I find it really cool how the republic used different types of fighters. The V-19 kinda feels like the F-16 of republic fighters. Mass produced and super nimble, but smaller and not as survivable.
You brought up an excellent point I never considered beforehand, after years of fighting the droids, it seems, in more ways than 1, that The Republic & later The Empire gradually began adopting many of the tactics that were being used against them by the droids, including starfighter swarms and large amounts of relatively disposable infantry. It just makes me realize that the Empire was not only geared up for a war it wasn't fighting, (capital ship to capital ship for example), but geared up to fight a war it had already won.
They were mainly gearing up to awe and intimidate, since their military physically couldn't be everywhere. A Star Destroyer could quickly level a city with turbolaser fire or more precisely with TIE bombers, and it could kill pretty much any civilian ship by grabbing it with a tractor beam and pounding it to pieces. Remember, 99+ percent of the people and ships they dealt with were civilians without much in the way of weaponry. We just see the ships and soldiers the Alliance was able to scrape together at any given time. And the Rebels had to beg, borrow, steal and highly modify the weapons they could get. It was more important to the Empire to keep the mega-corporations and the resource providers in line. They were looking to conquer by outproducing and outlasting the Rebels. Unfortunately for them, the fear got replaced by anger and determination by some very capable beings.
Funny thing, in starfox assault. The arwings fuselage was similarly shaped as the v wing. Nintendo would make a fighter for the space battle over corneria using the arwings fuselage but with wings similarly shaped as the v wing. It looked very much like v wing.
The arwing 3s right. They definitely do look quite similar. Nice to see some star fox fans in these videos every once in a while. Though which fighter would you rather have?
@@mill2712 hard to say, the v wing is faster and has two laser cannons. The ship from assault, which as far as I could find. Is listed as a cornerian fighter. Is slow and has one laser cannon. But is durable as a tank. And can boost to very high speeds. It also has life support. So the cornerian fighter is probably what I would choose between the two.
NerdZ, in case you make a video in the future a new updated video of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, as you did of the V-wing It would be interesting if you calculate the size and space of the Venator hangar by calculating its square meters,similar to your Gladiator-class video.
The V-Wing for me is basically a "what would happen" when you use the design of the RZ-1 A-Wing, & the Mass Production of the Tie Fighter, & mix it together.
@@alejandroelluxray5298not really, lower overall speed and surprisingly lower maneuverability than even the basic TIE/LN, which is a lot better than people make it out to be
Bummer the most screen time for this one was at the very end of RotS. I liked how George would pick stuff from the EU to throw in his films. Made the universe feel more fleshed out.
Just a great looking ship. A fraction of the price of the Eta with better guns and shields and almost equal in speed. Way better looking too. Throw in some life support upgrades and you've got a great little ride.
love this ship. its one of those ships that didn’t het much screen time but was goated in extended content like comics and books like Lords of the Sith when Vader hopped in one. Republic navy moving from those goofy torrents to these and Headhunters was probably the biggest glowup in SW PS this video reminded me how gorgeous Battlefront II is 🥲
One of the coolest looking starfighters of the franchise, at least of the Republic. I know some people before said that the Arwings and Cornerian Starfighters of Star Fox Assault are very similar to the Nimbus V Wing (with the latter being basically a clone of it), but here's the thing: _Star Fox: Assault_ was released over three months before _Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith_ (February 14th vs May 19th). So either someone at Nintendo/Namco saw production material for RotS and added the Cornerian Starfighter as a reference, they're both based on a previous ship or it's just a coincidence.
The wings are depicted to fold either forwards, backwards, or outwards. I wonder if there is an official way they are supposed to, or if they can do whatever depending on the situation.
I'd love to see a shipyard make a fighter that has an ion cannon that is set up like a Gatlin Gun and able fire like a Gatlin gun and maneuver like a v-wing. It would be a very useful fighter against star destroyers.
@@outlaw_x this would be like that plane that only had a Gatlin gun in ww2 instead of an assortment of bombs to go with it. Only difference it would be more effective. Or was it the browning 1918m1? I don't quite remember but all it had was a gun and it was more nimble and used only the gun.
When I first heard about this Starfighter, I got a little confused since I've heard of the V-Wing used by the Rebels in Legends. Don't know why The V-Wing from the classic Battlefront 2 game is one of my favorite variations of it
One of my favorite Star Wars fighters. If you think about it, it's the perfect fighter for planetary defense forces. It is fast, shielded, and with the high rate of fire you don't have to be super accurate. It's also got an Astromech to help the pilot do things like fly and angle the weapons for firing. The mech can also be used after flying for maintenance and repairs, as well as to get the preflight done when the scramble alert goes out. Put in the bomb launchers and you have a low-end superiority fighter that can dogfight AND bomb larger targets.
I just want to say that having things like large panels on fighters to dissipate heat because of the way heat and space work together is a detail that's pretty damn unimportant, but it shows care with the world that's being created. We got things like that with Lucas running things, but we get a single TIE that's able to take out all the gun emplacments on a Star Destroyer with JJ and KK doing things. No, I don't care that the Star Destroyer was surprised because it didn't expect one of it's own fighters to attack it, the thing still shouldn't have been able to do that, even with that model TIE being better than the old one. "Poe is the best pilot ever!" Yeah but Finn is a janitor. JJ sucks. KK sucks. Rian sucks twice (your name isn't rye-an if you spell it like that, you're ree-ann, just because your parents got cute with how they spelled your name because they thought they were being clever doesn't mean the rest of us have to change the way we say words, you made half a good movie, only the first part of Looper was any good, you suck).
Fun Fact: the original Lego V-Wing that came out in 2005 only had an R4 head piece, not a full astromech body. Meaning that it was technically more lore accurate than the recent set in that respect.
