K-wing dial

By jackal13, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So, basically a HWK dial, but trading the red 3 banks and 4 forward for 3 banks.

You're going to have to get used to the SLAM drive, that's for sure.

I'm not so sure about the SLAM Drive having to be used all the time... It has a primary weapon of 360 degrees. Not to mention a turret slot. Having arcs on the target isn't super crucial (Helps against the likes of Soontir and Autothrusters ....), but I don't see this a huge setback. To be honest the dial is A LOT better than I thought it would be.

I think the K-Wing's use of SLAM will really vary based on how much was spent on ordnance. As a small base turret ship it has a great dial and SLAM will probably be mostly used as a GTFO move. With a bunch of ordnance to drop, you'll probably be using the SLAM a lot more to line up shots.

Funny to me the tie bomber's 2 sharp is red, but the larger kwing just shrugs it off

Not exactly a fast mover. From the speculation before the reveal I was anticipating something that could really turn and burn. No red which is nice. Just another ship I can crash into a space rock.
