10 FEATURES that made the A-WING the BEST INTERCEPTOR in Star Wars 

A-Wing pilot : Admiral, we have spotted a star destroyer Admiral : Where? A-Wing pilot : We destroyed it when we were on aggressive recon mission

Feature 11: Lets not forget how environmently friendly the A-wing was since it was made of recycled F-14 Tomcat shoulders.

to lose 1 a wing compared to an entire executor is a great trade in my opinion, and if he was going to crash anyway, it was the best use of the ship especially with all the troop's that were on board that dreadnaught

The A-Wing was one of the coolest additions in ROTJ.

1: Its fast. 2: Its really fast. 3: Its really, really fast. 4: Its super fast. 5: ....

You hear all these details? That's the power of the EU! Disney's Lore didn't even include anything but X-Wings to attack the Star Killer because they have a basic if not mere understanding of Star Wars.

You forgot about the fact that the cannons can rotate 180 degrees to shoot behind the ship.

Just imagine an a-wing piloted by a jedi.

The A Wing and Y Wing, although opposites in many ways, were always my two favorite craft. Excellent vid and channel as well. You really do your research!

Here's a thought: What if the lack of a support system built-in the ship (either ETA 2, V-wing or TIE) and the need for the pilot to wear his own life-support suit was motivated by the threat of the Buzz Droids being able to cause the cockpit to decompress and vent? If the pilot's life-support is independent from the integrity of the ship, wouldn't that allow to counter a very real problem, as the pilot wouldn't have to worry about suiting up while in a dogfight if his craft gets damaged. I'm guessing quite a few X-wing pilots met a grisly end when their lungs were sucked out of their throat by the sudden decompression of their cockpit after what could have been a grazing shot from a TIE.

Lol, the fact there were Mahogany panels in that one A-Wing cracked me up

"for the pilot that liked the inertial dampeners dialed down to 95" ah... that reference just made my day.

The A-wing is the fastest fighter we have, capable of matching a TIE Interceptor in speed.

10:25 It clearly shows on the model where the missiles are stored. Though they are surprisingly small.

I much prefer the A-wing over the X-wing, people seem to over hype the X-wing a lot and under appreciate how GOOD the A-wing was

"The A-Wing is the best space superiority fighter." >Rebels "The A-Wing is uh... It's er... It's o k."

My favorite feature of the A-wing? The 1979 Ford dashboard style of HUD! XD

Good point about a Jedi in an A-Wing. They'd be able to strip down the ship even more to get even more performance from it.

The A-Wing is one of my favorite starfighters to pilot in the classic Star Wars combat sims.

Definitely want to see 10 features of the TIE Interceptor, my personal favorite ship and the only thing which competes with the A-wing for best Interceptor.

Do this about Millennium Falcon/Corellian YT-1300 transport.

The A Wing should be the ideal Jedi Starfighter during the Clone Wars, because this thing is really difficult to fly compare to V Wing.

Man... ya gotta LOVE how, in a LOT of ways, Star Wars actually does a great job at accurately portraying the politics and bureaucracy that goes into how big governments go about acquiring and funding defense contracts (or, well,... in the case of the Empire, OFFENSE contracts.) As a Marine veteran, I can tell you that the reason the Empire greenlit the offense contract for the Tie-fighters over the A-Wings sounds EXACTLY why just our RIFLES in the real-life American military are mostly manufactured by Colt - instead of, say, Heckler & Koch, Sig Sauer, IWI, Fabrique Nationale, or Daniel Defense Co. (and that’s just to name a few companies who typically manufacture firearms that are generally of at least substantially better quality, toughness, longevity, accuracy, and ruggedness than those generally manufactured by Colt.) Colt makes M4 carbines and M-16 rifles for the American military in bulk - and they’re what we call, “Not the best you could ask for, but comfortably good enough. ‘This is my Rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine... .’” Yada-yada-yada. The same LARGE-SCALE goal for cost effectiveness applies to commissioning new airframes for our air superiority programs. 🤣 It’s all CONNECTED, man! It’s just insanely cool to me how many story elements of Star Wars can almost VERBATIM sound like how deals unfold in real life. 🤯

It didn't look like an eyeball and actually excelled in its intended role. ^The real reason the A-wing wasn't used by the Empire.

So much love for this ship. So many kills on star wars battlefront with this thing.

Definitely would like to see the Z-95 Headhunter added to the series!

The A-Wing has always been my favorite Star Wars ship. It’s nice to see they were high quality as well as visually appealing.

Glad to say that your videos make work more bearable and go by quicker. Keep up the good work.

Even without the fantasy logistics I always figured the A Wing was one of the more feasible starfighters in Star Wars, because its design is so no-nonsense and compact.

