Star Wars Squadron Update 4.0 has been deployed.
December update Star Wars Squadron It’s real-time, it contains not only bug fixes, but also two new Starfighters.
These starfighters feature the New Republic and Galactic Empire. The New Republic gets a B-wing starfighter, and the Galactic Empire gets a TIE/d “defender” multirole starfighter.
The B Wing is classified as a bomber-class starfighter, while the TIE guard is a fighter.
With the update, custom matches are also provided, which will allow 1-5 players on each side of the two teams to compete on any map in Dogfight and Fleet Battles.

Starfighter and components
- Added B-wing to the fleet of the New Republic
- Heavy gunship game style, rear fighter
- Low mobility, relying on assist/drift to move and steer effectively
- High durability and main damage output, explosive battleship damage and built-in ion cannon
- Rely on supporters/allies to reach the main ship and survive while causing damage
- Best for staying behind fighter/interceptor and sinking fire on enemy ships
- Unique components: Ion beam
- Causes huge ion damage to the main ship shields and subsystems
- Unique components: Gyroscope/auxiliary control module
- When you press and hold the auxiliary button, you can roll the gyro cockpit and rotate the entire ship around the cockpit. The wing angle determines the bomb release angle. When the top is rolling, the evasion of the missile is also increased.
- Also increased the number of ammunition using the auxiliary ammunition; otherwise, increase the auxiliary cooling rate.
- Added TIE Defenders to the Imperial Navy
- Adaptable anti-interplanetary fighter expert, front and center fighter

- Requires frequent, skilled power management and the use of boost/buck to achieve the desired performance; improper power management may be harmful
- Unique components: Advanced power system
- Provide the system with instant massive overcharge with maximum power. If no system has the maximum power, the overcharge capability of all systems will be weakened.
