The Republic Artillery Gun should be added as a Republic Artillery. It is basically the only one they had.

Sarcastic · « **Reply #1 on:** February 18, 2009, 01:55 am »

SPHA-Ts should be sufficient enough artillery.

aceofhicks · « **Reply #2 on:** February 18, 2009, 02:38 am »

Yes, I agree with Sarcastic. It would be cool to have, don't get me wrong but it's just not.... as well know, SPHA-T. Sorry.

Sage · « **Reply #3 on:** February 18, 2009, 02:47 am »

I've never heard of the RAG until now.

Source?

Sarcastic · « **Reply #4 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:03 am »

From the Clone Wars series but that's it.

Django (sunfalcon) · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:12 am »

I vote no the SPHA-T is good enough.

Sage · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:17 am »

Yes, it's the precursor to the SPMAT

Solar · « **Reply #7 on:** February 18, 2009, 03:25 pm »

Uhm which one is UEAW gonna have SPMAT or SPHAT? or are tehy the same thing?

Liberator · « **Reply #8 on:** February 18, 2009, 04:31 pm »

It is the SPHA! The SPHA-T is the one ships used.

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #9 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:34 pm »

I say no to the RAG. Something fills it already.

Maybe make it upgradable? Start with the SPMAT and then later on upgrade to the SPHAT?

Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i) · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2009, 06:38 pm »

I thought the SPMAT is RA and the RAG is for CW-Era

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2009, 07:02 pm »

Back up the truck; this isn't a precursor, it fires shells, and is driven on repulsorlifts.

It could fill a field artillery role, compared with the heavy role of the SPHA-T.

Liberator · « **Reply #12 on:** February 19, 2009, 12:36 am »

Yah. But how it would it be destroyed?

Sarcastic · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2009, 03:00 am »

Wouldn't it make more sense to stick with the SPHA series though? They were featured prominently for quite a while.

Liberator · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2009, 01:59 pm »

But just after the Battle of Muunilinst they weren't used as far as I know. The RAG could be for worlds that cant use the SPHA. Also it would be very interesting.

Sarcastic · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2009, 05:28 pm »

Interesting how? You're asking for a carbon copy of another unit.

SPHA-T is Self Propelled Heavy Artillery-Turbolaser

SPMAT is Self Propelled Medium Artillery-Turbolaser

RAG is Republic Artillery Gun

If you look at the affiliation for the SPMA-T, you see that galactic republic is not listed, because the game is the only appearance. (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Self-Propelled_Medium_Artillery)

So, we choose between the RAG and the SPHA-T.

SPHA-T is the obvious choice, because it appears in many places and was obviously in widespread use (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Self-Propelled_Heavy_Artillery).

The only appearances for the RAG are references related to the Clone Wars TV series (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Republic_Artillery_Gun)

So: we use the SPHA-T

Liberator · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2009, 02:45 am »

But, the SPHA can be defeated by IG lancer droids. It would kill enemy units and they would cost about 8,000 for 2 pieces. Each would be 4,000. Good enough?

in other words, the SPHA-T is more cannon than the RAG, so the SPHA-T stays as the public's choice.

IG Lancer Droids that won't be in this game and are one of the most absurd creations in Star Wars.

No, the consensus here is that the SPHA series stays. Unless the staff decides otherwise, it's safe to rule the Rag as out.

How many times.

WE COULD HAVE BOTH. The RAG is a smaller piece which has a different warhead and is lighter; it could perform as field artillery whilst the massive SPHA-T could by the heavy artillery...

Similar to the 20 Pounder Gun and the Howitzer. 20 Pounder was field artillary, Howitzer was Heavy Artillery. I like Chris' Idea.

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #23 on:** February 20, 2009, 01:15 pm »

Indeed. With much bigger maps, we should have more call for tactical usage of various different assets; this is one example.

Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i) · « **Reply #24 on:** February 20, 2009, 01:58 pm »

espacially artillery

Liberator · « **Reply #25 on:** February 20, 2009, 02:49 pm »

Yes. The shells can't enter shields and they can blow up tons of droids. They would technically be droid busters.

hold your horse cowboy!

ENERGY weapons is stopped by the normal shield you see, then there the particle shield wich stop weapons such as missiles, or any other type of solid object!

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #27 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:20 pm »

That is just one tactical example; it would be able to penetrate standard shields; but would have to be much closer to fire upon the base (more vulnerable to defensive fire) and have smaller munitions (field artillery, thus shorter range and smaller calibre), thus there is a pay-off.

Sarcastic · « **Reply #28 on:** February 20, 2009, 05:09 pm »

I apologize Chris. Didn't quite understand it since I skimmed which of course is no excuse.

If you guys can get it to work out sure.

Tanus · « **Reply #29 on:** February 20, 2009, 05:29 pm »

I like this idea, and the dual-artillery thing a lot.

Can we keep it? Please?

Liberator · « **Reply #30 on:** February 20, 2009, 07:29 pm »

Unfortunately, They will take 5 minutes to move 5 feet because they move very slowly because of the weight.

Doktor von Wer · « **Reply #31 on:** February 20, 2009, 08:19 pm »

And you think SPHA-T would be quicker? It's a game...

Dr. Doozer · « **Reply #32 on:** February 20, 2009, 08:22 pm »

The SPHA-T is seen a little more than the RAG, but I think they actually fill different roles. Maybe make the SPMA-T the starting artillery then get the SPHA-T at like around Tier 3 or 4, but keep the RAG in a different category all together. Make that availible like Tier 4?

exactly, its a game if the units a too slow its boring, too fast too uber, sometimes in games (EVEN in Company of Heroes) thats all about realism of real life THEY HAVE to twist the realism a litle... look at CoH for Example, the King Tigers and Tigers moved ALOT slower than in the game and the game is still very popular and has very good reviews litle twitches like that makes a game greater than it was expected to be.
