Executor vs Viscount

[Meyer]

So which one would win is the question. My answer is: Executor-class SSD

[Raptor]

The Executor probalby would win, but i like the Viscount better.

[Meyer]

well this isn't about liking better-topic. and there isn't even much info about viscount so I can't really say nothing about it.

[GrndAdmrlPellaeon]

The Excecutor would win. It is also one of my favorites.

[Raptor]

The Viscount is one of mine.

[Meyer]

Executor is great looking ship. and it beats viscount everday with it's larger number of starfighters.

[sarcronis]

Executer had more weapons, but the Viscount had more fighters.  But since the Executer had so many more weapons, it would win.

[Meyer]

Executor could carry thousands of fighters in it's hangars. Viscount could never match those numbers.

[sarcronis]

I now quote wikipedia
"Although slightly shorter in length than the Executor-class, the superior construction skills of the Mon Calamari enabled the vessel to carry more starfighters, as well as having a substantially smaller crew"

[Meyer]

Quote from wookiepedia:
"Complement  Starfighters (3 wings)
                     Standard complement:
T-65A3 X-wing starfighters (60)
T-65XJ X-wing starfighters (12)
RZ-1 A-wing interceptors (48)
E-wing escort starfighters (48)
B-wing starfighters or K-wing assault starfighters (48)
                     Additional support vessels:
Shuttles (dozens)
Troop transports (dozens)
Dropships (dozens)
Landing barges (dozens)"

another quote from wookiepedia:
"A minimum of 144 starfighters were carried onboard Executor-class vessels; but the massive hangar could hold thousands. In addition to fighters, the Executor-class also carried a large number of landing craft, dropships, ground armor and two prefabricated garrison bases."


 

[Scarecrow63]

But you also just quoted only the standard complement of a Viscount, it might also have been able to thousands as well

And according to wookiepedia the armaments of both ships were almost exactly the same, the difference was a Viscount had 50 more ion cannons and an Executor had 50 more concussion tubes

And i have to believe a Viscounts shields were far superior to an Executors

So i say Viscount

[Meyer]

I think that the standard complement in viscount doesn't refer to numbers but what number of what TYPE of an fighter it carries. and 50 concussion tubes is a lot of firepower.

[sarcronis]

I still say Executer.

[Scarecrow63]

No, that standard complement shows it has atleast all of those mentioned, not neccessarily the maximum

And 50 concussion missles dont do any good if the 50 ion cannons on a Viscount has already decimated your shields and you're takin damage

[Meyer]

but Executor had very good shields. those fifty ion cannons wouldn't bring it's weapon systems and shields down in a few minutes. And it says that viscount holds "only" hundreds of fighters at maximum capacity.

[Scarecrow63]

But you have to believe that a Mon Cal star dreadnaught had to have far superior shields to the executor

And the viscount would be able to more easily manuever about the Executor, allowing more Viscount guns to be used than the Executors

[Meyer]

I believe that Executor had better shields than Viscount. And I'm not so sure thath viscount would be just flying circles around Executor.

[Scarecrow63]

Come on, a Mon Cal vs Imperial, and you're saying the imperial had better shields? thats just ridiculous

And i didnt say fly circles, but th Viscount is smaller and probably more manueverable

[Meyer]

smaller doesn't meant it is more manueverable. And I know that moncal shields were good. but it was concluded in one topic that it was only because they overlapped their shields. And Executor shields were very strong.

[Scarecrow63]

Just take past match-ups

MC-80 vs ISD, the MC 80 was better shielded

VIscount vs Exec, gotta say the Viscount would be much better shielded

And overlapping or not, it still made for more powerful shields
