- Heavy Firepower: These modified TIE Sentinel boasts formidable firepower with its two Dual Heavy Turbolaser Cannon Turrets, capable of dealing significant damage to capital ships and ground targets alike.
- Slow Rate of Fire: Despite its powerful weaponry, the TIE Sentinel's Dual Heavy Turbolaser Cannon Turrets have a slow rate of fire, making it less effective against fast-moving targets such as agile starfighters or evasive ground units.
- Limited Armament Coverage: The TIE Sentinel's reliance solely on its two Dual Heavy Turbolaser Cannon Turrets for offensive capabilities severely limits its ability to engage threats attacking from certain angles. The positioning of its solar panels obstructs firing lines to the sides, leaving the ship vulnerable to attacks from those directions. Moreover, with only two turrets, the TIE Sentinel struggles to effectively engage multiple starfighters simultaneously, reducing its overall combat versatility and defensive capabilities.
The modified TIE Sentinel presents a formidable sight on the battlefield, its irregular folded wings and sleek, menacing profile marking it as a force to be reckoned with. Stripped down and upgraded for ground support operations, this variant combines elements of the TIE Advanced x1 starfighter with the sturdy frame of the TIE Sentinel.
At its core, the vessel retains the distinctive TIE design, with angular panels and a compact cockpit housing the skilled pilot. The traditional hexagonal solar panels provide the necessary power to drive its systems, albeit with modifications to accommodate the heavier weaponry.
Positioned atop and beneath the cockpit are the ship's primary armaments: two Dual Heavy Turbolaser Cannon Turrets. These capital ship-grade turrets pack a devastating punch, capable of tearing through enemy ground units with ease. However, the Sentinel's defensive capabilities are limited by its reliance on these turrets, leaving it vulnerable to attacks from the sides and restricting its ability to engage agile starfighters effectively.
Despite its shortcomings, the modified TIE Sentinel stands as a formidable asset on the battlefield, ready to rain destruction upon enemy ground forces with its powerful turbolasers.
