Would the U-Wing work as a heavy bomber in a two-ship build?

By StriderZessei, in X-Wing Squad Lists

U-Wing: · Heff Tobber (24)

Extra Munitions (2)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

· Sabine Wren (2)

· Cassian Andor (2)

Pivot wing (0)

Cluster Mines (4)

With Advanced Sensors and his pilot ability, Heff can drop bombs and boost without having to do a maneuver. Cassian can ensure that he's in a position to block and trigger his abilities.

Thoughts? Which bombs, clusters or proximity mines?

Neither, Connor Nets and ion bombs or Seismics/Thermal detanators

For the action Bombs I'd go with Clusters. If you're lucky you can get a potential 7 damage drop on a large based ship to the rear.

Conner nets are an option though and probably better vs small ships.

Cluster Mines I prefer when I get multiples of them, but if you expect many large based ships they still aren't bad. I'd also recommend Conner Nets if you only have one bomber, though. The control they offer can be devastating to many ships.

I run a bomber U, and I LOVE IT!

Moves first, gets into position for the snap shot with EU. target moves into position, snap shot, range one 4 dice shot. Next turn, move behind the target, drop the bomb on the target. flip the card. Next turn, flip the ship/flip the card. get setup to repeat the previous engagement.

so much fun it's criminal!
