Rebel "U-boats" (KKK)

By strawb3rrypanic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

This has probably been suggested already but how is this for a rebel counterpart attempt?

Esege

Xtra munitions

Xx tracers

Fleccette torp

Recspec

Chips

Guardian sq pilot x2

Xtra munitions

Chimps

Homing missiles

You out ps the boats. Now you can alter the ordnance but i decided on homing missiles to more closely mimic the boats by having a fully modifiable shot with both target locks to reroll and focus to spend...

We need a better title than the kkk, which is offensive at first glance. That said, I would always want Miranda. The K wing remains popular even while ordinance isn't in the meta. So, I'd like to see your list work. But, three bombers seems lopsided and won't have an answer for all opponents. Imho.

So, I agree it looks pretty fun, but the name really does need to change. Perhaps something like Black Fleet Killers?

true but how is that really any different than the u-boats?

The jumpmaster is a very different base ship compared to the K-wing. At a first glance they're similar-ish; both being able to fire extremely accurate ordnance, and both having PWTs. Those are just surface similarities. The Jumpmaster has several other features that make it an adaptable all-rounder, which have contributed to why the 'Wolfpack' list has done so well recently. Briefly the reasons are:

1) It's very tough at 9HP with agility 2 (important to get munitions off before dying).

2) It's large base + Barrel-roll makes it an excellent blocker (important vs aces).

3) I has Deadeye (lets it threaten higher PS ships with it's ordnance).

4) It's PWT + large base + R4-agro make it threatening even at R1 (and it can stay at R1 pretty easily).

5) It has an excellent dial, and can turn around and still fire ordnance (Important for many of the above points).

Add all this to the main boon of accurate, easily fired ordnance, and you have an excellent all rounder.

Also the Triple K-wing list should be called: 'Special K'

Here's my version:

70 (2x) Guardian w/ ABT, HomingM, EM, Intel, Chips.

30 Guardian w/ ABT, PlasmaT, Chopper, Chips.
