The Y-wing favors versatility and speed, while the Starfortress was designed to bring a much greater explosive payload to bear on the enemy. “.To say the Y-wing is a better design than the Starfortress ignores the fact that they're clearly intended for different jobs with different design priorities. Similarly, an IL-2 simply won't have the range or payload to attack Berlin from a base in London. If you try to swap the roles and have a B-17 attacking a tank, you're not going to have a lot of success. The B-17 was designed for long-range missions over enemy territory, while the IL-2 was mainly a tank-buster intended to operate on the front lines. “Both designs are excellent, but they serve different functions. “The Y-wing, on the other hand, seems to be more inspired by smaller tactical bombers and attack aircraft, like the Ilyushin IL-2 "Sturmovik" operated by the Soviet Union. Even the official designation, SF-17, is a clear tip of the hat to the B-17 specifically. the design of the Starfortress is clearly inspired by the strategic bombers of WWII, taking design cues from them in terms of capabilites and role. The onscreen evidence shows pretty definitively that the ship is actually an effective design (shocking, I know) that fell victim to bad luck and weak battle tactics.
If you don’t believe me, talk about it to Eckhartsladder.īack in the day had a pretty comprehensive discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of the Starfortress bombers, and the reasons they were all destroyed at D’Qar. All I’m saying is that the Resistance Y-wing is a very durable ship in extremely large numbers, but against the First Order Dreadnought the MG-100 StarFortress in numbers up to 6 MG-100’s would bring the Dreadnought to the ground. If they had Y-wings at the battles, the resistance would have been destroyed at the battle of D’Qar. Then they lost all their fighters when Kylo Ren blew up the hanger. The resistance lost 9 fighters including X-wings and A-wings. Y-wings, all the fighters add up to 50 fighters. Though, the Y-wings during the battle would take evasive maneuvers then the ties would rip them to shreds due to the late number of ties. Despite it, I love the maneuverability and the damage output of the Y-wing, I feel like the Y-wings would be destroyed before they reached the dreadnought. If you could see, the First Order had at least 6 squadrons of ties and 2 squadrons of special forces ties.
Y-wing was heavily armored and armed, the Y-wing is still slow and outnumbered. The resistance was forced to use the MG-100 starfortress because of the amount of credits the resistance and because even though the resistance
