  • In today's episode of Star Wars: Who Would Win, we put the famous Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser up against the Munificent Class Light Frigate. Who will come out on top?
    Watch the rest Star Wars: Who Would Win here: • Star Wars: Who Would Win
    The Munificent Class Light Frigate was a ship used by the Confederacy during the clone wars, while the dreadnought Heavy cruiser was used by many factions through Galactic history. This is a Star Wars legends matchup.

    I'd disagree with your some of your assessment. The Munificent-class had the majority of its armament forward. Clone Wars showed what happened when it was attacked on the flanks. The Dreadnought-class has a decent forward firing arc, but its main armament was concentrated in weapons blisters on the port and starboard sides of the hull. If the ships faced each other in combat broadside-to-broadside, the Dreadnought has the upper hand because it has more concentrated fire in those arcs.
    This is just me nitpicking, but you seem to ignore firing arcs in your videos. For example, in Iron Fist, Mon Remonda was able to take on the SSD Iron Fist by utilizing its firing arcs and limiting those of the Iron Fist. Just something to keep in mind for future videos.

      I disagree. From what it sounds like in the eu the dreadnuaght was slow and not very maneuverable meenwhile as was shown in rge clone wars tv show and the eu the munificesent was veryfast and maneuverable for its size. Likely they would run across eachorher in a head on position. The munifecent could totaly keep the dreadnout in front of it if it wanted exposing it to that heavy dual terbolaser and tearing it to ribons this would even work a great distance as they are long range turbolasers. This especialy bad if the dreadnouts best firing arch is a broad side because this bot only incrases its profile making it a larger target for that heavy tubolaser but would also partially expose its engine block stoping it dead in tis tracks. Aslo the heavey turbolaser will have a very easy tame with the dreadbouts sheilds seinf as how in the clone wars it riped through the shields of venators wich had better shielding than the dreadnaut. This also makes logical sense since its hiting the shield with a lot more energy in one place. Also the cabons were fired on barell and then the other si that one would weaken the shield and the other would rip through the shield and hit the ship. This gun was also very rapid and could likely be concentrated on one area fo long periods of time. If i were comanding thr munifecent i would do one of to things
      1. Divert all energy to rear sheilds and forward thrusters geting out of its fireing range and than hamering at it with the twin heavy turbolaaer preferably from a vertacle side ways position as to cover more surface area.
      2. Speed behind it and dstroy the engines and then just do the rest of the first option. Personly i like them both but prefer the latter. Even if it were the imperial version with fighters and more weapons from a distance they still be useles the plasma dissipating before they even touched the ship. And even if it did have fighters knowing the empire i dout that they would be dedicated bombers as well as that their most common bomber was slow and unshielded as well as had a pretty weak ship to ship payload. TIE bombers would be riped to parts by even the munificents turbolasers. And tie fighters interceptors and even defenders would be plucked from the sky by its point defense guns. The munifecebt is both more rounded and more specialised at the same time. Its overall a better ship.
      Sorry i know my spelling and gamer are bad im just a flusterd fan boy ranting.

    The Dreadnaught is rapidly becoming my favourite ship in Star Wars. It looks so adorably sad. Like it knows how much bad luck its creators are having and that nobody really likes it and only gets it because they can't get anything else. Constantly living in the shadow of newer ships it still soldiers on, even against the Yuuzhan Vong!
    Somebody should arrange a deal between the New Republic and Rendili Stardrive regarding the production of Rebel Class Assault Frigates, the younger sister of the Dreadnaught and a fairly capable ship. I am sure that Rendili with all their cleverness can mass produce it.

      serious question(s).
      How do you tell the power of the different weapons in star wars?
      The prefix of Heavy and Light seem to be subjective in relation to the weapon name and craft its on.
      single, duel, and quad seems self explanatory, but turbo laser looks to be a duel turret.
      blaster seems to be the smallest, hand held or small craft.
      then laser, about starfighter size, then turbo laser for capital ship.
      problem is, you have laser and turbo laser; duel and quad used almost interchangeably to describe both anti starfighter, anti ship roles.
      the Victory class is described as having only laser weapons, (anti star fighter) but is about equal with a Dreadnought that has turbo lasers.
      then you have the single HUGE mounts, like the Munificent's two forward turbo cannons and ions.
      seriously, how do you sort this out?

    clone wars gunship vs U-wing!

