			<description><![CDATA[<p>Forgot the Y-Wing one. Oh, and the TIE Bomber on Taloraan can switch from torpedoes to heavy ion cannon by pressing F. I find the thing hugely useful in the rare cases you actually manage to get a Rebel fighter in your crosshairs - an ion bolt makes the fighter unable to maneuver for a few seconds, enough for me to do some damage.</p>]]></description>

I, for example, like the fuselage above me so that I can pull up when I&#039;m bombing and I don&#039;t worry about the fuselage hitting the target.</p><p>And the F key has the function of switching the Y-Wings gunner seat to different projectiles (laser bolts and Ion cannons, though I&#039;m betting they&#039;ll have torpedos for the SD battle)</p><p>ALSO: I&#039;m not sure how many people know this, but bombers should NOT bomb when they are outside of the 600m effective range of the bombs.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Good Guide. </p><p>Some new points:</p><p>Escape from Hoth:<br />Use the Planet to escape: <br />Your Fighter is hard to see for an attacker if you are flying in front of the planet. </p><p>So if you are chased by an enemy fighter, try to &quot;dive&quot; in the direction of hoth.<br />Make eveasive moves, an try to get him off. <br />A dangerous trick may be to drop your velocity to zero while diving to Hoth. The enemy may pass your fighter, but it&#039;s also possible what he is crashing in your fighter.</p><p>As Imperial Pilot you can try to lure him under the StarDestroyer (where is a anti spawnkamping Deathzone for rebs) or over the StarDestroyer (and hope what the guns will kill him).</p><p>As Y-Wing Pilot you should tell your Gunner what&#039;s your plan.<br />If you are attacking the guns of the Stardestroyer or the Lancer he must check your six.</p><p>If you want to Dogfight, he must hold his fire until you start to fire.</p>]]></description>
