      @@darthgamer2014 Star wars vehicle design and doctrine just doesn't make sense to me... Oh sure I can enjoy the content, but really, the sheer reliance of walkers is just painful for me. Tracked vehicles can do everything that walkers can and better.
      Cause with walkers, you have to compensate for weight and movement on the account that you have 2, 4, or 6 feet. Sure that will help with ground pressure, but the more you armour something, the harder it is the move thanks to weight. Not to mention all the suspension and transmission problems. Plus the more legs you have, the more parts you add, parts that could be disabled or fail due to technical issues. Walkers in my opinion have an even lower reliability rate when compared to even the most temportmental of tracked vehicles.
      Plus, taking that into account, this logically also limits the ammount of armour you can actually put on it, since you can have a well protected walker, but it will be so comically slow and sluggish that it makes it an inviting targets, such as with High Explosive Anti tank. (HEAT) or ATGMs or hell even something akin to an RPG.
      You could add a more powerful engine, but that thing will have to supply all 4 or 6 legs at once, thus decreasing speed.
      I'm sorry... But this is just painful for me. I mean no offence

      @Grenzer 23 One of the big issues with the Clone Wars’ ground combat tactics was that... There weren’t any. Or rather, there were, but they were geared towards Jedi. I think Geetsly made a video on it, but the Jedi were using tactics in the Clone Wars from the last war they’d been part of, which consisted of ONLY Jedi versus combatants. This meant that the tactics used during the Clone Wars were designed to be beneficial to Jedi as it would let them close the distance so they could use their lightsabers against the enemy. Clones, of course, were not Jedi but were still beholden to follow their General’s orders, and so they charged with their General. This tactic got a lot of clones killed, but the Jedi were winning battles so they saw it as just a normal cost of war. The droid army of the CIS, on the other hand, didn’t really NEED to use tactics since they outnumbered the clones by a LOT during the war, and the droids weren’t alive so if they were scrapped, it was just a matter of replacing them which didn’t take very long or as many credits compared to making a new clone. So, they just said “alright, charge the enemy directly and crush them under the sheer numbers of droids we have” as their standard ground combat tactic.

    I love how the CIS are basically AnCaps so a lot of the war droids they made have cool backstories where they were originally used for corporate interests and to repress workers. It was just a happy coincidence that they were strong enough for a separatist military, plus I’m sure it saved money and resources but that’s fitting. I think there’s a reason so many people simp for the Seppies and it’s because the Seppies were some creative organizations.

    SWRC does a good job making these things as scary as they should be. In the first level in the battle of Geonosis you are just wrecking droids left and right as a commando before rendezvous with delta squad, and you turn a corner and there it is. A spider droid the size of a 4 story building just decimating clones left and right and you immediately go from kicking ass to hiding while you wait for a LAAT to save your ass. I’d love to see a tally of how many times an LAAT has been the one thing that saves an entire mission in the clone war.

    My favorite Star Wars meme was one where the spider walker had timbs photoshopped onto its feet and it had top text like “oh shit here comes dat boy”

    “The homing walkers were indeed a force to be reckoned with. They could do a ton of damage over time, so they were usually one of the first targets for our tanks and anti-tanks. Good thing they were huge, easy to hit, but scoring a critical hit was often the most important task against them. It is a shame that the republic didn’t use automation to save valuable lives like the CIS did.” -CS/CT-8711-12 “Cheng”, Captain and Scout of the 442nd Siege Battalion

    Also something I read about why walkers were so universally used as opposed to hover tanks or vehicles with hard wheels was because they were so power efficient and that even if they lost power they wouldn’t be stuck useless because they had hydraulics that could be used, dunno if that has any merit but I’ll accept it

      Clones would hace a more massive PTSD than those fights with the Confederacy ones. Yesterday I had hard time bringing done the one the breathes fire and throws fireballs. I shoot arrows, arrows, arrows, also those small bombs and. After I killed the annoying tracker ones I kept shooting it with random arrows. Until it died. I still dont have really strong weaponry. Today also had a hard time at a bandit camp. Now I have anti armor arrows and a new bow. If clones fought one of those or worse the giant ones like T Rex looking one with no tanks and few explosives, includings the bird one and a Corruptor which are a real pain in the ass some of those are gonna end up in a mental asylum ( if there're ones in Star Wars) .

    So that's the Droid Clones feared the most. I never considered them such a big threat. I'd only ever faced them in the original Battlefront games campaigns on Geonosis, Felucia, and Kashyeek, and in those cases, they didn't cause too much trouble. In the case of Geonosis, it was because well there was so much going on during that battle I would barely come across them too much. For Felucia I was too distracted by all the other horrors like the Acklays, to notice them. And on Kashyeek I had Wookie backup and would try to use the trees to my advantage to snipe people so I never came face to face with them. So I guess I was very lucky.