    • @GSarge17
      @GSarge17 7 лет назад +3

      Not a bad match-up, but I think the U-Wing comes out on top because it has flight configuration (wings foils facing back) and deflector shields.

    • @darthvader8164
      @darthvader8164 7 лет назад +6

      This is my speculations, but, if the U-Wing was destroyed by TIE Strikers, then it's shields wouldn't matter against the sheer numbers of weapons the Republic gunships have.
      4 composite beam laser turrets, 2 or 3 anti-personnel laser turrets, 2 mass driver missiles (30 missiles each), and 4 light air-to-air rockets under each wing.
      The U-Wing has 2 laser turrets and and atleast 1 door-mounted ion blaster.
      And that's only if the U-Wing has enough firepower to destroy a gunship. Currently, the only things that have destroyed a gunship in canon are Geonosian Starfighters (which use purple ammo), Umbaran Starfighters (which use green ammo), and proton cannons. Correct me if I'm wrong. The most the U-Wing could do is get some shots on the Gunship and, hopefully, it gets destroyed. Or the Rebels can improvise and kill the pilots in it.
      I don't actually believe it's anti-personnel turrets on the gunship could take out the U-Wing. The Composite Beams or the rockets definitely could.
      The U-Wing is faster than the gunship, but not impossible to hit. If one of the composite gunners can get a shot on it, or if the pilot can get a missile lock on it, game over.

    • @GSarge17
      @GSarge17 7 лет назад +3

      Very nice assessment, Lord Vader, but take this into account:
      This will be an in atmospheric conflict, given the LAAT can't withstand prolong engagement in the vacuum of space. The maximum atmospheric speed of the LAAT is 620 KPH while the U-Wing has a maximum atmospheric speed of 950 KPH; much faster than the LAAT.
      On top of that, the U-Wing's flight configuration increases the coverage of it's deflector shields. The LAAT has strong armor, but no shields. and given that the U-Wing has no problem taking down Imperial Walkers that are much heavily armored, it can take on the LAAT in a couple of strife runs.
      The only thing the LAAT has that can put a dent on the U-Wing are it's rockets, but I believe the U-Wing can outmaneuver them. Laser from the LAAT will have little effect, the U-Wing's shields can hold.
      In the Battle of Scariff, the Rebels had one U-Wing on the planet. That U-Wing was able to take down at least 2 AT-ACTs, some Tie Strikers, deploy troops on the beach, provide air support until it was shut down by Tie Strikers squadrons that had stronger cannons and was a designated dog fighter.
      The LAAT was designed as a dropship and could defend itself, it wasn't a starfighter. The U-Wing wasn't designed as a starfighter either, but it could serve that role. I just believe that the technological advantages, speed , maneuverability and weapons systems of the U-Wing can outperform the LAAT.

    • @Z1gguratVert1go
      @Z1gguratVert1go 7 лет назад +1

      I was going to bet on the U-wing but your argument changed my mind. I guess the biggest edge the U-wing has is that it is faster and has a hyperdrive, so it could always get away. Gunships were really designed to put soldiers on the ground and back to low orbit, not to pursue proper spacecraft like the U-Wing (Gunships are really repulsorcraft fitted for low-orbit they're not "proper" spaceships).

      @treefiddy3033 7 лет назад +1

      GSarge17 Only thing about that match up is that AT-ACT's were inferior to the AT-AT's and used magnetic locks to keep the legs from collapsing under the weight of the hull. Bistan's U Wing used ion repeater which took out and magnetic lock on the joints, and therefore the walker. The rebels didn't have any weapons planetside that could handle the AT ACT's otherwise.

  • @VestedUTuber
    @VestedUTuber 6 лет назад +1

    I'm personally a fan of the Munificent. There's one thing to note about that ship - its weaponry may not be as powerful as that of an Imperial-spec Dreadnought, but it has a range advantage. In a pitched battle where both ships approach at sublight, that's a huge advantage. This range advantage combined with the superior maneuverability would allow the Munificent to "kite" the Dreadnought, staying out of the effective range of the more heavily armed vessel while chipping away at its shields and hull with its heavy turbolasers.

    The Munificent has one big weakpoint: The bridge. It sticks out by a lot and the front is made out of a glass like material, that is easy to break and once the shields are down the bridge is easily destroyed. And you could see in episode 3 that the glass can even be easily broken with smaller hard objects. That was a Providence but that one uses the same material.

