The A-Wing uses Borstel RG-9 Laser Cannons but in the game it's not an option.

Yeah, I noticed there are quite a few lore inaccuracies like that.
The T-65B X-wing is canonically equipped with four Taim & Bak KX9 laser cannons, but they're missing in-game. Likewise, the BTL-A4 Y-wing is supposed to be equipped with either two Taim & Bak IX4, or two Taim & Bak KX5 laser cannons, but they're also unavailable. Instead, by default both starfighters are equipped with Taim & Bak KX8 laser cannons?
Another issue is the "ArMek Automatic Ion Cannon" is obviously suppose to be the BTL-A4 Y-wing's ArMek SW-4 dual ion cannon, but for some reason it's not called that in-game.
Motive practically threw canon out the window with the ships' specs, armament and aesthetic customization, and it frustrates me. Yes, sacrifices to lore for the sake of gameplay is sometimes necessary, but I take issue when it's done needlessly or poorly.
