Re: Fighters
Best at what? If you want to slash in at a superior enemy fighter formation, rip it up, and get out, then an A Wing would be great but a Y Wing would get you killed. If you wanted to do serious damage to big ships without your own capship support, then a B Wing would be a good choice but an A Wing would be a waste of time. If you need to be able dogfight while still carrying a decent punch then an X Wing could do it, but an A Wing would be too light and a B Wing too sluggish. If you needed something cheap, robust, powerful, a stable gunnery platform and easily maintainable, then the Y Wing beats all the others.Meste17 wrote:Best overall, in terms of most popular and best fighting ship overall.

Well most popular would be the X Wing. The X Wing is probably the most recognizable aside from TIE fighters.

Re: Fighters
There's also the TIE Defender to consider, or the K-Wing and a host of other starfighters. Best ever? Impsossible to figure out IMHO.
Re: Fighters
E-Wing too. It was supposed to be a super fighter. Though it had issues early on. Never bothered to find out if these fighters were one offs.

Re: Fighters
Ks, Es and Defenders were all later models, and the Defender is an Imp - Meste was talking about the rebellion's fighters.
