(...) you... (...) My understanding was that the B-Wing was the heavy, heavy, heavy duty fighter that could take a lot of damage from fighters and take on up to smallish capital size ships in combat. The A-Wing was the hit and run type fighter or (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Basically the Y-wing is an old fighter/bomber that by the end of the trilogy was pretty much past its useful service. The A-wing is a very fast but not very powerful fighter. Because of its speed it is better at fighting Tie-interceptors in (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) you... (...) The B-wing is suppossed to have enough fire power to take on a Star Destroyer. More of a "heavy" fighter I guess. The A-wing on the other hand is a highly agile and fast fighter, much like an interceptor. The military has specific (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

No flames please = ) I consider myself a SW fan, but by no means do I know as much as many of you... What is the purpose of the B-wing and A-wing? (vs. the X-wing and Y-wing) I realize the x-wing is a mainline fighter and the Y-wing is a (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well I recently had the opportunity to see Ep#1 again and the updated editions of SW 4-6. here are my thoughts on a variety of sets: Why not a stormtrooper polybag? (hey, you never know) I think a Tantive 5/blockade runner and a Star Destroyer (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Definitely a good point. That's why I doubt a $50 Imperial Shuttle will be produced. It's not recognizable enough to warrant such a high price tag. This is a guess, but I think it's recognition would be comparable to that of the A-wing or (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Along some similar lines though I have been thinking that if I had 2 UCS TIE Interceptor sets I could build all (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
