Which matters little. The weapons package, which would include improved targeting, firepower, etc. could have been upgraded and still the quad cannons wouldn't have to be traded out.
So you are saying that normal sensors are unable to make use of full cannon capabilities? Why would Han allow for that serious disadvantage?
And, if Grand Admiral Thrawn is right, during ANH Han has the best sensor available.
But that's neither here nor there, since we don't know if Solo was going to fire on the TIE approaching the Death Star with the quads, or the swivel blaster.
We don't know if swivel blaster was installed at that time. Even if it did... it doesn't make sense for Han to try to fire on the T/F with the swivel blaster.
If I'm not mistaken, such weapon would be innefective against such large, armored target. (compared to snowtroppers with cannon

)
This is a common mistake. Those TIEs didn't "catch up" to the Falcon; the Falcon flew into THEM.
Oh. My mistake. But still, those T/Fs were able to attack with no difficulty from all angles.
No, he wasn't. He was in the cockpit. Take a good look at the background behind Han.
Oh, my mistake again

Of course' it could've been Chewbacca that was in turret
And regarding your previous post - if Falcon was far from DS, can you explain Vader's wingman actions? He acted like he was about to be rammed by
Falcon.

Whoa... Why do you think that I'm not accepting EU evidence? I said, I want to focus on classic era, not that I can't accept future upgrade of the
Falcon.
What sort of "conflicting data?" You're being incredibly vague.
I'm sorry.
But many examples were mentioned in this thread (You gave one, too).
You do realize that many factors can affect weapons ranges, do you not?
Yes I do.
In both examples
Falcon was operating in close vicinity of the
Death Star, it was flying with high velocity, weapon was fired (or about to be fired) from cockpit, it was firing (or about to fire) at identical target, target was flying without sudden maneuvers, but it was flying under different angle.
So, you are saying that sharp angles actually allow
Falcon to fire from greater range?
