Why not a 5% only bc ur 'Red Five'
Something about the B-Wing has always done it for me. The massive amount of weaponry rotating around the cockpit. Such a cool design.
Completely impractical in *almost* every way, like no sane reason to design it that way - yet rule of cool wins.
I used to like it because it wasn't featured in much back in the day. In Rouge Squadren 64 it wasn't available. So it had mystery status. Now that I'm older I'm more into the TIE Avenger or the TIE Defender. B-Wings pack punch but they can't fight for shite.
cant imagine how hard itll be to pilot tho, literally half of the ship is out of view from the cockpit, imagine trying to fly in narrow spaces like that
@@billross9132 If I recall correctly, the B-Wing was designed as more of a weapons platform to take on cruisers rather than a fighter. If so, I'd imagine there wouldn't be a ton of tight maneuvering. My head cannon is a line of them just unloading on a larger ship.
@@kennoegs goes for any ship like that tbh, even the millenium Falcon is designed with the cockpit all the way on one side, no wonder y lando almost crashed into the death Star
The original T65 X-Wing fighter from the Original Trilogy will always be my favorite Rebel Starfighter.
The x-wing the y-wing the A-wing and the B-wing are 4 of my favorite rebels ships in star wars
Well, they are the 4 that get the most screen time. The B wing should've got more though. It's like a Star Wars version of an A-10
Tantive IV.
I LOVED the snowspeeder. Didn’t know it’s designation T-47 until these channels, but I got one for Christmas 1980 (6yo) and I probably played with that way more than Luke’s X-Wing or Vader’s Tie Fighter.
@@RT42069I like the A-10 comparison. 👍
Mine was the U wing. Only ever seen maybe twice fa's, nimble and capable of multi role use
I love the reaction of Agent Kallus, in "Star Wars: Rebels," when Hera arrives in the prototype B-Wing "Blade" and annihilates one of the blockading imperial heavy cruisers. I had a "B-Wing" toy-vehicle when I was a kid. Loved the way it maneuvered. Very unique amongst action-play vehicles from any series, Star Wars or other.
The Y-Wing will always be my favorite Rebel startfighter. The K-Wing is another favorite of mine. I really love the Rebel heavy bombers. Just not the Resistance Bomber, that one was dumb.
And an interesting thing I never knew was the existence of the BTL-S3. But now I know that it was the bomber used in the OG Battlefront games for the Rebels as it had 2 seats in game for the pilot and gunner.
That Resistance Bomber sucked and so did those stupid things kicking up that red sand. So bad I don't even care enough to look it up lol
If you go with the WW2 inspiration for the dogfights then (British) the X-wing is the Supermarine Spitfire and the Y-wing is the Fairey Battle. The A-wing is the Gloster Meteor and the B-wing the Hawker Typhoon.
American would be North American Mustang, Martin B-10, Lockheed Lightning and Republic Thunderbolt.
@@aaronleverton4221 The Y-Wing I think would be the P-38 Lightning.
@@aaronleverton4221 I take that back for the Y-Wing the Douglas A-20 Havoc
@@insanefun1 No, there was nothing obsolete about the Boston, it was brand new at the start of the war.
Before the Resistance Heavy Bombers even engaged, I knew it was over for them.
While it looks cool onscreen, it was very slow. A Y-Wing or B-Wing squadron could’ve get the job done on taking down that Dreadnaught
@@isaackim7675 maybe. It takes a lot to take down a Dreadnaught, while the Heavy Bomber could do it in one attack, it would've take the Y-Wing a lot, and B-Wing a few runs.
but they would have survived@@dinodavid5315
The reality is that the Resistance was likely using whatever they could get, rather than the right tool for the job.
@@isaackim7675 Or the K-Wing
Red Five producers on CZcams channel missed one Star Wars fighter named "I-Wing" that is similar to "X-Wing" but without the "X-Wing" flight configuration this "I-Wing" has only a single wing between cockpit with only one yellow beamed laser cannon on each wing and has only two engines compared to "X-Wing" four engines. "I-Wing" model was a outdated recon-patrol ship without hyperdrive and was a rebel recruit practice spacecraft for rebel space flight school.
