Here are the stats for the A-wing "Type 6" Starfighter, updated and
corrected (there was a typo on the Laser Cannon's damage). I've
considered the suggestions made by Armage Bedar (armagebedar@juno.com)
and Paul J. Iutzi (pjiutzi@RS6000.CMP.ILSTU.EDU); thanks to them.

Sergio.

Capsule: This modified A-wing was built in order to supply the lack of
fire
  power of the typical A-wing Starfighter when there was time for
attacking
  an Imperial convoy or base. One ArmMek SW-6f medium ion cannon was
  added to the starfighter in order to disabled enemy starfighters more
  easily -with the help of the Enemy Targeting Jammer-; that ion cannon
was
  put in the port side of the A-wing, being removed one laser cannon.
Also,
  two Dymex HM-6 concussion missile launchers were installed close to
the
  fighter's belly; each launcher can contain six concussion missiles.
The
  A-wing "Type 6" starfighter started to come off the production lines
just
  before the Battle of Endor. Only about 20 of that model of A-wing were

  built, which were immediately assigned to the Rebel Alliance's Magenta

  Squadron.
