It's gone from a disposable "fighter" to a warship
Not with those massive blindspots. Star wars dogfights rely heavily on line of sight rather than sensors
The funniest thing is every scene with TIE fighters flying in an atmosphere. Can you imagine trying to fly in a tiny bit of crosswind with those massive sails?
They're stylish and iconic, and they look cool when they explode on screen, but they're not even the tiniest bit practical.
That's why I enjoyed in Rogue One they had TIEs with delta wings in atmosphere. Basically the only time they've actually given consideration to that in the movies lol