The purpose of the s foils on the x wing was to dissipate heat from the lasers. You wouldn't move the engines just to give a wider spread. It's been a while but I believe some expanded universe content like Rogue Squadron states this.
The BTL-A4 is canonically confirmed to be a stripped down heavily modified BTL-B.
What about the V-Wing? That was one of my favorites from Rogue Squadron on N64
I was hoping they would’ve gone over that one
The V-Wing is a very different ship than the airspeeder from those games. Still, I could see it returning to Canon under a different name.
I thought it was the BTL-A4 not the BTY-A4 for the Y-Wing.
My head-cannon is that the Y-wing was a response to the blockade of Naboo. Its job was to go from the surface of a planet to pointing up, go as fast as possible, attack large ships, then get back home. A planetary defense fighter/attack ship optimized for a specific kind of mission, then adapted by the rebels because it was old and so available to them at the time.
The snow speeder is just too iconic not to mention, it’s cool af with those harpoons
Yes, but not a starfighter. They were atmospheric only. Still could have been included, but just sayin' :D
One you missed? The T-Wing. If you're going by Legends, the Rebels meant to replace the A-Wing with these, but they were such krud that the Reels sold them off to whoever was happy to pay for them.
Still better fighters than the Starfortress, I hate those things.
Yes, let's see a video of all Republic star fighters and variants
Also, how about videos on capital ships please
The E-Wing began as an Imperial prototype fighter. The planet they were being built on defected and joined the the New Republic. They were rushed into production before all the bugs were worked out.
Although I was hoping that the R60 T-wing interceptor would be included in the end
Several other missing entries too, but again mostly more older stuff, Z-95's and such.
Missed some of the more less used Rebel and Republic fighters from the EU like the R41 and T-wing. Still you got the majority of them.
It would be cool if you do a Clone Wars-Era Republic Starfighters as well as other Republic-Era Starfighters in separate video essays.
As well as Mandalorian, CIS, and Sith-Imperial Starfighters (Cannon or Legends). All within your time of course.
My personal favorite is the B-Wing, because I've always favored a "one shot kill" mentality on harder targets, and they definitely do the job.
you forgot the V-wing airspeeder only seen in Star Wars: rogue squadron on the N64. Was a cool Fighter that had boosters that would blast you away from enemy encounters.
Thanks for this video. I always wondered why the snowspeeder was never seen on space. Thanks for the knowledge.
I love the look of the U-Wing and T-70 X-Wing the most, and in line with the original aim of Star Wars (Aesthetics over Practicality), are my favorites overall.
Would love to see an explanation on the Old Republic-era starfighters, from both the Republic and the Sith Empire. I've not played much of SWTOR, but I remember seeing there being like 12 different ships for each, with maybe a range of selections for loadouts, IIRC. 3 each for Fighter, Interceptor, Bomber, and Gunship roles.
One question I’ve had for awhile now. The “A-wing” we see in Rebels isn’t the same as the A-wing from return of the Jedi. Evidenced by the different looking cannons at the least. Was it meant to be the R-22 Spearhead or an earlier version of the A-wing? If so it wouldn’t be an RZ-1 so I’m wondering what its designation was?
It's an artistic interpretation. I forgot if it's supposed to be an artistic R-22 or an artistic RZ-1.
@@TheMrPeteChannel I mean, it's fiction as well and some of the variants have been depicted differently without it being a new variant, while others were depicted differently and the fans / secondary product writers and such made that different depiction into a new variant.
Like the Tector ISD was actually just a production error, but then became an official variant after massive fan-base speculation and subsequent publication of it as the Tector.
Resistance fighter, republic fighter and other rebel and resistance ship like cruisers and frigate would be cool to see in another video
Other reasons the rebels chose to remove the armor shell from the Y-Wing.
Better fuel efficiency
Better maneuverability
Better speed
The rebels are a guerilla warfare hit and run group.
