something you may not have thought about for the btl-a4 upgrade, is that marksmanship will work for both attacks.

that makes y-wings with marksmanship supremely efficient. it shouldnt be a stretch to deal 3 damage and an ion token each turn. paired with dace bonearm and you're bringing some srious pain AND status effects

Yes, but who? The only natural EPT is the new PS7 Scum pilot, otherwise you're using someone's droid slot as well to give them that. And, Kavil gets his bonus from shooting out of arc anyway, so he wouldn't take the A4. Dutch would probably do more with his target locks like usual, but Horton might see some solid use out of Marksmanship. He's stuck with the Ion Turret though, unless you're trying to get him a focus token for the Blaster. A Grey Squadron Pilot might be your most efficient use of that Talent, but why spend the extra six points over a Gold Squadron Pilot just to get Marksmanship?

Except that the only Scum Y-wing who can take an EPT is Kavil, and his ability depends entirely on firing outside the arc.

The Rebel side is marginally better, since theoretically you could use R2-D6 to give one to a Rebel pilot, but then you've used up your Astromech slot for attack enhancement, and you're left trying to dogfight with the Y-wing dial, which is painful. If you pick up a stress anywhere, you're going to have a rough time clearing it.

But yeah, people have been aware of Marksmanship as a good option for multiple attacks since about Gunner

yeah i just noticed kavil's limitation. hmmm. welp, it appears that ffg is much better at making games than me, so i'll be over here playing them instead.

Its silly expensive but you could run this:

Gray sqd + R2-D6 + Blaster Turret + EI + Marksman + BTL-A4 = 31 points

Hits really hard at range 1. You get two modified attack with 3 dice each. Not all that awesome outside of that though.

Y-Wing Gray Squadron

+ R2-D6

+ Predator

+ Blaster Turret

+ BTL-A4

= 28 Points

-> Y-Wing takes Focus as action

-> fires primary weapon (predator)

-> right after that fires secondary weapon with Focus (predator)

-> enemy boom I love my new Y-Wing

I think we all learned something today.
