Re: Y-Wings Rule!!

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

More firepower

2 seats...

Imho easier to fire. (hard to shoot/see where your shooting in a tie fighter/bomber)

I have to brush up on my Star Wars but even if thats how its meant it completely ruins this mod. IMHO it shouldnt be nearly as manuverable as it is and the ties definately need a boost.

It is SERIOUSLY overpowered in this mod. I played about 20 rounds of space battles today and only a few of which on the imperial side.. EVERY time the rebels had 10X the kills of the imperials. (rebels never won though) I think the escape is bugged.

Mal

ps. Granted being in the Y wing is fun (got the gold star like 4x in one) but balance is the key to games not accuracy.

ion cannon? is it the one in the turret right? to me it seems to be a normal laser, or can you switch it to another firing mode??

Yes, I think it is the "f" button that does it, but I am not sure and cant test it right now.

I have played Escape from Hoth a lot as Imperial, and the most used tactic is getting a bomber and making runs at a freighter until you get blown up.

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?
