Star Wars: Squadrons/Y-wing

Bombers are flexible craft with extremely powerful guns. What they lack in mobility, they make up for in firepower, against both fighters and capital ships. Being equipped with both bombs and torpedoes for capital ships is half of their battle - they also feature the powerful rotary cannon, the most health out of all the ships, and multi-target missiles for dealing with groups of enemies.

In Fleet Battles, Y-wings are often seen as inferior to the TIE Bomber, as Y-wings lack the power conversion ability of TIEs. This makes redirecting shields very important when performing bombing runs, and raises the skill floor of the craft. When attacking Star Destroyers, avoid flying over the full length of the ship, as this exposes yourself to nearly all of its defensive turrets; instead, approach it from above, below, or from the sides.

Y-wings receive the Automated Ion Cannon, Multi-Missile, and Proton Bomb auxiliaries as standard.
