Re: Y wing balance issues

No they are the same, but TIE fighters are more accurate because their blasters are mounted closer together.

I see it like so.

A-Wing > TIE/i = Y-Wing > TIE/f > X-wing > B-Wing > TIE/b

That my opinion on the ships dogfighting ability though. Not overall.


For bombing I would say:

B-Wing > Y-Wing = TIE/b > X-wing


B-Wing is the best because it is just a  capitol ship predator.

Y Wing is close second because of gunner, but not so much better than hte TIE/b because it has a considerably larger payload on EFH.

X-Wing last because it has such a limited payload and it is not very effective in dogfights either.

Edit: lol whoops

i dunno. I reckon a good b-wing pilot can beat a tie fighter quite easily

The fighters aren't supposed to be carbon copies of each other, that's for sure.

Um, I kinda hate to burst your bubble, but Y-wings were dogfighting at the Battle of Endor. Quite effectively, actually. Also, LFL says Y-wings were also dogfighting at the Battle of Yavin, but that took place "just off camera". wink
