Is dual YT-2400 viable?

By Nikolishin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

As it says on the can: is a dual YT-2400 list viable?

Can it be flown with success? And what loadout should the ships have?

Personally, I am thinking of this build:

"Leebo" — YT-2400 34

Determination 1

Recon Specialist 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Ship Total: 42

Dash Rendar — YT-2400 36

Push the Limit 3

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Kyle Katarn 3

Engine Upgrade 4

Outrider 5

Ship Total: 58

a local has had amazing success with super dash + HLC, Int agent Fringer

without cannons, though, I believe that 2 attack primary is doomed to failure (thank god, cause this game has enough PWT bull as is)

I'd need to agree with ficklegreendice that your problem will quickly be putting out enough damage. In the OP's example you've got a ship you pretty much want and need to kill quickly and it also happens to be the ship that will be the easier one to actually kill. Would it be better to turn you back on the soft but hard hitting Dash or the touch but soft punching Leebo?

What about dropping the Engine Upgrade on Leebo for a Mangler cannon? No Outrider title, but you're still throwing out some damage in the forward arc and you have the 2 dice primary to fall back on. No Boost, but you can still Barrel Roll.

Dash (PTL, Mangler, Kyle, Outrider, Engine)

Leebo (Determination, HLC, Recon Specialist)

100 points

Dash (Predator, HLC, Gunner)

Leebo (Predator, HLC, Gunner)

100 points

vote for admat's top-most list

though I would encourage the HLC, int agent fringer. That int agent is as hard a counter to soonts and other high PS pilots as the YTs will ever have (and the fringer itself is a blocker, I mean holy crap dat barrel-roll)

Now lists like these I can kind of support although I'd revamp the second squadron.

That first squadron gives you the ship to send into the mix while Leebo gets to sit back with the HLC and effectively say "come and get me".

Thanks! hehe

The second one is actually a friend's idea for a Rebel "brobots". Of course, lower defense and primary attack, but a bit more health. I have yet to try it, but I'm looking forward to it for sure. :-)
