Running X-Wings as bombers netted me quite surprising results in this mod.

In EAW Remake, the X-Wing is depicted as a multirole fighter. Besides dogfighting, it also can attack ships and stations hardpoints with it's two proton torpedoes. I thought to myself: "What if I used them as bombers instead of the Y-Wings?"

The results I had were quite impressive. The X-Wing obviously lacks the punch a dedicated bomber has, but it is much more agile and can deal with basic threats like the TIE Fighter or the Rihkxyrk fighter of the Criminal Underworld on it's own. The S-Foils ability also helps with making a quick getaway if things get too hot.

It will get mauled by heavier, dedicated interceptors and fighters like the TIE Avenger/Defender and fighters with more agility like the Belbullab-22 or even the Naboo N-1, but nothing a interceptor escort of A-Wings can handle.
