TLT vs Large ships

By Deagles, in X-Wing

Haven't tried this yet, but just wondering how well TLT's would do against say the Imperial Raider?

Good...bad?

What are some other options of dealing with the Raider if you don't have the CR90 to help counter it?

Doug

Shoot at it. A lot.

In the tail section, if possible.

Actually, in general if a corvette and a Raider go toe-to-toe the Raider is going to win. It has more energy, easier recovery, and just straight up more guns to fire.

Your best bet is the same as with all Huge ships: get someone behind the thing and keep firing.

Well, they tear it's fore in a matter of turns, because TLTs don't really worry about your Reinforce, and they WILL dish more damage than you can recover.

While you do shoot first and you have Godsent turbolasers, on average TLT-Ywings will tear it apart.

you mean HUGE ships

large ships ala the falcon are TLT food ^_^

but not so much the Aggressor :(

TLT's are one way to do it, but not the only way. Massing Rookie X-wings is not a bad idea. They are fast enough to get their quickly. Tanky enough to require concentrated fire to take one down. Have the firepower to do damage when you open up on them. 4-5 X-wings firing for two turns will put the hurt on a Raider.

Torpedoes are a good way of taking down the Raider and most Rebel ships can take them. It can be hard, though, with the TL. It's really bad to go right at one and expect to get the shot off. You move first and are either out of range or in range. They move next, so if you were out of range, you are too close for next turn. If you were in range, you might be R1. If you can go in at an angle, you are doing great. Too bad you can't get LRS for Y-wings.

Plasma Torpedoes are great weapons as they are cheap. Guidance Chip will come out and can probably be proxied. They can take the shields down on a Raider fast. After that, then all damage is brutal.

Proton Torpedoes can be a nightmare to a Raider. The extra crit can seriously put the hurt on a Raider if it's shields are down.

Vs. Large ships, TLT's eat them up besides for Aggressors. HOWEVER, large ships have a few things going for them that help them in the TLT matchup. Large ship boost helps a lot for getting into range 1, and their large bases mean you can have a lot of things at range 1 easily.

Vs. huge ships, as soon as that blob of 8 TLT's gets in range you lose half of it. Then next turn you lose the other half lol.
