Thug Y-Wings win spanish national championship

By Fuego Estelar, in X-Wing

If you actually want to post math, go for it, but invoking it without proof does nothing.

I'm done.

Guys, if anything this means the rise of Sensor Jammer IGs. They really don't have to fear much between 3 defense dice, ATs and a realistic maximum of 2 incoming damage per attack roll.

Wired+AT+SJ is absolute bollocks to punch, let me tell you hwhat.

So you're saying your claim that PWTs one shot arc dodgers who stand unscratched from TLTs is actually BS? Because there was no math there at all, just a claim.

The numbers i posted are from Xwing Battle Computer Pro (Android App from the playstore), they're acurate.

It was bound to happen.

The question is:

What are we all going to do about it?

I think I'm dusting off sensor jammer phantoms.

See, this guy gets it. Something new comes along that can challenge the old guard? Great! After all the complaining about the previous top lists, you'd think people would be a little bit happier to have something shake things up. So instead of jumping on the forums to ***** and moan at FFG, go build some lists, do some testing, and report back when you've found the silver bullet to TLTs!!

I've long been a proponent of SJ, doesn't change the fact that playing against it is terribly boring.

No, no removal of TLT.

TLTs were one of the best things happened to X-wing and the meta. It brought back HWK and Y-wings (rebel and scum ships at once), tremendously increasing the diversity of the meta

But if they escalate, there is always the option to put a limit on them (e.g maximum of 2 or 3 per squad allowed).

But I dont think they will be a big issue. People were just not prepared for Quad-TLTs, so the meta will change according to them, and then, when they are almost gone, balance will come back. Scuh as BBBBZ. Everybody was scared of this squad, but now you rarely see them (at least not more than most of the other squads)

I didn't find my matches against them boring so far. They were always pretty on edge with lots of manouvering to get into those holes or to isolate one of them. Didn't win any of them, but I got pretty close. Now when I was at the helm of quad-TLT that was were boredom kicked in a bit, but I helped that with the inclusion of Roark Garnet and a Stressbot. Made the list a bit more versatile and took away some of the autopilot turret feeling.

It's just too dull to play. That's my opinion. I'll bet there a zillion ways to play against it and we'll all find them. But for a while it's going to be death by a thousand cuts.

No nerf bat required. Just some gameplay time and effort.

What was the top 8 lists in the Spanish National Championship. I'm assuming there were more TLT lists out there in the tournament. Just want to see if TLT really dominate the tournament lists or not. Also, for the folks who watched the Championship game was it a close one or pretty one sided?

Thanks

Sounds good but what do you use to stress yourself if Wired takes up the Elite slot and AT's taken the slot you could use for EI ?

LOL@the people claiming players from the finals table of a Nationals event need to learn to play better. Who are you?

Play "better"? Probably more like adjust to the capabilities of a new force in the metagame. But yeah, just because a build wins one nationals does not mean the world is ending.

Absolutely **** right!

So the list has now won one major national. Okay. How many has Dash won, Han, Phantoms?

I understand that it's a pretty strong list. But it's definitely beatable by a lot of other strong lists. I guess it will win some more tournaments from now on. But so will other new and old lists.

I absolutely don't get why people are already crying for a nerf... We have not even started to see what the meta looks like.

What mass TLTs will probably do is kick some of the older competitive lists out. And that's not to everyones liking. But i think it's a very healthy thing.

My only problem is that up to now every net list has had room to make it your own.

My TIE Swarm list is 8 ties yours may be 7.

I like Chewy in the Falcon with a powerful 2nd ship other people like Han with 3 Z's

RAC with Fel, Vader, Whisper or Ecco?

All choices to be made.

Y-Wing TLT spam is 4 Y's with TLT and what should I put in the astromech slot?

Biggest choice is do I want to go slow and green or fast and green...

I don't mine the meta changing, I am just not sure this is a change for the better, only time will tell.

I suppose I should jump in the fire proof bunker after saying this, but.....

I can't imagine anything more boring than flying 4 turrets and only having to decide which target to choose. It would be like flying a box of B-17s and just shooting anything that comes in range. Oooooh the thrill. :(

Before you get too misty eyed look up bomber losses in WWII.

Can't agree more.

To me range adjustament is the way to go, Whisper, Carnor and Zeta Ace work really well against TLT. (I'm from Spain btw)

oh sure

when a bunch of Y-wings win one nations it's "turret-wing" and "dice-rolling: the game" but when Obese Han and Cheri gorge on regionals it's "variety"

there will be much whining and gnashing of teeth over TLTs and I, as the resident hater of PWTs, officially declare that I do not stand with those who hate it.

I, for one, welcome our new TLT overlords (with a tear inducing, autothrusting Poe)

Y Wings aren't the most maneuverable ships and have dead ranges too with TLT, so it's not really that simple.

they started it :(!

Even as one of the TLTurretwing meta's biggest fans, I agree that quad TLT is obnoxious. Still far less obnoxious than Fat Turretwing, and it had to be obnoxious to change the meta.

I think half of the people who hate them are Fat Turretwing players who are getting a taste of their own medicine. I know someone who loved to play Super Dash that HATES them, haha.

Couldn't you simply out damage them by flying an identical list, except with the BTL-A4 title? If you went rebels and R2 on 3 of them, you could make one an ion Stressbot. I know that sounds kind of stupid that the counter is just another quad Y list, but when they have the title they fly drastically different.

I flew Biggs walks the HWKs and got beaten by quad A-Wing. The TLT meta is fantastic OP.

Sensor Jammer exists. Not every god **** ship needs FCS as an auto include. Actual variety with the systems slot? No way!

I'd definitely thinking a pair of Green Squadron Test Pilots with Wired, PTL and Autothrusters will be great fun for getting up in the grill of those pesky TLT Ys / HWKs

I'll probably pair them with a couple of TLT Ys / HWKs tho :D

2 TLT Y-wing lists on the top 16. Word is it was the only repeated list, so there were 15 different. I'm still trying to confirm what lists where on the top.

Fun fact: the champion actually did lose the first top16 game by points, but his rival (a BBBBZ list) had an error on the list (asteroids not marked) an received a -50 points penalty at the end of the game... losing it. The players didn't know the penalty during the game, so it didn't affect how they played.

Sounds good but what do you use to stress yourself if Wired takes up the Elite slot and AT's taken the slot you could use for EI ?

Honestly? Just the IG's dial. Can even keep stress around by using turns as necessary.

Ran it vs a list earlier that had Rebel Captive on Kagi, so that was a great consistent stress source that wasn't a choice on his part.
