  • On today's Star Wars Lore video we discuss capital ship weapons in the Star Wars universe, answering my most commonly asked question: what's the difference between turbolasers and laser cannons? Although much of this information comes from Star Wars Legends, it should match how things exist in Star Wars canon. From Super Star Destroyers to CR90 Corvettes, all of the information in this video applies to Star Wars ships and space battles in the Star Wars universe.

      I'd prefer using a 6 barreled 20 mm Vulcan autocannon like the ones on US Navy ships which double as CIWS point defense. Variable RoF to 4,500+ rounds/min after latest block upgrade on the barrels to better tolerate heat build up.

    Since all Star Wars combat is based on WW2 in one form or another, one might use this comparison to explain the Laser Cannon vs. Turbolaser divide:
    Laser cannons are equivalent to autocannons such as the 40mm anti-air guns used on WW2 ships. Turbolasers are equivalent to full-sized naval guns, and the lighter ones can, like the ubiquitous 5-inch gun of the WW2 US Navy, be in defensive roles as well.

    Despite being called lasers, they are pretty much plasma cannons.

    • @wilhufftarkin8543
      @wilhufftarkin8543 6 лет назад +48

      Some blasters are plasma guns but laser cannons and turbolasers are actually lasers (even though their bolts look the same).

    • @cmdr.meiloorun1226
      @cmdr.meiloorun1226 6 лет назад +110

      Given the slow (i.e. visible) travel speed I would say that while blasters and laser cannons are technically energy weapons, they are not lasers per se but rather a form of energy pulse driver.

    • @seemslegit6203
      @seemslegit6203 6 лет назад +107

      again, they are most likely plasma weapons, especially considering how irregular the burns created are, lasers would create very precise holes rather than splash like burns.

    • @wilhufftarkin8543
      @wilhufftarkin8543 6 лет назад +21

      You can't apply real physics to Star Wars ;)
      At least in Legends but I think also in canon, blasters are stated as being particle guns with some of them being plasma guns (most notably the DC-15 series, which is why they were very effective against droids). Blaster technology is mostly used in small arms and light cannons while laser cannons are much more powerful but mostly used in spaceships and large vehicles like the AT-AT (the AT-AT's heavy chin cannons are lasers while it's secondary cannons are blasters). Laser technology is also much older. In the Pre-Republic and early Republic eras, laser weapons used by infantry were mostly heavy stationary cannons comparable to the E-Web repeating blaster, while the standard portable guns were mostly slug-throwers. There were also portable laser cannons but they were really heavy and required a backpack containing a large energy pack, similar to early lightsaber technology (lightsabers are plasma weapons, however).

    • @LouisKing995
      @LouisKing995 6 лет назад +41

      Carolus Magnus no, they are plasma canons. The light is focused through the kyber Crystal which is then applied to the tibina gass, ionising it, and then releasing it as a bolt. They are plasma canons and they work on the same principles as the blasters do.

      They're called compound beams, and are classified as superlasers

    • @lenkagamine4145
      @lenkagamine4145 2 года назад

      proton beams, actually. Not lasers, strictly speaking in real world terms those would be considered particle accelerators. Most proton beams are of the composite-beam type, where multiple proton beams are connected to deal more damage. Composite-beam weapons are also reffered to as 'lasers' of course, like most star wars energy weapons, but they arent literal lasers like our understanding of them.
      There are a handful of non-composite-beam proton beam weapons though, such as the star destroyer Accuser and the Lancet aerial artillery.

    7:22, ion cannons are also useful against shields, just a note. The electrical discharge they produce was specifically noted at several points as being especially potent and draining shields, allowing the turbolasers to then finish them off.

  • @SoftisNelaris
    @SoftisNelaris 6 лет назад +35

    I've done some thinking about star wars weapons, and I think the term "Turbolaser Battery" usually refers to a set of turbolaser weapons that are bunched up together to focus all their firepower on the same target. A great visualization of this is the Bellator-class Star Dreadnought. You can visibly see the turrets grouped up into small clusters and large clusters rather than evenly distributed across the entire surface of the ship.

    • @thesumofmyfear
      @thesumofmyfear 4 года назад

      Yup, it's also commonly used to delineate a set of four turrets in a formation like you've described. Even if it's a grouping of eight, it'd be two batteries. Not taking into account number of barrels.

      missles really work kinda like turbo-lasers but are individualy smaller because its a single munition instead of a huge gun connected to a reactor but if you but 200 munitions launchers on a ship the cost of all the missles builds up really fast so turbo-lasers are used more

      Shadow Of Sundered Star I don’t know about that... Star Wars is famous for expanding on everything that can possibly be expanded on. There are frequently entire stories crafted around a single ship that appeared for seconds in the movies or another source. The universe is almost as fleshed out as our own. The Legends storyline goes before 25,000 BBY to after 150 ABY. The Canon is a lot less expansive, as it has only had 4 years to expand, but it is still incredibly well fleshed out.

      To make matters worse, the allies included the UK, which at the time very much still was a literal empire that spanned half the planet. (even if that empire wasn't so cohesive perhaps)
      Although you can't claim them to be the good guys in any way, the Germans and especially the Japanese were very much the underdogs of that war. (as in they were relatively small countries that somehow got it into their head they could take on much bigger rivals.)

The pathetic "orbital bombardment" of the rebel base in Rebels made me want to choke everyone involved with the project. At least the later Legends stuff fairly consistently portrayed relatively realistically-powerful warships. Until that damn Clone Wars show (the new one, obviously).

      Many sci-fi stories refer to a space force as a navy because they operate in similar manners. A navy consists of fleets of capital ships with smaller support ships and/or fighters, and so does a space force, so that's why the Imperial Navy refers to the star destroyers etc and not to water-based vessels.

      Bombardment: such as the naval bombardment of Iwo Jima prior to invasion by US troops.
      Anti-ship: such as the Battle of Surigao Straight during the Battle of Leyte Gulf (the final ship-to-ship engagement involving crossing-the-T, or full broadside by an entire fleet against an opposing force, in history)
      Anti-aircraft: ruclips.net/video/jAxdgeHqpJA/видео.html many countries, including the US, still use the Bofors to this day. That is how versatile and powerful this weapon is.