    Arc 170 vs X wing

    • @blazetundra
      @blazetundra 6 лет назад +1

      arc 170 would win, it has more firepower (aswell as a pilot co pilot a back gunner and a astromech i believe, which im pretty sure is more than the x wings measly one pilot and one astromech, unless the x wing can hold a pilot and co pilot but im pretty sure it can only carry a single pilot) sure the arc 170 is slower but it (most likley, not 100% sure though) can take more hits both shield wise and hull wise (or atleast ne of the two) so its durability which is similiar to the x wing and its larger weapon loadout pretty much ensures its victory, the only way i can think of for the x wing to win is try and use hit and run tactics to strike it and then run and strike it again when able...but im no star wars ship expert so this is just my opion and what im asuming these starfighters can do...but if we do go to the indivual pilots clones were bred for the purpose of war..where as rebel pilots are lack luster, they have no skill but they do have expierence..but thats irrelevant since they would have equal skill pilots in the match up

      The Only hrdjhskfjsnd The Death Star was a lot smaller than the Starkiller so it would be relatively hard to hit. It could just orbit around the back of the Starkiller and fire.
      Also, DS2 was very fast at firing. It could fire a low power shot every 3 minutes (not sure about planet destruction level though). On the other hand, the Starkiller took a long time to first find a star to drain and then it had to go through a long firing process.

    As I see it simple turbolasers that can be used for point defence are like the 127mm Dual Porpouse artillery pieces on WWII ships. They are useful for blanketing an area with flak or against manouverable and lightly armoured ships, like corvettes and frigates, but wouldnt do mutch besides scratch the paintjob on a dedicated combat capital ship, like either of these.
    On the other hand, heavy turbolasers are the slow firing long range heavy hitters used to crack the shell of any vessel. And since the Dreadnought has more of those, and both of these ships should be effectively immune to light turbolaser fire, it has the distinct weapons advantage.

    You're probably right about the outcome, but I'd like to see you stop considering all turbolasers to be equal. Even a cursory glance at the Minificent-class will show you that it has turbolasers of vastly different strengths.

      LordZirk If the DS starts in a good firing position - otherwise the eclipse gets the first shot with her superlaser...even if the DS would survive it wouldn't be in a position to use a weapon that involved such a complex firing sequence as its superlaser. Unless the eclipse where stupid enough to go into a small arms fight of course.

    • @Zirkobi
      @Zirkobi 7 лет назад +4

      Even then it wouldn't really matter what the Eclipse would do. The shield around the DS would be enough to take the punishment alone even from the superlaser of the Eclipse. Remember that the Death star was made to be impossible to attack even with huge fleets carrying both conventional and unconventional weaponry.

    I think the imperial dreadnought is an example of the Kuat and other imperial manufacturers learning lessons from the clone wars in retrofitting. Where they had to make weapons platforms and other essential resource heavy capital ship systems interchangeable. It's not necessarily seen in the "ships of the line" like star destroyers. It is, however, part of almost every design for support ships. The imperial Nebula frigates, the smaller SD styled escorts and etc. And the rebellion then took this a step further by having an entire fleet of ships with easily modified and refitted systems as often as possible, including their heaviest cruisers like entire MC line.

  • @davidedens6353
    @davidedens6353 6 лет назад

    Dress had superior armor so it could take more punishment. Also as an intangible the munificent wasn't automated in the traditional since. It was crewed primarily by b1 battle droids. This means as damage mounts the munificent will have far less effective damage control. In the hands of a living crew the ship could easily outmaneuver a dreadnought but as you have placed this as the standard compliment this would not be the case in your matchup. Under normal circumstances as you have stated in a one-on-one fight the Dreadnought should have a significant advantage.

      1- id say the harrower....sure it was produced much earlier than the venator and probably could not cary no where near as many fighters (and no where near as good ones at that) but from what i can hear about the two the venator is lightly armed compared to other capital ships of its time..and the harrower from what i know is exceptionaly well armed..so id say the harrower wins but if the venator can manage to deploy its fighters then it might be a different story
      as far as the victory 1 v harrower goes same harrower wins..sure the victory was even newer tech than the venator but again even the victory seems lack luster compared to the harrower..but im no star wars ship expert so thi is just my assumption

  • @SMChurchill
    @SMChurchill 4 года назад

    The main difference between these vessels is not their firepower, protection or mobility, but is in fact one is designed and crewed as a warship and the other is crewed as an armed merchantman. In battle this would show itself mainly in that the Dreadnought would have stronger infrastructure and the ability to take casualties without substantially losing combat efficiency, whilst the Munificent would beginning failing as soon as it starts taking damage (not enough redundancies or crew to maintain it with casualties). :-)
    So yes the Munificent would probably start with an edge but this would soon begin to be reversed as damage is taken by both vessels.

