TIE Fighter

General Information
The TIE/LN Fighter Squadron is most used by the Galactic Empire in Space and Land combat. It's mostly fitted for Dogfights against enemy starfighters. Due to it's low health and non-existent shields it's exceptionally bad in 1v1 fights against most starfighters and therefore should be used in large groups. While it cannot stand it's ground against the direct answer of the Rebellion, the T65-X-Wing Squadron, it's much cheaper, which results in a very low death penalty. The TIE Fighter Squadron is not buildable for any faction.



[Against Starfighters]
To be most effective, the TIE Fighter Squadron should be used in Dogfights against weaker enemy starfighter squadrons, like the Z-95 Headhunter, which makes it an excellent starting unit in Skirmish battles. With it's speed and agility it outperforms even the rebellion counter unit, the T-65 X-Wing but due to it's Light Armor and the lack of shields, it will mostly lose a direct confrontation against higher tier starfighters. Since TIE Fighters are very cheap, it's the best strategy to overwhelm the enemy with numbers until you have better starfighters at hand.

[Against Smaller Ships]
The TIE Squadron is not very durable and has to rely on its 2 Light Laser Cannons, which makes it completely uneffective against enemy corvettes or frigates, like the rebellion's CR-90-class or the Underworld's Interceptor-4-class.
