3 Venators vs 1 Imperial I class Star Destroyer - Star Wars: Empire At War Remake NPC Battle

As a result of the unexpected increase in views of this video, I receive an avalanche of comments like "the video is wrong, this would not happen". I have the impression that many do not read the title or the description of the video, and do not notice that it is written somewhere NPC Battle. To make it very clear, the ships are controlled by the AI in the game, I just create the custom map, choose the ships and use the cinematic camera to follow the action. I have no influence on how the ships move, they will only do what their scripts allow them to do. And the fighters are missing because they didn't have a major impact in this video. In the game/mode the AI-controlled fighters are either destroyed very quickly or fly randomly without engaging in combat and at the same time they are a pain for the multiple frames on the footage where moments of the actual fight are lost. For this reason I have not enabled them in this video and many other videos for a good period of time. If you look at more recent videos you will have fighters in the videos.

At the loss of one venerator, this battle could’ve been won a lot sooner. By having the other 2 venerators maneuver behind the star destroyer and take out the shield generators and engines. And then just pound the hell out of it from 3 sides.

The only problem I see with this battle is the complete lack of fighters that would have swarmed the Star Destroyer, eliminating all Ties, destroying the shield generators and some of the plasma cannons and turbo lasers.

You can actually beat a imperator with just a single venator if you target the shield generators first and use it's bombers and heavy proton torpedo tubes.

Not that surprising of a result as the Star destroyer is built for anti ship combat specifically while the Venator is more designed as a assault carrier. Without the major advantage the Venator has (large fighter compliment) essentially they had to rely on overwhelming numbers to win.

The Republic isn't going down without a fight!

honestly had venators be apart of the actual imperial navy the galactic civil war probably be different, you could essentially have them as light carriers meant only for deploying fighters on to the battle and while the enemy is dealing with an isd fighters and venators you could basically call in for a ground assault

I gotta admit I got way more invested into this than I thought I would, especially after the first Venator went down. Dang near started shout casting. I love the Venator. Great video!

I know this isn't lore friendly but it'd be really cool if something like this DID happen, some sort of Republic Remnants fleet

Ion accuracy really needs to be buffed in this mod. Right now their basically useless because of how often they miss their target entirely. This leaves any ship without missiles or fighters significantly under powered compared to ships with them. also I noticed during the battle there was a little while were the third venator straight up couldn't hit the ISD, nor was it firing torpedoes. Goofy. (edit) I think I know why, the Venator is trying to engage at maximum range, which is the range of it's torpedoes, but slightly further than the max range of it's main batteries. I still don't know why it wasn't using torpedoes though.

“Concentrate forward fire power!!!”

Even tho the Venerator cant go toe to toe with a star destroyer without help it'll always be my top favorite ship

I know this is just ai controlled/simulated, but if this were to actually happen, the 3 venators would have won in minutes, flanking and manuevering around the star destroyer but also the fact each would have a few squadrons of fighters to help target weak points

They really have nailed the look of the turbo lasers hitting the shields just looks so good

New vs old, the inevitable March of progress.

Anyway, it was still fun to watch. I used to sit and just draw my space battles on endless notes of blank A4 paper, with colouring pens...and spent hours laying there drawing battles, with ships, and swarms of fighters. Now, it has come alive thanks to this amazing game. I really should take up gaming...

Losing 2 ships to destroy one ship shows how much better the Imperial I class is.Love those ships

Imagine a Star Wars story where an old Republic attack fleet of three Venators actually traveled forward in time and took on an Imperial Star Destroyer? I'd love to see that.

I was surprised how it long it lasted. As someone who played EAW and FOC for a long time. I got good at the ship vs ship thing lol. Great video 😎👏🏻🙌🏻

to be honest this is like an aircraft carrier engaging a battleship, entirely unreasonable, the venator would use it's bombers
