Corsair vs TIE Avenger

Post by HemlockGrey »

Since the Dominion vs the Protoss was a bit one sided(cough), this matchup should be slightly more fair.

A dark templar Corsair antiair fighter vs a TIE Avenger(Advanced). Which one comes out on top?

Hmm... a better matchup would be Scout vs. Avenger, in my opinion. The Corsair's weaponry was designed to affect large groups of targets at once, not necessarily a single target.

Aside from that... I haven't the foggiest idea what sort of range or weapons/shield strengths the Corsair has. Anybody ever do any calcs?

Most likely the Avenger because of its missiles. We really dont know enough about power levels to make a call though. Its hard enough with the capital units.

I too feel the scout is closer to the avenger, they are both large heavy muti-role superority fighters, the Corasirs are more of light fighter for attacking light targets.

Corsairs ( in the game at least) have weak weaponry that is suited towards the role of a light interceptor and support craft.
It's disruption web is useless against air targets, so the Avenger easily comes out on top.

Avengers, due too lack of stats & and it's sstrength and versatility. Corsairs are a light fighter and probably couldn't hande tose TIE Missles, but we don't have stats.

To my knowledge, the only things we know about the Corsair performance wise is from the game. Game mechanics are utterly useless for this sort of vs debate. Even if we do use them, the Corsair is seriousily underpowered compared to Scouts, Wraiths, Valkryes, etc. I must put my vote for TIE Advanced.

TIE Avenger has four guns and lots of missiles.
Corsair has Neutron Flare gun whihc can barely kill Scourges.

I'm with the Avenger.
