wimpy...but if ya look at some non technical, strategic and tactical aspects...they seem a lot more useful . all this talk has me imagining an Imperial convoy suddenly beginning to explode as a flight of T47s painted up to resemble yard tugs or delivery vehicles burst out of an old warehouse district to shoot up the supply and troop carriers then heads down a busy transit way heading for the wilderness...Speeder bikes and TIE Fighters screaming in to pursue. The TIE fighters have to break off due to buildings bridges and then trees, while the speeder bikes have to swap shots with the rear gunner of the fleeing T47s..all the time the commander is swamped by reports of vehicles that look like the fleeing vehicles all over the place. a nice visual sequence of Speeders and speeder bikes going ballistic down crowed streets, though alleyways, then out into the forests as the Tie Fighters come streaming in for occasional strafing funs through the overhead cover.... Then a nice climatic scene where the t47s run out of trees and have to break into the open ... TIEs in hot pusuit... just as they get in range the lead TIE explodes and a flight of T65 X-wings. or Headhunters rips into the pursuing imperials. I'd pay to see that LOL...

@@wbnc66 I tend to go the more sneaky route. A small group of about 4 or 5 speeders with camo'd, snap-on weaponry. In amongst many ordinary ones delivering stuff to an imperial base of some sort (rocket pods are my favorite). These once inside the defenses suddenly drop their camo like an old Q-ship and launch their payload at their targets. Before the guards can respond and in the confusion of regular ones running, the attackers make their escape to pre-arranged wharehouses where the weapons pods are quickly removed and new cargo is attached so they blend back into the back ground as legit cargo haulers while the imperials search for them in vain.

Thats... a very rebel thing to do.

I can just imagine a frustrated rebel maintenance technician, dumping a bunch of Y-wing armour plates in some inconsequential storage Bay, finally glad to be rid of the things, leaving just before a very stressed out engineer walks in, needing A quiet area to think, having no success in solving The survivability issues of the new commercial AirSpeeders The alliance had just acquired..........

Yes and I still have more tie kills in a t-47 than I do in an A-wing or X-wing

hmmm maybe a new spin off series "sky wars: battle in heavens"

We did get the Tie Striker in Rogue one

Or General Veers. His AT-AT got rammed by a snowspeeder.

Or maybe it’s admiral Ozzel from beyond the grave lol after all “he is clumsy as he is stupid”

*forgets oxygen and dies of asphyxiation*

i always wondered if they could modify these speeders for space use

@@devildavin they probably could but the modifictions would be so extensive that effectively they would be designing and building a completely new vehicle, they would have to: reinforce the frame to make it completely airtight or add a spacesuit to the pilot, add some kind of heat sheild for atmospheric reentry add some kind of engine because repulsorlifts only work close to the ground, add thrusters for manouverbility in space install far more extensive heat regulation systems (because in space temperatures of +/-150c are not uncommon) and those are just off the top of my head

@@devildavin you probably could but itd take some time

War Machine: God, Tony, how old is this kid?

"You remember that part on the ice planet, with the walking thingies?"

There is no way a nerd like Peter Parker doesn't know what an AT-AT is!

Iron Man:"I think the kid's onto something." War Machine:"Go high,Tony. Go high."

@@DimoB8 maybe they were concerned about too much copyright? Or did Disney own Lucasfilm when Civil War came out?

I had a lego model of one of these when i was kid! I still do! and an X-wing!

Well there's a lego sand speeder now. shop.lego.com/en-US/product/Sandspeeder-75204

Bradley Callaway But the only LEGO Sandspeeder is from 2017... You are still a kid.

X-Wing no he’s referencing the snowspeeder varient, not the sandspeeder

Alex Boehm Oh... r/wooosh to me.

Until they started using their cables....then they did more than just bother.

That wouldnt work either, there are two spots on the AT AT that are very vunerable to Blaster fire as they are not armored. The first is right behind the head of the AT AT where it connects to the Cargo Hold. If you blast there it will cause an explosion and severe the head from from the AT AT. The other place is to the rear of the AT AT between the rear legs. That is the fuel tank for the entire AT AT and some well aimed blast will cause this think to explode. Also if you were to release the snow troopers, exactly what the AT AT's did to the Rebels is what the T-47 would do to the snow troopers not to mention the Rebels already had troops on the ground so it wouldnt be hard to pick them off

Brian, Daniel has done a video on Serenity. Search for Firefly under the Playlists. I second the other suggestions.

