The TIE Advanced lives up to its name, boasting superior speed, burst damage, and deflector shields. Z-95s would have been no challenge at all, so I upgraded the enemies to X-Wings (Still not that much of a challenge, however).
TIE Advanced craft are very good for dogfighting, but even better for disruption. They can move around the battlefield quickly, they can take some hits, and they can dish out pain. Their only drawback is only 2 lasers that can sap weapon capacitors' reserves quickly, so every shot counts. I recommend fire-linked cannons, because single-fire tends to cause you to run out of laser energy a lot.
