I have to say the Juggernaught - the proper one of course, not the pathetic version that's in FoC, i never understood why the Empire replaced them with AT-ATs..
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on July 29, 2007, 07:13:33 AM
I think they thought AT-ATs were more intimidating. I personally would select Juggernaut every day.

speeder bikes all the way

Speeder bikes? Chariot LAV, WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Kratas on August 09, 2007, 11:49:35 AM
well i hate speeder bikes on empire at war  unless in big groups but i just like how they are so quick and maneuverable on bf1
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on August 10, 2007, 01:51:06 AM
speeder bikes are in good. they are fst scouts and can cause damage with their thermal detonators.

I agree, they are only good in groups in EAW.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on August 10, 2007, 10:11:43 AM
I think they are their best at the groups of 4 to 8.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on August 10, 2007, 10:20:38 AM
Yep, I use 4.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on August 10, 2007, 11:11:13 AM
4 is my regular as it is the quickest to get.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on August 10, 2007, 09:14:45 PM
Although I prefer AT-ATs.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on August 11, 2007, 02:38:48 AM
takes time. I usually build few AT-STs first to protect and then I concentrate on biger vehicles.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on August 11, 2007, 04:46:04 PM
AT-AAs are essential to bring down those pesky snowspeeders.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on August 11, 2007, 04:48:55 PM
snowpeeders are quite ineffect.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on August 12, 2007, 09:00:01 AM
They can wipe the floor with AT-STs and Speeder Bikes.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Kratas on August 12, 2007, 10:40:44 AM
if you have no infantry and no atat's or aa's they then one can destroy an entire arsenal of atst's or maulers
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on August 12, 2007, 01:49:55 PM
I hate the speeders, their special ability never works
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on August 12, 2007, 04:33:58 PM
I disagree it is useful.


Nice picture Kratas.

On this post I thought you meant speeder bikes. Snow Speeders ability sucks.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on August 12, 2007, 06:39:34 PM
Either they dont even do it or they string em up and nothin happens, its just plain stupid
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Corey on August 12, 2007, 07:04:24 PM
It's because they usually stand still when they're being roped, which pisses me off.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle

Hehehe... That why Im always the Empire, they have better abilties.

Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GriMPhantoM on February 03, 2008, 04:21:47 PM
I like the AT-AT personally because it gets rid of pesky vehicles,transports,infantry,buildings etc.
and can deploy troops.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Dane Kiet on February 03, 2008, 04:38:12 PM
MDUs in game, AT-STs out. Small, but heavily armed  ;D
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: TheMM on February 06, 2008, 06:45:56 PM
I really don't have a vehicle pref.

Really though, I just bring down a group of vehicles that are fast and can make it to where I need em to go. Usually Maulers or Speeder Bikes. Generally I move them to a spot, have them explode or drop a thermal detenator (based on the vehicle), then call in a bombing run to (hopefully) destroy what's there.

It's not a hit and run tactic, it's more of a....hit, die, and then bomb them to death, tactic.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle

speederbike hit and run go in drop a therm det go out call in a bombing run and kablooee
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Qui0jinn on March 11, 2008, 09:16:04 AM
Woah, yeah that would make a mess... As far as favorite vehicle, for me definitely the AT-AT, bring back fond memories of the first time I saw Empire Strikes Back, but to me the EaW version does not do them justice, I mean snowspeeders lasers weren't even meant to make a scratch on 'em... and infantry are WAY too effective against 'em. I made 'em far tougher.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on March 11, 2008, 09:43:44 AM
you have to remember that this is a game were talking about. I too hate it that infantry can destroy the heaviest of land vehicles but is because of balance.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 11, 2008, 06:08:13 PM
what is the battle platform?
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle

uhh, what?
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Slornie on March 11, 2008, 06:37:15 PM
Garm Bel Iblis' Gargantuan is an Aratech 520 Battle Platform.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 11, 2008, 06:38:38 PM
ah okay thank you.

