With the new wave7 goodness hitting the tables is Sensor Jammer now a better choice over Advanced Sensors?
Twin Laser Turret is going to hurt you and chew through your focus/evade tokens rather quickly. imo Sensor Jammer will help take the edge off TLT.
thoughts?
Edited by The_Brown_BomberI would surely give it a try while using the Phantom. But do single green die ships stand a chance of dodging the TLT even if equiped with a Jammer?

no but if its an aggressor with autothrusters and jammer? much better odds.
I used it on a punisher alongside Carnor against a list with 2 TLTs and it mitigated a lot of damage

Sensor Jammers are great on Aggressors for sure. Especially when Palob is around.
i love using advanced sensors but i have a feeling there will be some more control lists emerge that dish out the stress. i see jammer as insurance vs the anticipated rush of TLT lists.
It is a great choice on Colzert as you can just fly around flipping up crits, Use with a stealth device.
Sensor Jammer might work but I think Autothrustes are going to be the real thing go against TLTs.
So lets take a look, Sensor Jammer will change 1 hit to a focus per attack. Well the thing is if there is 3 hits and as a B-wing you only have 2 agility then SJ won't do much. Also the attacker can spend a focus token to flip it back to 3. So if the first attack was 3 hits which gets dropped to 2 but still hits the next attack could be 2 focus and a hit, which will get dropped to 3 focus which will have a token spent to 3 hits. So bottom line is there is a way for attackers to punch through sensor jammers.
Now as for autothrusters since defender modifying defense dice is one of the last steps once autothrusters triggers there is no way around it unlike sensor jammer. All you have to be is either out of arc or at range 3 and with TLT being a turret upgrade that has a range of 2-3 you can count on that happening a lot. So I am thinking Autothrusters would be more effective than sensor jammer.
