Actually, you both might be right... according to the manual Tie Bombers carry a complement of "Proton Bombs / Proton Torpedoes / Ion Blast Missiles (Map Dependant)".

But you say you didn't see that on the other map... maybe it depends on the map size too? 64-player vs 16-player?

I'm gonna go mess with Multiplayer > Local > Create, see if there really are map-dependent TIE weapons... bbs!

Re: Ion Cannon: Hilarious!

Aha! Found it out...

Taloraan - TIE Bombers carry Proton Torpedoes standard, Ion Blaster on pressing F-key
Escape from Hoth - TIE Bombers carry Ion Blast Missiles standard, redirects Ion Missiles downward on pressing F-key

That's cool! TIE Bombers can launch their missles on approach, and keep on blasting as they fly by...