Yeah I understand that, but I think making the towcable more effective would've been a better solution.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on March 12, 2008, 08:58:52 AM
yes. I agree on that. but I can't sometimes even use the tow cables.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 12, 2008, 04:33:59 PM
i have also had that problem. you have to have the atat moving for it to be any affective anyways.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 12, 2008, 11:15:59 PM
I voted for 'Other', because I was going to bring up the Swoop-Bike, but then I realised this is a poll for favourite Empire at War vehicles, so I changed my vote to the AT-AT. I prefer the Swoop-Bike in general because it is so fast and cool, and I also prefer the AT-AT in EAW because it pawns everything, except for Snow Speeders of course.  ;)
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Dane Kiet on March 13, 2008, 02:55:19 PM
T4-bs hack, but I like AT-STs.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 13, 2008, 08:45:20 PM
I love At-St's in all of the other games because they are so fun to fight and use, but in EAW, it just isnt the same.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 13, 2008, 08:46:45 PM
tie maulers are fun to mess with. especialy running over troops.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 13, 2008, 08:50:35 PM
I love doing that to Rebellion in GC; they always attack with massive infantry forces, then I just steamroll them before they can even get close to my base. Half the time they dont even get off a shot before being steam-rolled.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 13, 2008, 08:51:58 PM
thats the way to go
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 13, 2008, 08:59:59 PM
 ;D
Yep; it's the perfect way to go, and nobody gets hurt! Except for the Rebellion.....ah well, poor infantry. It's their falt for uprising.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 13, 2008, 09:03:46 PM
or the storm troopers if you managed to capture a mauler  ;)
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 13, 2008, 10:13:25 PM
Meh. The Stormtroopers get owned everywhere they go, so no-one cares.  ;)
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 13, 2008, 11:17:57 PM
its because they are cheap clones mainly.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 14, 2008, 12:01:50 AM
Yeah-but they are still very effective. Tis' a shame that they get mowed down in the movies.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Meyer on March 14, 2008, 01:34:42 AM
its because they are cheap clones mainly.

Actually about half or more of the Stormtrooper corps was made up by recruited personnel. 501st was the last pure Jango Fett-clone unit.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 14, 2008, 01:35:56 AM
Yeah-I guess they needed the numbers to enforce their laws and dominance.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Slornie on March 14, 2008, 08:03:19 AM
Last time i checked, this thread was about Land vehicles, not Stormtroopers.  Topic, please.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 14, 2008, 09:57:25 PM
Sorry.
Anyway, I prefer the AT-AT, as you all know, but that battle platformmakes me nauseous. Friggin Gargantuan!
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle

Me too!
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: grandadmiralbeck on March 18, 2008, 11:33:36 PM
come guys, AT-AT is like the symbol of the empire on the ground like the ISD is the symbol in space. at-at inspires fear, and i am pretty sure that there was a reason that the imperial's replaced the juggernaout, not to mention, the at-at didnt replace the juggernaut, it replaced the at-te, dont you kinda see the resemblance
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 18, 2008, 11:51:29 PM
the TIE is more of a symbol
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: GrndAdmrlPellaeon on March 19, 2008, 07:56:31 AM
No, the ISD is more of a symbol than Ties.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 19, 2008, 05:56:32 PM
i read in a book that everybody in the time the empire was around would see a TIE but less than 10% of all imperial citizens would ever see a star destroyer in real life.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on March 19, 2008, 10:13:12 PM
Which is why actually seeing one would mean you should really be afraid
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: aNaRcHiSt44 on March 20, 2008, 04:39:33 AM
Exactly. THe Tie's are more the symbol of the Empire in my opinion, for the same basic reasons as Isamu's.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on March 20, 2008, 07:24:32 PM
No one looks to the most numerous thing as the symbol, its all about might and power, ISD all the way
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 20, 2008, 09:03:39 PM
so the ak-74 (not 47 as everybody calls it thats really old) is not a symbol of the ussr but rather the t-100
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on March 20, 2008, 09:18:45 PM
No, the crossing hammer and sickle is obviously the symbol of the dead USSR. 

And if someone were to be asked what gun=ussr, it would be ak-47, not ak-74 like your all-knowing mind apparently told you
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Isamu on March 20, 2008, 09:29:29 PM
they look the same. the 74 is more accurate and longer range along with a bigger kick.
Title: Re: Favorite Land Vehicle
Post by: Scarecrow63 on March 20, 2008, 09:31:55 PM
Whats your point? Oh wait, you have none.
