Someone please explain what Stresshog is... what ship/pilot/upgrades? How is it played?

Stresshog is usually a generic y-wing pilot with TLT, R3-A2, and sometimes the BTL-44 title. It's main purpose is control and action denial targeting ships that rely heavily on actions or aces such as Fel, Vader, Poe by adding multiple stress tokens to them limiting their actions and maneuvers.

I think for a stress hog to be successful it more or less has to have the title because r3-a2 places stress each time a target is declared and you don't declare a target for the second tlt shot. So it would only be one stress per barrage without the title. That being said on anyone relying on ptl that single stress can still be devastating.
