Correct the whole B-wing should be able to swing around the cockpit. In
flight mode (with the s-foils "lowered") the ship often flies with the
body to the right. (It was in the game rebel assault 2) In attack mode
the main body is generally pointing down from the cockpit with the
s-foils (smaller wings) extended. Again though the whole body should be
able to swing around the cockpit. This is what gives a B-wing its
incredible manuverablity.
