Topic: TIE bomber - 3rd weapon ? (escape from Hoth)

The 2nd weapon is a blue bolt. When I switch it and shoot it doesn't fire anything but my ammunition gets down and it's the same loader.

can someone explain me that please ?

That is the toggle for shooting straight down like traditional bombers or straight ahead like a missle. Try it in 3p you will see what I mean.

i think he means the ION cannon, which is intended to disable systems with an EMP type effect. I dont know if it actually works anymore. We are having trouble with effects being invisible at the moment though, this may have been affected too.

ok thanks. I'll test that with a mate to see if it works. I suppose it's made to affect capital ships.

The TIE bomber used in EFH is different from the one in Taloraan. In EFH, it indeed shoots bombs downward. In Taloraan, it switches to Ion Pulse warheads (the projectile goes slower than the tracer, so aim them as if you were aiming your proton torpedoes).
