which is better, Jonus or col Jendon with ST-321 & Fleet Officer

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

Which would be better to fly with 3 bombers

Jonus, (When another friendly ship at Range 1 attacks with a secondary weapon, it may reroll up to 2 attack dice.)

or

Colonel Jendon, (At the start of the Combat phase, you may assign 1 of your blue target lock tokens to a friendly ship at Range 1 if it does not have a blue target lock token.)

With

Title Card ST-321, (When acquiring a target lock, you may lock onto any enemy ship in the play area.)

and

Fleet Officer, (Action: Choose up to 2 friendly ships at Range 1-2 and assign 1 focus token to each of those ships. Then receive 1 stress token.)

Hello!!

I've seem Jendon work great if you fly it well.

If you could give him advanced sensors you can take action, give out two actions, move doing a green clear stress and bump into the back of your bombers.

A lot of points though

Jonus Is great as well.

Really good if the other bombers have clusters.

More bang for your buck.

The Shuttle has little more dmg, but if your opponent gets behind it, it's dead

I have used jendon before, not with fleet officer. Interesting idea! The problem you will have is that your shuttle will be attacked first, it is enemy number 1. Start out going parallel from with the edge, stay away and allow your bombers to get the locks. Keep jendon out of enemy shooting range, use your stop if you have to, but remember, it's a red maneuver.

Most times when I tried this the enemy rushed forward and closed the range.

Have fun!

Jonus is a hell of a lot cheaper and can offer dice modification to more ships each round than Jendon can.

Jendon with Fleet Officer and the title is 10 points more than Jonus. I don't know that I'd want to have a Fleet Officer shuttle without Advanced Sensors.

I think once Wave 8 drops Jonus with Tracers will be nice. PTL and Mk II on him might be nice as well but that starts driving up the price, putting him at 30 points for 4 tracers, PTL, and Mk. II. He'd come in at 25 with just a pair of tracers and VI, Crack Shot ,or Munitions Failsafe.
