Y-wings instead of X-wings?

[Darth Alec]

Is there anyone else that thinks that the rebels should begin with Y-wings?

Seeing as the rebels had to steal the X-wing, and that they had the Y-wing from the start?

[wuyanxu]

so have the Z-headhunter as lvl1 antifighter squad together with Y-Wing?

[Commander Obi-Wan]

No. I think having X-Wings are just what is needed. I have no problem with it.

[MistenTH]

It does make sense. The Y-Wing is mentioned as being the main rebel fighter until X-Wings came into play. However, the existing Z-95 to X-Wing timeframe in the campaign is way too short to let you appreciate X-Wings (and since corvettes > fighters, we never appreciate them).

[Slocket]

I guess the Rebels believe that 'carpet bombing' diplomacy is so much more efficient with small numbers when their free will living appeal message falls upon deaf ears.

 

lol

X wings are just fine. Not to mention they take out fighters better than TIE's.

[Darth Alec]

But they did start with headhunters and Y-wings in the beginning, so logic says that they should start with that. But I can see some balancing issues.

But... once you get x-wings you can't make Z95s anymore... I mean, the hunting ability of Z95s are actually useful... so you can ignore them and let them do some bomber hunting, while you use your good ships for missions.
