MBS Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 Im just judging by X-wing alliance but im assuming that it will be good for killing other air units but be terribable for killing anything on the ground?
TheMadDoofer Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 That's what I heard! A-wings rule the skies but suck the ground.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 I haven't used the A-Wing much. However, it's very fast and can take out other air units fast. But yes, weak against anything on the ground. Good for supporting your bombers and Air cruiser DMUK http://www.galacticbattles.com/clonecampaigns New section is up
JEDI_MASTA Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 because he is a noob and needs the extra practice j/k
XERXES Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 they rule the skies...go and play the classic games X-Wing and Tie Fighter.
NewtypeJedi Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 The A-Wings' stats are REALLY WEAK so I'm guessing it's an ultra-fast scout. With a 2 attack and 15 HP, there's not much else you're going to be able to do with it except sniping workers unless it has huge advantages against certain types of enemies.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 It's ptobably just a replacemnet when u can't afford fighters.

But if you notice, they also have superior range to normal fighters. This could make them especially useful for taking them out if massed.
duder Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Neither do I, I'm going by the stats that DMUK posted in the new civ sections.
Jedi_Chaos Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Looking at the new stats that have been posted I agree with duder on the range factor....throw in their speed and a wave of them can probably be very useful and interesting to use in both air defense and quickly striking incoming enemy bombers and cruisers.... Even if they are wiped out by enemy fighters defending the cruisers it would be worth it to counter the damage cruisers can do.... Ahhh, looks like another reason I cant wait to get my hands on the game and try things out....
captain_drake Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 I heard that the A wing is the Rebels air cruiser
duder Posted May 7, 2002 Posted May 7, 2002 You heard wrong. Check the Rebels civ page on gb.com for more details.

Compa_Mighty Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 People, those stats don't show the bonus, they'll surely have a good bonus against fighters and bombers.
Automaton Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 The thing I dont' really like is if the Rebels get to have two unique units, how is that made up for by way of balancing the other civilizations?
Heavyarms Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 the balance of power will not be changed, IMO. If you noticed, the snowspeeder was hard to implement into someone's army, due to its lack of armor to anti air, and it will now be harder for it to kill mechs with anti air at-at's. The A-wing, also, is a small compliment to the RA's AF.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 The AT-AT's, although can fire at air units, isnt very accurate - so it will take a few shots to hit its target. Like I have said before, the A-Wing is very quick, if not the fastest moving fighter and with a range a little better than normal fighters. The fact it is cheap, makes it a great scout or escort fighter for the Air Cruiser. DMUK http://www.galacticbattles.com/clonecampaigns
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Hey Auto, remember Confids have those craetures as more UUs and no-one has a probe droid units like the Imps have.
General Nilaar Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 Speaking as an Imperial Player, I'd like to trade my probe droid in for something else.... maybe a Tie Advanced. It could have a bonus against shielded units or something;) Join Imperial Vengeance: http://telhazen.home.att.net/
MBS Posted May 10, 2002 Author Posted May 10, 2002 Why? you already have the Tie Defender, which in X-wing Alliance is superior to the Tie Advance in every single way