They use their scouts to find a under guarded imperial facility and have to get their bombers there, hit the target and get the heck out of dodge before reinforcements show up, hopefully without encountering much heavy return fire.
The extra speed and maneuverability gained from removing the armor shell also allowed the Y-Wing to better fly in formation with the other faster rebel ships. And since the Y-Wing already sports a good shield generator the rebels found the heavy armor unnecessary for their needs.
As well as the mentioned easy access for repairs.
They sure look cool with the armor shell though!
Would love to see you do a video on the Corporate Sector Authority , that Han Solo delt with in the trilogy . Great video 👍
The Alliance had the ARC 170, V-Wings, ETA 2 interceptors, even the Bellbulab 22.
I would love to hear more about the Z-95 Headhunter since it's the defacto Father of the X-Wing ^^
THANKS SO FOR WATCHING MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU FRIENDS & FOES & FOLKS
The head hunter doesn’t get enough love
Yeah, that one’s cool.
You videos are the best thing AT 3am bro!
Would really love to see a video about Republic Era starfighters! Also kinda hard to believe that rebel pilots used the Delta 7 against the Empire 😅
They used ETA 2 interceptors as well and V-Wings. They all had on thing over TIE Fighters: deflector shields
@@paulsteinhauser434 Those make more sense than the Delta 7, IIRC that one was like "Jedi only" due to an almost total lack of many secondary systems that the Jedi just force-sensed.
As much as i love the Y-wing, i have to go with the B-wing. If i have to choose one ship i must pilot, it's the B-wing. I'm not one for speed, and the B-wing is one of the slower ships the rebels had, so it's only right that i am to fly a B-wing. I don't need much protection myself, because i'm a big guy, but a successful bombing run relies on protection from enemy fighters, by allied fighters, and i do know how to crack a serious punch, especially when it's time to deal out a hard hit.
Even if the MG-100 is a better ship for me, i would still rather fly a B-wing, because i'm not much for teamwork, so i would rather sit in a single seat B-wing than to fly and command a MG-100
I can't believe they brought the E-Wing into canon!!
The y wing is so iconic
When I was little I thought that B-wing was super slow🤣 otherwise great video and you could do Every single known Jedi temple
The A-Wing destroys all the other ships no problem and it's definitely my favorite ship hands down. In a very close second place is the B-Wing
YES. A REPUBLIC FIGHTER VIDEO IS AMAZING
I would like the video on Arc 170, snow speeder and the other lesser fighters
B-Wing has always been my favorite 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Now if only you included the M-Wing, or include it in a video on Ugly Class ships
Could you do every fleet ships the rebels and empire used?
A-wing, the latest version RZ-2. I’m guessing no hyperdrive? Does it have shields?
The X-wing Advanced Heavy is prolly my second favorite. I wonder if there’s a version with a somewhat shorter nose? I could never sit right feeling the nose was too long and skinny to be visually balanced. Maybe the T-65C-A2 fits if the cutaway was accurate. I wouldn’t be hurt if I was assigned the T-85, either.
Can you try to do all type of Imperial warship or rebel alliance?
I would be interested in a republic era fighter video actuallyz
everytime i watch one of these i think do i need to take notes, will there be a test on this later?
In my game i pilot the ARC-170.
I like it's weapons!
The one thing i was looking forward to with the movie prequels, was seeing the Y wing when it was the new hot fighter bomber. I think it was a missed opportunity.
amazing starfighter
No T-Wing and V-Wing from Legend ?
I grwe up with the X-Wing as much as anybody. But realistically, the BTL-S3 Courier is the sort of thing I'd want for a personal ship, even as a civilian, especially if I could give it some plating.
S foils also serve to dissipate excess heat generated by the weapons.
This is how Star Wars fans learned the alphabet
Y-wing is my favorite
Another reason the a-wing was so sleek and fast was it had very little shields if and. It made up for it by being the only star fighter to have duel ion cannons and its speed and mobility
Uh? I thought it was the Y-wing that had ion cannons?
