What's purpose of gyroscopic cockpit for B-Wing?
What's benefit from using that rotating body for pilot? I dont understand why it could be useful to use that. Thanks

Probably good at forgetting what angle it's at and smacking into debris.
Sounds cool enough though, I don't think any game has ever implemented the gyroscopic feature before, other than opening and closing S-Foils.
What bombs got to staying back behind??
You can go forward when your side has air supremacy.
Bomb drop angle is no argument, you can simply roll your ship in the right direction. Missile evasion might be neat, but then again, if I rely on boosting/drifting anyway, I don't see this being needed. The only purpose to pick gyroscopic:
- Also increases ammo count for auxiliaries that use ammo; otherwise, improves auxiliary cooldown rate.
Having 60 (? might be even more, not sure) barrage missiles is pretty much the end of every Raider and can do severe dmg to an ISD.
Just flew some practice course yesterday, and so far I can't confirm low maneuverability, turn rate was pretty good, especially when boost/drifting. Firepower also looked good, the combo of ion- and laserguns is nice (though I'd still prefer it being like in the old games where ion canons were looked to specific ships and you could switch to lasers anytime during the fight) and hits quite hard. What's really really really anoying though, is the incredibly low speed. I can see the B-Wing work in preset teams, but it's definetly no ship for random matches.
