Against the Quad Y's.

By R5D8, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So...

Gold Squadron w/ R5 and TLT

Gold Squadron w/ R5 and TLT

Gold Squadron w/ R5 and Ion Turret

Gold Squadron w/ R3-A2, BLT-A4, and TLT

Your opponent flies this in a 2x2 formation with the twin Y's up front that he tries to block with if possible.

What would you fly against this?

crackswarm probs

really digging the ion Y, though

I'd take BBBBZ, break the Z out as a flanker and to try to do my own blocking. Keep the Bs in a pinwheel and focus down the ICT Y-Wing, if he's in the rear echelon. Bs are basically an even match in terms of maneuverability with non-R2 Y-Wings. Close as quickly as possible to range 1. I think you'd probably chew through those Ys pretty quickly.
