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...

Same here. What folks don't understand is that we can still jump into an X-wing and win. The ONLY difference is that it isn't as much fun.
I told Ian from Motive that the answer isn't nerfing the A-wing, it's making the X-wing faster and stronger, with better turning. Hell, buff ALL the ships, to close the gap more.
Hobbling the best pilots isn't the answer, but rather, giving *all* pilots better tools to work with.
@Billkwando "making the X-wing faster and stronger, with better turning"
Totally agree. That's why I use the Slipstream Light Hull or Agile Hull, whatever it is called. Slight reduction (I believe -20%) to Hull strength with a 15% boost to both Speed and Maneuverability. Catch those TIE Fighter pilots off guard by having a better turning radius than their Standard Hull.
Definitely love and prefer the X-Wing, but I probably do perform better with the A-Wing

To me, the A-wing is that weird Tallie ship from Starfighter Assault. A flying Mazda Miata.
It kills though, so that's what I'm stuck with.
