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
the convoy escort type fighter, either way it was just designed to be fast as
all get out and pack lighter armament than the other rebel fighters. All the
rebel fighters have hyperdrives but only the X-Wing and the Y-Wing have
Astromech droids, the other two have onboard computers that do the trick,
apparently. The Expanded Universe has the E-Wing and the V-Wing and maybe some
others, but I really don't know about that... =)
