This is what I am thinking I just need some input on finalizing the details

3x Blue B-wings + Crew upgrade title+ tactician =25 points each

Gold Y-wing with ion turret and BTL4 title + R3-A2 =25 points

100 points total

Do I need to drop the warthog aspect and have a full ion turret to deal with phantoms or will I have enough spread of fire and enough stress that I will be able to cripple them through overloading them with stress?

I run a similar list. I utilize the ion turret to force ships into one straights giving me time to focus fire the B-wings. I normally can knock off one ship a round that way. I do run FCS rather than tactician giving them stronger hits.

yeah Another variant I was thinking of was

2x Gold Ywing with Ion turret (warthog optional) and 2x Blue Bwings with FCS, Crew title upgrade and tactician for 100 points total.

I think the non-title is more reliable for panic attack

with four sources of stress, stacking it isn't so much an issue as getting a flighty ship in arc. The 360 arc "helps" by ignoring maneuverability completely

The 360 "Arc" also really helps compensate for how stiff the Y-wing is, greatly opening up its dial and allowing you to more easily lay the devastating stress + ion combination on small ships.

I would only recommend the title when you need to improve the Y-wing's damage output, particularly against low agility (especially large base) ships. With 3 B-wings and the indirect damage improvements coming from action-denial (no defensive tokens), I don't think it's necessary for that variation of panic attack.

This brings up another question what is your better attack ship the Y-wing Gold with title ion turret and a droid upgrade (r3-a2) or a Blue Bwing with FCS and/or Tactician/crew upgrade title for the points?

if your set on running 3 b's and a y then I would do this used it works great

ps 2- b-wing , fire control x 3

ps-2 y wing - ion, unhinged (all 3 moves are green)

I didn't think you could put unhinged on a Rebel ship. Only Scum. It's a "scavenged" astromech and has a different icon. I normally run R2 to give more green.

if only unhinged could go on a gold

FCS B-wing by a mile, then B-wing, then BTL

Reason being that the BTL is powerful, but not nearly as flexible as straight 3 dice of damage. Both attacks will proc green dice, and the 2 dice portion is notoriously difficult to punch through high agility with (especially without modifiers, and since Rebs don't have the R4 aggro...) which is why I feel they are far more effective against low agility ships (especially fatties, because the one damage + ion is incredibly weak against them, but the 2 dice can double or triple the damage output per shot). The range 1-2 limitation on the ICT is also brutal

FCS B-wings are absolutely terrifying for their cost because of the focus + TL combo basically guaranteeing 3/4 damage per toss
