{{Quote|The TIE Interceptor rushes ahead and clears paths for allies, takes down bombers, and ties up enemy fighters.|Website description}}
−
In {{Star Wars Battlefront II}}, the '''TIE/IN Interceptor''' is the Interceptor class for the {{Galactic Empire}} in the game mode [[Starfighter Assault]]. As an Interceptor, its weapons and abilities are geared towards being effective against other enemy starfighters. In addition, the TIE/IN is much more maneuverable than the [[TIE/LN Fighter]] or [[TIE/SA Bomber]], allowing pilots to perform maneuvers not otherwise possible.
  
   
  +
The TIE Interceptor excels at hunting down and engaging other starfighters. As an interceptor, it makes use of its impressive speed and maneuverability in order to close in on its enemies and to shake off pursuers.
−
===Weapons & abilities===
  
⚫
'''Quad Laser Cannons'''<br />
  
−
Unlike the previous game, the TIE/IN fires all four of its laser cannons simultaneously, instead of two at a time. Because of this, the TIE/IN deals much more damage per shot (DPS) than its {{Rebel Alliance}} counterpart, the [[RZ-1 A-Wing]], but its cannons overheat much quicker.
  
   
  +
The Afterburner ability grants a speed boost to the TIE Interceptor, and can be used in order to break missile locks and to shake pursuers.
⚫
'''Afterburner'''<br />
  
−
The Afterburner ability allows the TIE Interceptor increased speed, handy when trying to evade enemies or chase another enemy Interceptor.
  
   
  +
With the Hard Lock ability, the TIE Interceptor can dedicate itself into hunting down single targets by dealing increased damage, locking onto them faster, and being unable to lose them. The Hard Lock ability can also be used in order to take down [[Hero Starfighters]] faster, and can also be used on objectives for increased damage.
−
'''Target Lock'''<br />
  
−
Target Lock allows the TIE/IN to lock onto an enemy longer and easier, staying locked even if the enemy goes out of the regular targeting area. This ability proves especially useful in taking out fast or evasive enemies and what makes Interceptors so deadly to enemy fighters.
  
   
  +
The Concussion Missile ability allows the TIE Interceptor to briefly disorient enemy starfighters it hits, along with being able to blind soldiers on the ground that are near the explosion. While not as powerful as torpedoes from the [[Fighter (class)|Fighter]] or [[Bomber (class)|Bomber]], the Concussion Missile is still capable of finishing off weakened targets.
⚫
'''Concussion Missile'''<br />
  
  +
−
The standard missile ability. Pilots must first activate the ability, wait for it to lock-on, and then manually fire. This differs from the previous ''Star Wars Battlefront'' game, where activating the ability would instantaneously fire the projectile.

This article covers information from DICE's Star Wars Battlefront series.   This article covers information from Pandemic Studio's Star Wars: Battlefront series.  

The TIE/IN Interceptor, or the TIE Interceptor, is an Imperial starfighter that can be piloted in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II.

Star Wars Battlefront[]

"Faster and better-armed descendants of regular TIE fighters, TIE interceptors are waiting for you in the Fighter Squadron, Supremacy, and Walker Assault game modes."
— Star Wars Battlefront website

Overview[]

TIE Interceptors are one of the two default vehicles for the Empire, the other being the TIE Fighter. They are variants of the TIE fighter, but with a noticeable increase in speed and firepower. They are often used to dispatch enemy ships in aerial combat. TIE interceptors are available in Fighter Squadron, Supremacy, Skirmish, and Walker Assault game modes.

TIE Interceptors have a very similar appearance to TIE Fighters, except that the Interceptor's wings are facing forwards instead of vertically, and the wings are curved. One of the other differences is that the Interceptors have quad lasers, and the Fighters have twin lasers.

They are seen as the counterparts of the A-Wing.

Weapons & Abilities[]

The TIE Interceptor has one primary weapon and two special abilities for use:

Quad Laser Cannons
The primary weapon for the TIE Interceptor. The weapon are located from the four corners of the TIE Interceptor's wings. The Quad Laser Blasters fire four shots that will damage enemies upon impact.

Speed Boost
The first special ability for the TIE Interceptor. Speed boost is handy for evading enemy fire and missiles locking on to you. It's also handy for a quick get-away if you're low on health.

Laser Barrage
The second ability for the TIE Interceptor. Allows you to fire without overheating for a short time and deals more damage per shot. This ability replaced the ability to fire ion torpedoes after the Death Star patch came out.

Star Wars Battlefront II[]

"Flown by the elite pilots of the Imperial Navy, the TIE interceptor combines high speed and four laser cannons to hunt down Rebel starfighters."
— In-game description

The TIE Interceptor returns in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II as an Interceptor unit. It is playable on Starfighter Assault, certain Galactic Assault maps, and certain Supremacy maps.

Overview[]

"The TIE Interceptor rushes ahead and clears paths for allies, takes down bombers, and ties up enemy fighters."
— Website description

The TIE Interceptor excels at hunting down and engaging other starfighters. As an interceptor, it makes use of its impressive speed and maneuverability in order to close in on its enemies and to shake off pursuers.

The Afterburner ability grants a speed boost to the TIE Interceptor, and can be used in order to break missile locks and to shake pursuers.

With the Hard Lock ability, the TIE Interceptor can dedicate itself into hunting down single targets by dealing increased damage, locking onto them faster, and being unable to lose them. The Hard Lock ability can also be used in order to take down Hero Starfighters faster, and can also be used on objectives for increased damage.

The Concussion Missile ability allows the TIE Interceptor to briefly disorient enemy starfighters it hits, along with being able to blind soldiers on the ground that are near the explosion. While not as powerful as torpedoes from the Fighter or Bomber, the Concussion Missile is still capable of finishing off weakened targets.
