			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I seen from playing BF2142 that it dose support blinking lights and 3D cockpits. You could even get the HUD to have that white shimering thing on it. I do hope the cockpist are going to be more than just standard 2D set peices like they were in the BF1942 mod. Like if I move the speeder to the left the left handel bar should be pulled back showing I&#039;m turning left. IE it works with the stearing wheels in BF2142 why not do the same for the cockpit of the FS mod vehicles.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Yup, it was truly awesome. And it was colour-coded for IFF (Red was Imperial, Green was Rebel, Blue was neutral, and so on), and the brighter a contact, the closer it was. Also, your current target was bracketed.</p><p>Comparing it to the RS radar... no, strike that, comparing any system with RS&#039;s radar is just mean.

Top left is behind you, and top right is in front of you. So something in the middle of top right is directly in fronnt of you, and something at the left of top left is slightly behind and to the left of you.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Overall it is tougher, but because its harder to hit not neccesarily because of its actual armor basically is what he&#039;s saying. And its reasonable to believe the, considering most of the ship is made of wings, the armor on it would be lacking with only one well armored &#039;core&#039; and cockpit. While the Y-Wing is more compact and can more easily be armored since its got less TO armor. However due to the dificulty to HIT a B-Wing compared to a Y-Wing the B-Wing is a tougher target. </p><p>The B-Wing can rotate around the cockpit, but turns from the &#039;core&#039; where the engines are and has a slim shape. The Y-Wing rotates around its center axis..and turns accordingly since its a solid shape, thus its easier to lead it and hit it in theory then the B-Wing.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Regarding the Y-wing vs. B-wing topic. I&#039;ll just give basic gist of these two craft and won&#039;t delve into the really fine technical nitty-gritty. Mainly because of time and I don&#039;t want to be an irritance. lol <img src="https://forums.fsmod.com/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /></p><p>Both craft have different combat designations. The Y-wing is classifed as an Attack starfighter while the B-wing is classified as a Heavy Assault starfighter. Technically, neither of them are bombers. The Y-wing is a multi-purpose ship and is extraordinarily versatile. Capable of effectively handling everything from surgical strikes and precision bombing to escort, dogfighting and just about everything in between. The B-wing is also a pretty versatile craft, although it was designed for a much more specialized role: to engage and eliminate/disable Imperial capitol ships. Which is no small task. The Y-wing carries precision short/long range targeting systems and devastating firepower as well as an astromech droid. It&#039;s also faster, more maneuverable, and has tougher armor &amp; shield systems than the B-wing. However, the B-wing is also outfitted with precision targeting systems and has a much smaller target signature. The gyro system keeps the B-wing&#039;s signature inconsistent with the crafts true position. The B-wing carries firepower even greater than the Y-wing and has an enormous firing arc thanks to the swing wing system of the gyroscope and the s-foils. The B-wing can be a very tricky fatherless child to hit because of the slim fore and aft profile of the craft coupled with the gyroscopic stabilization system. The B-wing&#039;s shield &amp; armor ratings are almost on par with the Y-wing&#039;s and both craft are capable of carrying a wide array of weapons. Although, the B-wing&#039;s weapon emplacements are modular and can be outfitted with numerous weapon configurations.</p><p>There&#039;s obviously more to it than this, but I&#039;ll get to it another time if anyone cares. <img src="https://forums.fsmod.com/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /> <img src="https://forums.fsmod.com/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /></p>]]></content>
