The Rebel's math was wrong. Surely the cost of a single pilot fighter, even the most expensive one, that can one shot cruisers is insignificant compared to the cost of a fleet of fighters that struggle to do the same. Quick victories mean less fuel, less repairs and parts, less replacements costs and less pilots lost. Star wars writers never get it right.
@@MrBottlecapBill the laser beam can't 1 shot all cruisers... It targeted a light cruiser... And it never even instantly destroyed it... Based on this logic, a star destroyer with heavier shields and a bigger superstructure would only at best lose its shield and sustain little damage...

@@generalwilhelm6508 well yes I though the empire did suck in rebels.... Its not entirely bad... The clone wars has the same level of plot armor... Except because of its sheer size it can kill people without contributing to the plot.
Tbh it wouldn’t work well. It’s compound laser would make it incredibly broken. It’s also large and heavy shielded with strong weapons. Everyone would main it. What would be it’s counter? The easy guess would be the TIE defender but the defender’s actually extremely better and even Vader said it rivals his Advanced x1. It has extreme shields, speed, and weapons. They would also be the primary main.
@@L-Archange The game has 4 classes; fighter, bomber, support, and interceptor. I thinking they could add a new class; heavy, focused on massive damage, similar to the bomber class but more versatile in flight and they could make weaker in the shield and/or armor areas for the game.
@@christian5146 I searched it up and can't find it. From your description it sounds similar to the TIE brute. It's in Star Wars commander and a deleted scene in Solo.
Fun fact! Looks like Skeleton Crew brought back Quarrie's original composite laser model for the finale of Season 1. Absolutely tore that ship up, goddamn
I ABSOLUTELY liked and enjoyed watching this vid about the B-Wing Prototype. Another one of my MOST favorites that I've seen SO FAR. I wonder what happened to it after.
The Rebels should really have kept the main beam weapon on a few ships. Like a very powerful elite squadron used only for very important missions that requires massive firepower in a short amount of time.
They should, but I can't imagine it was a rare use of the technology because of the amounts of energy drain it caused, not to mention its probably hard to make
well some models have laser cannon sync features, where all the cannons fire at the same time, but this isn't as powerful as superlaser focusing tech on the b-wing and maybe even on the death star.
5:02 Actually, there is a fifth. In revenge of the sith, the Venator cruiser fires one massive laser that blasts a banking clan frigate in the same exact manner as this B Wing prototype blasted the imperial corvette. The converging stream is really difficult to notice because it's almost entirely hidden inside the ship, but the apex of the converging cone can be seen if you look closely.
@@matthewturner5178 I think the beam was too big for a SPHA, unless there is a XXL sized variant I am not aware of, and the angle would require the thing to be hanging upside down from the ceiling of the hangar.
I think it's rather interesting that the composite beam laser was dropped from the full production model. My guess was that it was seen as overkill or far too destructive, especially if they couldn't work out the power source's kinks with the whole "hyperdrive shutting down" thing.
A super-powerful weapon that has major reliability issues isn’t terribly useful. I’m minded of the combat debut of the Panther tank at Kursk, where most of the tanks became mechanical casualties before getting to fire a single shot.
Should have built a few with the Composite laser because you will always wants a big stick for some missions. five or six at the Battle of Endor would have really made the fight so much easier.
Personally I know there has been Chiss versions of Imperial ships but I'd love to see a Chiss take on Rebel designs as they tended to always improve on the designs and this was one of my favorite ships.
@@evanhenderson1760 I'd argue the tie defender is pretty equal to the b-wing, it has a hyperdrive and shields like the b-wing and about an equal amount of armaments
@@nikoloso the tie defender was a multi-role starfighter that was faster, more agile, better armed, and generally better in every way than the x-wing. on the other hand the b-wing was a heavy bomber better armed than the y-wing but had the speed and maneuverability of a drunk freighter
@@evanhenderson1760 it could probably still be balanced to each other in the same way the unshielded imperial fighters are balanced to shielded rebel fighters

