Thread: Imperial Guard Interceptor: What is the point?
This IGI =300/300/150 ypr is faster than this grevious and JSF = 600/600/300 ypr

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?

Don't at least some of you see the potential of this ship making a mockery of the PvP system? One side of the war gets an ''I Win'' ship, and there isn't any concern over it, just 'Oh, too bad the secret is out, I wanted to use mine.' How awful! *sigh* ... maybe it's just me.

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.
