Skirmish: TIE RGI vs. 3x ARC-170s (Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance)

2017-06-30 8

The ARC-170 is from the Ultimate Craft Pack mod, and apparently you can't toggle off missiles and/or ion cannons, making this one challenging dogfight (especially when combined with the ARC-170's durability. However, this match did provide an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that if an enemy gets missile lock tone on you from range, it's the one instance where it's actually a good idea to approach head-on so you can shoot the missile; sometimes there's simply no time to find the "I" button on the keyboard to target incoming missiles. At one point, I was disabled by either a missile or ion cannons, and frankly it's a miracle I wasn't destroyed.
