I think the only scene when an SD was firing it's HTLs or MTLs was
during the chase of the Tantive IV. The corvette took one direct hit and it bashed through her shield and detonated a generator by distroying the solar panel. Or something like this. So it was a powerful blast or there was the weak spot of the corvette's shield.
But Vader wanted to capture the ship rather than destroying it. So they fired single shots.
When the Millenium Falcon turned against the Avenger I'm quite sure the impys used these point defense cannons instead of HTLs with slow turret turning rate.
Before that event the Falcon got a direct hit from the Avenger and it wasn't a HTL hit either. It took out completely the rear shields but did minor damage in the ship.
Or maybe it was a low charged HTL hit?
But then again the objective was to capture the ship not to destroy.
We haven't seen any capital ship battle in the OT which was out of point-blank range.
Correct me if you think it's false.
So when did we see SDs firing HTLs?
