TIE Defender disapointing
I guess I was expecting an Imperial X-Wing. What we got is a glass cannon. And it's slow. Anyone else have any luck with it? I sure didn't.

Yeah, TIE defender's hull only have 400HP.
Thinner than the A-wing.
No shield means the instant death.
And their normal speed is slow like bombers. 🤔
Also maneuvability is not so good.
...But their boost recharge rate is really good!!
(Maybe weapon and shield recharge rate are comparably good too.)
Power management is their key feature I suppose.
Wow!! Good run! 😃
What is your loadout?
- @Sati_Sati For me, the manoeuvrability is incredible when drifting. It can do a complete turn in barely any time, something very useful in a dogfight match. With the barrage rockets and lasers, with all shields pointed forwards towards the enemy, you can destroy them.
But I do agree that the TIE Defender should have more health. Only a few hits and they’re dead. You basically have to boost for maneuvering. It's quite the same with the B-Wing as well.
The TIE Defender feels like a TIE Fighter Combined with a Reaper to me. I am still trying to figure out for myself how to maximise its use in Dogfights, currently I prefer using it in Fleet Battles Vs AI.
