Re: First Strike Campaign
You know, the old A-wing shooting the side of a almost fully complemented Imperial Cruiser, destroying two of them. That stuff.
The damage the A-wing does is pretty negligible. It is constant though, and therefore likely to shave off that last point of health.
It was the A-wing that got the kill shot, it was the Cap ships that did the damage which killed you.
X-wing and B-wing lasers do a lot more damage- its just harder to pull that trick successfully.
