If I remember correctly, they included the shields and a more robust life support system to the Tie Advanced to make them, and the pilots last longer. This was the second coming of the empire, and it was a much poorer empire at that point, so they (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Ouch, I would have to disagree with you on that last one. The B-wing is no where near as fast or agile as a Tie Advanced, but it does carry way more armor and weapons. TIE Advanced were one of the latest developments in the TIE series and were (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.starwars)
