A-Wing being unbalanced?
Am I the only one who struggles up against A-Wings? I understand it's a ship that's supposed to require skill to operate, but at the moment you can put all pips into weapons and shields and have abs...
1. The main advantage of A-Wing is its size and hitbox. It's the smallest starfighter and the hardest to hit.
2. The rapid fire isn't that imbalanced due to it's short range. With a range of only 600, many enemies can start firing at you at 1000 range and win a joust before you get close. In terms of flanking enemies, you have to get real close, and enemies can fly out of range with a simple boost.
3. Compared to TIE Interceptors, it's balanced out with power shunting, which A-Wings don't have.
4. There are more things to manage with an A-Wing, like shields....and the shields recharge at a snail's pace now
