I dont get why people keep saying a burn attack should not affect AT-STs. You're spraying them with chemicals that are on fire, so it sticks and burn for a long time, causing massive amounts of electrical and structural damage. Thats about as realistic as it gets. I see no reason why an AT-ST should not be completely destroyed by a burn attack.

AM i wrong? plz tell me if i am




You are wrong. There is no liquid that burns hot enough to destroy steel. If it did what what you shoot it with? Ergo no structural damage caused by fire. All elecrtical componants are housed in steel just like on our tanks.

Perhaps you forgot about 9/11...The reason the 2 towers fell was because the fire of the jetfuel weakened the structural integrity of the steel supports. To think that you're AT-ST should be invincible is sad and wrong. If a commando can't destroy one then maybe the rebels need some cute furry ewoks as faction pets.

Maybe steel I-beams get weakened by fire, but in the Star Wars Universe we use Durasteel armor, which can take blasts from high powered laster weapons.


It would really depend on how the devs define the flamethrower though. Traditionallyflamethrowers are an anti-personal weapon, while rocket launchers are an anti-armor weapon. The fuel used to make the fire also doesn't stick to anything because it get used up to make the fire. Since metal doesn't burn fire isn't very effective against it. Rocket launcher warheads, on the other hand, are shaped charges that are very effective anti-armor tools. I would much rather see a commando kill an AT-ST with rockets than with a flame DOT.

Until they fix the bug in which the correct damage is dealt with AP3 weapons on target with vulnerabilities you won't see it happen.

Please go peruse the PvP data for those who feel commando is "uber".

We aren't and we have the logs to prove it.

I am not really making fun of SOE in any ways but they haven't done anything correct in 6years you think they are going to start now?



Also I agree with all these people commando SUCKS the other day I got killed by a Master Marksman.... And I do have flame IV tell me that is fair... he was using a FWG5 so I am positive he wasnt anyother profession this is just crap pure crap...

How could you know that he was just a master marksman? he could be a BH with pistol 4, or a master pistoleer, using a krayt FWG5, using lots of specials. you cant complain if you dont know the whole story

I personnally never thought of a commando as a small group profession. In a one on one or a two on two, we hare at a disadvantage, and I expect that. Commando's are really useful in group support. In a large battle, they do major damage to multple targets and have a selection of weapons all dealing in different damage types so you can target the enemies weakness. Ex: Rocket Launcher on an AT-ST.


As for the flame dot taking out an AT-ST. I think an AT-ST should get damaged by the flame dot, not a whole lot but it should get damaged. I have been a commando for two months now, and have never taken out an AT-ST with 1 flame dot. It has always taken 2.
