Ok was thinking of useing this list. maybe in a local tourney. And wonder what everyone thinks.

Horton Saim + ion cannon turret + shield upgrade

x3 Green squadron pilots + PTL.

Thanks for any and all advice/help and criticisms

.

Maybe an Engine Upgrade instead of a shield? You can use the extra mobility to get out of range one and continue to use his ability.

good idea and ty.

Actually I'd go R2-D2 potentially (or Engine Upgrade as advised). Or I'd look at using a HWK instead of Horton with Ion Cannon and Intelligence Agent so that you can look at an enemy ship's dial and work out if it is best to boost or TL with your A-Wings. Also with Rebel Aces coming out, you could put Chardaan Refits on the A-Wings to save 6 points to spend elsewhere.

You should proxy in some chaardan refits to free up 6 points.

My experience with Horton and Ion Turret is that there is not as much synergy between the two. Sure at range 2 you could reroll 2 dice but at range 1 the ability is gone and at range 3 you can't attack with ion turret. Horton was designed to deliver proton torpedoes and he does a real good job with that. Flechete Torpedoes also works at the same range with Horton Ability.

If you want Ion Torpedoes use a different Y-wing pilot because you end up spending so much points for a lot of lost efficiency. The pilot ability and Ion Cannon range doesn't match up well enough to justify the points spent.

If you want Horton, just use proton torpedoes. You will get the most value out of those single shot upgrades.

Or r2-d2 top increase survivability

R7-T1 if you have it for a target lock and a boost.