More and more, it seems like the Rebellion's fighter corps has similarities to WW2 Germany's tanks. +High performance? Check. +Revolutionary design? Check. +Heavily armed and defended? Check. -Maintenance nightmare? Check. -Slow production? Check. -Preposterously expensive? Check. It's telling that for all their advantages of shields, armor, hyperspace, and heavier weapons, Rebellion fighters generally only hold their own against basic-model TIE fighters. That suggests those advantages don't actually help all that much. If the choice between A-Wings and TIE fighters is a moderate improvement in performance at triple the price, the Empire probably made the right choice in sticking with the Sienar design. That said, I like the A-wing. It is an ambush predator, leaping out of hyperspace at high speeds to cause instant mayhem, and relying on its blistering speed to get it out of trouble as fast as it got in. That fits the Alliance's doctrine of surprise attacks from hidden bases perfectly. As fast as it is, the TIE is an entirely different animal - and not a bad design either. A Star Destroyer's fighter complement of 72 TIEs (including bomber and recon squadrons) seems more suited to being a defensive and support system, providing a fighter screen for the ISD itself and air support for ground operations. If you wanted a fighter to make Rebel bomber pilots rethink their life choices, a squadron of TIEs goes a long way toward that goal. If I had to eject, I'd also have a bit more confidence in the fully-sealed TIE pilots' flight suit than the open-faced helmets used on Rebel strike craft. If those break up, you're pretty much hosed: every Rebel pilot we see die has the cockpit explode around him, so there's no chance to get a mask sealed. TIE pilots at least have a split second to pull the "loud handle" and take their chances, but Rebel pilots pretty much win or die.

I wish a remake of the X-Wing / Tie Fighter videogames from the early 90's. That game with Frostbite / Unreal graphics and phisics would surelly make us very happy.

Hands down my favorite starwars ship. Thanks for the awesome video. It was cool to learn some information and backstory to this ship. Keep up the awesome work!

I like the Y-Wing, true, but the A-Wing can kick ass. I flew it in my multiple games, and it's very fun to fly, and can be thrown all over the sky with abandon. Its punch isn't exactly weak either. The missiles are stored in revolver-style drums behind the launch tubes, facilitating a fast rearm on the ground.

do a video on the most powerful and most realistic starfighters in sci fi

I just wanted to thank all of you at Generation Tech. You guys make my day. Everytime you release and you have been something to look forward to watch

The A wing has been one of my favorite fighter designs for a while, vindicated! Ty.

Cool excellent work like always

"the kind of pilot who sets his inertial compensator to 95%" Was that an X-Wing novel reference?

Speaking good things about the a-wing!!! I’ve never clicked on a video so fast before.

Love it! Keep up the good work GT!

I like your Christmas tree and nice decorations

After Endor :Demilitarization on the new republic you say? Years later Death Star 3 crippled the new republic

Cool comparisons and breakdown.

You guys have such great quality content. 😀

Which fighter do you think is the most realistically viable?

Can you do tie defender?

Your background music never fails to deliver.

@Generation Tech : The flight scenes look like a video game. Can you tell me which game it was?

What about the Tri-Droid attack on a clone squad lead by two jedis?

How about the V-WING. Or the naboo Starfighter.

I remember playing the old X-wing vs TiE Fighter games. The A-wing was my favorite. I remember a mission where you had to scope out the entire Imperial fleet as it passed through a system. The briefing called for an X-wing, but it was too slow. So I took an A-wing. After a few practice missions (very successful) I decided to do AGRESSIVE recon. Me and my little A-wing took down over a dozen capital ships, including a Victory Star Destroyer, plus a dozen TIE Avengers to boot.

According to Legends, the Imperial Navy doctrine focused more on Capital Ships, and starfighters were relegated to a short-range support role. TIE starfighters fit the doctrine - no hyperdrive and long-term life support meant they couldnt abandon their assigned ship, and cheapness & lack of shields promoted swarm tactics against whatever enemies that the Capital Ship weapons couldn’t deal with. For Imperial pilots, it reinforced the idea that everyone was a cog in the Imperial war machine.

What about the A-wings secret lovechild with the X-wing.... .the E-Wing

The A-Wing is the P-51 of Star Wars

I am absolutely loving this series.

When I watch your videos you rid me of nightmares jumbling up in my brain

I have at least two flaws with this vessel: 1. Guns are still wing-mounted. Though closer together than the X-wings, they still need to have a focal point, decreasing their firing range and usefulness. 2. Where is it getting all this power from? A ship with that many sensors, guns, and extra features is going to need a LOT of power. And those engines surely require it too. Its flight capabilities cannot possibly be long, since it would drain its fuel and batteries far too fast, much like the ME-163 in WWII.

Unfortunately, there are certain imperial canon/legends craft that were technically faster than the A-wing: #3: Cygnus Spaceworks Missle Boat going 122 #2: TIE Avenger: 133 #1: TIE Defender: 144

Love it, Allen!

