TRIPLE SCOUTS ARE DEAD! But...

By SpikeSpiegel, in X-Wing

Where's the T-65 fix?

That was the T-65 fix.

Nah they still can't reposition without becoming more expensive and losing IA.

Wedges ps and ability don't count for much when you can dodge his arc even at a much lower ps.

coming soon. (I hope)

Rejoice though, because BBBBZ just became meta (sort of) again! (not gonna be top tier, but won't be last place either due to alpha striking U-boats.)

Mm, I'm not sure.

Knocking Jumpmasters off their perch helps a whole bunch, that's for sure - but Defenders are still up there, and have ruinous firepower of their own.

That said, I look forward to actually finding out how they fare, instead of it being a write-off before the tourney even started. :)

Sadly, I think TLTs will return in force with Triple Jumps gone, and TLTs will keep BBBBZ down.

ffg, fixing x-wings one pilot at a time!

What killed triple scouts?

Deadeye is now small ship only.

Everything was peaceful till the Vet. Gamma nation attacked...

That's a good point. Could Gamma Vets with Deadeye, Homing Missiles and Guidance Chips become a thing now?

Magic 8 ball: My sources say yes.

I already have a list with them and a fleet officer tie shuttle ready. So I'm hoping so.

I've already had some pretty good success with Crackshot & LRS Gamma Vets with Homing Missiles. I can see the "safer" play using Deadeye and GChips. I'll probably try both at some point, but Crackshot has helped me guarantee me a first engagement kill very often and I think that's very important since the bombers aren't as sturdy as the JM5Ks.

That was the T-65 fix.

YUP!

:lol:

BOTH X-WINGS ARE FINE NOW!

I guess Wes Janson can go back into retirement.

He's still a powerhouse staple in Rebel 3-4 ship lists, though.

With the new faq saying that you first choose weapon before weapon comes into action you should be able to remove Wes in the first turn with bombers and complettely igoring biggs (LRS version only). It sounds like this is really a FAQ to sell now TIE-Bombers to everyone. Well, and K-Wings to the new players as TLT is the other big thing, right when the re-prints arrived and completely unnecessary as the K-Wing as bomber took off just recently.

But if you fly Biggs close enough they'll still have to fire at Biggs, right?

No if they TL Wes and choose to use ordnance they bypass Biggs.

Wes says lolnokthxbye and removes TL when firing at PS8-10

He removes one out of 3 or 4 he's still taking a hell of a pounding.
