i tried to find it, but couldnt sry if this already been asked before, will the LAAT/i Gunship be in V2??

[Dr. Doozer]

Hmm. Used heavily by the Republic during Clone Wars...main aerial assault vehicle...you tell me.

[D]

there was a topic on all LAAT's, just look back a couple of pages

[aceofhicks]

Yes, I already asked this. It was Rejected if I remember right, though.

[SoulPain (FanEAW)]

you mean the main vehicle of the republic that you see in ep.2 and 3, PLUS the 3D animated movie PLUS the cartoons ISNT going to be included in V2?

[aceofhicks]

It was said that it would be only used to bring in AT-TEs if I remember.

[SoulPain (FanEAW)]

omg... i would LOVE to hear the excuses... you cant say "im going to included the republic in EAW" and not include LAATs... the republic's Icon IS the LAAT...

[Sarcastic]

Obviously you know what the staff is going to and not going to include.

[D]

look, maybe you should go read the topic before talking like you are supposed to. it may change your mind.

LAAT/i was going to be the infantry dropship, i think the C variant was for tanks.

THat was our decision and it is final. I think.

[e^(πi)+1=0]

no decision was ever made as far as I know. I think they should be transports and gunships on land and gunships in space; the only non-hero space and land unit, though.

[D]

they werent exactly what i would use in space though. They are really slow compared to fighters.

[e^(πi)+1=0]

They were light gunships, not meant to engage in dogfights; they had heavy armor, several beam turrets, heavy rockets, etc.

[Django (sunfalcon)]

I vote for them in they played a HUGE role and were the republics main transport.  They transported infantry to hotspots and actually were heavily armed for what they were.  I vote they should be in as the Republics transport.

[D]

but why deploy them in space, unless there is going to be boarding actions to take over other ships?

and are there cannonical evidence that gunships were used in space extensively? as i recall reading only a special variant introduced later into the war was space capable.

[urkspleen]

if you read shatterpoint, I think that they try to use them but they are trounced....i think that almost always they would land, transport, and provide support for infantry (and lands ATTE, although different variant)

i think that no reasonable commander would field them as combat units in space.

[e^(πi)+1=0]

interesting... I'll look it up.
according to wookiepedia only the later versions could operate in space.

[D]

I think its best to keep the LAAT in land battles. I sure as heck dont want my capitals wasting time spawning slow gunboats, when it could be spawning bombers or fighters instead.

[SoulPain (FanEAW)]

look, all i have to say, is to add the Gunship because it played a major role in the Clone Wars, add it as a transport AND a combat ship, or one or another (i would prefer combat ship) because in EVERY movies (ep. 2 and 3 that is) and EVERYcartoon and the latest movie wich is /D animated you see it!! and as well u see in in BFI and BFII!! so i think you should add it as it played a vital role in the clone wars!!

I dont know about space, honestly, add them or not, but on land battles you SHOULD add them to make the faction cannonical?

[Solar]

They will be in, but will not feature combat capabilties. Air combat never really worked in EAW and they would be far too uber if they were made cannon.
