I strongly disagree. Sure, it tells you the difference between the 
different fighters... but I don't think it's excellent, in the same way 
that I don't think Car Wars is an excellent car combat game - a game 
turn, depicting a very short period of time, takes a rather long time to

play. Too long, IMO.

Of course, I haven't seen any other fighter games, so I can't point you 
at anything better :(

Try Renegade Legions: Interceptor. The game play is very good and the
rules are well written. The one thing is that you get the feel of a
fighter ace as you play. And it works well with Star Wars fighter
combat.
Chrunchy Frog/ Night Shift Games now has the rights to all (past and
future) Renegade Legion products ( which was produced by FASA).