I personally interpreted the "Besh" and "Esk" variants of the V-Wing as the solutions for the inconsistencies. The B version is the bomber seen in BFII, a fast-moving ground-attack vehicle designed to fly in, drop ordnance on a ground target, and then get out. The E version is the escort seen in Revenge of the Sith, which has been noted to have an in-built hyperdrive.
id say the jedi interceptor was the true father of the TIE fighter, For forces sake you can hear the TIE sound when anikin and obiwan fly by venators in ROTS
Okay so to fighters don’t have life support so the pilots need sealed suits but what about when Poe and Finn took the tie fighter from the first order and didn’t have helmets
So is this the beginning of going through all the Republic ships or just one of those spur of the moment type postings? 😂 Cuz I would really love to see the Z-95 redone.
There’s a bit of a discrepancy in the way it lands, in almost every piece of media it appears in, the wings are always in a different configuration when it lands, either landing on the tips in a convex shape or a concave one, or having the wings fold forward to reveal landing gear
always loved this ship, madea great bomber and heavy interceptor. every since battlefront 2, no not the PoS ea version for the ps4. looked like a beefy jedi starfighter i love the look
Technically the Eta-2 you see Anakin and ObiWan flying at the beginning of Episode 3 is the precursor to the Tie Fighter since it was developed alongside the Tie program in its early stages. Its deployment is probably what led to many of the features you see in the Tie. If anything the V-wing has more in common with the A-wing which would make its debut in Episode 6 since both craft were interceptors. The nail in the coffin for this debate is that Tie Fighter prototypes were first tested in 29bby. That is 7 years before the Clone Wars started(22 BBY) and 10 years before it ended(very late into 19BBY). The V Wing was first used in the 3rd year of the Clone Wars of 19BBY. TL;DR the V Wing can't be the precursor to the Tie Fighter since the Tie Fighter predates it by 10 years.
The problem is the same one that the Allies had in WWII, a very fast interceptor pinned down doing escort of slower bombers or heavily laden fighter-bombers sacrifices vital maneuverability. That's why the fighters were usually orbiting above the bomber groups and then dived down to attack the enemy fighters, and when the bombers headed home at least some of the escort fighters usually went hunting for the enemy planes around their airfields to pick off damaged planes and shoot them up on the ground. It's a numbers game. Kill their trained pilots and wreck their best planes. Of course the Rebels couldn't do that, since they were almost always outnumbered and out-produced. So they had to target Imperial strategic assets and morale.
@@kenle2 ARC-170s are quite agile though and you could send the V-Wings in first to do as much damage as possible while using the advantages of a V-Wing.
This is the fighter design the empire should have used en masse. You could strip out the droid while keeping the shields, high firepower and great speed.
@@angelic_disappointment7889 I would mostly agree, except possibly in firepower. the v-wing could be readily equipped with a missile launcher. I suppose it's more the starfighter philosophy the empire adopted I have issue with. They had very well trained pilots but gave them next to no options in weaponry or shielding to take a bit of a hit. The v-wing is slower true, but it gives those things. Just because you have a near infinite number of recruits to call on doesn't mean you should waste them. It's bad for morale and institutional experience.
The Galactic Civil War era (Prequel Trilogy & Clone Wars) had the _coolest_ starfighter designs. Z-95, N-1, A-3, ARC-170... all these are truly iconic and beloved designs, each with their own style. Even the V-19 Torrent has a peculiar transitional design phase appeal!
The Galactic Civil War Era is just that. The war between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The prequel trilogy is the Old Republic Era transitioning into the Clone Wars Era. The time in-between the Clone War and Galactic Civil War is known as the Dark Times.
@@Tar-Numendil The prequel trilogy is _not_ the Old Republic. It's just the Galactic Republic or just the Republic as distinguished by the Ruusan Reformation. Anything before the Reformation is the Old Republic. To be fair though, I think anything in excess of one century could be considered "old" in general terms. I mean, the US Civil War is relative recent as far as our earthling history is concerned but 150 years ago is still a long bloody time!
The V-Wing are the main fighter for the Republic on Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the PSP. I think because I have thousands of hours on that I grew to respect the fighter. It isn't a tie fighter. I'd say its better.
I really enjoy the V-wing. It certainly has had a lot of ambiguous attributes over the years. I'm still unsure of how the wing rotations work. Sometimes they depict the wing folding forward together and in the one wide shot clip here, the wings are folded backward. But then it also has the wings as landing gear feature where the whole thing stays open but rotates down. Are all of them true? Great video.
my favorite, even though I don't know why in Bad Batch it's vipada without a shield even though it should even have a palpatine escort and a hyperdrive

I've been trying to find the micro galaxy squadron v-wing. Great looking ship!
The empire should have kept these instead of the tie fighters...
V wings do really remind me of the Starfox Assault Arwing
Thank god for the love the bad batch is giving this ship
I really enjoy the V-wing. It certainly has had a lot of ambiguous attributes over the years. I'm still unsure of how the wing rotations work. Sometimes they depict the wing folding forward together and in the one wide shot clip here, the wings are folded backward. But then it also has the wings as landing gear feature where the whole thing stays open but rotates down. Are all of them true?
Great video.
I'll bet Empire pilots were pissed when they had to trade in these ships for the worse and way less survivable Tie fighters.
i forgot i had seen this, so i just saw it again., you released 5h ago.
god this weed is strong, but i dont feel like i wasted time, so kudos sir
I have a toy of one of these somewhere, it's huge
Some say the Nimbus class craft brought the rain.
my favorite, even though I don't know why in Bad Batch it's vipada without a shield even though it should even have a palpatine escort and a hyperdrive
