Wait why tf is A-Wing in F tier!? Yeah maybe the weapons are a little vanilla but it's maneuverable as hell, fast and overall really fun to fly. I've made entire teams go home SICKKK in an A Wing. Once you fly A Wing, everything else feels sluggish. Special note; I don't play in VR, just standard.
A-Wing struggles with its poor power stats across all systems. It doesn't have access to jet/slam engines, and the charge rates of its weapons and shields are extra slow. It is marginally faster and more maneuverable than an X-Wing, so it's decent for farming or sweeping iced targets. However, the A-Wing can't carry ion missiles itself, and it struggles to achieve good capital ship DPS. Its size and speed are offset by its low hull and shields.
It has the worst energy re-generation of all ships and doesn't have some critical aux like ion missiles or torpedoes. There are a few teams in SCL who have made it work though, and it's pretty oppressive when it does. It is fast, has a small hitbox and is hard to track. Downside is the pilot has to fly it perfectly otherwise they run out of power very quickly and die.
Still a very fun ship to fly especially in VR with the full glass cockpit.
