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.
What do folks think of R7-T1?
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.