It’s a shame though since you mentioned the Snow Speeder you didn’t mention the V-Wing like the Snow Speeder it was a atmospheric fighter but despite that it was a fast and powerful fighter it lacked shields but it made up for it in speed and maneuverability.
Do the Rebulic era starfighters. This one is interesting.
Republic starfighter type/variant video later? Fuck yeah!
My favorite is the Correliean YT-2400
You forgot about the R-22 Spearhead which is the earlier version of the A-Wing.
"Do you want to know what Republic-Era ships the Rebellion used against th-" Yes! Are you kidding me?! I'll take the dumbest question I've ever heard for $200, Alex!
But in all seriousness, yes, I would love that. You have such a knack for whittling down the complexities of Star Wars lore and I would love to see that.
The RZ-1T is NOT a variant of the RZ-1. The A-Wings in Star Wars: Rebels are R-22 Spearheads, and so the "RZ-1T" is in fact a two-seater variant of the R-22.
🤔 . . . How about an Ugly Starfighter contest? Whoever makes Vader Vomit & Palpatine Puke is the winner!
Mine?: YT series cockpit, preferably the YT-1300, with three (3) to four (4) B-Wing fuselages (i.e. the main wing) with their respective winglets, engines, & everything else. Also, as part of its arsenal, twelve (12) or sixteen (16) TIE boarding pods (they’re like TIE Bomber pods, but it has a tip similar to Clone Wars era CIS boarding pods) loaded with Battledroids & Sabotagedroids to ensure the organic boarding crew can easily get on & such…
TIE defender laser turrets (those 3 things sticking out) attached to a separatist tri fighter
my favorite is the t65 skyhopper lol
Never forget that although it crashed that one A-Wing one shot a star destroyer
My favourite starfighter and all of sci-fi history is the XWing
X-wing and B-wing are my favorites!!!
My fav is Luke's red x wing. They call me (Red 8 standing by)
Yes, I want you to do a video on the Republic starfighter variance😊❤
Yes we want it
Do a video on rebel vehicles
Im surprised it took this long to make a video related to the channel name
As far as A-wings go you forgot the R-22 Spearhead and the RZ-1 A-wing Mark 2.
I've got so sick after I saw what Rebels did with the B-Wing lore ...
u wing and y wing they are awesome
i love watching this channel and eating pizza 😌
My favorite is the U wing
Small correction. You called the rebel Y-wing a BTY-A4, but it is actually a BTL-A4. I assume a typo in your script.
not so fun fact: the t-85 x-wing's wings aren't actually configured in an X like shape, they're like two separate V's.
My favorite is a powerful rebel ship The Q wing
B-Wing, my beloved
Great video but you did make a mistake. The X-Wing S-Foils split as a cooling solution for the powerful rapid firing cannons. (I have read over 150 Star Wars Novels, and run SWRPG)
Which doesn’t make a lot of sense in space, as there’s no air to absorb the heat, but Star Wars didn’t exactly do much homework on the science.
@@Justanotherconsumer Or sound LOL but Star Wars is Star Wars.
The B-Wing has been my favorite ship in Star Wars since I was a kid. I think the game Rogue Squadron made me fall in love with the B-Wing.
Every letter of the Rebel alphabet is my favorite 😊❤️.
the longprobe looks like it belongs to a (different) franchise
My favorite star fighter is x wing, u wing and, b wing also there variants as well😎😎😎😎😎
Why are the wings on the X-wings called S foils? That always confused me
K-wing was a nice ship, I hope it will be put in Cannon. Also what do you think about the Tri-Wing
Bombers keep that tight formation
Nice
My favorite one is the A-wing
AZ-1
you forgot the jedi stealth X
I hate to be that "Um, Actually" guy, but the Rebellion Y-Wing was dubbed the BTL-A4, not the BTY
Red 5 I have PIA VPN right now!
You forgot the New Jedi Order Stealth X
I've been a Y-wing guy my whole life.... no better ship.
My fav is Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter!
Just gonna ignore the v wing ROGUE SQUADRON WILL REMEMBER THIS
