I believe Red Two was Biggs Darklighter, Luke's ill fated friend who was shot down by Darth Vader. Either him or Wedge. Can't really remember right now.
In both X-wing and X-wing Alliance, I've taking out Tie Interceptors with the B-wing (some of the most difficult of Ties to target in a dogfight).
And the Missile Boat does make since. It was the Empire's answer to rogue Tie Defenders. Unfortunately, both Missile Boats and Tie Defenders were good at taking each other out.
Who couldn't rape with the Missile Boat? TIE Defenders were ... I hate to use the word, but they were gay. Just plain lame. "Oooooh, lookit'me, I'm PRACTICALLY INVINCIBLE!" Lame.
I would switch to ion cannons in a B-wing and just disable any fighters I was having trouble with. Kill'em later.
In a TIE fighter? I believe you underestimate us, as well as overestimating the fact your snubfighter totally sucks cock. You'll get aced on the first pass.
