I'm trying to make a bunch of ace squadrons similar in fashion to the ace squadrons in Ace Combat Zero - The Belkan War. I based this one off of Gelb Team (pair of Su-37s) because of their heaviness and maneuverability. I figured the synergy between Expert Handling and K4 would work great. Expert Handling also works with firing up a feedback array if you can get into range 1 of an enemy from a position where you couldn't get arc. Manglers are great and Engine Upgrade allows better chances for some arc dodging and range 1 shots.

I also named it Jester Squadron because it seems like a funny list full of tricks to play.

Not sold on Mangler cannons on ships with 3 red dice already. You're paying 4 points just to make one hit a crit and ignore range 3 extra greens.

I feel like in your list a couple of Ion cannons would work better. Can either double up on a large base ship or hit two small bases, then next turn either close for a range 1 shot or use feedback array. The last 2 points could go into a seismic charge or ion bomb.

Yeah ion cannons are always handy. Since you have engine, I wouldn't bother with expert handling. Switching the Manglers to ions gives you just enough points to upgrade to outmanoeuver or push the limit
