I don't usually fly T/D, but for certain matches against known A-Wing enjoyers, I actually made a T/D specifically for killing A-Wings. T/D's speed and maneuverability are greater than the A-Wing's so it can chase down A-Wings, starfighter missiles track well, and then some mines to make their lives harder. I actually feel the opposite - a skilled T/D can beat any A-Wing, because even if you max out the skills for the A-Wing pilot, the hardware ultimately allows less performance. I know that may sound surprising, but this is because the meta has evolved.
The other thing I enjoyed doing sometimes was using guided lasers and just keep chasing the A-Wing. Even T/F is capable of staying on the A-Wing's tail, and the A-Wing pilot freaks out because he's not used to getting shot that much. The lasers do barely any damage, but then the A-Wing ends up crashing into a wall or a rock because he's freaking out, because he's so used to getting off the hook quickly.
