Fail. The b-wing is the successor to the y-wing. The y-wing was the original "bomber" for the RA. The b-wing was developed as a response to the "newer" more powerful capital ships (star destroyers). The b-wing was designed specifically to take these ships head on. quote: "The B-wing carried an unusually high payload for its size, due to its designation as an assault fighter. As originally designed, the B-wing carried three ion cannons, two proton torpedo launchers, one laser cannon, and two auto-blasters. Most B-wings had their two auto-blasters replaced with laser cannons to improve survivability and firepower, though some B-wings had four auto-blasters. The B-wing was originally designed with a unique fire-control system which fires low-power lasers at a target to give the computer range and vector information for the torpedoes and ion cannons. While its strong deflector shields and great firepower allowed it to be somewhat survivable in fighter engagements, it usually required an escort on the way in. However, with the firepower of many naval corvettes, it fulfilled its purpose as a dangerous foe against many light capital ships." Know your star wars or stfu.

@dieAntagonista: because...why? Or else....? I have to listen to psuedo-emo bitch go off on some tangent about jew-hating being equivalent to eating babies, or whatever other weird dumb, profoundly time-wasting diatribe she happens to come up with? Please.. Whatever she has to say at this point falls on deaf-ears. Another "statistic" is what she is. Good Riddance. - Comment on Flyleaf (2009-03-25 16:01:03)
@dieAntagonista: I don't really care what your opinion is about people being "elitist" for not liking your band... That's the kid whining cause the other kids don't like the game he wants to play, so he takes his metaphorical ball and goes home. dieA. You're hot chicka, but looks only do so much. Once in a while, how about shut the fuck up. You talk tooooooooo much. If you spent HALF the energy you do on "correcting wrong people on the internet," on something... ELSE.. Who knows, there could be a cure for cancer somewhere in that equation. I'm honestly sick of reading funny comments only to have my enjoyment train derailed by your bullshit opinions. - Comment on Windows Vista (2009-02-25 09:13:00)
