  • We take a look at the Y wing from its roots during the Clone Wars in the Grand Army of the Republic to its reintroduction during Galactic Civil War in the hands of the Rebel Alliance Navy and it's re-reintroduction during the New Republic Era.

      To be fair, the B52 is a tad bit older, but the analogy still fits. Rarely does two branches of the DoD agree with each other, but when the Air Force announced plans to retire the A10, rumour has it both the Army and Marines both jointly told the AF where they could shove that particuar idea, especially since both really do treat the A10 even more than the AC130 as 'Angels from above'...

    The Y Wing makes sense when you think through what Lucas’s influences for the Space Battles was. WW2 Battles and dog fights. While the trench run is lifted almost entirely from the classic movies (and actual RAF bombing group) the Dam Busters, the Y Wings in particular the Y Wings in Episode IV seem to borrow more from the Pacific War. Heavy, slow, obsolete but still filling a necessary role and easy pickings for agile fighters. The Y Wing is the American TBD Devastator. In particular the Devastator and the role it played in the Battle of Midway.

Legal StarFortress was meant to be bad design using shitty photon bombs, in order to make clear scale of Republic weakness.

      In their respective contexts, the A-10 is tougher and much more heavily armed. The Y-Wing is designed to get in quick, hit hard, and then move before anyone can shoot back. The A-10 is designed to loiter for a while, raining death from above until it runs out of fuel. They're very different vehicles designed for different purposes. The Y-Wing is analogous to a torpedo bomber, the A-10 is a ground attacker/CAS plane.

      The B-52 has been in service in the USAF since 1955. It's a 65 year old design. The A-10 is 43 years old. If it's a reliable design that can be easily modified and upgraded like the B-52. Or even kept nearly exactly the same like the A-10. All that matters in that case is that it is an effective design for a role that can't be better filled by some other fighter, fighter bomber, attacker, or bomber.
      That said, a 51 year old y wing is perfectly reasonable.

      @Ryuondo That's all true, but the B-52 is a strategic bomber and the A-10 is a CAS plane, both roles that don't require as rapid improvement as other roles. In the last 50 years, the USAF has gone through 3 generations of fighters, with the F-4 Phantom, then the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon, then the F-22 Raptor. Even if the Y-Wing is still suited to its role as a torpedo bomber, there's no reason the Resistance should still be flying 40-year old X-Wing designs and 30-year old A-wings.

    Devolution of Y Wing. The Old Republic Y Wing is a formidable ship capable of doing bombing runs and strafing while able to taking heavy damage like the real life A-10. Rebel/Early New Republic Y Wing is the same ship without armour plating born out of necessity due to budget cuts, ease of maintenance, better maneuverability and speed buff, while Resistance Y Wing is questionable.

  • @victorbruant389

    The Y-Wing is the work horse of the rebel fleet. It’s not quick or flashy but it gets the job done.
    The armor on this ship is extensive, and the shields will protect you from just about anything, which is good,
    because you won’t be going anywhere fast.
    The Y-Wing is used mainly as a bomber because it can carry a heavy payload of missiles,
    torpedoes and bombs.
    The other important weapon is the topside ION canon, which rather than destroying a target,
    can disable it for later capture. Our cannons have a computer assisted auto-fire feature,
    so don’t forget that when you're in the heat of battle.

      I wasn't considering PDFs as Republic warships, especially since the Republic outright banned any navy capable of full scale warfare, like the Trade Federation.
      Also, if you look at that Republic Navy, it is what the Canon NR had. Remember, the First Order was basically North Korea in the eyes of the NR. Weirdos who were supposed to be using leftover outdated ships. The NR, and very few in the galaxy, knew that the First Order had a military buildup, and no one practically knew of the Sith Eternal Order behind it.
      Lastly, while yes, it is safest to always have a massive military, very few successful countries actually do that in real life.
      Most nations maintain a relatively small navy, enough to protect itself from small threats. Always having an enormous military is simply not financially possible. North Korea bankrupts itself doing that, so does Russia, and even the US is trillions and trillions of dollars in debt maintaining it's military. So, as the New Republic recovers from war, it is only logical to downsize the military and have it focus on A- pirates and the like, and B- small Imperial threats like the First Order was supposed to be. And in that, you can see they did well. The T85 was a fantastic space superiority fighter, the new Y-Wing was a long range patrol fighter perfectly suited for planetary defense, the B-Wing was great for anti-ship duties. In terms of capital ships, Nebulon frigates and the like were battle proven and upgraded from their Galactic Civil War predecessors. Meanwhile, ships like the Starhawk class and Mon Cala cruisers were the best the Republic ever had against the Empire. Honestly, the only truly dumb part of this was having the whole Navy in the Hosnian system. Nobody would actually do that lol, the fleet would operate from several "harbors" around the galaxy. More realistically, the FO would have just knocked out a sector's defenses and would have enabled them to launch a devestating blitz, not a one hit ko like in TFA.

    How was the First Order able to Blitz multiple Star Systems after Starkiller? They literally lost a planet!
