Umm, Im a rebel, but those Awings flitting around Kashyyk space are easy to kill! In an Xwing, which is nowhere near as manouverable as Imperial fighters.

Its not manuverablity as it is weapons spread. Chin mounted guns dont cover a very large area, so your aiming has to be right on the dot.

An Xwing has a very large weapon spread, and has a much higher hit probability.

I near miss in an Xwing isnt so bad, you got other guns that might catch it and make up for the misplaced shot. But in a Tie, if you miss, you miss wide.

Tbh, I find it much easier to hit with centerline weapons than wingmounts, no matter how many I have. It just "feels" easier when flying a Y, JSF, or A!

Maybe thats just me!

Made it before all hell broke loose.

For faster ships like Interceptors, A-wings, droid ships you need to lead the targetting reticle slightly, whether it's compesating for lag or hitting them in the nose I don't know. and sometime even tailing the reticle slightly works, i assume it's hitting them in the aft section.

Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, Chef's attorney would certainly want you to believe that his client wrote "Stinky Britches" ten years ago. And they make a good case. Hell, I almost felt pity myself!

But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen this [pointing to a picture of Chewbacca] is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! (Background: Damnit! What? He's using the Chewbacca defense!) Why would a Wookiee—an eight foot tall Wookiee—want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

But more important, you have to ask yourself, what does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!

Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense!

And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.

If Chewbacca lived on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
