I thought of that in my childhood; if it was more tightly explained like “getting under the port’s very wide shield” or something, that might’ve been satisfactory.
A bunch of aspects of the battle are really vague, like why do the rebels spend time shooting at the “deflection towers” and not just all make a beeline for the trench? The movie doesn’t need to explain all that of course but that won’t stop me from picking apart every single line of dialogue and reverse engineering a more complex account of the rebel’s attack plan.
