... why pilots are better shots than soldiers?

As a former US Army Airborne Infantry Ranger, this really kinda bugs me.

Troopers/soldiers get WAY more small arms practice than pilots.

    Stormtroops aim to miss.
    They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose, Nor spoke, nor moved their eyes; It had been strange, even in a dream, To have seen those dead men rise.

    It's EA's game. I like the fact that pilots are the best shots. Some people will whine about anything...

    I thought the same thing. It's like FOTP is shooting you with a Tie Fighter cannon.

    Thanks for your service both of you.

    Yes it is a bit odd. If you look at the movies though the Storm Troopers could not hit the broad side of a barn 5 feet in front of thjem, yet pilots get their targets very nicely. It meets the movie flow.

    Look at it though also Mace hits like a wimp, and a bug and a pilot and non jedi 1hko. Luke has a gun, is slow, and not viable.

    Stormtroopers couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

    You can stick that whine up your butt.

    It was a casual observation about things not making sense, asking for clarification.

    Also, Stormtroopers are not the only soldiers in GoH.

    It's a game not real life. Get over it. Btw I am just responding to your post with the same respect that you choose to show everyone else here.

    +1000. Probably my favorite comment I've ever read here. I'm still chuckling.

    Also, thanks for the service, guys.

    Sorry, I didnt know you were speaking for everyone on the forums... when was the election?

    Also, when people make several whiny posts on the same topic, I tell them to shut up, because they are just killing other peoples mood. Misery loves company, and some of you kids just LOVE to be miserable about EVERYTHING.

    Heads up. Its a game and its free.

    Not having fun? Dont play.

    Quit trying to ruin other peoples fun and I have nothing to say to you.
