haha I love your impersonation man

lol Thanks. I LOOOOOOVE your guys' mod. Henceforth, I love you guys.

Best. Dev team. EVAR!

Mechag, this is a VERY sad fact of the engine, but linked fire is impossible! Hardly believable isn't it?

(impersonates Vader... poorly) NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, well. lol Thanks for the heads up.

Y-wings pack far more devastating firepower than X-wings and their reinforced armor & deflector shield systems are considerably more rugged. Even so, B-wings pack even greater fire power than Y-wings and their armor & shield integrity are almost on par with them. However, B-wings have a very slim fore and aft profile, they're harder to track, and the're equipped with an advanced gyroscopic stabilization system. All these attributes combined make the B-wing a very difficult craft to destroy.

After playing First Strike like there's no tomorrow (and it's absolutely jaw dropping ). There are a few technicalities regarding accuracy on some of the craft. I'll name off the one's I can recall off the top of my head. For anything else, I'll have to go "refresh" my memory.

1) Both the Y-wing & B-wing are equipped with four more proton torpedoes than their default configuration.

2) I understand this next point most likely has to do with limitations in implementing it properly, but it would be great to be able to swing the B-wing's gyro in both directions. Logically, it probably would rotate a bit faster, but that's up in the air.

3) The A-wing is missing it's 2 Dymek HM-6 concussion missile launchers (with 6 missiles each).

4) There are various inaccurate sound fx (ion cannons, DL-44, proton torpedoes, etc.), but I don't know if that's because they can't be used or for some other reason.

5) The S3 model Y-wing's turret's ability to switch between ion & laser cannon fire (although, I must admit it's pretty cool).

6) Limiting ion cannons with ammunition. I'd personally include a recharge rate or overheat function for gameplay purposes. Possibly for laser cannon fire as well.

7) The T.I.E. Fighter's laser cannons are not fire linked.

Of course, ultimately, gameplay takes precedence over lore accuracy for this type of game. And ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh what a game it is. lol

It'd be nice to have manual control over the S-foils, and I'm dying to be able to look around the cockpit interior for all craft & vehicles. I LOOOOVE that feature. lol

I agree the mod has great potential and in another agreement with the Y wing..

The Y wing is more manuverable than a tie fighter

I have to disagree with this statement. I've played in a TIE a lot over the last couple of days. Never seen a Y wing out manuver me.

That means that Rebel Scum fighter pilots and gunners will get lots of kills/points, but so what?
The Empire is still victorious.

Yep. The mod seems to think that the transport got destroyed, meaning the rebels look tickets instead of the Empire.

Also, does the Ion cannon fire in unison with the lasers/autoblasters, or do you have to switch to it?

Ah so desu
