I didn't really like the X-Wings progression that you had to complete missions to move on. Sometimes you just got caught on some outright brutal missions and were never going to be able to progress.

With Tie Fighter you could fail missions and move on except for final theatre missions.

There was just something about flying a tie fighter with no shields and two weak laser cannons. But until later in the game there was nothing as fast or could change direction as quickly as the tie fighter.

I got caught in a long dog fight with an X-Wing and I got on his back side and was plinking away, and then he suddenly banked left for a quick turn and I banked left and got inside of him, and then turned into him and turned the rebel scum into dust.
