are y-wings shit

imo y-wings suck as hell

> introduced in clone wars and their updates in the rebellion era kinda sucked
> outdated and inferior by the time of battle of yavin, worst starfighters in the alliance, outmatched by any empire vessel already
> after battle of yavin the empire started to actually care for the starfighters, before that, not so much
> insanely inferior to b-wings
> then k-wings turned out to be even better than b-wings

this shit was getting phased out of usage a decade before the vong war

lol @ ywings

Yes, a Rebel Alliance which has to use what they can to get by is using outdated starfighters and technology...that's nothing new, nor why I'm seeing it as a negative. Also they were somewhat regulated to lesser roles as time went on, though the upgrades they did receive at them in specialized roles which they were well suited for. But they are clearly something given they are noted for being durable and their firepower, so they aren't that bad. Outdated? Yes, but that doesn't mean they still can't be useful.

They performed a highly specific niche (disabling capital ships and hard targets) and they were adequate at fulfilling that role. Comparing them to more advanced ships created with the luxury of increased funding and resources is pointless.

They would've made a better option than those bombers in TLJ. B-Wing are where it's at.

Lol Speaking off B-Wings I think I remember something about my friend David almost breaking my lego model of that when I was a kid. I always liked the rotating design.

Rion Johnson deserves to get ****ed with a rusty knife. Him, and whoever thought it'd be a good idea to have someone who doesn't like (or at bare minimum, never gave a shit about) Star Wars as a setting direct a ****ing Star Wars movie.

lmfao the tlj bombers are so retarded

even the clone wars y-wings stomp because they at least make sense

I really like the interest you show for Star Wars ships,it’s an original topic that for once doesn’t focus on force users

Would Y-Wings happen to be less costly than most?

in the times of New Republic yes, they were basically trash you could buy for several credits kek

Did they come in larger fleets than most?

nah, because they were basically useless in actual military campaigns; most of them were scrapped, they were favored only by poor localized militaries of second grade planets and rebel groups

No! They are just special!

If the Y stands for Yorik-et, then yes.

Y-Wings were described in at least two legends sources as being "the workhorse of the Rebellion", which implies that they saw heavy use during the war, and if you think about it logically the Y-Wing is actually better suited to the Rebellion's needs then the more prolific X-Wing. The X-Wing is a better air superiority fighter then a Y-Wing and is also more flexible in its loadout, but dogfighting is a luxury. The Rebels mainly performed hit and run strikes, as they couldn't beat the Empire in protracted engagements. To that end, having a flyer that can pop out of lightspeed, bomb the shit out of a target and then leave before defenders scrambled for a counter-attacks was incredibly valuable.

Here, enjoy this random high-quality gif from a movie we've all seen.

kill self

Best thing about the Y is that it is one of the Very Few SW Ships that can shoot behind it self.

It's actually amazing how dogshit the bombers in TLJ are compared to the tech we saw in the previous films.

I joked with my friend earlier about him directing an episode of the Mandalorian and how terrible it'd be.
