What do folks think of R7-T1?

By Sanguinary Dan, in X-Wing

the only spot I have liked R7-T1 on is Dutch with a turret. you use it to boost out of arc and take a turret shot on the guy you just boosted out of and you can grant another target lock out there.

Well, the way ive been using him on Wedge works but typically only once (though it would have worked a couple more times had i known that faq i quoted).

I deliberately had him lagging behind my other ships, making him seem like less of a target because he doesnt have oodles of upgrades and he isnt getting range1, but my other ships are. Then at PS10 via adapt he suddenly acquires a TL and boosts into range1. Its caught quite a few people off guard and **** he hits hard if you pulled off an intimidation somewhere too lol.

Prior to knowing that faq the most i used it in 1 game is twice lol. Usually because the boost would either bump or make me lose arc, so i just TL'd normally. The FAQ would enable me to boost into range2 to avoid range3 issues if i had another ship i wasnt after within the 1-2 restriction looking at me, and potentially get away from it too at the same time.
