Squadron-Nerd Rant about the Delta-7

By Cruzer, in Star Wars: Armada

So... why why WHY didn't they just go with the Delta-7B for the squadron card?
Why am I frustrated with this? Because the squadron mini IS the 7B. Look at where the astromech is:

Aside from Obi-wan, there's literally no history of the plain old Delta-7 being used in the Clone Wars. Every one of the Jedi Aces in the GAR Squad Pack is shown at one point or another piloting the 7B in the series too. I know it's just a small thing, but it irks me all the same.

Seriously FFG, just switch the pic and add ONE letter! :P

Armada isn't too concerned with such minute details.

The X-wings are... X-wings, not T-65 X-wings like they are in X-wing 2.0.

So from a certain point of view, Delta-7 is correct.

You may stop ranting.

One of the best pilots in the Jedi Order might disagree with you there.

But I agree with your overall point, the Delta-7B was much more common and would have been a better choice.

Hobby knife time?

Not even necessary. As mentioned: the minis are already correct. It's just the cards that look weird XD
