Thought: is it possible that Luke was the only one of the three carrying proton torpedoes?

Yeah, maybe Dodonna heard Wedge's outburst (I mean, who wouldn't be able to, really?) about it being impossible and said, "Okay, son, if that's how you feel about it, no torpedoes for you!"

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

It's a good job it wasn't Wedge at the front, then, eh?

Rrrright, ask WW2 gunners (bomber crewmen) and WW2 fighter pilots... ...or play darned "X-Wing:Alliance" from LEC.
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

I didn't say it was easy. I just said it would be easier than having to do both at once.

But if you're flying, you can pursue your target and dogfight them until you get a good shot in. If you're the gunner, you're at the whim of the pilot. Second the motion that you play X-wing: Alliance. Those missions when you're stuck in the YT's gun suck.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. It makes it almost impossible to pursue your target independently, sure. But you have much less stress about having to survive a dogfight if you're entirely focused on just shooting anything that comes in your path. Then again, I've never been in a real dogfight before, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
