Go figure, the Imperial Player isn't happy!
*SPOILERS* Rogue One ships
Why do people think it will have 3 attack dice? Look at the ship. It's only got the main Tie Fighter guns on it that the base Tie does.
Look again.
OK...I am looking. It looks like just the 2 main guns.
If you look at that tube on the wing, it says "AVIATION REGULATOR". So....not a gun.
So the U-Wing carries some troops? Is this the beginning of the ground based expansions? Will we also get AT-ATs and Snowspeeders? Only the time will tell...
ner, it carries sabine
sabine replaces the troops with actually useful things (bombs)
I know right...

Also one of the weapons is labeled an offensive laser barrel. Maybe they should clean it more often. Or teach it manners.
Edited by GrimmyVThat U-Wing thing reminds me of the I-7 Howlrunner.
No, there are no guns on the wings. But there is what looks like two guns mounted under the standard 'chin' guns.Look again.Why do people think it will have 3 attack dice? Look at the ship. It's only got the main Tie Fighter guns on it that the base Tie does.

You're right, those "offensive laser barrels" are in about the same location as the turret on the First Order's TIE/sf. Though given the wing layout, these would actually be functional as a turret if they turn out not to be fixed forward-firing guns, rather than only being able to fire fore and aft.

also, and funny thing at that, the striker could rotate those guns without blowing its own wings off
so...more likely this'll have a turret (PWT or upgrade) than the Tie/sf
Has anybody translated the Aurebesh on that image? The Central Viewport text is Main Viewport but I'm not fluent enough to read the rest

Looks like this to me:
1 Central Viewport: MAIN VIEWPORT
2 Offensive Laser Barrel: LASER TIP
3 Solar Energy Collector: HIGH YEILD (sic) SOLAR
4 Heat Exchange Matrix: SOLAR FRAME WITH HEAT
5 Solar Energy Support: HIGH YEILD (sic) SOLAR FRAME
6 Aviation Regulator: FLIGHT PLAN

No it isn't.
So a 0 shield 2 hull turret ship for the imperials that has 2 primary attack dice?
Gonna have to start using Ten Numb more often...