  • @greghugi1750
    @greghugi1750 7 лет назад

    Not sure if you'll read this but there is actually sourcebooks that compare these two ships (albeit in different books, but cross compatible and produced by the same people), these books being the sourcebooks for Fantasy Flight Games tabletop RPG (the newest ones being canon too).
    I'll save the less useful details and put the following (its somewhat abstracted). Speed wise, both ships are comparable however the Dreadnaught is considerably more sluggish, and while the Munificent has shields which are just above twice as powerful as those of the Dreadnaught, where as the Dreadnaught has some of the heaviest armor of any other ship its size (they are mentioned to be amongst the most durable vessels ever made).
    That being said, when it comes to weaponry the Dreadnaught is completely outclassed: the Dreadnaught has more /heavy/ weapons, whereas the Munificent has vastly more weapons in general, in addition the Munificent's main gun is powerful enough to disregard the Dreadnaught's shields AND armor. Starfighter wise the Dreadnaught actually has space for twelve fighters in it's small hangar, whereas the Munificent has room for a minimum of twelve (up to thirty six non-droid fighters).
    The only real way I can see the Dreadnaught winning is if it preforms a ramming manuever as soon as possible so it can exploit its superior armor and hull strength compared to the relatively fragile but well shielded Munificent.

    Eckhart I had this dream about a massive Mon Cal Capital ship. 22KM long and about 4-5K around and half way back a slight delta shaped configuration would form, making it about 6KM wide at it's widest. Yes would be(was in my dream)maxed with obvious turbo lasers, Ion Cannons, Proton Torpedo's, and A large cannon hidden in the the belly that can come out and back in. However in my dream what came to me was this, do you remember The Philadelphia Experiment and the teleportation of a ship and having sailors being caught in the hull of the ship? Well I figure that by Star Wars tech we would have the ability to phase in and out of other dimensions. So the neat thing about this MC120 Delphia is that it's main advantage despite its massive size, shields, armor, weaponry, and being able to field around 2500+ Star Fighters of all kinds, would be an ability to phase in and out of dimensions like The Pleiadian Light Ships Billy Meyer took more than a few videos of. Also depending on the size and number the MC120 Delphia would be able to pull and bring out one or more ships into another dimension for safety. So what do you think about The MC120 Delphia Capital Ship idea? Respond and let me know what you think of this dream I had of this particular ship. I figure that it's not too far fetched since we were on the cusp of teleportation during The Philadelphia Experiment that by now in the Star Wars Universe it would have been figured out by now.

    @NegTharayas16 7 лет назад

    I feel like a point that didn't get enough attention was the contrast - I felt like I just heard 'the Sam's again and again. they may be equal but in different ways. the Dreadnaught could take a beating, more than even a Venator. But it's Shields and weaponry were just ok. Give a solid punch and live another day. The Munificent, on the other hand, was heavily armed with strong Shields, but weak hull. so in this sense they were even. However the Dreadnaught had a massive crew and cost a lot to maintain as it was already hundreds of years old. Munificent designs s we're about 100 or less. Add that to the fact that they were cheap to maintain due to their small crews/automation.... So the battle would go like this: the Dreadnaught Shields would collapse long before the M's, but it is heavily armored and can soak it up. By the time the Ms Shields are down the D is very beat up, systems are starting to go offline... but it will only take a few salvos to blow the M to kingdom come. In the end, the D would be nonfunctional, basically salvage and scrap (but hey, a lot of it) but most of it's crew would still be ok. The M would be gone. I mean, hey, once the Ms Shields are down the D could even ram the M. It's hull is strong enough... even so, the M is much more disposable, and more than likely, the D (which isn't) will get towed back to a shipyard and repaired and retrofitted for the hundredth time.
    Also, you should do Star-wing Assault Gunboat versus New Republic (not rebellion) Y-wing. (not a b-wing, too easy).

  • @Dswank
    @Dswank 7 лет назад

    My only thought on the comparison is based on Legends you keep saying standard fit, but Rendil drive yards leased the Dreadnought design to thousands of shipyards that each tweaked the design so there was no standard fit. Depending on what Legends source you are using the CIS Providence cruiser is one of the Dreadnought variations.
