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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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. 🤯

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

You guys have such great quality content. 😀

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

Cool excellent work like always

Cool comparisons and breakdown.

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

Your background music never fails to deliver.

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

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

Which fighter do you think is the most realistically viable?

I am absolutely loving this series.

Great video the a wing is awesome.

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

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

Love it, Allen!

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

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

Can you do tie defender?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

COOL VIDEO!!!!

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

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

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

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

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.

And the Tri Fighter is still the best.

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

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

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

Imagine if Anakin owned one of these. Yikes.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

Carboplast = Carbon Fiber

Overengineered and hard to maintain. Sounds VERY german to me

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

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

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.

You just mentioned my favourite atr fighter. Credit to u

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.

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

this channel looks awesome

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

Love your show

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

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.

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.

I always loved the A-Wing, having had a very bad traffic accident, 8 ton truck vs. bicyclist, I spent a lot of time in hospital, because well squish. Since at the time and in the area it was front page news I got visitors one of which was representatives from some of the Star Wars advertising folks and one of the many gifts they gave me was an A-Wing model. The biggest redesign features between Return of the Jedi A-Wing and the Last Jedi, in my opinion, is by slimming down the thickness of the A-Wing allows 2 boxes of A-wings with Last Jedi compared to 1 Box size of the Last Jedi. Movie wise you could hold twice the amount of modern A-Wings when in a stacked launch platform. Oh and the new A-Wing now being able to be used very often since every time it lands it would crush it's tail fins as it only has front landing gear.

A Wing : Wanna see me destroy that Star Destroyer Star Destroyer: *Explodes* A Wing: Wanna see me do it again ?

If you could do an analysis of the B-wing, it would be awesome, either its flaws or its cons, its one of my favorite Star Wars fighters.

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

Fast, compact, weapon ready and good looking. Verdict : A+ Also like the ARC 170, E wing and the X wing.
