Spectre Wing

"The Spectre Wing are elite pilots equipped with projectile weapons firing phased ammunition."

General
The Spectre Wing is the base counterpart of the Spectre Squadron, commonly seen in high-level bases.

It employs flanking tactics against its targets rather than charging head-on into them, similar to the ship version. The flanking angle is much wider, however.

Advantages
Spectre Wings have more range and damage than the Bomber Wing, making them stronger overall.

Spectre Wings flank their targets unlike previous base wings, this eliminates the problem of destroyers firing at modules that are outside their maximum range by shooting through squadrons.

Spectre Wings have increased shield bypass, which is very useful against sniper fleets which often equip regenerating shields.

Disadvantages
Spectre Wings are just as slow as Interceptor Wings, this combined with their flight path means that they take over 10 seconds to reach their targets, wasting much of their flight time and giving enemies adequate time to prepare and shoot them down.

Trivia

 * Spectre Wings used to fly directly into the enemy rather than flanking, but an update changed this to their current state.
