Well, by all means, go ahead and try finishing WC3 without using your cloak.

And IIRC, the prototype also had a centreline (heavy) hard point that could gobble up something special like an anti-ship torpedo, a T-Bomb and what have you.

Fighter: Sabre
Bomber: Crossbow
I know, I liked WC 2 too much
Mjr. Whoopass said:I love all the Luke Skywalker/Chris Blair similarities throughout Wing Commander. I just saw one that I had never heard about while I was watching the Academy Cartoon. When Blair's life support is going out in his fighter and he's about to pass out, his father appears in a vision and convinces him to wake up and shoot the incoming enemy fighter... I about fell out of my chair... nice Star Wars reference (even if it was unintentional).
The best fighter : Centurion from Privateer, with It's quad fussion cannons,two more on the rear turret, twenty FoF missiles, excellent speed and turn rate, infinite afterburners, jump capability and all the upgrades avaible in Righteous Fire. What could possibly beat that ?
Let's take the Standoff example: Tracking of fighters lost and returned. Say you lose half of your airwing. If all your Stilletos return but you lose all of your Gladii, you can't kill a capship at all. Yet if you lose half an airwing of Dragons, you can still do both jobs at once effectively.
Bombers: Broadsword (with automatic Turrets) cause nothing makes me smile like melting the guy on my tail. It was the B52 of space.
If it was, it wouldn't be phased out in favor of the Piranha.
I assumed that it had been phased out because it was being flown by pirates, meaning the market could have been flooded with Arrows. Also, it seemed that by Wing Commander IV, the Hellcat had taken its place.How do you know it (the Arrow) was phased out?

The Arrow may have been phased out of front line Confed service (according to the Piranha entry in the WCP official guide), but that doesn't mean it was phased out everywhere, even if you don't look towards the Landreich (which gets a lot of Confed's hand-me-downs).
In the "bad" ending of WC4, you can see some arrows in the confed fleet under marshall tolwyn. This means that they served at least until then.
Fighter: Sabre or Raptor. Would have been fonder of the Rapier had I been able to remove the dumbfires.
Bomber: Broadsword. Slow, ungainly, but unquestionably lethal.
