So when jousting btla ys, you want to get into range one as fast as possible, my goal is to prevent that from happening, I figure the 1 green straight, plus barrel roll will end me up at almost where I started at, hopefully giving me an extra turn of firing at range 2 most of the time. Plus I want to see the look on peoples faces when I barrel roll with a y wing.
SUCK IT POE
If you want to take BB-8 in a Y-wing, a Twin Laser Turret isn't a bad call - BB-8 helps you clear your guns of someone in range 1.
My one suggestion would be this: it pairs best with a high pilot skill pilot.
This guy doesn't really need his action for shooting, because he has free rerolls (on blanks, anyway) - meaning you can barrel roll and boost every turn - plus at PS8 you can do this after seeing where the enemy has gone. Yes, he has a range 1 blind spot but he's a slippery little so-and-so.
I used it on a gold sqd. with the title and it did keep me in arc more times than not. I do like it used with EU as Magnus mentioned.( gonna give that a try) If you like to use bombs it works great with bomb load out. Reveal a green, drop your bomb, barrel roll, then maneuver.
It's a nice idea but the list comes in at 102...

Never go full retard xD
Ion outlived itself, TLT is better in most cases

Isn't the opposite true when stressbotting? Ionised ships cant clear it
I really like one Ion in a TLT list. Faced that in a tourney recently and the Ion covering R1 was a good tool for the TLT's to pull range again next turn.
If your only taking one or the other, then sure TLT is better but I think there is still a place for Ion.
Agreed. A mix is nice - Twin Laser Turrets are better in 75% of situations - but that's why I'd suggest taking most of the squad with them. One ion cannon doesn't hurt, though - if you come up against (for example) a B-wing, you'll be glad you had it.
And yes, Ion cannons with stresshogs are much better because if you can hit, you get the magical stress+ion combination that essentially shuts a ship down for a turn.

its 100 points exactly

I actually like 2 ions so that I can ion large based ships and keep them from getting away from me. Its a little less dmg on the first pass but it ensures ill get more shots off in the long run, and vs small based ships I may not have to start piling stress on my stress hog right away.

That is exactly how I feel about ions

I thought about putting the ion with the stress hog, But I think you have more options if you put it on a tlt (as on you can force 2 stress in early if you need too).
