I'm practicing my bwing skills with the Kashyyyk space station mission (Tier 5 Ghrag mercenaries).

I've got the fighters down no problem, but when that Tier 5 gunboat appears once the fighters are taken care of...I can't survive the encounter.

I've got good 74/75 YPR engines, my weapons are low at 2500 max dam (all 4 of them) and I've got missiles (Mark III and II proton).

My shields are 2555 with 14+ recharge, and I run Reactor overload 3, Cap overload 4, and I use cap to shield shunt 4 when required.

With a straight-on fight, my shields go down too quickly to finish off the gunboat, which has 3 tracking turrets.

Do you spin with the bwing in your approach?

I appreciate any gunboat destroying tactics (in a bwing) that you can give me.

Cordially,

Thank you!

I'll upgrade my guns to 3 or 4k max damage, and also my missile launchers...perhaps space bomb launchers?

I'll see how it fares against a Tier 5 gunboat with the new loadout.

I'm all ears for other tips on gunboat takedown witha bwing

Best tip I can give you on the B-Wing is...

..use the Heavy X.

If you're not using an L10 Engine with at least 80 YPR, its not gonna be much use in a dog fight.

I will have to disagree there. I flew my B-wing with a lvl 6 RE engine. PYR all 70 or less. And I managed quite well in both PVE and PVP. I will not deny that higher end components would have let me do better, but to say that without them makes it is not of much use is not entirely accurate.
