The Battle of Hoth Fought by Idiots | Arma 3 STAR WARS

“This battle needs no introduction” proceeds to introduce it. This has definitely been something on the long list of events we’ve wanted to do and it ended up being a blast, literally. Today is also the anniversary of when I made this YouTube channel a staggering 11 years ago so it’s fitting with how much I enjoyed making the end of this video c:

I don't care what Jay says. The Empire planet cracking Hoth is now my personal canon

"Yes, Lord Vader. I've reached the main power generators. The shield will be down in no time. You may start your landing." 🤞

"This will negatively affect the schedule" is absolutely going to become a thing in my friend group

Stormtrooper: “I’ll believe that when AT-AT’s Fly.” Cue two AT-AT’s soaring through the air with one sticking the landing.

The Mega Bomb incident is ABSOLUTELY going down in Ignis history alongside Provins and the Battle of Fort Night Two XD

9:20 "I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fuckin' watched"

No wonder Vader didn’t deploy on this section of the fight. He saw ignis was in it and was like “they got this. Eighter the rebels die, or they die with the rebels, I don’t have to deal with them eighter way”

The Imperials watching from orbit as the MEGA BOMB was deploying had to have been in abject horror knowing what had been done

What i personally love about Hoth was that it showed the rebels being able to throw hands. I know that 'Big evil empire brought low by rag-tag resistance soldiers'- style is more popular to a general public. But I get more dopamine in seeing an actual full-scale sci-fi war going on between peer or near-peer beligerents. That and it properly communicated what went on. 'why can't the empire just bomb the rebel base and has to abide by a direct land approach?' - ion cannon. 'yeah but what does the ion cannon do that prevents the imperial ships from just breaking atmosphere there?' - we see that in the film. I don't need everything to make sense, be realistic or practical, but Hoth was a battle you could really get immersed in when watching it. Memories man, memories.

4:16 Jay has been summoned to the Donner Party, who are able to testify that snow can in fact hurt you.

"Coordinates are that big-ass pillar in the middle of this God-damn thing. " Said in true Ignis fashion. That one is an official member, for sure.

I love it when they break RP at 10:54 to discuss the absolute shitshow that was the MEGA BOMB...

10:14 the line “Are you happy sir?” goes so damn hard

Fun fact General Veers knew about the AT-ATs flaw with the legs being vulnerable. However typical military/gov ignorance ignored his warranted complaints and employed them anyway

"Hmm, I wonder if there's a canonical reason why they don't use nukes in the Star Wars Universe." Watches this video "Oh that's why."

The best part is the mega bomb wasn't even on target it was just dropped right on the friendlies lol.

I don’t remember the Empire glassing Hoth.

Oh they're doing hoth. That means AT-ATs. This can only go well (either for them, or for our amusement, is up for interpretation).

10:13 "ARE YOU HAPPY SIR!?!?" Honestly. A pretty reasonable reaction.
