Hey folks. I have a buddy going to regionals and is fearing the Soontir RAC lists that will likely be there. I want to fly it against him, but since I haven't flown it before, I'm wondering what's the popular meta list for these two

This is popular around here and puts in some work. Makes it tough to get past. The strategy that I've seen is Soontir slow plays to let RAC engage and wear down the opponent's ships then Soontir cleans up late-game, as he usually does.

I was thinking a similar list, but I thought stealth was preferred over targeting computer. I also considered VI over Predator, but I know the value of ashtrays being able to modify offensive rolls

Vi isn't as essential because of the phantom nerf

The only real reason you saw it was to beat ACD, since pwts don't give two ***** about the phantom's position anyway.

Now that whisper's mostly gone, there's no real correlation between a turret's PS and damage output. Combined with a cheaper wingman (soonts) there's no reason not to spend points on predator

Good point, I agree with that
