TIE Defender, Standing By

NuBattlefront 2 isn't great, but it has gotten a lot better with new updates.
It's fun for a few hours now.

I can't fathom why they thought to make the campaign they did after heavily advertising the clone wars as a main selling point. Jesus christ.
Not to mention the lack of galactic conquest, space-to-ground, or co-op vehicles. What the fuck were they thinking?

My favorite part was how they kept insisting, promising, and selling the campaign as an "Empire story" only for them to pussy out immediately and make her a rebel.

I will never not be mad at what happened to star wars in general. Even as far back as ~2005 it's been getting consistently fucked over.

I got nufront 2 for 8 bucks down from 60, don’t know if I regret my purchase because I’ve been having fun. Latest major update is good but fuck the heroes and their bullshit

The A-wing is so bad its propensity for being the fastest coffin money can buy survived a canon revamp through sheer will.

The A-wing, or "How to look cool and die fast" is what happens when A Kuat Engineer snuck into the back of Sienar systems to see the assembly of the first TIE Interceptor and thinking "A cheap fast and basic starfighter with the survivability of wet paper, great! Let's make it faster, let's make it not cheap, let's make it even faster, let's make it without the numbers that TIEs are built around" and his Rebel friend, hearing all this, decides "Yeah we aint got Empire pilot numbers but I sure do like going fucking FAST"

Fast but not easy, you're basically flying two engines strapped to your dick when its just seen two twileks kissing. In a navy that is just full of "I'm the best pilot ever but fuck discipline" jocks there's only one way to compensate for the missing inches of limp-dicked decent piloting and "Well I can fly an A-wing and not die" is there for people who have a hopelessly high rate of optimism and a will already written.

The most famous victory of an A-wing pilot is driving himself into the bridge of a Star Destroyer.This is actually remarkable as it did come at the end of the war between the Empire and the Rebel alliance, since it is frankly fucking AMAZING a-wing pilots survived this long. In the new canon they are given a fresh introduction, and promptly do nothing but fucking explode.

A-wings are the thinking man's suicide note. In a desperate struggle to be the slickest spacer this side of Duros young hotshots sign up for a one-way ticket into either ploughing into the fucking ground, being the first into the frey and into fire in the wet tissue paper tiger, and just generally being the coolest guy in the dogfight because they're already exposed to the vacuum of space.

I will never stop being angry about how badly the Executor jobbed.

not really, since the defender eats x-wings for breakfast
the tie interceptor is the closest when talking about the nemesis of the x-wing

I remember the A-wing first being available for me on that Bespin mission in Rogue squadron, I was confused, this was supposed to be like an upgrade? It was really fast, but died quicker, went back to the Xwing.

Speed is sexy, user.

Play the dos version, you can use a mouse

In dosbox settings set mouse sensitivity to 300, that makes it tolerable

Tie interceptor has no shields
Tie Advanced/Avenger is the x-wing's match

Wrong, Avenger had those first

Psh, nothing personnel, Alpha 1

Imagine being so massively OP that you need the smartest militant in the empire (spanning an entire galaxy, mind you) to personally design a countermeasure that isn't even consistent.

Remember Alliance?

Spooneytoe seething by.

The interceptor is more akin to the A-wing. I'd say the TIE advanced is the closest to the x-wing.

Give me the Rainbow Delta, the Black Rose, or the Wolfen any day.
Personally, I'm most partial to the Black Rose.
