Just looks like someone’s art that another person slapped a Star Wars empire logo on. It has none of the franchise’s design language.
It's gone from a disposable "fighter" to a warship
Not with those massive blindspots. Star wars dogfights rely heavily on line of sight rather than sensors
True, but it looks like the cockpit is far enough forward to limit the blinds from the wings, and TIEs don't have rear windows/view like an X-wing. At least not until the First Order ones with a rear gunner
The funniest thing is every scene with TIE fighters flying in an atmosphere. Can you imagine trying to fly in a tiny bit of crosswind with those massive sails?
They're stylish and iconic, and they look cool when they explode on screen, but they're not even the tiniest bit practical.
I appreciated the X-Wing book series for acknowledging that, and making them less maneuverable in atmo than X-Wings.
That's why I enjoyed in Rogue One they had TIEs with delta wings in atmosphere. Basically the only time they've actually given consideration to that in the movies lol
Someone deep in the empire embellished millions of credits approving that design.
