Thread: XWING vs TIE FIGHTER

if you remember the xwing series: xwing, tie fighter, xwing vs tie fighter....they were about a million times more fun than this junk we got in space
don't get me wrong, the art is wonderful...but the mechanics are horrible, I got JTL right when it launched, mastered pilot within a few days and refuse to waste my time with the crapfest that goes on in the skies above our planets...it's just not enjoyable, other than the artwork.
in pve there is no balance....enemy ships have far more defense than any player controlled ship, and their weapons are underpowered except for the high tier, larger ships, which are extremely overpowered given that they still have excessive defense
in pvp there is no fun....my ship takes out ANY opposing ship with two salvo's from my cannons, if they get the jump on me when my backs turned, same result in reverse
the problem lies in the fact that the components available are not ship specific....if you go back and look at the previously mentioned games you will see that an awing is faster than any xwing or bwing or assault gunboat or regular tie.....you will see the regular ties outmanuevering ywings....you will see the increased firepower of a bwing over most other ships to compensate for loss of mobility and speed.
there are other ways to make the game fun and challenging than giving npc ships increased defense and 100% accuracy....pve and pvp need to be balanced....the fast ships need to be the fastest...the heavy hitters need to be the heavy hitters....xwing vs tie fighter was mastercraft...still more enjoyable today than JTL....there is so much untapped potential in JTL.....please....fix it....give us a fun game......make it so the best component for a particular ship is a maximum of twice the effectiveness of the worst...give ships their own roles, and allow them to excel at those roles...please....fix it
Why don't you do us all a favor and just go back to the ground where you came from. Save our eyes from seeing you whine and moan.
I happen to love JTL. Yes XvT was a lot of fun, but it's a completely different game. You have to treat it that way. That's like comparing apples to oranges.
NPC ships do not have 100% accuracy. They miss quite often actually. 100% accuracy was back when the Aggressor turret never missed you. But if you know how to fly then you're not going to get hit.
Same thing in PvP. If you take 2 up the rear then you are NOT paying attention and you deserved to die. There is something called situational awareness. You need to learn to use it. Hit the z key, watch your radar. and for god sakes Learn to fly! Because then you wouldn't be coming on the boards and whining like you're doing now.

have you solo'd a star destroyer? I have...you have top 5%best on servercannons and shields? I do
have you played xwing? have you played tie fighter? I have...JtL is a joke in comparison
I was master pilot within days of launch...again...if pvp for you is lasting longer than 30 seconds you or your opponentaredoing something wrong
Top 5% cannon and shields? Who the hell cares. That's an irrelevent statement. You're Shields and Cannon make NO DIFFERENCE. You could have the best. You could have 3 lvl 10's that do over 6k each. I don't care. It does not make you a better flyer. If you can't hit you're target and know how to avoid being hit then they might as well be shooting spit wads and be a tissue shield system.
I have an imperial alt and made him master pilot. Yesterday I was flying around in my Oppressor looting in DS when I ran into a rebel in a JSF. Quickly launched 3 missles at him and he went boom. He came back for more and learned from his mistake. He got in close to me not allowing me to get a lock and we duked it out with lasers. It took him 4 hits to take me out. And I only have 1900f/b shields. And still took him over 40 seconds to swat me down. Then I came back in a regular interceptor loaded with a lvl 10 engine and lvl 4 blasters. And still took him out. Its called knowing how to fly. and knowing your limits
Yes I played xwing, Yes I played XvT, Yes I played XWA. But again. Those are different games. JTL is unique in that you can customize your ship how you want it.
It doesn't matter if you're a master pilot. I started pvp when I was only 3433. And I still took ppl out. 30 seconds is wrong? Well you obviously dont' know much about this game.
Again, go back to the ground.
