Uwing Bomber

By 4fox100, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Fun little idea i had while theory crafting for the Uwing (my apologies if someone has already posted this). Not sure if it would be deemed 'competitive' only time will tell. Personally i think it will end up more as a fun gimmick. So without further ado.

So the method to the madness is this gives you a bomb drop when you block. Which is not always the best thing but it could come in handy. Also the real fun is when you full stop. You can reveal a stop, flip around, gain stress, baffle it or action with chopper (depending on the build), take a damage, and drop the bomb on something that was origionaly in front of you. Difference between the builds is that onle lets you shoot while bumped. Which with the pilot ability would become hilariously trollish. Bump me, i get TL, and goodbye ship.

Anyways i would like some opinions and critique on the idea. Especially any that deals with something i overlokked that kills the combo (do that way to often).

Thanks as always.

Would be amusing to watch it happen, but this is one thing Imperials actually do a lot better with "Deathfire" or "Deathrain".

I like the Zeb build. More pain for the points.

The only thing I'd suggest is to look at Enhanced Sensors.

Mostly because if you go in for that initial bump, a smart opponent will make sure it doesn't happen by either hard turning, or going so fast he overshoots.

While being behind a Bomber isn't the best idea it does mean that you will already have missed the opportunity to drop this turn, and will have to move away before you drop next turn.

The solution I looked at is either Sensors on the Chopper build, or Bombardier on the baffle build.
