Ship Balancing Feedback
This is a great game to succeed the X-Wing vs Tie fighter era. The feel of flying the ships and the sounds are great. I’ve been playing the dogfights quite a bit, and am often the top player in the g...

@GRDNANGL172 I have too agree. I've had games where I've come in behind a Tie Bomber in an X-Wing with full weapon charge and have depleted my energy shooting at it. Tie fighter also take ages to kill even with a clean shot.
However I'm starting to think it more reflective of the X-wing weapon setups and damage output. The X-wing fire rate is low, the DPS on the standard weapon is 3rd place on the rebel line up. Plus the higher DPS is option is extremely low accuracy, and only punches the same as a TIE fighter.
I'm also concerned that the devs have not taken into account the convergence issues you get from having such wide spread weapons. Nearly all the other ships in the game have centred weapons, save the Tie interceptor, and accuracy seems much better on those ships because the converge on the same place. With the X-wing the spread is so severe one cannon is likely to hit when the others will miss. I'd like to see a duel cannon firing mode at least on this platform and a fire rate increase.

@DeathEnder7I think TTK is absurdly high in general. It doesn't really feel like a star wars game to me with the amount of direct laser hits you need to take down even a TIE. Especially compared to the movies where it's a few hits and they're gone.
They could really fix a lot of the issues by reducing TTK and removing auto aim. Then it will take a couple well aimed shots to down a fighter, rather than just relying on the auto aim of every weapon to chip away at them. Also makes deflection shooting actually matter.
