Description
The space map for Mustafar, which will appear in RotM is depicted in the background.
Ah yes, the basis for every heavy fighter proponent's argument that heavy fighters wouldn't suck at dogfighting. Blame SWBF2 for this thing being given baseless, sourceless, and ludicrous identical stats to the X-wing on wookiepedia.
That said, an attractive spaceship and an excellent model. Kind of makes me want to commission you myself tbh.
Yeah I mean its space opera so a certain suspension of disbelief is required I suppose... I'm sure the ARC 170 was chosen in BF2 purely because it was in the films (player recognition), whereas the Z-95 or V-19 were not. Although each of those is more of a true "fighter" than the ARC-170. If an X-wing can be compared to say, an F-16 than the ARC-170 would be equivalent to the A-10. Given the turrets though, I think a better comparison would be a P-40 vs an A-20 or Beaufighter.
If you are serious about a commission, feel free to PM here or on Discord the_Farseer#4806
I think the best analogy for the ARC-170 in regards to WW2 planes would have to be the P-61 Black Widow. They even look super similar in cockpit layout!
Beautiful! Your work never disappoints!
Thanks!
