Thread: X-Wing Vs. B-Wing

I was wondering why the X-wing has a harder time to hit a target due to the wing seperationor whatever it is called but the B-wing does not. The Fact that the B-wing is shaped like cross when firing makes me think that it should be harder to hit targets than the X-Wings. Now i am not complaining but was only wondering why this was.
Ahh Hebeu, the dreaded convergence issue.... both ships experience it significantly, and it's a constant thorn in my side. I haven't seen that my B-wing hits more.. in fact, for smaller targets 2 of my shots can and often miss completely. I compensate for this by either "I'm tired of missing this sucker!" and throwing everything downrange 'cause I know something's gonna hit.. or, if I want more capacitor recovery, firing individual guns.... sometimes I just want to hit shields.. or armor once the shields're gone.
Also, oddly.. if I'm tracking a target from left to right, my right gun has a much better chance of hitting. This is true for any gun on the star. The B-wing's an ungainly beast to handle, throttle management is high.. and it's nothing close to agile. lol. You can dogfight in one, but don't expect to be nimble.I flew mine exclusively for a week or more just to give it a "fair shake", and I like it a lot. But I won't be packing my X or A up.. sometimes you've just got to be able to dance. <g>
Oh.. btw.... CONGRATS ON MASTER!!!!
