How do you kill ground troops with a starfighter?
I enjoy flying starfighters like the X-Wing and TIE fighters in ship-to-ship combat, but have a hard time hitting anything on the ground without crashing. This is because the ship only shoots in the direction it's flying, and down is a bad direction to be flying.
I know this can be done consistently, as I've been in games that were completely dominated by fighters shooting everything that moves.
How is this done? Is there some special trick or strategy that makes it easier?
Best Answer
- Slow your ship to its' slowest speed
- Don't dive bomb straight into the ground, make a gradual descent
- From the air, individual players are hard to see. Their laser shots, however, are not. Look for where crossfire is happening and aim where you think the opposing team is shooting from
- Many maps have corridors or very well-traveled areas where a ship can often just shoot at from a distance and do damage (especially on Sullust)

I think you just need to practice a lot, play a lot of fighter squadron, and then get all the ships you can in supremacy.
