Please let it remove the dominance of Fat Turrets. Please let's see their number reduced to only 25% of the lists brought.

It does not reliably deal 2 damage. Unless you do fancy Focus sharing or take squad leader for an extra action, you can only modify one attack with it. On targets that people say hate this turret such as Soontir, he avoids the damage nicely, unless you block him, just like always. Even other ships with boost have no problem because of AT.

I'm probably oversimplifying the odds but 3 unmodified greens with autothrusters are roughly the equivilent to 3 unmodified red dice. Autothrusters will help mitigate a lot of the damage but a couple of points a round will still probably get through. Most ships with Autothrusters can't afford to let damage like that get through. Soontir with Stealth Device is in a better spot with has stack of tokens and extra green die.

Yes, it does practically guarantee 1 damage on most ships and offers a good chance at 2 damage, excluding the decimator, but I feel the price and the platform selection for taking this turret balance it nicely. The only list that is roughly skewed in power by TLTs introduction are lists with multiple Y-Wings.

I think that it is accurate to say that the TLT offers the most reliable damage in the game that still permits the target to roll defense dice. It's a good weapon and a squad full of them is going to be tough for a lot of lists to beat.
