I am currently running this list:

2 x Dagger Squadron B-Wings both with Advanced Sensors

2 x Red Squadron X-wings with no upgrades

This list has only lost once so far and that was vs a dual Firespray Scum list with Bobba Fett and Kath Scarlett. A major factor in the loss was due to a round of poor piloting on my part.

I am thinking of changing to the following list:

4 x Blue Squadron B-Wings all with Advanced Sensors

I like the 1st list due in large part to the PS 4 all around and the added versatility with the X-Wings 4 K turn. The 2nd list with 4 B-Wing list is still PS 2 all around, thus going before most swarms and is just a lot of damage points to chew through. Also it is all the same maneuver dial so piloting errors on my part should be reduced significantly. I almost always fly in a tight formation concentrating firepower. And both lists let me do this.

So what do you guys think? Is the trade off of PS 4 but different dials for PS 2, same dial and 6 more damage worth it?

Currently, I don't see hardly anyone running ships in the PS 3/4 range, so having the reds seems totally pointless to me, but maybe in your area its a big deal? Based on your post, it sounds to me like your meta is caught in some strange time warp...

I have become so disenchanted with the x-wing, I can't even consider flying it (except for some of the named pilots, and only 'for fun'). If you still find it effective though, well more power to you!

As for your question, advanced sensor blues definitely gives you more options, although the pre-move barrel roll can become addictive (its fun but shooting with no focus/TL all the time is a bad idea). It also helps 'open up' your k-turn if you roll beforehand, and well, always getting an action before bumping or doing a red move is certainly nice. So yeah, its definitely a better 'build'.

I'd totally cannibalize the reds for FCS on the b-wings (reds get down-graded to rookie pilots)

Nowadays, though, I personally prefer tactician over sensors. They give you far more game against high agility such as soontir, aggressors, and the phantom
