Battlefront 2: Air Units and Heroes guide Battlefront 2 guide, tips

This chapter contains the list of all available air units that are utilized in Galactic Assault and Starfighter Assault matches (the choice of the vehicles depends on the current map and the chosen faction). Hero air units are available only during Starfighter Assault. You can view a list of the available abilities for air units below.

Ability 1:

1. Afterburner - Your ship flies faster than its maximal speed for a few seconds. Use to fly up to opponents or to avoid enemy attacks (removes enemy missile locks and makes it difficult for them to hit you - the enemy's aim assist is turned off). Press the button again to turn the ability off.
2. Astromech Repair - Activate to repair your vehicle.
3. Electronic Countermeasures - Bombers can interrupt and disable enemy missile locks.

Ability 2:

1. Laser Barrage - Activate to release a laser barrage. Mainly useful against head-on targets.
2. Turret Gunner - Activates a turret that targets opponents behind your unit.
3. Weapon Overcharge - Activate to increase the damage dealt for a short period of time.
4. Quad Laser Cannon - Fire from four cannons at once and deal more damage.
5. Hard Lock - Your target is visible on your radar and is marked by a white square. Torpedoes and rocket need less time to reach your target.
6. Heavy Laser - A powerful cannon, slower than standard fire but dealing major damage (Tri-Fighter only)
7. Ion Cannon Turret - Fire ion projectiles that lower the opponent' flight speed and deal minor damage, making the target an easy prey for allied units.
8. Multi-Missile Lock - Some bombers can aim up to three targets at once and send rockets in their direction.

Ability 3:

1. Proton Torpedo - Lock on target and release a torpedo that deals major damage but its guidance is weak - better against slow bombers than agile fighters.
2. Proton Torpedoes - Bombers can fire two torpedoes instead of one.
3. Energy Torpedo - The same as Proton Torpedo
4. Heat Sink - Mainly seen in interceptor units. Fire your without overheating.
5. Concussion Missile - Works similar as torpedo, but more accurate and weaker. Disables fighters and facilitates their elimination by interception units.

Fighter

Fighters are often a compromise - they can engage mission targets and defeat opponents
