I play dogfights almost exclusively. My favorite starfighter has been and will continue to be the A-Wing, even with the recent nerfs. I have a "fast/maneuverable/ion missile" loadout X-wing build that is a close second when battling TIE Defenders. The A-wing smaller footprint is good for tight squeezes, and when (if?) you pull off a tight clearance maneuver, you feel like a hero.
Similar on the Imperial side: TIE interceptor and a fast/maneuverable TIE fighter loadout a very close second. I am a sucker for Rapid Fire Cannons despite the shorter range. Love them on the A-wing and TIE Interceptor.
I have yet to play this game with a VR headset on, but I bet that all of the New Republic cockpits look and "feel" amazing. I know that I lose out for visibility without playing with a VR headset. Still hilarious fun.

@Cleaner9191 When you do play in VR, you'll love the A-wing even more because of the visibility from the cockpit.
Yup it is great. And not just the A-wing. It's great being able to look around and track what's going on around you with VR. 😊
- @NightsEye one of the first people I squaded up with was playing in VR and, as we became friends, couldn't help but comment on how awesome it was. Finally, I caved and got a VR setup. I'm so glad I did... intense games of squadrons in VR as so thrilling.
Very happy I spent the loot for that experience... dunno if i can say the same about the balance changes... but, ya know...
