Okay, so I have noticed lots of people using the TLT on K Wings...etc, etc.

Can someone explain why they are so good...in that many players are favoring them over other weapon options? I know you shoot twice..awesome. But you can only cause a max of 1 damage for each attack??? Is that correct?

Many thanks

Better odds of getting at least 1 hit. This is the bane of Soontir with Stealth device, and melts down Decimators.

Also, it's the first Range 3 Turret weapon, and the first one that just does damage without making you jump through hoops.

Fly a squad of 2-Agility ships against four ships with TLTs where their owner keeps rolling three hits every time and you'll see what the big deal is.

On a K-wing, it means you have 3 dice at all ranges (the K-Wing's primary is 2-attack 360).

I bought a K-Wing and put it out with a TLT the same night. My opponent had to point out that the K-Wing's primary is indeed effective at range 1 because I thought it was forward only. This makes K-Wings really hot.

The TLT fires twice, so it can sneak a hit by a focus/evade token much easier with one or the other attack (it is the bane of interceptors often). Against 1-Agility ships, it's probably going to do better at range 3 than most 3-attack dice ships. It makes the Y-Wing a better ship with better options. It makes the Hwk and multi-Hwk lists much more viable. It sticks it to the Empire because they can't use it.

Two attacks with 3 dice means you don't need to concerns yourself nearly as much with Target Locks (indeed, they are unnecessary with a TLT) and Focus.

Now on a K-wing, add crew and bombs and it gets so pleasurable to imagine that I sometimes pass out...
