Ran into this last night...

Whisper with Advanced Cloaking and Navigator

3x Black TIE with predator and hull upgrade

Yikes. I was stunned at how the one extra hull really upped the survivability of the TIEs, and Jesus whisper at close range... My opponent twice rolled five hits and crits, and both times killed a ship (Wedge the first time, a weakend Kyle Frelander the second). I couldn't get a grip on the **** Phantom, and the ties were not only hard to kill but, with predator, they really did a bit of damage to my low agility ships.

Is this a pretty tough list to fight against if you have no falcon or turrets or what?

Phantoms take some practice to battle without turrets. You need to predict where they will most likely decloak and end their move; then you either block that spot or line up a bunch of shots there while still having a guy or two have shots at the less likely ending spots of the phantom just in case they take the less than ideal spot to avoid being in multiple firing arcs.

hmmm,

I need to try that list

Depends on what you got, but a Whisper at only PS7 shouldn't be too hard to combat for most lists; this is why they normally have VI on her.

I see this is the follow on to your "A little too good?" thread. As I asked there:

What did you fly against this with?

Good question.

Its a solid list in any case, I fly something like this often my self.

I have realized now that a "powerful list" really depends on what your local group is playing. Some groups that run mostly Falcons/HSF lists would eat Whisper for breakfast. Other groups enjoy more low-PS ships.

Personally, that list against my Phantom builds would easily be taken care of, or even against my Interceptors lists. I fly the high-PS pilots and arc-dodge as much as possible.
