Poe with TLT Y stressbot and A Wings

By Wretch, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The plan is the A wings will block and the Y will potentially triple tap and stress the biggest threat with Poe providing the offense.

I have run Poe with predator and r5-p9 and that is very effective, but he had other ships to help with the offense. I am afraid that the list won't be able to put out enough damage to be really effective. In addition I will be handicapping the TLT potential offense with the BTL title by limiting it to firing in arc. Would an ion Y be a better choice? I have thought about downgrading the A wings to Z 95s to free up points or going with a 3 ship list. I wanted to get the communities thoughts?

I've run btl-a4 a few times and, in my experience, it's poor maneuverability makes stressing yourself the last thing you want to do. I find it hard enough to keep the desired target in sight as it is lol. Plus focus or tl is handy for making the primary actually do something. A 2 dice attack isnt great and if your primary isn't hitting, you may aswell not take btl-a4 at all

Ion isnt bad if your plan is to line something up for poe anyway

Cant really help on the a-wing vs z-95 thing as i have that same debate in my head all the time. Obviously a's are better, but those extra points for upgrades can make a lot of difference depending on what you have to give them to
