    "Sir, the pilots for the new TIE fighter are complaining about having a limited field of view" "Sucks to be them"
  • @SacredGumby
    They are missing the point where the tie pilot would just spin his tie 180 degree horizontally and shoot the x-wing as it goes the other way.
  • @TheManicMole
    I love the pause when he stares at the wall "oh yer, there is no side windows... and even if there were the wings would block them."
  • @debes102195
    I thought imperial pilots helmets had a visor that gave them 360 degree visibility through the walls?
  • @Shadx27
    In Tie Fighter PC game, the sensors do give 360 degree coverage.
  • @PeacePetal
    TIE Fighter is more maneuverable and has sensors. Honestly in the OG flight simulator, TIE had better vision than the Rebel fighters because you use the sensors when they're behind you anyway, and having that great frontal vision made deflection shooting easier.
  • @caarctr00per
    Alternatively, “fighter combat as described in the Rogue Squadron books.”
  • @sagasky
    Scientifically accurate feels more like Star Wars tie fighter game
  • @skenzyme81
    I'll try drifting — that's a good trick!
  • @stormykeep9213
    That "power slide..." Corran Horn's favorite maneuver in the X-Wing novel series!
  • @yagxr
    “scientifically accurate.” who’s gonna tell him? edit: they changed the title. that should be quite obvious.
  • @Emberheart_
    It's why the old games had view panels on those sides that projected what a window would have shown.
  • @adamb89
    You can do this in Star Wars: Squadrons. There's a specific training mission that teaches you how to do this. Like, you can cut your engines, flip a 180, and fire while flying backwards.
  • @xSuperFryx
    In Squadrons I felt like the TIE had more visibility than the rebel fighters since you could see the bottom half of the screen. Excluding VR
  • @MikMoen
    Scientifically accurate: X-Wing cuts engines, rotates 180 degrees to face the TiE and fires back while momentum continues to carry him "forward". There's actually a scene just like that in Battlestar: Galactica.
  • @YnossZaperator
    When the X-wing is clever enough to outsmart the TIE fighter basically.
  • You should do a breakdown of Thrawn’s strategy during the escape from peridea. I find it interesting and it’s an underrated battle that doesn’t get as much attention as it should.
