The Mandator-IV is a PRACTICAL warship, god damn it.
First off, with 26 large cannons on top, it can easily deal with most threats moving slower than an X-wing at full speed. Anything above the ship can be shredded by the turrets, while anything under it can be obliterated by the autocannons.
Canady was an experienced captain, but was not used to commanding a dreadnought whose main purpose was bombardment and not combat.
General Hux took a prank call in battle, too.
There are a lot of contributing factors to its destruction, but that it was not a good warship was certainly not one of them.

it's fucking star wars turn your brain off goy

Same composite armor and design from the walker. Wow, creative.
Jacob Nguyen
its just a walker with space
Christian Sullivan
super fucking slow
Evan Price
This sounds very similar to the aluminum vs iron copy pasta

>PRACTICAL warship but why not just hyperspeed ram it

IRON IS FUCKING BETTER FIRST ORDER STEEL IS BETTER THAN EITHER

Batteries on computer nearly drained. Until then, I will fight for the practicality and usefulness of the Mandator-IV class.

FIRST ORDER STEEL

where did the fo take the resources from to build these things?

If its such a great warship then why can it be crippled by one fighter? Get real. It's a wonder the first order conquered anything
Michael Morales
It's mass shadow isn't large enough.

>The unknown regions what a fucking cop out. Things like these work in stories like Buffy where there are several supernatural dimensions that are only opened by magical keys and shit but this shouldn't fly in Star Wars where they have FTL travel and had several millenia to plot the galaxy
Easton Anderson
FUCK YOU FIRST ORDER STEEL!
Evan Brown
The main guns are weaker than an orbital bombardment easily done with two normal star destroyers tho.

Remember when all the POINT DEFENCE WEAPONS couldn't keep up with the normal main fighter?
Robert Brown
Great post. And if I recall the EU there never really were "unknown regions", the outer rim was pretty much as close as you could get, but mostly because it was a lot of shitty local crimelords and planets no one cares about.
