im still not quite understanding why people say the IGI is more manuverable. the grevious and JSF both have 600/600/300 ypr stats and turn at 100% throttle. (afaik) the IGI has 300/300/150, less mass and a slightly larger hitbox. I understand it's a 1.0 ship, that's awesome but as far as manueverability goes wouldn't the heavy tie/JSF/grevious beat out the IGI every time?


what exactly does "time it takes to "snap" to a turn" mean? if the ships are essentially the same then what is the benefit of 600/600/300 as opposed to 300/300/150? even if they turned similarly, wouldn't one (provided they were going for a light fighter) still prefer the JSF due to the smaller hitbox? is the hitbox truly smaller? I see the point about the quad cannons of course, but I'm really having issues wrapping my brain around preference based on turns when stats seem to indicate otherwise.


can anyone explain it? perhaps in way that a small monkey or child could understand?

This IGI =300/300/150 ypr is faster than this grevious and JSF = 600/600/300 ypr


IGI > grevious and JSF

Its not really an "I win" button as a every rebel pilot pretty much flies a JSF now - which is good enough to take out the RG.

No concern because rather than freaking out, those who can just fly and fight. Things are no more unbalanced now than they were pre-RotW, people are just flying different ships. The only onesworried are those who didn't spend much time in Deep Space beforehand, and have no clue what was up there. I spent my fair share of time chasing rebels in A-Wings with small hitboxes. Substitute ability for your "I Win" ship any day, and the playing field suddenly becomes much more level.