Where you reference the ARC-170, "aggressive reconnaissance" could refer to two separate roles, attack and recon, like how the RAF classifies some of its aircraft, such as the Tornado GR.Mk4. It was tasked with ground attack (G) and recon (R) but it would not likely do them both on the same sortie.

The Legends story was far better for the A-Wing.

Top speed in space really makes no sense other than c. :') There's nothing causing significant drag in space. I'll just change speed into maximum acceleration in my mind.

TAPE Gaming's KSP Fighter Jet Showdown series once featured an A-Wing. It was surprisingly very effective, no repulsorlifts necessary.

We need to see all these futures being used in the films, I know Episode 2 is no really popular, but seeing jango Fett piloting the Slave 1 and unleashing its arsenal was genius!

And the Tri Fighter is still the best.

10 Features that made the TIE Defender the best TIE. Try 7

Nice to see the Christmas tree at an appropriate time of the year 😘

Good video. I always liked the A Wing although it seems a little too small to have all the features it supposedly possessed. Do you think you could do a video examining Correlian corvettes or Nebulan B frigates? I always thought these were pretty cool.

Still prefer my TIE Interceptor my dude, bu the A-Wing is still a good fighter.

The Tie Fighter is a joke a flying coffin just like those smart cars

Great video the a wing is awesome.

Great job.. Tons of info.. Not sure where you get it from? But whatever.. I still love it

Imagine if Anakin owned one of these. Yikes.

Carboplast = Carbon Fiber

Where are that rbs on the tips of a LAAT for? I know it have noting similar whit the A-wing.

I would Love to see a Video on. 10 Pros and 10 Cons for Standard Mobile Suits from the Gundam Series. :)

Overengineered and hard to maintain. Sounds VERY german to me

I am gonna have to disagree. The A-Wing Interceptor is the best Rebel Interceptor. But it was out performed in every way by TIE Interceptors. The Interceptor is constantly shown murdering A-Wings in mass. Its cannons are powerful enough to kill any Rebel fighter with a single beam as seen in ROTJ, Blade Squadron, and all the Rebels episodes with TIE Defenders as they have the same cannons. The Interceptor and Defender had the most powerful targeting computers in the war, and its likely what gave the TIE Interceptor the edge to get past the A-Wing Interceptors jammers. Interceptors and Fighters are very modular, and because the Interceptors have the same reactors TIE Avengers have, they easily could mount shields, hyperdrives, projectile launchers, beam weaponry like tractor beams, tactical beam jammers, all at once with no issue. The TIE Interceptor Squadron Avenger, and the Royal Guard Interceptors did this. Also despite what channels say about any TIE, all Rebellion era fighters have 360 3d ftl passive and active sensors of various kinds. The only way they wont see an attacker coming is if they are hard jammed, or preoccupied.

Nice video!! have you guys thought about the B-WING?! that is one amazing starfighter!

A-Wing was always my favorite fighter to fly in the X-Wing games. Excellent ship.

10 FEATURES that made GENERATION TECH the BEST CHANNEL on the entire UNIVERSE.

No that’s the tri fighter this is just Rebel propaganda

DO THE NABBOOOOOO FIGHTERS!!!!!!! i love those haha even if its a flaw video be dope love this channel

Where do you get the pictures of the insides of the vehicle in this video and other ones from the ten flaws series?

i've always underestimated the A-wing. thanks for this video

Where do you get all the footage you use? I'm seeing game footage from stuff I've never seen. There's also what looks like fan film footage. And some really cool other animation stuff.

The paint scheme and overall stats of the A-Wing always reminded me of the Vipers from BSG.

What is that space combat game you use your footage from? It looks really fun

The inertial compensateor is basically like a physics teacher strapped to a ship ignoring air resistance and making how to figure out how it flies confuseing

I’m not sure how true that is, but apparently it’s also possible to carry several A-wings stashed inside a blockade runner corvette as well, giving you more flexibility beyond the ship’s hyperdrive if you need to make longer distance hyperspace jumps

The tactics that the A wing specialized in were called high-side gun pass or Boom and Zoom. It was set up during WWII and the specialty of fighters like the Mustang or Focke-Wulf. Before that it was more about turn fighters, which was more a specialty of the Zero.

how about one day after you finished or are a long way into the 10 flaws series do a " 10 ways to fix the xxX" where you grab the most flawed vehicles and re-design them to improve their design

A bunch of these, armed with defoliators and those ion cannons used on the Lassats VS Yuuzan Vong bioships.

Could you do a break down for the TIE Interceptor?? I saw the one with the regular TIE Fighter.

This is my personal favorite fighter in Star Wars. One feature I like is that 2 of these can be attached to a CR90 corvette for quick fighter assistance.

On battlefront 2, I use the a wing in the same manner on starship assault. It really does the job. I'll look for targets who are attacking my team mates or people who are alone