Anzac-A1 he gave him to his anger

literal sarcasm Isis did it pretty well with their Toyota pick ups

@@Marcus51090 I know.

literal sarcasm did we ever find out how they where getting their hands on all those new trucks ???? Cause Toyota said they where not selling them to them

@@Marcus51090 probably whoever is providing funding for their operations.

Contemporary air defenses at the time of Hoth might make ground strikes by unshielded snubfighters very bloody affairs. Imagine a battlefield where ground forces can engage any target in their line of sight at near light speed velocities with laser cannons and the idea of air strikes becomes very dangerous (remember the Rebels at Echo Base had weapons emplaced that could knock out Imperial Star Destroyers, I can imagine they had ones that could handle a TIE bomber too). TIEs are very likely good at taking care of civilian targets or hounding isolated Rebel ground troops on the run but against prepared defenses, their lifespan would be considerably lower. IRL we are seeing that precision artillery with guided munitions deployed at the company or even squad level is taking the place of air strikes as even man-portable air defenses are getting sufficiently good to take care of attacking bombers or helicopters; I could see that by the time Star Wars type weapons come into existence having heavily armored ground vehicles is the only thing you can hope to advance on the enemy with, we were almost there during the Cold War with the IFV and the idea that infantry was going to fight from inside an armored box on tracks because the battlefield was going to be filled with so much radiation and poison gas that nothing else was feasible.

Even some Tie Bombers would of speed things up for the empire

the main reason for this was the Shield generator. High-speed aircraft would just slam into it like a brick wall, yet slow, lumbering walkers can walk right through. (points to the Clone Wars series for better explanations.) Had Ozle not been an idiot, they would have gotten the drop on them and had the air support they needed, resulting in the battle being over a lot faster than it was.

@@zerosen2141 thanks, watching this video just made me wonder why.

@@zerosen2141 Could have just dragged them through the barrier on cables or even parked them on top of the Walkers and taken off again once through. The big question is why didn't the Rebels use X Wings or even Y Wings inside the shield to slaughter the AT-AT's? If your can handle deep space your can handle icy conditions.

In the novelization, the T-47s are blown up along with other heavy equipment, to prevent capture by the Empire.

I don't know why they would bother. The Empire would probably view it all as worthless garbage and use it for target practice.

@@KEVMAN7987 There might have been data on the computers the rebels wouldn't want the Empire to have. Plus why make anything convient for your enemy.

@@chaotik7853 Haha, yes they make trailors for three wheelers.

Proton torpedoes anyone? But the real reason is to sell more toys.

Other sources, like West End Games RPG, publish a 300m AGL (above ground level) ceiling, typical of most airspeeders.

Well, technically you can (sort of) negate the danger, by simply not moving. But I see no reason to stop at all. Just keep two walker in close formation and this tactic would not be possible.

His name was Davin Felth, upon informing General Veers of the vulnerability of the walkers he finds his ass transferred to the Stormtrooper Corps and deployed to Tatooine.

Well uhh the pilot can look forward and side to side and the Gunner does the same in the opposite direction (I don't know if I worded this properly) and yeah there is a pilot and a Gunner you were saying this as if there is only the pilot in the cockpit I mean seriously how can someone pilot facing backwards?

Not much worse than the tail gunners of WW2 bombers. They too flew backwards.

@@moriskurth628 if they were just gunners then there should be a pilot facing forward in the front of the plane or in a position where you can actually see where your piloting/flying

@@TaunTaunTundra4477 The Snow Speeder does have a crew of 2. The pilot that faces forward, and the gunner that faces backwards. The gunner only has to worry about what he sees in the rear, not what's going on in the front. And if a target opportunity comes up, the two obviously talk to one another, like "Making our run. Prepare the harpoon, we'll pass the Walker now.", since they have to work together as a team. They aren't both looking backwards. That would be ridiculous.

Rear facing gunners are quite common on ground attack aircraft that the T-47 seems similar to. For example the IL-2 or JU-87 from WWII. It was also common on naval bombers like the SBD Dauntless or TBD Devastator.
