The A-wing has several tools for pinning down starfighters both armoured and unarmoured. Against more heavily armoured targets, the A-wing can use cluster missiles and rockets to hit a single target multiple times, and no other Republic fighter has the DPS of the A-wing. Its default missiles have excellent tracking but light damage, excellent at pinning down TIE interceptors.

Against capital ships, the A-wing is out of its element, but can still assist the team. A-wings can do little against shielding, so they must instead use their manoeuvrability to skip past the shields and go for the hull of of the Arquitens and the Raider, or against the Star Destroyer's subsystems and gun turrets.  
Much like the defence of a football or soccer game, the interceptor's role is twofold: to stop the enemy from scoring hits against enemy capital ships, and prevent the enemy from moving the morale meter in their favour. While out of their element, they can still cause heavy damage to enemy capital ships, especially with Barrage Rockets.
