What's your favorite bomber list?

By mad mandolorian, in X-Wing Squad Lists

A friend of mine refuses to run anything other than a heavy bomber list and i have come up with some for him but i'm wondering if any of y'all have something better

Restrictions: must have bombs on at least 2 ships and at least theoretically somewhat competitive

Edited by mad mandolorian

this is my list:

Meranda Doni (42)

Extra Munitions + Sabine Wren + Cluster Missiles + Ion Bombs + Munitions Failsafe

Gold Squadron (30)

Dorsal Turret + Extra Munitions + Bomb Loadout + Cluster Bombs + R5-P9

Gold Squadron (30)

Dorsal Turret + Extra Munitions + Bomb Loadout + Cluster Bombs + R5-D8

This is one of my most successful bomber lists:

The Inquisitor (25)
Push the Limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)

Gamma Squadron Pilot (18)
Extra Munitions (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
Seismic Charges (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Gamma Squadron Pilot (18)
Extra Munitions (2)
Homing Missiles (5)
Seismic Charges (2)
Guidance Chips (0)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)
Crack Shot (1)

Total: 100

Its pretty good against a lot of things and it gives the opponent a tough choice. Either he tries to go after the Inquisitor and leaves himself open to the damage the Bombers can do, or he goes after the Bombers and leaves the Inquisitor to flank him and be an end game piece. Also, the BSP w/ Crackshot can't be ignored for too long. Makes a good blocker and also can tag damage onto an ace. One change you can make is dropping the BSP to an Academy which allows you to run Prockets on the Inquisitor. Haven't tried that one yet, but intend to.

I think LRS might be better with Homing, though. I guess its preference.
