I run a similar list, I just give Jonus Swarm Tactics and a Shield Upgrade. I also prefer Cluster Missiles, but that's a personal preference.

Good luck.

It looks interesting, my only concern is that i dont really know if you are gonna be able to shoot and fail that many times for munitions failsafe to be trigger since munition failsafe + extra munitions makes it 3 atack round i dont really know if jonus would be able to survive.

If you remove the munition failsafe you can change deadeye for swarm tactics, leave 1 initiative point for bid or change assault missiles for cluster missiles and that leaves you with free space to try some stuff like Kentucky said or Squad Leader+Experimental Interface letting you atack with clusters the same turn you target lock with a focus.

Dunno, id probably go with your list tho.

Hi;

I tried Cluster Missiles but their short range is a serious handicap. But i am reconsidering Swarm Tactics despite of Jonus not very high PS.

Thank you.

Maybe something to improve Jonus survivability.

Thank you.

The point for carrying a pair of Ion torpedoes is to ensure a pair of turns with easy targets for the Scimitars.

But i know Jonus will die in the third combat turn as much. Maybe i dont need Extra Ammo.

I am giving Jonus more chances of survivability using a double action (Focus and Evade) while they go ahead slowly.

And Gamma pilots are not as weak against Predators as Scimitar pilots.

if you dont fly against a swarm then too many assaults...i like to diversify my bombers. if you go with: one gamma with assault, one with cluster (nice with jonus) and one with concussion then you can also have points left for a ...bomb on a bomber
