It is actually even more interesting to consider, that the Fairy Swordfish wasn't an obsolete aircraft, but a modern naval torpedobomber at the time. Just consider that it was the only aircraft that started the war in active frontline service and ended the war in active frontline service, and that it accounted for more enemy tonnage than any other airplane in history. That is why the BTL-B is such a good fit.

These new graphics are amazing, y'all have outdone yourselves!

These things were supposedly obsolete when I served in the Imperial Navy (from about the Hoth Campaign to just before the Battle of Endor), but I must say that the Rebel Alliance and other terrorists used them to excellent effect. They make superb long-range raiders. Though they're easy enough to kill even in a baseline TIE Fighter, the time to kill is quite annoyingly long. If deployed in large enough numbers (especially with a good fighter escort of X- or A-Wings to keep us busy), these damn Y-Wings could do massive damage to installations, capital ships, and especially freighters with proton torpedo or heavy rocket strikes. So in short, I must give them due respect even as I want them all to DIE DIE I HATE YOU DIE DIE DIE!!! Ahem. Yes. Respect. Long live the Emperor.

If the X-Wing is the Rebellion's Spitfire, then the Y-Wing is their Hurricane. Not as flashy, fast, or iconic but stalwart, lethal and hard to kill.

From being the teeth of the Republic's navy to being the workhorse and backbone of the Alliance the Y-Wing is truly a one of the most important and beautifully designed starfighters in galactic history.

I like the this original BTL configuration best. All the B.S. about how stripping the armor of made it faster is total Bunk. It's a space craft, in space weight is not as critical as is power out put. Once a ship is in motion it will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. Basic Newtonian law of motion. The only time aerodynamic drag/weight/thrust would be of any concern is in atmosphere. Something the BTL only does as a planet side Ground Attacker, to which you want as much armor/shielding you can carry. Like an A-10 compared to an F-35. Star Wars like most other space based shows has people believing that "Plane in Scape" physic's is real. The one show that does the physic's right is "The Expanse".

I would rather put it on the lineage of Ju 87, SBD-3 or the Japanese B5N-7N series of bombers.

To be honest, I didn't like this choice. I feel like they gave a Y-wing variation to the Republic just to use a more familiar ship design that the Rebels would eventually use. I get that they didn't fit with the Tarkin Doctorine of the Empire. But the idea that the Empire had such a successful fighter and melted them down into scrap, instead of just phasing them out slowly like other ships is just weird. We know the Empire kept using V-Wings and Arc 170s for a few years at least. That they didn't continue using the Y-Wing makes little sense. I think it would have made much more sense had the ship remained in service until its manufacturer was discovered to have Rebel sympathies, then the remaining ships would be destroyed to avoid them falling into Rebel hands.

great graphics update!

In my personal head cannon the y wing is replaced / upgraded mirroring the history of the Manchester to Lancaster bombers, with a direct logical replacement. something that echoes all of the functionality, and doubles its utility.

My opinion on the Y-wing has done a complete 180 over the years. At first I didn't like it because of it's age, it's slow pace and the existence of the B-wing. Now I love the Y-wing because of it's simplicity, efficiency and effectiveness at it's role; it's doesn't need to be flashy or superpowered to get the job done. It's a close battle between this and the more famous BTL-A4 but I say the BTL-B just edges ahead in my preference, mostly due to the extra gunner.