This was probably one of the best episodes of Rebels that didn't focus on Jedi/Force stuff. I'm a huge fan of the space combat content in SW so seeing the origins of the B-Wing scratched that itch.
@Dread StarZ there wasn't enough TROS B-Wing content for me to remember that they were in the movie until you just reminded me. To answer your question though, yes. It sounds pretty killer. I had to look the details up since we get nothing on it aside from a few seconds in the movie.
@Dread StarZ It sounds great, don't get me wrong. I have no problems with the B-Wing in any form, in fact it was one of my favorite toys of SW growing up in the 80s and 90s regarding SW and I still love it to this day. But honestly, what is your point here? The new B-Wing did nothing other than appear for like 20 seconds in TRoS in the background of a few shots.
Wait. Imagine if the New Republic had a B-Wing Mk-III that had both the features of the production model B-Wing and the prototype. That thing would be a shipkiller.
Make sense when you think about why did not keep the prototype as it was, the rebels did not really have the recourse to make ship buster weapons. So numbers were and mass amount of ships were the only way to do it
I love the B-Wing. It’s a Bad ass fighter, but with some drawbacks. And they aren’t battlefield related, they’re logistics related. It makes me think of the American F-22 Raptor or the German Tiger tank. Both phenomenal machines. But they require(d) so much upkeep they weren’t very practical, at least not for mass production.
What gets me the A wing needed to dock with the Blockade Runner to escape as it jumped to hyperspace. Why can’t a starfighter just “land” on the hull of a larger vessel and piggy back a jump to hyperspace?
I think I have an answer... Shields. If a starfighter has no shields, it may not survive hyperspace. It would possibly be protruding outside the larger vessel’s shields leaving it exposed to ion particles and other random elements at far above light speed.
Because they need to be secured, just riding on the side is a very high risk of just being flung off and at best being dropped in the middle of nowhere, and worst being torn to shedders in the transition to real space . Plus at this point in the show the biggest things Pheonix cell had was there CR90’s.

While The Freemaker Adventures is not considered canon, the creators Motz and Roth and director Hegner still consulted the Lucasfilm Story Group members Leland Chee and Carrie Beck to ensure that the show did not contradict the official Canon storyline." oh...
I've always liked combining the two: This was the first successful prototype for the B-Wing, but the final design was built to the specifications and modifications put forth by Admiral Ackbar, because while a bomber with a superlaser is neat, other technical vulnerabilities and energy stability problems demanded that the mass-produced B-Wing have more conventional weaponry and payloads.
No not the imperial cruiser that she takes down at the end of the episode... I’m talking the first crashes ship she blows up during her test flight. Also yes I saw the “Really? Laat?...” of your original comment but it’s all good bro
The death star went wrong because Gallen Erso created a flaw in it... Also the B wing is not oversized or a superweapon... Yes it's laser packs a punch... But that laser would only be able to damage a star destroyer still leaving it operational
Yeah definitely should have kept the big gun. Imagine if those Star Fortress bombers from last Jedi had those beam cannons. The dreadnought would have been history and Rose would still have a sister.
Just imagine if this had come out just a little bit earlier they would have been able to iron out to the problems with the weapon system and the hyperdrive and it would have been map produced as a bit was almost completely unchanged now that that would have been impressive to see swarms of those popping out of hyperspace and then laying waste to small and medium-sized ships
I remeber seeing the Bwing for the firat time in a game on the origional playstaion and you flew it for the intro mission cant rember the name but since then loved the ship
While I can see why they switched to more conventional weapons for the production model, I'm sure it would have been useful to have a squadron or two of these floating around for hard targets.
@Dread StarZ in addition to this, Y wings were designed during the Clone Wars in order to be a light bomber and able to fight other fighters, while the B wing is designed in the GCW and is meant to be used as a heavy fighter bomber. for example, in the Background of the battle of endor, we see the Devastator (Vader's original star destroyer) being blown up by what is shown in other media to be only a squadron of B wings. they are still very deadly

@Dread StarZ in addition to this, Y wings were designed during the Clone Wars in order to be a light bomber and able to fight other fighters, while the B wing is designed in the GCW and is meant to be used as a heavy fighter bomber. for example, in the Background of the battle of endor, we see the Devastator (Vader's original star destroyer) being blown up by what is shown in other media to be only a squadron of B wings. they are still very deadly
The b wing carry's a smaller payload into battle than the y wing bomber
