The game's simply not designed for fighters as fast as the ones in FS, so you have to either lead them more than you'd instinctively do, or simply hit them from behind.

In other words try to get in front or behind them to ensure a kill..or death, if he hits you first.

Diflectors should deflect, not hit and be mitigated, that sounds more like a shield then anything else.

Perhaps the devs could increase the hitbox on the ties, since its very easy for a tie to take out rebel fighters (they're only advantage is that they have more armor, but this is canceled when a tie is nearly invincible)?
